Qianchuan Wooden Doors explains the selection and installation precautions of wooden doors

　　First point to note: Choosing the style of wooden doors too hastily

　　We often talk about the "facade"; you should know that the choice of door is the facade of your home and should not be taken lightly. When choosing wooden doors, besides quality, you also need to consider the door's function, style, and whether its color coordinates harmoniously with the room's decor.

　　For bedroom doors, the most important considerations are privacy and creating a warm atmosphere, so doors that are solid and have low translucency are often used; study room doors should be chosen for good sound insulation, good translucency, and strong design sense, creating a classic and elegant scholarly ambiance; kitchen doors should be waterproof and well-sealed to effectively block cooking fumes, such as semi-translucent half-glass doors; bathroom doors mainly focus on privacy and waterproofing, and besides using uniquely crafted solid wood doors, stylish fully frosted half-glass doors can also be chosen.

　　On the other hand, the color of wooden doors is closely related to the colors of walls, floors, and furniture soft furnishings. Lu, Deputy General Manager of Qianchuan Wooden Doors, suggests that if you are not very confident, you only need to make the door color close to the "big environment," whether it is the floor, furniture, or decorations, and then differentiate in details to ensure no mistakes; another key point is that the wooden door, wall, and floor should preferably be in the same color family, but the colors should not be exactly the same, maintaining overall consistency with some differences in details to prevent the floor and wall from blending indistinctly and weakening the sense of space in the room.

　　Second point to note: Determining material solely by cross-section

　　If you have purchased wooden doors, you must have had this experience: when entering a wooden door store, the sales staff not only introduce the features of the door itself but also show the cross-section of the door to customers. Professionals from Qianchuan Wooden Doors explain that relying solely on the cross-section to buy wooden doors is unreliable because once the product is finished, customers cannot split the door to check. Often, the actual wood used is much less than what the cross-section shows. A door priced at over a thousand yuan might actually be made of materials worth only six or seven hundred yuan. Sometimes, doors sold as solid wood have fillings made of honeycomb paper or construction waste materials (such as bamboo plywood or laminated plywood). Another obvious problem is that locally made doors are labeled as Guangdong or Beijing doors. "There are specialized processing points locally that can make any door, then stick on out-of-town labels. Some merchants lure consumers with the guise of out-of-town doors and use the reputation to charge exorbitant prices!"

　　Zhang, Quality and Technology Manager at Qianchuan Wooden Doors, says that besides comparing prices from multiple sellers, it is best to buy products from reputable and capable brands. Some merchants cover the entire door, including the bottom, with paint to hide the material, making it impossible to distinguish from the outside. However, legitimate sellers do not paint the top and bottom of the door solidly. Ordinary solid wood veneer doors cost at least a thousand yuan including freight. If a door claims to be solid wood but sells for five or six hundred yuan, you should be cautious.

　　Third point to note: Improper measurement of wooden doors leads to installation failure

　　Currently, the wooden door industry lacks excellent installers, so installation problems caused by improper measurement are common. Wu, Manager of Qianchuan Wooden Doors After-sales Service, explains that when measuring doors, several factors must be noted. First is the door width; since walls are often not straight, measure the width at the bottom, middle, and top, and take the narrowest value. Then measure the thickness of the door frame similarly at the bottom, middle, and top, taking the largest value. If you make a mistake or only measure one place, a 1 cm error can make installation impossible, sometimes requiring wall demolition to fit the door.

　　It is best for consumers to be present during measurement to observe how many times the measurer measures and records data. Once the door size is measured, do not make any changes near the door wall, such as tiling. If changes are necessary, you must inform and negotiate a solution within 24 hours after the measurer leaves.
