If you have timber exterior doors you may regularly experience a common problem. Wooden doors can often swell in colder weather usually after a lot of rain. This can be so severe that exiting the home can only be achieved by means of prising the door open with a screwdriver or chisel. This may cause damage to the door, and is also inconvenient, especially when you are late for work etc. Sometimes this occurs when one or several of the surfaces are just bare wood. If you are suffering with this irritating issue, you can try applying a coat of paint to any bare surface once the weather is warmer. This will seal the wood and will hopefully solve the problem, but if you've had enough there is an alternative. Composite doors supplied and fitted by specialists like SJP Building Services go the distance and are virtually maintenance free. They won't swell, crack or warp, and look stunning. https://www.sjpbuilderswigan.co.uk/articles/renovate-a-home-with-new-replacement-windows-doors/
