Product Details
 
Flush Panel Doors
 
Pelican Systems’ flush panel architectural doors are manufactured using only the highest standard of quality raw materials. All our veneers and door finishes for specific projects are colour and grain matched ensuring consistency of finish. Pelican Systems also manufacture fire doors and other purpose made doors, which enables Architects and Interior Designers to ensure that all the doors used on a project are finished with the same high standard of quality veneers and finishes. Pelican Systems carry a comprehensive range of stock doors of the more popular sizes and finishes.
 
Non-standard doors are available on a made to order basis and can be custom made to Architects and Interior Designers specifications subject to standard lead times.

Handling & Storage
 
All Pelican Systems timber doors are despatched from the factory pre-wrapped in protective packaging with timber support blocks to protect the bottom edge of the doors from damage. To ensure your doors remain in the same state of quality as they left the factory we recommend the following on site handling tips:
  • Doors must never be stored in an upright position with the top edge against a wall. This is the most common cause of doors bowing on site.
  • Doors should be stored on a flat, level surface.
  • Ideally doors should be stored on a protective board of at least 16mm in thickness with levelling bearers.
  • Doors should never be stored in or near direct sunlight. This can result in veneer discolouration within a few hours.
  • Do not sit on top of or store anything on top of or against timber doors being stored on site.
  • Ensure the storage area is dry and well-ventilated.
  • Exercise caution when moving and fitting doors to ensure door edges and faces are not damaged.
  • Doors, as a finishing product should be installed as late as possible in the building program to prevent damage from other trades.
