hi,
had a repalcement rosewood door panel fitted - the original was only in for 1 day and i noticed a bubble on it in the centre the size of my fist.
also the skin had lifted slightly from the glazed unit, both inside and out.
long shot but is there anything you can apply to prevent sun damage/bubbling/lifting etc. (probably isnt)?
they said it was a manufacturing fault, but id hate it to happen again. it doesnt get loads of direct sunlight either really.
white would have looked a mess as all the houses are brown windows on the estate.
cheers

if this is a new door and panel which has been fitted then it should carry a 10 year guarantee i know this is not the answer to your question.The company we buy from use heat sheild in there panels http://gap.uk.com/welcome_to_heatshield.php which actaully reflects the heat .Most damage is caused when the sun is actually going down rather than at mid day at its hottest.One thing you could use is the streamer type door curtains people use to keep flys etc out while the door is openif you think peoples advice is helpfull please take the time to clicking the thank you button it gives great satisfaction0
