No matter how you choose, you can’t choose with your eyes closed!

Selecting a bedroom door is completely different from choosing clothes. You absolutely cannot go to a store and just pick out a good style! Otherwise, I will definitely be confused when I buy it! Here is a guide to selecting bedroom doors. Generally, these three steps are enough~

OK Size

Determining the size of the door opening must not be ignored! If you don\’t know how to measure it yourself, you can ask the wooden door manufacturer to come to your door to measure it, which will be more accurate. Then you can customize the wooden door according to the size of the door opening.

Is it silent

Is the bedroom door soundproof and quiet? For us It’s really important! ! !

Solid wood door

Solid wood composite door

From this point of view alone, you can choose between solid wood doors and solid wood composite doors for bedroom doors

The door leaf of the solid wood door is made of a kind of natural wood, and it is a whole piece of wood. Based on the high-quality sound insulation performance of the wood itself, the solid wood door naturally has excellent sound insulation capabilities.

Solid wood composite door, the door panel is usually density board. Common filling materials includesolid wood square, bridge hole mechanical board, honeycomb paper, etc. I won’t go into details here. If To learn more about solid wood composite doors, refer to the content of the previous issue → \”Why do your wooden doors become scrapped after two years?\” \” (click for details)

Which of these three filling materials is more soundproof

Honeycomb paper

Honeycomb paper, although it is a type of filler that meets national standards, has a certain strength and has sound insulation effect, but it is cardboard after all, and its sound insulation is still slightly worse. It ranks last among the three. It is not recommended for people with high sleeping environment requirements.

Comparison between solid wood square and bridge dynamic panels, needs to be considered Questions about filling rate and raw materials.

About filling rate, this refers specifically to solid wood!

The picture shows the display of solid wood filling material, the actual filling rate is 80%

As long as the filling rate is sufficient, the solid wood core material is good enough and soundproofed The effect will also be UPUPUP⬆. On the contrary, the filling rate is low and the sound insulation effect will be weaker.

As for bridge tunnel mechanical panels, differences in raw materials and production processes will also affect its sound insulation effect and other properties.

Due to the existence of variables, we will not go into details here about which of the two is more soundproof.

Door leaf thickness

In addition to fillers, the thickness of wooden doors also affects the sound insulation effect of wooden doors to a certain extent. The standard door leaf thickness on the market is 40mm, and some can reach 45mm. Door leaves below this size will be thin, light in weight, and have poor sound insulation. Beyond this size, the sound insulation effect is increased, but the weight of the wooden door also increases, which will shorten the service life of the wooden door.

If you want to create a quieter bedroom environment, regarding the choice of bedroom door, it is recommended to consider installing magnetic silent strips and Magnetic silent lock.

Magnetic silent strip installation effect

Magnetic silent strips can be installed around the door leaf and inside the door frame. When the door is closed, the magnetic strips will be attracted together due to magnetic force, making the wooden door tightly closed, enhancing the sealing effect and blocking the air. and the spread of sound.

Magnetic silent lock

The lock tongue of the magnetic silent lock is not exposed and will only pop up automatically when the door is closed, so It avoids the sound of the lock tongue hitting during the closing process, and is relatively quiet.

Choose the right style

In addition to performance, the choice of bedroom door must also choose the right style!

If you are sure that your home will be decorated in a Nordic style, then the color style of the wooden door must be Nordic.Style, if it is a classic European style home decoration, then choose the same type of wooden doors. In short, the style will be unified! Very important!
