In addition to teaching you how to choose custom wooden doors When talking about how to avoid pitfalls, I will also analyze it from the perspective of personal real experience and give you some better suggestions for purchasing wooden doors to help you make a more correct choice.

I believe, After reading this article, even if you are a novice in decorating, you will become a semi-experienced expert. At least when it comes to choosing wooden doors, no merchant can beat you~

1. Reject door cores with poor sound insulation

There can be no feeling between the living room and the bedroom. Impaired dialogue, when the old man was asleep at night, he got up to go to the toilet, and he was woken up directly from his sleep……The bedroom door with poor soundproofing is terrible to use

▲Common Wooden door core classification

In fact, the sound insulation performance of bedroom wooden doors mainly depends on the material of the door core, the thickness of the door panel, and the sealing effect of the door seam.

▲Mainstream door Core sound insulation performance ranking (homemade)

And one of the factors with the greatest impact is the \”door core\”Materials\”, and the mainstream \”door core materials\” in the market mainly include the above types. You can make reference choices based on the advantages of each classification. (As shown in the picture above, the sound insulation performance is getting better and better from bottom to top)

▲Composite solid wood Door (one of the structures) please click to enter

Allen suggested:Comprehensive price, sound insulation performance, craftsmanship and environmental protection factor Wait. Solid wood composite board materialwooden doors are more suitable for most ordinary families Choose because its comprehensive performance in all aspects is excellent and the price is mid-range.

▲Original wooden door cross-section display

If you are not short of money, it is not impossible to choose pure wooden doors. The materials are the most natural and the grade is the highest, but I personally do not recommend it.(The specific reasons will be explained in detail later)

Reject those with poor environmental performance

Wooden doors with poor environmental protection will still have a pungent smell even if they have been used for many years. However, high-quality and environmentally friendly wooden doors will hardly make people feel it even if they are just installed. Pungent and unpleasant.

▲Environmental protection is not up to standard, and the pungent smell will stay with you for many years

So when choosing wooden doors, how can we effectively reject doors with poor environmental protection?

▲Looking for a test report from a merchant

Allen suggested:① Before buying a wooden door, if you are particularly concerned about environmental protection issues, be sure to ask the merchant to provide two documents, one is the national quality management system certification certificate, and the other is the official environmental protection test report.

② Check whether the wooden doors provided by the merchant comply with the environmental protection level E1 standard stipulated in the national standard for wooden door paint in the use of raw materials such as boards and paints.

3. Reject those with poor sealing properties

If you want your wooden door to have a true \”silent effect\”, the sound insulation performance of the door core itself is not enough. The sealing of the wooden door is also an important measure. Standard.

▲Sealing Not good, it will affect the living experience later

The sealing mentioned here mainly refers to the sealing between the door leaf and the door cover after the wooden door is installed. This tests the quality of the sealing strip provided by the wooden door manufacturer, as well as the Installation standards

▲Poorly sealed wooden doors, serious light leakage

If the sealing performance of the wooden door does not meet the standard after installation, \”light leakage problems\” will occur to varying degrees, which is very unfriendly to people with light sleep.

▲Some wooden door manufacturers support four-sided sealing

Allen suggested: ① Ordinary wooden door manufacturers can only provide standard three-sided sealing of door frames, while high-quality wooden door manufacturers can provide four-sided sealing according to user requirements. (Buy wooden doors at You can ask the merchant for identification)

▲Poor installation technology, no matter how good the quality of the wooden door is, it is useless

② Three parts of the material are installed and seven parts are installed. If the high-quality sealing strip is not installed by a high-quality master, it will also affect the sound insulation and sealing performance of the wooden door. Therefore, when choosing a wooden door brand, you must check the manufacturer\’s Are the installers trained by themselves or temporarily outsourced installation masters (you also need to check whether the contract and after-sales service are guaranteed)

4. Reject ordinary door locks

▲The quality of door locks is critical

When I renovated my first apartment, I never considered the lock. I only considered whether the door lock looked good-looking and was high-end. I ignored the noise problem of the lock itself. The elderly in the family are light sleepers, and opening the bathroom door at night would easily wake up the other person. In the end, my parents had to sleep in separate rooms…

▲Silent magnet Locks are a good choice

Allen suggested:Even if you are not a light sleeper, I think You should choose a wooden door with a silent lock. The material is recommended to be 304 stainless steel, which is stable and durable and will not easily oxidize and fade over time.

5. Reject those that do not apply \”anti-deformation technology\”

Since it is a wooden door, wood must be used, whether it is original wood or spliced. The wood itself will have a certain \”shrinkage rate\” depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment.

▲No anti-deformation process, it is easy to crack and deform later

If the wooden door installed in your home does not have anti-deformation technology, it will be very easy to crack or deform when it experiences high temperature and high humidity environment later.

▲If the deformation is too severe, even the door cannot be closed tightly

Allen suggested:When choosing wooden doors, be sure to check whether the wooden door products provided by the manufacturer have undergone anti-deformation processing before leaving the factory. Mainly involves 3 points: ① Whether the door lattice has been thickened, ② the door leaf The quality of the hinges, ③ whether the door lattice is made of natural high-quality wood.

If you plan to buy solid wood composite doors, there are three additional points that you need to pay attention to:

①Wood:For solid wood composite doors, it is best to choose imported SPF wood as the door lattice. This type of wood is not only smooth in texture and less scarred, but also has a high strength-to-weight ratio, stable properties and is not easily deformed. (SPF is the English abbreviation for Sitka spruce, pine, and cold mountain) If you have a limited budget, you can also choose non-imported wood, but it is best to use\”cold pressing\” production technology, so that the wooden door can achieve a stable and durable effect and scientifically and effectively prevent future deformation.

②Door clasp Thickness:For solid wood composite doors, try to use door lattice with a thickness of more than 43mm. The thickness on the front and back is even, which can further ensure that the door leaves are balanced and not deformed.

③Hinge material:

span>For solid wood composite doors, the hinge hardware used must be of good quality, so as to ensure a high load-bearing coefficient, smoothness and stability for future use.

▲The anti-deformation performance of the door is directly related to the service life

Although the above is based on my personal experience, it is really worthy of reference by every reader.

After all, after a house is installed, it will usually be occupied for many years. Only when the door is stable and can prevent deformation can the service life be maximized. For example, it is obviously It costs the same price to customize a wooden door, so why don’t we choose one with better overall quality and more durability?

6. Reject the original wooden door

When decorating, I originally planned to choose the original wooden door for the sake of high-end, but after actually understanding the various \” After \”restriction\”, I refused directly. \”Original wooden door\”, as the name suggests, is made of a whole piece of log without any splicing.

▲Original wooden door (real shot without paint)

The first is the price limit, log + paint, an ordinary wooden door, not counting the door cover It will cost 5,000+ yuan.

▲Real shot of the original wooden door after it was painted (but it is easy to crack)

Secondly, there is the limitation of stability. I went to a friend’s house to visit her painted original wooden door, and the effect was really great! But after turning on the floor heating in winter, the door\’s shape processing cracked directly. Some families even have problems such as bending of the door leaf and unable to close the door after using the original wooden door.

▲Splicing solid wood will be more stable (but also easy to crack)

Allen suggested:If you really like the texture of natural wood. In fact, you can choose a \”spliced ​​solid wood\” wooden door. Although it is not like logs, which are usually processed directly from a single piece of wood, It is indeed a solid board made of large pieces of logs. It is also cheaper, has more shapes, and is more resistant to cracking and deformation.

(Of course, splicing solid wood cannot guarantee that it will not crack or deform 100%, but it is more stable than the whole log. If you want the real meaning For stability and comprehensive cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to choose composite solid wood doors)

7. Reject those that do not apply waterproof and moisture-proof technology

My family is in the south, and I once suffered from the disadvantage of wooden doors that were not moisture-proof. As a result, the paint-free doors I chose had varying degrees of peeling and deformation problems, so this is a reminder to readers in the south, especially those in coastal areas. .

▲The metal molding strips are directly squeezed and bent due to moisture deformation

Allen suggested:When choosing wooden doors, be sure to check whether the wooden doors provided by the manufacturer are waterproof and waterproof.Trendy craftsmanship.

Check whether the back of the door frame and sealing line are affixed PVC waterproof membrane is installed. If it is a painted door, check whether the bottom of the door leaf has been sealed with wax and whether the door leaf has been adequately painted.

Wooden doors with good moisture-proof treatment are not only It can effectively isolate surface water and high-humidity air, and at the same time prevent excessive evaporation of internal moisture to ensure the stability of the moisture content of the wooden door, making it more durable and less prone to deformation.

8. Reject paint that is not environmentally friendly

This article is shared for readers who want to choose painted doors.

Wooden doors made with inferior paint, after installation It will emit a pungent smell and is very unenvironmentally friendly. Moreover, low-quality paint is not stable enough and is prone to oxidation and discoloration after a short period of time.

▲When I bought it, it was clean and white

▲Ventilation turns into a \”yellow door\” after half a year

The picture above is a comparison picture of a real case:The bright white and pure wooden door will oxidize and turn yellow after only being ventilated for half a year, seriously affecting the appearance.

In contrast, high-quality paint first ensures environmental protection. There may be a little smell when you smell it when you are close, but it will not be pungent, and it will be completely odorless after being ventilated for a while. Secondly, the stability of high-quality paint It is more durable, even if it is white, it is not easy to oxidize and turn yellow, and it will still look like new after many years.

Allen suggests:When customizing painted wooden doors, try to choose paint from big brands It will be more secure. Such as China Resources Paint, Dabao Paint, Carbaoli Paint, Zijinhua Paint and other well-known brands.

9. Refuse to use water-based paint

If you choose to paint the door, to be honest, water-based paint is indeed more environmentally friendly than oil-based paint in a sense, but this is alsoOnly in relative terms, I still don’t recommend that you choose water-based painted wooden doors.

▲Water-based paint is dull and dull, easily stained and not wear-resistant

Allen suggested:①The biggest disadvantage of water-based paint is that the process effect is not as bright as the painted door. Secondly, the adhesion of water-based paint itself is poor, and it is very easy to be knocked or scratched. It is also very troublesome to repair later, and its stain resistance is also very poor. . If your hands are not clean, a slight touch can leave marks.

▲Water-based paint is easy to peel off, and it will fall off with just a scratch of your fingernail

②As for the price, water-based paint is also very expensive, and many ordinary consumers cannot afford it.

▲The texture and wear resistance of paint are incomparable to water-based paint

In comparison, oil-based paint is characterized by good color, high hardness, anti-bump, stronger stain resistance, easier care, and longer service life.

Although from an environmental perspective, strictly speaking Oil-based paint is indeed inferior to water-based paint, but as long as you choose one from a major manufacturer or brand, you don’t have to worry about these problems.

Besides, after the new house is installed, it must be ventilated It will take a while before you move in. As long as it is of good quality and passes the quality standard, the smell will be completely dispersed if it is ventilated for a period of time. (Water-based paint also needs ventilation, and water-based paint is more likely to oxidize and discolor than oil-based paint, especially white)

If you are in a hurry to move in, you can also choose a paint-free door. The paint-free doors from some major brands can even be completely odor-free after installation, so you don’t have to wait for check-in. .

Of course, how about To choose, you still have to base it on your actual preferences and budget.Spending makes decisions.
