Ninety percent of people buying wooden doors fall into these common misconceptions!

What kind of wooden door is worth buying? How should a good wooden door be purchased? Buying a door is a challenge for many people. Actually, buying a door is not difficult as long as you avoid falling into these common misconceptions, life can have a little more joy.

Misconception one: "The heavier the door, the better." It is obviously unscientific to measure the quality of a wooden door by its weight. Some very low-quality wooden doors add a lot of glue and particleboard, making them even heavier than solid wood doors, just to create a false impression of quality based on weight.

Additionally, differences in door size, thickness, and core filling material also cause variations in the weight of wooden doors. Therefore, comparing weight is not the most reasonable basis for judgment.

Misconception two: "Cheap doors are good doors." The saying "you get what you pay for" usually holds true. When selecting wooden doors, we often choose based on appearance. Because we cannot see the internal structure of the door, it is best not to select wooden doors based on low price.

Suppose a good door sells for 4000 yuan and can be used for ten years. A cheap door sells for only 1000 yuan but won't last even a year. Which door would you choose?

Misconception three: "Absolutely no color difference allowed." Color differences in wooden doors cannot be completely avoided. For example, the same style of paint-free door may have slight color variations due to different production batches of the surface materials, which may cause the color seen in the store to differ slightly from that installed at home.

Differences in paint quality and color mixing each time can also cause slight color deviations, so consumers should not excessively pursue wooden doors with no color difference.

Misconception four: "Only focus on the door panel, not the door frame." When choosing wooden doors, consumers often only pay attention to the quality of the door panel. However, many after-sales problems with wooden doors actually come from the door frame.

Currently, there are three types of door frames on the market: solid wood multi-layer board door frames, MDF door frames, and solid wood door frames. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so when choosing, you should not only care about the door panel and ignore the choice of the door frame.
