Wooden doors are decoration materials that every household uses, but there are so many types of wooden doors, which has caused trouble for many people. Today we will take a look at how to choose wooden doors.
(I): The door core of wooden doors
The most common wooden doors on the market are generally divided into three types. This is what we often hear about solid wood door , solid wood composite door and molded doors. The most used solid wood composite door is actually the most used in the market.
①. We need to briefly understand three different wooden doors.
solid wood doors, also called log doors, , and are the highest grade. The inner core is spliced into a door core from logs. Solid wood is also selected in the frames, door covers and other parts, and there is no other filling material.
Solid wood composite doors actually use solid wood as the keel frame, fill in the middle with long or short strips or strips, then paste wooden veneer or paper scrub on both sides, and finally make borders and door frames through solid wood.
molded plate is the lowest-grade wooden door, and the material of the door core is a density plate. Generally speaking, it is made of ground wood or plant fibers into powder and heated and pressed.
②. When choosing, you must first distinguish which material the door core is
. If the budget is relatively sufficient, it is recommended to choose solid wood doors. If the budget is average, then choose solid wood composite doors.
solid wood composite doors should also distinguish the door core. Try to choose ecological board , rather than density board .
If you choose a solid wood composite door, the core material that everyone focuses on is its inner core, because the core material of a solid wood composite door is the biggest difference. It is recommended to use solid wood as the filling.
(II): Look at the surface of the wooden door
In fact, the so-called surface of the wooden door is the treatment of the surface layer of the wooden door. To put it bluntly, it is what we often call the paint on our surface. There are still many common wooden door surface treatment methods on the market now.
①, paint-free door
paint-free door is a common wooden door on the market. The commonly used method is to use PVC film , which specifically means to pass a layer of PVC plastic film through high temperature and high pressure, then press it on the surface of the board, and finally form a layer of painted mask.
paint-free door is the most cost-effective door on the market, and paint-free doors have many styles and textures. Like the solid wood composite doors purchased by most families, they are basically paint-free doors.
②, paint door
paint door is another relatively high-end wooden door. For example, the surface treatment process of solid wood composite doors is paint. Because the paint needs to be painted with primer and topcoat, and the paint surfaces of each layer need to be polished. Finally, the method of baking and shaping in a dust-free room is adopted, so the process of paint doors is relatively complicated.
Therefore, compared with paint-free doors, the price is much higher. The painted door gives people the feeling that the metallic luster is better, but the production cycle of the painted door is relatively longer.
(III): Look at the accessories of wooden doors
Another aspect of the quality of wooden doors is the accessories of wooden doors. And the accessories of wooden doors are very important. For example, the accessories of wooden doors mainly include door sleeves, locks, hinges, door suction and sealing strips. For these, we also need to learn to buy them to avoid buying good doors but with very poor wooden door accessories.
①. The door cover should be matched with the wooden door
The door cover is an extension of the door frame. A good door cover can play a very good decorative role. Moreover, good door frames also have a good protective effect on the quality of our wooden doors. Try to choose one that matches the wooden door. For example, if you buy a solid wood door, it is recommended that you choose solid wood door covers. If it is solid wood composite, it is also recommended that you choose solid wood composite door covers.
②, locks and hinges should also be correctly selected as locks like wooden doors. The first choice is the most commonly used mechanical lock . But now there is another kind of silent lock, and another type is the magnetic lock. For example, you should consider installing a silent lock in the bedroom, which is indeed very good. For locks, everyone must pay attention to the feel. If the feel is good, the quality will be good.
For hinges, it is actually a very critical accessory for ensuring the quality of wooden doors. Therefore, you must not be greedy for the hinge. It is recommended that you can buy imported hinges, try to buy imported ones. For example, if the thickness of high-quality stainless steel lotus leaves can reach 3mm, then their quality will basically be very good.
③, door suction and sealing strips
The other accessories of wooden doors are door suction and sealing strips. Like door suction, it is installed at the back of the door and is essential for fixed doors to be used. What needs to be noted here is that door suction is divided into wall suction and ground suction. It is recommended that when choosing door suction, if the wall allows, try to use the wall to install it, which is strong and durable, and try not to install it on the ground.
While choosing wooden doors, we should also pay attention to relevant accessories. Such as door sleeves, locks, hinges, seal strips, door suction, etc. The wooden door we chose to buy was a wooden door containing all accessories. In this way, you can basically choose a wooden door with better quality.
