Paint Grade Internal Doors for a Custom Colour Finish
When the door colour needs to match trim, cabinetry or a wider decorating scheme, a paint-grade leaf keeps the finish open. MacBlair stocks paint-grade internal doors in designs intended for preparation and coating before use.
Follow the door maker’s coating schedule rather than treating every leaf like bare timber. Prepare the surface, use the specified primer where required and finish all faces and edges within the recommended timescale. Thin, even coats leave a cleaner result around mouldings and panel detail.
Measure first and check the trimming limit before cutting. Choose door hinges for the leaf weight and pair them with handles and latches suited to the room. Where less finishing work is preferred, compare white primed doors from the internal range.
