Finish Suggestions - SE Facing Exterior Sapele Door
Last year I took a big swing and decided to build a new front door for my house. My biggest worry was that it wouldn’t stay flat, but it’s held up so far! However, the door faces southeast and the finish has not held up to the pounding from the sun. I finished the door with Osmo exterior UV-protection oil. I think I knew in my heart of hearts that finish wouldn’t be sufficient for the amount of sun it gets, but I love the look and how it goes on, so I wanted to give it a shot.
I am looking for some suggestions on what you all would finish it with that would hold up to the elements a little better. A storm door with UV glass isn’t an option because we want to be able to see the door from the outside. And there is some goofiness in the way our entryway is constructed that makes a storm door less than ideal.
I’ll reply with some better details of the damage and more information about how I built this door in case anyone is interested!
