Hi,
Installed a exterior french door and purchased it with the interior unfinished.
Wood is pine and it has divided lights. it's inswing so interior side will not get direct moisture.
Pine is so soft I'm thinking perhaps a wipe/rub on finish.
However if a film forming finish is better that's fine, I have HVLP equipment.
Surrounding trim will be maple and the room has some maple already with a typical, non stained, film finish.
I'll test for match but does not have to be perfect. I have many transtint colors.
I don't understand why the high end windows/doors default to pine. I don't think clear pine is all that much cheaper than domestic hardwood.
I had this door quoted in hardwood and it was almost twice as much!
Thanks
