OK peeps, looking to replace all of my internal doors. I had them done a couple of years back using Oak laminated doors from Howdens and whilst I was very happy with them when they first turned up once they had been given a few coats of Sikkens they turned a horrible glossy orange colour. I want a natural oiled finish.....apparently you cannot use oils or lacquers on laminates.
So, I am trying again, this time we are replacing all of the casings and skirting with solid Oak with an oiled finish:


What I now need is doors to match, a mix of solid and glazed as well as a pair of bi-folds. I like this design:


So how can I get these in an oiled matt finish?

We have oiled engineered oak doors from the local timber company in our house, same design as above (called Suffolk) - never had a problem with them looking anything other than a natural, matt finish (done with Osmo Polyx oil, two coats sparingly then gently rubbed down with 320 grit paper).
Solid door costs, in the numbers we needed them made me wince.

Got ours from here http://www.flooringanddoors.co.uk/doors/internal/s...

Actually, looking at my picture above, mine does look a bit like it's been on the self-tan.
They look more like the ones above, honest guv, blame the phone smile

I bloody knew someone would ask that, Wife chose it and I must say it's turned out to be perfect. Its Little Green paints, Slaked Lime Mid.

Thank you very much.
I want to try that with the wood flooring that's already in place.

Wow, thanks, that's really appreciated. Took a lot of angst to get to that point, house renovation is pretty stressful.

More detail on the colour, takes on lots of differing hues depending on the light/shadows, really pleased with it.
