Description
Rosewood UPVC Flat Door Panel (700mm x 900mm)
Heat-resistant and fire-retardant technology with added reinforcement.
A 700mm x 900mm easy-to-install and environmentally friendly replacement for currently broken/damaged panels or removal of a pet flap.
The insulated interior of this panel, manufactured with advanced technology techniques bonds together fire-retardant type A polystyrene foam and MDF using a vacuum formed and pressure bonded process to add superior strength and security to both uPVC skins.
The exterior meanwhile, available in a choice of 2 finishes is composed of 2 highly durable uPVC skins, bonded to the internal core while the heat-resistant technology of the foiled woodgrain finish helps maintain the integrity and protect from blistering and cracking, thermal distortion and UV discolouration.
Please note the grain runs along the 700mm length of the panel.

Fitting and Usage
Fitting PVC-u Door Panels
Fitting the panels is fairly straight forward, but we offer 5 useful pointers to bear in mind.
- Leave protective film in place to prevent scratches during handling. Be sure to peel off before fitting, or peel back from the edges, so that it does not get trapped by the beads.
- A decorators paint scraper or similar tool can be used to remove any beads. When removing, it is easier to start with the longer ones. When replacing beads, the longer ones should be done last. As you remove beads, mark the back of them to identify where they came from (ie. top, right, bottom, left) as they should be put back in the same position.
- When measuring and cutting to size, remember the phrase 'measure twice - cut once'. Be sure the measurement is correct as a cut can�t be undone.
- Fine-toothed handsaw or jigsaw blade is most suitable for cutting the panels.
- Soft headed hammers can be used to encourage reluctant beads to go back in when they are fitted nice and tight. Remember that cold temperature can make PVC-u brittle.
