Instructions: The chart below is divided into four exposures (North, South, East, West). Each exposure has two conditions (1)Full sun with NO porch and NO overhang (2)NO sun and FULL porch or overhang.

Find your door and/or frame in the left column and your exposure with condition. Where the two intersect is your maintenace guide. (ie.... a wood door stained with a south exposure and full sun condition will be HIGH maintenance. )


-Sun and heat will deteriorate your protective finish and chaulking
-Water and moisture will deteriorate any unprotected wood
-Never paint plastic door moldings a dark color
-Storm doors should always be vented to avoid heat build-up
