What is Fair Wear & Tear? Decor: Doors & Frames

Due to their frequent use doors are naturally more susceptible to wear, it is perfectly reasonable to expect minor chips, scuffs, and discolouration over time.

Despite enduring heavy daily use, they should not deteriorate prematurely if used as intended, without using feet or objects to open and close, or prop them open.

What is wear and tear?

  • Minor chips and scuffs to doors and frames
  • Handles and fixtures working loose with age
  • Natural wood defects and discolouration
  • Settlement cracks to panels and joins

What is NOT wear and tear?

  • Heavy scratches and impact damage
  • Additional hooks, nails, or fixtures
  • Stains or flaking from hanging wet towels
  • Hinges pulled out and damage to frame

We hope you find this beneficial and welcome your thoughts.
