Why does a Wooden door or window crack?
By Christo Fouche
There is mainly one reason why a wooden door or window will crack. That is because all wood are alive if you would like to call it that. Wood expands and pull together. It moves. When you do not allow for the wood to expand, it will crack and it will make a way for itself.
The biggest problem with doors as such is that the manufacturer or Carpenter of the wooden door, fixes the panels to the styles and does not allow for the door panel to move.
When you use African Hardwoods especially, you need to allow 3mm to 5mm between the panel and the style for the wood to expand. Also make sure that you do not accidentally glue the corners of the panels to the styles. You can use Oil on the
corners, and the glue will not stick to it.
The other factor that is a big culprit of cracks is the fact that the wood was not properly Kiln Dried before use. When a piece of wood is cut into plank form, the moisture in the wood settles in the center of the wood. When you use the Kiln process correctly to dry the wood, the moisture that is being pumped into the Kilns will connect with the moisture on the inside of the wood and slowly remove all the moisture.
Remember that you will not see the crack initially but if you use wet wood or wood that was not properly dried, you will get into trouble with cracks. Your entire masterpiece whether it is a wooden door or a wooden window, will be messed up.
