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?

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

Chaos


Calm

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