Avoid falling for wooden door tricks, Qianchuan Wooden Door offers five tips
In modern home decoration, wooden doors are obviously an indispensable important component. Currently, there is a wide variety of wooden doors on the market, dazzling in variety. Some consumers even suffer from "choice difficulty syndrome," not knowing how to choose. Below, Qianchuan Wooden Doors teaches you a few tips for selecting home decoration wooden doors.
The main materials for home decoration wooden doors on the market currently include solid wood doors, solid wood composite doors, paint-free doors, and plywood membrane-pressed hollow doors. Although doors made of various materials may look similar on the surface, their essence is vastly different.
Solid wood doors are made from natural logs and processed through a series of procedures. Because high-quality wood is used, their sound insulation and anti-corrosion effects are excellent, so their cost is very high. Solid wood composite doors combine solid wood with other materials; their door frames use fir or pine, the surface base material is particleboard, and the surface is covered with precious solid wood veneer. They are characterized by being relatively light, not easy to deform, and available in various styles, making them a cost-effective type of wooden door.
Paint-free doors use low-grade wood for the door frame and are covered with PVC film on the surface, so they are inexpensive. Hollow doors have solid wood door frames, but the door panels are hollow inside, so their sound insulation and tactile feel are poor, and naturally, their price is the lowest.
When choosing wooden doors, try not to be tempted by low prices. If the family’s financial condition allows, consider solid wood doors as much as possible because good solid wood doors are environmentally friendly, healthy, and have a long service life.
In addition, some "solid wood doors" on the market use pine or imported filling materials as the core frame, covered with medium-density fiberboard and solid wood veneer, which are actually solid wood composite doors. When introducing products, merchants often label solid wood composite doors as solid wood doors, misleading consumers. When purchasing, consumers must carefully check the material description in the product manual to see whether it is solid wood or solid wood composite.
From the appearance quality perspective, use the back of your hand to feel the door frame, panel, and corners; there should be no scratching sensation, and the texture should be soft and delicate. Then stand at the side of the door facing the light and check that the paint surface on the door panel is smooth without bumps or waves, and the color is even and natural. The door leaf and door frame should be symmetrical, without deformation, and properly fitted. Standing half a meter away, check the seams and small parts like the frame for any poor joints.
You can also check the door frame because most problems with wooden doors mainly come from the door frame. The essence of the problem is that merchants do not necessarily use the same material for the door frame and door leaf; a solid wood door leaf does not mean the door frame is solid wood. If a solid wood door uses medium-density fiberboard for the frame, since it contains no wood fibers, it easily swells when wet, causing the door frame to deform. Therefore, always remember to inquire about the material of the door frame.
Paint, as a later processing craft of wooden doors, also directly affects the door’s appearance and healthiness. If the door is good but the paint is poor, the door is still a low-quality product. First, check whether the paint is full and even. High-quality wooden door paint is full, smooth, rich, and natural; the paint film is transparent, and the texture of the surface material is clear and vivid, showing the physical characteristics of the appearance at a glance.
In recent years, with the rise of environmental protection awareness, when mentioning furniture wooden doors, most people first think of environmental friendliness. Indeed, we pursue a better life and a comfortable home environment, but the premise must be environmental protection.
Harmful substances from wooden doors mainly come from artificial wood-based panels and paint coatings. When purchasing wooden doors, you should understand that the environmental indicators are formaldehyde emission ≤1.5mg/L, soluble lead ≤90mg/kg, soluble cadmium ≤75mg/kg, and soluble chromium ≤60mg/kg. First, open a sealed door or smell the wooden door closely; if there is a pungent odor or you feel eye dryness, tearing, or sneezing, it indicates a high formaldehyde emission from the door.
Hinges, handles, locks, and door stoppers should all be high-quality hardware accessories, operating smoothly and noiselessly. For example, hinges connect the wooden door and door frame; good hinges have corrosion resistance and good transmission performance, ensuring even force on the hinge leaves and preventing damage from the door’s own weight.

Doors must emphasize functionality, just like clothes primarily serve to cover and keep warm, and only then to be beautiful and fashionable (except for celebrities, of course). The functionality of doors is reflected in durability, ease of use, tightness, and various door types meeting different practical needs, such as bathroom doors, wardrobe doors, partition doors, sliding doors, folding doors, and even pet doors.
Generally, living room and bedroom doors choose full solid wood doors with higher safety performance, thick and sturdy overall, mostly using double-leaf or hinged doors. Kitchens and bathrooms can choose sliding or folding doors. Storage rooms can choose louvered wooden doors with better ventilation.
The color of wooden doors should harmonize with the room; the door color should contrast with the wall color and match the floor color; the door color should be close to the furniture color; and the door should be consistent with the room style. For homes decorated in European style, it is best to choose European or similar minimalist style wooden doors, as this combination better highlights the beauty and unity of the home.
