How to choose a bathroom door? The simplest answer is \”use alloy doors\”. It is true that compared to wooden doors, alloy doors are more resistant to water and moisture. There is no need to worry about using alloy doors when installing them.

But friends who often look at residential design cases may know that excellent designers rarely design bathroom doors as metal doors. The reason is actually very simple: no matter how expensive a metal door is, it cannot compare with the texture of a wooden door. At the same time, the wooden door can also better match the bedroom door, which is helpful to maintain the unity of the interior decoration style.

So how should you choose a bathroom wooden door, and what should you pay attention to during construction?

Choose a good wooden door

The biggest requirement for a bathroom door is to be moisture-proof to prevent the wooden door from deforming and getting moldy. This requires us to pay attention to two things when choosing wooden doors:

1. Board

If we look at the board alone, the moisture-proof effect of pure solid wood is the best. However, since the surface of pure solid wood cannot be deeply processed, the solid wood is in direct contact with moisture during use – so from the perspective of the finished door, pure solid wood does not meet the requirements for bathroom use.

So relatively speaking, solid wood composite doors and various artificial boards have more advantages. Because these boards are so ugly, they often need to be decorated before being made into doors. This decorative surface provides these doors with more functions.able.

2. Decoration

Making the board look better is the function of veneer that ordinary people understand. However, different types of decorative surfaces will also change the moisture-proof ability of wooden doors. As shown in the picture below, the middle part is called the \”base material\”, which is the type of board we often call (composite solid wood, fine wood board, particle board, etc.). The upper and lower layers are its facing▼

The facings are also divided into several materials, among which the ones that can adapt to the bathroom environment are called \”melamine boards\”, commonly known as \”moisture-proof boards\”. With this kind of veneer wrapping, water vapor cannot come into contact with the base layer inside, so there is no need to worry about the board deforming or getting moldy.

In addition, the decoration of the veneer surface will also help to further improve the moisture-proof performance of the wooden door. Such as baking paint, such as blister – such as double-sided blister (moisture-proof board is treated with blister on both sides), such as baking paint on the surface of blister.

Construction Notes

Choosing a good door is the first step. But there are too many cases where a batch of precious ingredients are spoiled by bad chefs, so good doors are not enough, we also need correct construction. In the process of bathroom decoration, there are three behaviors that are most likely to destroy the waterproof ability of the wooden door and make all previous efforts in vain:

1. Failure to separate dry and wet areas

No matter how strong the waterproof ability of a wooden door is, it can only protect against splashing water. If the shower head is sprayed directly against the wooden door, I am afraid that no wooden door can withstand it. .

So necessary Wet and dry separation must be done – it is not necessary to make a dry and wet separation partition, as long as it can ensure that water will not pour directly on the door when taking a shower

2. Do not install a threshold. Stone

The wooden door must be installed directly above the threshold stone – some users find the threshold stone ugly and also lay tiles at the bathroom door, but the tiles will absorb water ( Especially on the sides), the water-absorbed tiles will slowly evaporate upwards.

The first thing that the water vapor from the tiles comes into contact with is the wooden door. Therefore, the wooden door survives in this high humidity environment. It may be fine in the first few years, but over time, it will inevitably return to moisture.

3. No edge sealing strip

During the installation process of wooden doors, holes must be drilled, such as installing hinges and door locks. The internal base layer is exposed to water vapor.

To solve this problem, we need to install edge sealing strips at each punched hole to prevent the base layer from contacting the outside air. .
