Deanta Pre-finished Oak Doors

[Lincolnshire Ian]

Hi folks

We've bought Deanta pre-finished oak internal doors for our new build. We would like to try and get a close match for the staircase handrail which will also be oak. 

Could anyone suggest a good match of wax/lacquer/varnish/stain to get as close as possible to the Deanta colour. 

Many thanks

Osmo oil is what we used in the last job where the client wanted oak 'everything'. The pre-finished Deanta doors we fitted had some sheen to them, so there was a little difference to them and the surrounding rebated linings / architraves / skirting boards and stairs (those were all raw oak and hand-finished on site to the clients preference). Satin was the suggestion, which I think is better for the generic stuff, and the doors (with the bit of mid-sheen) seemed to steal the show which I think is right.

 

I'd prefer people to say nice doors, vs the rest of the surrounding material looking better.

 

Attempting exact matches will put you in an early grave, so manage your expectations here, as I did with my redonculous OCD! Once you've moved in, you'll barely give these things a second more of your brain-space.
