However, solid wood doors are divided into \”all solid wood doors\” and \”Solid Wood Composite Door\” in terms of price, environmental protection, durability and other performance.

Today, COCO brings you a little knowledge about solid wood doors, allowing you to understand the common traps of solid wood doors, solid wood and composite in 5 minutes. The difference between solid wood and how to choose solid wood doors. If you pretend to be an expert, you will not be afraid of being cheated when you go to the market.

Common traps of solid wood doors in the market

(1) Use solid wood composite doors as full solid wood doors

Full solid wood doors The cost is high and the price is expensive. Therefore, some unscrupulous merchants often use solid wood composite wooden doors as full solid wood doors to earn the price difference. When we go to ask \”Are there any solid wood doors?\”, the merchants often recommend solid wood composite doors. The same price, but different products, for non-professionals without discernment, it is easy to be deceived.

(2) Solid wood composite doors will be filled with inferior wood

A common trap is to fill the entire wooden door close to the door lock and installation hinge. Wood, inferior quality wood is used elsewhere. Once you purchase such a door that cuts corners, its service life will be greatly shortened.

The difference between all solid wood doors and composite solid wood doors

(1) All solid wood doors

All solid wood doors are made entirely of solid wood Processed. According to different processing techniques, solid wood doors are divided into original wooden doors and finger-jointed wooden doors

①Original wooden doors\”. Looks like—\”

The original wooden door is made of a whole piece of natural solid wood, and different parts are connected with tenons. No material is attached to the surface. Whatever the texture of the core material is, the surface will have the same texture. It is truly \”like inside and outside\” .

② refers to Finger-jointed wooden doors

Finger-jointed wooden doors are solid wood doors made by sawing large shields into required sizes and shapes and then splicing them together. They are much cheaper than original wooden doors and finger-jointed wooden doors. , but its stability is better than that of original wooden doors

Solid wood doors are mostly made of precious wood, such as cherry wood, walnut, teak, etc., which have the characteristics of sound insulation, environmental protection, corrosion resistance, no cracks and insulation. Advantages of thermal insulation

The disadvantages are also obvious. Once the solid wood is not dehydrated in place, the door body is easy to deform and crack, and its flame retardancy is relatively poor.

(2) Solid wood composite door

Solid wood composite door It is the most common and best-selling wooden door on the market. Its door frame is made of solid wood, but the door core can be made of various materials (including medium-density board, particle board, small solid wood blocks or finger-jointed laminated timber blocks), and a layer of solid wood is heat-pressed on the surface.

Divided into leather. There are two types: clear throttle and mixed throttle. The former means that the texture of various solid wood skins can be directly seen with the naked eye by applying varnish on the outside. The latter is directly painted on the balance layer after modeling. There is no solid wood texture. The shapes of solid wood composite doors are diverse. Variety of styles

The advantages of solid wood composite doors are that they are not easy to crack and deform, are soundproof, environmentally friendly, have good durability and impact resistance, are easy to repair, and have a strong sense of solid wood.

The disadvantage is that it is afraid of bumps and water immersion. Compared with solid wood doors, solid wood composite doors are low-priced and cost-effective.

How to choose solid wood doors

For ordinary consumers, all solid wood doors and mid-to-high-end solid wood composite doors Doors are really hard to spot in appearance and it\’s easy to be fooled. Since the country has not promulgated standards for solid wood doors, it is just a convention in the industry, which makes identification more difficult.

So how to choose solid wood doors? COCO has the following suggestions.

(1) Whether it is an all-solid wood door or a solid wood composite door, brand products are preferred

①Choose some industry brands, well-known brands or products with \”China×\” × strong\” product title.

② When purchasing in a regular professional mall, you can get double guarantees. One is the guarantee of the store, and the other is the supervision guarantee of the mall. Once a problem occurs, the mall will help solve it and handle it properly. Here you can also choose star-rated stores recommended by industry and commerce, and you will get more products and after-sales services. Assure.

③ Go to a specialty store to buy. Note that a store that only operates one brand does a better job in pre-sales, sales, and after-sales. If you are operating multiple brands at the same time, it is recommended that the owner consider it carefully.

④ Check the documents. First, check the business license of the merchant. Second, check the qualification report that the manufacturer must have a business license, tax registration certificate, trademark registration certificate, etc., and third, check the product manual, quality inspection certificate, etc. Check whether the product has environmental certification. Only with these qualification reports can it be shown that the product sold is a qualified product.

(2) Identify all solid wood doors or solid wood composite doors

①By price Distinguishing

The most intuitive way to determine whether it is an all-solid wood door or a solid wood composite door is the price,All solid wood doors are relatively expensive. Most solid wood doors such as oak and ash are around 3,000 yuan. If you choose expensive wood, the price will be even more expensive.

The price of low-end solid wood composite doors is generally between one thousand and two thousand yuan, and the price of mid-to-high-end solid wood composite doors is mostly between two thousand and five thousand yuan.

②Identify the material by looking at the details

All solid wood doors are made of one material from the inside to the outside. And solid wood composite door The door core and internal structure are made of other woods and density boards, and only the surface is made of high-grade wood and spray-painted.

1. Observe the top and bottom of the wooden door, the door edge of the door leaf and the horizontal edge of the door leaf. At the head joint, thick wood veneer is generally not hot-pressed, and the integration can be seen. If the door is completely sealed with paint around the bottom, it is often because the merchant is trying to cover up the material.

2. Observe whether the wooden door is composed of two materials from the keyhole, hinges and other details. What needs to be reminded here is that if you purchase solid wood composite Doors, beware that the manufacturer fills the keyholes and hinges with a whole piece of wood and fills other parts with low-quality wood. The way to identify it is to weigh the sample door and the actual door you want to buy. If the filling is different. It\’s easy to tell by the weight.

(3) Check the quality of wooden doors

The quality of wood grain is mainly determined by paint quality, paint type, Check the flatness, solidity, hardware accessories and other aspects of the wooden door

①Look at the paint quality

Except for paint-free doors, all wooden doors. You need to apply a layer of paint on the surface to determine the effect of the paint. It directly determines whether the wooden door looks good. At the same time, the paint effect is also the best indicator of the quality of the wooden door manufacturer. Therefore, it is very important to identify the paint process of the door.

a. Look and feel the fullness of the paint film. Degree

A plump paint film indicates that the paint is of good quality and seals the wood well. It also indicates that the painting process is relatively complete and there is no suspicion of cutting corners. The main way to identify this is to look at multiple models and compare multiple times.

b. Check whether the paint film is Smooth

Observe the paint film from the diagonal side of the door to see if there is obvious orange peel phenomenon and whether there are small raised particles. If the orange peel phenomenon is obvious, it means the paint film is baked. The workmanship is not up to par; if there are obvious small particles , indicating that the painting equipment of this factory is relatively rudimentary

c. The edges of the shape lines of fancy doors should be looked at

especially the inner corners. (that is, the corner that can be seen but cannot be touched) is made of Are there any cracks in the paint film?

For solid wood composite doors with non-flat surfaces, if you want to stick the surface veneer snugly, you need a vacuum special-shaped laminating machine that does not have these equipment. I had to use solid wood lines instead. The disadvantage of this is that On the one hand, the appearance is unlikely to be the same as the veneer texture of other parts (the veneer is mostly precious wood); more importantly, the solid wood lines in areas with huge changes in humidity can easily cause the paint film at the inner corners to crack after expansion and contraction. , seriously affecting the appearance.

②Ask about the type of paint

The most commonly used paint for wooden doors now is PU paint (polyurethane paint) ), PU paint is easy to polish, and the processing process saves time and effort. The disadvantage is that the paint film is soft and can easily produce white shadow dents due to slight bumps.

If you add at least one layer of PE paint (polyester paint) to the paint layer. ), will greatly reduce this possibility. The paint film is hard, has strong hiding power, and has good transparency, and can better express the texture of the wood veneer. However, because it is difficult to polish and the processing process is time-consuming and laborious, most manufacturers are unwilling to use PE coating.

Rather. This can reflect the manufacturer\’s attitude towards the product. Therefore, when purchasing wooden doors, owners may wish to ask about the type of paint. Generally, the training of promoters will not involve this aspect, so they are less likely to deceive consumers on this point.

③Look at the flatness of the door surface

Look at the surface of the wooden door from the side to see if it is flat. If If it is obviously uneven, it means that the board is relatively cheap and the environmental performance is difficult to meet the standards. For composite doors with surface skin, it depends on whether the veneer is blistered. If there is blistering, it means that the veneer is heated unevenly during the attachment process, or the glue is not applied properly. Uniform, the workmanship is not in place

④ Check whether the structure is strong

The wooden door is a finished product, and we cannot check its internal structure. We can use a simple Method to check the solidity of its structure: Find an installed door in the exhibition hall, pull the handle and close the door hard. If the upper and middle parts of the door do not reach the door frame at the same time, and there is a slight vibration in the upper part of the door, it means that the solidity is not good.Very small, need to try several times and observe carefully.

⑤Hardware accessories

Hardware accessories cannot be ignored. You can try the product to feel whether it is smooth and comfortable to use.

Summary:The above are some suggestions and summary of COCO for solid wood doors. I think solid wood doors are expensive, so before purchasing Don\’t be careless when doing it. Be sure to clearly distinguish the difference between solid wood doors and composite solid wood doors to avoid wasting money.
