Installing doors from a solid array is an expensive process. Is it worth it to overpay for such a purchase or can you find an excellent analogue from another material. Which will decorate the interior and at the same time not ruin the budget? Here we consider the pros and cons of solid doors, as well as the criteria that you should pay attention to when buying a door.
Differences of doors from solid wood and from other materials
The main value in such a product is the species of wood itself, but the presence of designer accessories, decorative inserts plays a role:
- High-quality fittings, although it is not cheap, but provides additional noise isolation. But if it comes to installing several at once, you get a large amount. By the way, doors with high-quality fittings can be found in budget stores;
- Moisture resistance is one of the weaknesses of solid wood doors. Despite the apparent fundamental nature, this option is clearly not suitable for bathtubs or rooms with a high level of humidity. Over time, the door warps and may simply stop closing. For those who want to not have a hassle. We recommend glass doors or collet doors with eco-veneer;
- Durability is an undoubted advantage of products from the forest. They can be repainted at any time, they are extremely resistant to mechanical damage (with proper care). However, natural wood veneer doors also last a long time, but at the same time cost several times less. The key role in the lifetime is played by the manufacturer and the technologies by which the product was made;
- Environmental friendliness is an integral quality of the forest as a material. However, other wood products are also not inferior in this, if the manufacturer did not violate the production technology.
A good analogue of a solid wood door for any purpose would be a product coated with veneer of precious woods. It is in no way inferior in soundproof and heat-insulating quality.
Veneered doors with decorative elements, inserts look expensive and beautiful, and they will cost much less than the elite counterpart. In favor of veneered doors, there are also reviews of the owners, who were convinced of the practically greater wear resistance of such a design than that of a massive door.
