Dowel construction doors are jointed using drilled holes and fluted dowels. This method is widely used within the door industry and now has the added benefit of modern high spec adhesives to give a strong hardwearing joint.
M&T is a more traditional joint using tenoned rails and mortised stiles that are fitted together using a wedge system for added strength.
What products should I use to finish my doors?
Only a fully paint finish (primer, undercoat, gloss) or high performance stain/lacquer should be used.
