Wooden doors, what you need to know
The design of houses and environments should also take into account the problems which, in the long run, can undermine the structural stability and aesthetic performance of the various components. When it comes to wooden doors, for example, one of the most common problems concerns the contrast to the harmful effects of water. Thanks to modern and efficient solutions, however, even this problem can be easily overcome.
How water can damage doors
Water can damage the door by attacking numerous components. These are complications that concern not only exterior doors, but also those installed in rooms, offices and hotel corridors. The first to damage the doors, perhaps inadvertently, can be ourselves: when washing floors, for example, the use of chemicals and detergents dissolved in water can damage the sections of the door in direct contact with the floor. All of this happens because the water is left in contact with the wood for an extended period. This is a problem that afflicts both domestic environments but, above all, those in which washing cycles are repeated constantly, such as offices and environments where there is a large influx of public.
The components of the door not coated effectively, such as the frame and the architraves, after a short time will begin to show stains, halos and detachments of the veneer. All this leads to problems not only from an aesthetic point of view, which are annoying, but also to possible structural damage, which can undermine the integrity and functioning of the door itself.
The water resistant doors of Porte Italiane
Porte Italiane presents innovative remedies that allow you to eliminate the problems of wooden doors related to water damage. In fact, our company offers a complete solution, in which the frame and architraves are covered with waterproof and therefore water-resistant material. In this way, the deterioration of the jambs is prevented, and with it the possible occurrence of structural and aesthetic damage.
However, the technologically advanced solutions of water resistant doors do not end there: the door frame is made of a special wood fiber called HDF. It is a light, flexible component, generally made up of processing waste and uniform from a chromatic point of view. HDF panels are especially appreciated for their water-repellent properties, which make them ideal for installation on doors. The frame of the water resistant doors is made up of wood and three millimeter HDF layers, capable of offering high resistance against humidity even in the long term.
In addition to the frame, the architraves and trims are also made of waterproof HDF, precisely to avoid some of the most widespread problems, such as the infiltration of water due to the continuous washing of floors with detergents with aggressive chemical substances. Furthermore, the rubber gaskets guarantee additional and lasting protection.
Technology that leaves room for aesthetics
The presence of HDF panels and other technologically advanced solutions for contrasting water go hand in hand with aesthetic pleasure. The wooden doors offered by Porte Italiane, in fact, are available in various colors and materials, from wengé to bleached oak, without forgetting the cherry shades. Furthermore, the customization possibilities are numerous, both as regards the direction of operation (with opening to the right or left), and for details such as the handles, available both in brass and in aluminium.
