FAQ

Find answers to the most common questions about doors, windows & flooring.

Doors, Windows & Flooring

Stainless steel (rust-proof), brushed nickel (durable), or solid brass (luxe). Avoid cheap metals that tarnish.

Dense hardwoods (oak, maple, walnut) are ideal for durability. For budget options, use plywood with veneer or metal frames. Always seal wood with food-safe finishes.

Use galvanized landscape spikes (every 6–8 inches) or nails with washers for hard surfaces like concrete.

Measure length, width, and depth, then add 8–10 inches to each side for tucking.
