What finish is suitable for doors and trims?+
The choice depends on existing coating, appearance, handling, ventilation and maintenance expectations. Water-based enamel systems can offer a hard-wearing, non-yellowing option when compatible with the surface and preparation.
Can door hardware remain in place?+
Hardware protection or removal is agreed in the scope. Removal may produce a cleaner result on some doors, but access, security and refitting requirements also need consideration.
