Hi all. Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but, I have to replace a door in our flat, and as I was looking for a new one, I came across the word "unlipped". As english is not my mother tongue, I am not really familiar with that term. I have looked online but can't seem to find an explanation. Can anyone explain what is an "unlipped" door? Thank you.
I have no idea and English is my mother tongue and I'm a chippie. What are the dimensions of your door and what do you want the new one to look like?
Thank you for your replies. The door will be a flush, white, 762 x 1981 that I have to reduce to 1970, nothing special, but I was curious about this "unlipped" term. I have learned another word..."chippie".
I know howdens do lipped and unlipped flush doors, unlipped just has the exposed softwood structure, the lipped has a hardwood lipping down the long edges. Doesn't make a lot of difference in my opinion, the lipped edges will be a little easier to paint and won't have knots in like you'll find on the edges on an unlipped door, so will make it a bit easier to plane down.
OP's only mentioned the height that needs reducing by 11mm, lipping's only on the long edges. However still something to bare in mind that if the width needs reducing much that you could end up taking most if not all of the lipping off.
