If I renovate again, I swear I will never buy these 6 types of bedroom doors. I’m not picking on them, but I’ve had enough.

Friends, when decorating a house, they all want to choose a good-looking, practical and Durable wooden door, right?

This wooden door market is quite deep. If you are not careful, you may spend money but not buy a good door.

Let me tell you how to buy wooden doors Ask, how to choose, so that the shopping guide will not dare to look down on you, and maybe even think you are a colleague!

1. Do not choose door panels with a thickness less than 4.5 centimeters

The thickness of the door panel is particularly important if the door knot is not strong and the sound insulation is good. I advise everyone to choose a thickness of 4.5 centimeters or more!

Some merchants will advise you, saying 3- 4 centimeters is enough, don’t believe it!

Door panels above 4.5 centimeters are more stable and will not shake easily during daily opening and closing or collisions. A thicker door panel has better sound insulation effect.

If your home is close to the road or corridor and the sound insulation is poor, there will be some noise outside but you can hear it clearly in the house. How annoying!

I have a friend who bought 4 cm thick He could hear people walking or talking in the community at night, so he had to replace the door, which was a lot of trouble and money.

2. Not selectedThe internal material is filled with honeycomb paper

The internal material of the door is very particular. If the merchant recommends honeycomb paper filling, don’t ask for it!

This kind of material is light and the door will wear out soon after use. Easy to deform and not tightly closed.

Select Choose solid wood keels or pry dynamic panels for filling, and the filling amount should reach more than 80%.

Solid wood keel is like the \”skeleton\” of the door , strong, the more padding, the more stable the door will be.

Just like a person, his body is strong only if his bones are strong. The door must have a solid solid wood keel to withstand use.

I have seen doors made by small workshops before. It looks the same on the outside, but when you cut it open, you can see that it\’s all filled with honeycomb paper, and the quality is obviously not good.

Big brand regular door, solid wood keel fully filled , the contrast is obvious.

So, when choosing a door, you must ask what is inside What material is it made of? Is it filled enough?

3. If you don’t choose, you will be charged arbitrarily

Generally speaking, the width of the door is less than 88 Centimeters, if the height is less than 2.2 meters, merchants should not add money.

But some unscrupulous merchants will not contact you in advance Make it clear, when it is about to be installed, it suddenly asks for extra money, how irritating!

So when buying a door, be sure to follow The merchant confirms it and writes it in the contract to avoid wrangling later.

For example, the size of your door opening is within the standard range, and the merchant installs If Shi Fei wants to add money, he will have nothing to say if you take the contract. If you do this well, you can avoid many consumption traps.

4. Not selecting enough3 mm hinge

There is also a hinge, although it is small, it is very useful.

Some double hinges have a western-style appearance, which many people like, but their load-bearing capacity is not as good as that of casement hinges.

The door in your home opens and closes many times a day. If it\’s a hingeThe load-bearing capacity is not good enough, so the door sags down after a while, and you have to lift it up to close the door. Trouble!

So, choose 3 mm thick flat opening Just the hinges are enough, they are stable and can last for many years.

I changed the door before, I don’t understand, I pretend I had a coupler hinge, but it started to go wrong within a few months. After I replaced it with a flat hinge, it still has no problems. You can tell the difference as soon as you try it.

5. Uncheck Unsealed top and bottom

Don’t be sloppy with the door panel paint, you have to choose six-sided sealant paint.

If the top and bottom are not sealed with paint, the water vapor splashed by mopping the floor and the water molecules in the air will penetrate into the door panel. Over time, the door panel will easily deform and bulge, and it will not be closed tightly, which will affect the appearance. And affect the use

Like the south, the air humidity is high, if The door was not sealed and it deformed quickly due to moisture

6. Do not select density boardDoor covers and silicone seals

Door covers and sealing strips are easy for businesses to tamper with.

The door cover should be made of solid wood double cover made of the same material as the door, plus a PU sealing strip.

Density board covers are cheaper, but are easily deformed, are not environmentally friendly, and will release formaldehyde, endangering the health of your family.

Silicone seal It works fine at first, but after a while it cracks, hardens and turns yellow. Not only is it unsightly, but it also affects the sealing of the door, causing air leakage in winter and mosquitoes entering in summer.

Solid wood double-cladding with PU sealing strips is different. It is beautiful and durable, has good sealing performance, and can make your home warmer.

In order to save money when renovating my cousin\’s house, she chose density board cladding and silicone sealing strips. Within two years, the cladding deformed and the sealing strips became unreadable, so she had to re-install it. Changing is expensive and troublesome

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the bottom of the door cover must be covered with transparent anti-mold glass glue.

This place is most easily ignored, if not dealt with OK, mold, bulging, deformation, and cracking will occur later.

Especially in places with heavy moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens, if there is no glass glue, the moisture will seep in and the cover will be broken quickly.

Don’t underestimate this piece of glass glue, it doesn’t cost much, but it can save you a lot of worry.

Buying a wooden door is a meticulous job and cannot be careless at all. , do more homework, ask more questions, and choose based on these points, you will definitely be able to choose a good door that you are satisfied with and make your home warmer and more comfortable.
