When people decorate, they usually choose anti-theft doors for entrance doors, frosted glass doors for bathrooms, and wooden doors are the most commonly used indoor doors. Wooden doors can be divided into three categories according to the door core: molded doors (paint-free doors), solid wood composite doors, and solid wood doors. In fact, in addition to some fake and shoddy wooden door cores that use cement + cardboard, there is indeed a honeycomb paper core door that meets national standards, and it can be called a wooden door. Moreover, wooden doors with different door cores can be made similar in appearance by veneering, painting, etc. If you don\’t want to suffer a loss, you might as well listen to me talk about the \”secret ways\”.

The price of wooden doors varies greatly, and the essence is the difference in door cores. The cheapest are paper-core doors and molded doors (paint-free doors), which are generally priced below a thousand yuan; composite solid wood doors generally cost between one and two thousand; solid wood doors will cost three to four thousand, and the solid wood door core is The price difference between different types of wood will also be very large.

First, let’s talk about the differences between the three door cores:

Molded door core

The most commonly used door core for molded doors is density board. The so-called density board is to press and bond wood fibers into a board shape with glue. Molded doors use density board as the door core, and then apply veneers on the surface to make door panels of various colors and styles.

The density boards used to make door panels are divided into two types: hollow and solid. Some molded doors have a fully hollow structure, so the molded doors are lighter. Because consumers think the heavier the door, the better, so some profiteers will use door panels made of cement + cardboard to pass off as higher-end door panels. Even the cardboard of this type of door is unqualified.

In addition to being used as room doors, molded doors are also commonly used as cabinet doors for various wardrobes and cabinets. In addition to being cheap, the main advantage of molded doors is that they are very stylish. Simple and diverse in appearance. However, due to the high formaldehyde content of density board, the edge sealing of molded doors must be done well to reduce formaldehyde release. At the same time, due to its low strength, it can generally only be used for indoor doors, which has poor strength and is difficult to use. Average life span

Composite solid wood door core

Composite solid wood door is made of solid wood spliced ​​keel + door core. There are many types of door cores: multi-layer board core, particle board core , density board core, honeycomb paper core, etc. The \”black heart\” cardboard doors often exposed on the Internet are made of honeycomb paper core. In fact, the honeycomb paper core is already very mature in the industry and has national standards, so only the quality is required. There is no problem with the quantity, and there is no price fraud. It is not considered a bad door, but it is difficult for everyone to accept psychologically. We can only blame the merchants for insisting on adding a solid wood title to the composite door, and some merchants even do so. Directly fooling consumers that composite solid wood doors are solid wood doors.

In fact, composite solid wood doors have good performance and low cost. Good quality composite solid wood doors are very cost-effective, so they are quite popular in the market.

Solid wood door core

The door core of the solid wood door is made of solid wood, but The texture of the solid wood door may not be the core texture, but may also be veneer. This can be observed through the door\’s cross-section structure.

The price of solid wood doors has a lot to do with the wood used in the door core. High-end wood will look good even if it is directly painted with light color paint, and the marketing intensity of the merchants will be very good. The solid wood properties of wooden doors will say that wooden doors are original wooden doors or pure solid wood doors, which actually means the same thing.

There is another concept that needs to be clarified about solid wood doors. Qing refers to finger-jointed solid wood doors. The door core of this type of solid wood door uses the finger-jointed board process. The so-called finger-jointed board means that a whole board is made up of many small boards, and many finger-jointed textures can be seen on the surface. . This type of door will be decorated with wood veneer, and the price is lower than that of solid wood doors. Solid wood door companies will think that finger-jointed board doors are composite solid wood doors, and finger-jointed board wooden doors may promote themselves as solid wood doors.

The wooden doors produced by different companies have different splicing details. Different materials may be used in different locations to save costs, especially solid wood composite wood. There are a lot of tricks here, and the average consumer can only understand them through the cut-off samples of wooden doors. It is recommended to look for products with good reputation or professional reviews.

Wooden door surface technology

Having talked about the door core, let’s talk about the surface technology. Today\’s surface technology is very powerful, and door cores made of different materials can be made very similar in appearance. For example, if you look at a painted door, can you tell what kind of door core it is?

Commonly used wooden door surface techniques include: paint-free process (paint-free door), wood veneer + paint, baking paint

Paint-free door: on the door panel A layer of film is pressed on the surface. PVC plastic film is commonly used. It can be made into various patterns and colors, but because it is plastic, its texture is easy to distinguish. Processing is cheap.

Painted door: Painting is a process of multi-layer primer and multi-layer paint-free and high-temperature baking. Commonly used ones include automotive paint process and Piano paint process, high-end paint will have a metallic luster in appearance, and the processing price is more expensive, but it will cover up the original beauty of some high-end wood.

Painted door: Compared with baking paint, the spray painting process is simple and cheap.

Generally, doors with veneer or high-end wood are often varnished, because it can reflect the wood texture and give it a natural beauty. If the wood has defects or needs a specific color, it will be painted.

Explanation of door accessories

Wooden doors and their common accessories: door frames, door leaves, door locks, door covers, hinges, door suckers, and sealing strips
