1. Which wooden door main body material and craftsmanship are worth buying?

The mainstream wooden doors currently on the market include pure original wood doors and solid wood There are three categories: composite doors and membrane-pressed doors (also called paint-free doors), each with its own advantages and disadvantages:

(1) Original wooden door

Made of spliced ​​original wooden boards, the materials are environmentally friendly, the texture is the best, and the quality is the highest, but it is expensive and easy to get damp later. Deformation, easy to crack if too dry

(2) Solid wood composite door

The surface is a solid wood veneer panel, and the interior is a frame plus a door core. The door core is usuallyFilled with pine or fir. The appearance of solid wood composite doors is not inferior to that of original wooden doors, and its performance is relatively stable and not easy to deform or crack.

(3) Film pressure door (paint-free door , ecological gate)

The main body of the membrane pressure door is density board, with a PVC film attached to the surface. Membrane doors are usually cheaper, but their formaldehyde content is higher, their texture is light, and their grade is lower.

Selection suggestions:If you want a high-end texture, you can choose original wooden doors; for ordinary home decoration, it is recommended to choose solid wood composite doors, which have good texture and high cost performance. But pay attention to ask what the filling wood of the door core is. The best is fir, followed by pine. Some cheap products are filled with other miscellaneous wood, and the quality stability is not as good as fir.

2. What are the paint techniques for wooden doors? Which one is better?

The painting process of wooden doors is baking paint, paint-free, and spray painting. Among the three processes:

(1) Paint door

The texture is better, and the finished product is more colorful and high-end. However, if there is a bump on the paint surface, it will easily break, causing dents or falling off. And difficult to repair

(2) Paint-free door

The use of paint for paint-free doors is more environmentally friendly, the formaldehyde content will be lower, and the moisture-proof performance is better, and it is easier to maintain. However, the gloss of the paint-free door is not as good as that of the painted door, and the sense of high-end is not as high.

(3) Paint door

Spray paint with airbrush, texture It’s poor and smells like paint, and it’s not environmentally friendly.

Selection suggestions:Those who want a high-end feel You can choose a painted door; if you want to be more affordable and more environmentally friendly, choose a paint-free door

3. What is the required thickness of the door panel?

The thickness of the door panel directly affects the texture, stability, durability and sound insulation capabilities of the door. In theory, the thicker the better.

Selection suggestions: Do not be lower than 4.5 cm, so that the texture will be thick and the sound insulation effect will be up to standard. Please note that there are some affordable but very thick wooden doors on the market. In fact, the internal filling is not It is made of solid wood but filled with various materials. This kind of door has a light texture and will make a hole if you smash it hard. Don\’t buy this kind of door.

4. How to ensure that the sound insulation of wooden bedroom doors meets the requirements?

To ensure that the sound insulation effect of wooden doors is good, three aspects should be paid attention to. : One is the thickness of the door panel; the other is the sealing stripQuality; the third is the tightness between the door and the door frame.

Selection suggestions:First, as mentioned in the previous article, the thickness of the door panel is at least 4.5 cm. The thicker, the better the sound insulation; second, choose good quality sealing and mute strips on three sides. All must be installed, and the sealing strip must be installed in a slot type to be stable; third, ensure the accuracy of the size, choose a reliable brand, and the process will be more mature.

5. Does the quality of hardware have a big impact on wooden doors?

A wooden door with good texture must be matched with high-quality hardware. There are three types of hardware for wooden doors: hinges, door locks and door handles.

(1) Hinge

Selection suggestions:As the core component of door panel support and opening and closing, hinges are the most important hardware. First, choose a better brand, and the hinges are generally matched by merchants. It can be used, but the quality is not very good. If you are pursuing quality, you can do it yourself Buy better hinges online; second, in terms of quantity, each door must be equipped with three hinges, two on the top and one on the bottom to increase the firmness to ensure stability; third, pay attention to the type of hinges and use silent hinges Hinge can be installed without grooving the door body. Do not choose hinges that require grooving.

(2) Door lock

Selection suggestions:When choosing a door lock for a bedroom door, focus on the quietness when opening and closing. The door lock matched by the merchant is basically a decoration, and it will become easier to use after a period of use. It is broken, and there will be noise every time it is opened and closed. It is recommended to buy a magnetic silent lock. The lock will not make any abnormal noise when opening and closing the door. It is silent, beautiful and high-end and easy to use.

(3) handle

Selection suggestions:The handles can be matched by the merchant, but be careful to choose ones with rounded corners, especially those with babies at home. We often hear babies being hit by door handles. If necessary, you can buy a handle online and put it back on later.

6. Pay attention to the door cover of the wooden door. What?

As a matching part of the wooden door, the door panel plays a key role in supporting the wooden door. However, in actual selection, the door panel is often a place where merchants cut corners.

Selection suggestions:First, pay attention to the thickness. Choose a door cover plate with a thickness of more than 3.5 cm. Only a door cover plate with this thickness can ensure that the door leaf is grasped and prevent the door leaf from sinking later. Door panels that are too thin have insufficient nail-holding power and are easily deformed. Over time, the door leaf will sink and rub against the floor;The second is to pay attention to the material. Don’t just look at the surface. Pay attention to the material and choose a solid board made of the same material as the door. Don’t be fooled by the merchants using hollow boards and density boards.

7. Why are there additional items when buying a door? Is there any way to avoid increased costs during later installation?

It is common for inexperienced novices to encounter additional items when buying wooden doors. Many businesses will only quote the main door when quoting in the early stage in order to retain customers. The price, matching hardware, and door covers are all of poor quality, but the total price is controlled, making it easy to attract customers. But later in the installation stage, they will guide you to replace the hardware and door frames, and then kill you!

Suggestions for avoiding pitfalls: First, the hardware, door covers, etc. must be clarified when quoting in the early stage. Which brand and model of hinges and door locks should be used? What handle to use? What material should be used for door covers, etc., the more detailed the better; second, a contract or agreement must be signed. In addition to clarifying the content mentioned above, the contract must also clearly state the construction period, warranty period, payment method, etc. It is recommended to pay a deposit first, and then pay the balance after installation and acceptance.

8. Can wooden doors be purchased online? What to pay attention to?

To be honest, I do not recommend that you buy wooden doors online. There are risks in size, quality, installation and after-sales service. If you must buy online, be sure to pay attention to these issues: First, choose a reliable brand or store and don’t be greedy for cheap; second, pay attention to accurate measurement and communication with the merchant; third, make sure the transportation and installation costs are clarified in advance.
