New wooden door treatment.
Penetrative wood treatments are the type of products that soak into the wood and protect from within such as decking oils.
The maintenance procedure is basically the same whether the door has been painted or coated with a clear natural finish.
Interior doors are usually finished with an oil varnish wax or paint.
The treatment of lumber with waterborne preservatives leaves moisture in the wood.
Apply paint and stain only to a clean door and tape off.
A door finish is the treatment that protects wooden doors from day to day wear and other hazards associated with busy environments.
Allow new pressure treated wood to dry before staining or sealing.
This is why fresh pt lumber often arrives wet from the supplier and the moisture can impede the penetration of stains and paints.
