Original wooden door? Solid wood door? Composite door? What’s the difference? Experts won’t tell you.

Everyone will always encounter various problems when decorating, among which wooden doors The selection of wooden doors troubles many people. Everyone hopes that the wooden doors they choose conform to the overall style and are of good quality when used. However, for laymen, how can we distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of various wooden doors, so as to choose the most cost-effective and consistent Wooden doors for your own needs.

Wooden doors are usually divided into the following categories according to material:

Laminated doors: Wooden doors mostly made of density board

Solid wood composite door: The door core is made of pine or fir, and the surface panels are mostly plywood or density board. Wooden door made of boards

Solid Wood Doors: Wooden doors mostly made of solid wood finger-jointed boards

Original Wood Doors: It is a wooden door made of a whole piece of log

The material of wooden doors determines the price, so consumers must know some knowledge about wooden doors. When purchasing wooden doors, they choose low-quality wooden doors for the sake of temporary advantage, or are deceived by shopping guides into choosing wooden doors with poor price/performance ratio. Avoid a series of after-sales problems that cannot be pursued in the future.

Original wooden door

Original wooden doors refer to wooden doors made from a single piece of log, without composite wood or fillers. Therefore, the original wooden doors are of relatively high quality and are not easily deformed or cracked by paint or wood glue. Less usage, more environmentally friendly.

Advantages: No deformation or cracking, Durable, heavy, and good in sound insulation.

Disadvantages: expensive material, complex process, high cost, usually a wooden door 2 -3000 and above

What kind of wood is the best for raw wooden doors?

1. Rosewood: hard material, suitable for doors, with uniform texture and staggered structure, high gloss and smooth cut surface, and good coating and gluing properties.

2. Black walnut: smooth planed surface, corrosion-resistant, with a slight smell, good structure Thick and uniform, with staggered or straight texture, suitable for high-end furniture.

3. Maple: The cut surface is quite special, with a common \”bird\’s eye\” pattern and a straight-through texture. Fine and uniform, with strong corrosion resistance.

4. Teak: has a natural golden luster , with a bit of leather flavor, and the cut surface is particularly smooth. It has good drying performance and good paint and adhesive properties. It is suitable for high-end furniture and is perfect for making original wooden doors.

5. Red oak: The texture is mountain-shaped, The surface feels good to the touch, and the texture is hard and the structure is very strong. If it is used as a wooden door, its service life will be longer.

The original wooden door is processed from a single piece of wood and is not spliced.

Solid wood door

Solid wood doors are usually made of solid wood finger-jointed panels. High-end solid wood boards are spliced ​​with relatively good wood, so the structure, material, and weight of solid wood doors are not much different from those of original wood doors. Low-end solid wood doors are filled with lower-end woods such as pine and fir, and the surface panels are plywood or density boards.

Advantages: More cost-effective than original wooden doors. High-end solid wood doors are processed through plate, shape, surface paint and other processes. After processing, the finished solid wood doors are not easy to deform, are corrosion-resistant, have no cracks and have sound insulation and other advantages.

Disadvantages: After all, solid wood doors are spliced ​​with logs and glue is used for bonding, so they also contain a certain amount of formaldehyde, but it is relatively less than composite doors. If the solid wood splicing process is not up to standard, it will also cause problems in the future. Deformation and cracking during use

The solid wood door uses finger-jointed solid wood splicing as shown in the picture above, so the splicing effect is almost the same as that of the original wood

To identify whether a solid wood door is solid wood or logs, you can look at the cross section of the wood and see that it is made up of multiple pieces of solid wood. .

To identify whether a solid wood door is solid wood or logs, you can also look at the details of the corners and whether the grain is continuous.

Composite solid wood door

Composite solid wood doors are mostly made of several types of boards. The most common door cores are made of pine, Wooden doors made of solid wood finger-jointed boards such as fir, and the surface boards are mostly made of plywood or density board. From the appearance point of view, the composite solid wood door has clear texture and texture to the touch. The sound and heat insulation performance is almost the same as that of solid wood doors.

Multi-layer composite solid wood board cross-section, you can intuitively see that the multi-layer board is composed of multiple layers.

Multi-layer composite solid wood board cross-section, you can intuitively see that the multi-layer board is composite.

Advantages: Solid wood composite doors are relatively light in weight and can be customized according to needs. The skin is made of fiberboard or density board, and the door core is made of solid wood strips. The stability and durability of the wooden door are guaranteed. High cost performance.

Disadvantages: Compared with solid wood doors, if composite solid wood doors are kept in a humid place for a long time, it is easy to cause wood deformation, composite skin cracking, paint peeling, skin bubbles, easy deformation, etc.

With the popularity of \”solid wood style\”, solid wood doors have become the favorite of decoration choices. On the market, solid wood composite doors are also confusing the public under the banner of \”solid wood\”. However, \”solid wood doors are not solid wood\” The \”hidden rules\” of the industry are an open secret in the building materials industry, so the main difference between solid wood doors and composite solid wood doors is [Core material]

Solid wood doors and composite solid wood doors are essentially distinguished based on core materials. Composite solid wood doors are mostly made of pine, fir or imported filling materials as the door core, and are covered with density board and solid wood veneer. Made after high-temperature hot pressing, and edge-sealed with solid wood lines

Solid wood doors are made of natural logs as the door core, which are dried and then scientifically processed through blanking, planing, tenoning, drilling, high-speed milling and other processes.

Laminated door

Doors made of molded door panels are molded doors. Generally, solid wood is broken into particles, mixed with non-wood plant debris, mixed with phenolic glue as an adhesive and paraffin, and then molded at one time under high temperature and pressure. Wooden doors made of density board or particle board are mostly used.

The most common laminated doors are the doors of custom wardrobes, cabinets, and wall cabinets in your home; merchants will tell you that this is Made of particle board (the most common laminate door)

Laminated doors usually use integrated lamination, which makes the door panel more integrated and has more diverse shapes.

Advantages: Molded wooden doorBecause the price is more affordable, cost-effective, and the door styles are rich.

Disadvantages:Density board, particle board, composite board and other boards all contain a certain amount of formaldehyde, and the sound insulation effect of the door panel is relatively poor, so it cannot be wet or bumped.

Common boards for laminate doors are: particle board, density board, plywood, multi-layer board

The above furniture cabinets and cabinet doors usually use laminate doors

The editor will briefly organize it according to the door type today. I hope you will like it! It is not easy to organize. I hope you will use your noble little hands to give me a like after reading it. Thank you very much.
