Today, the use of substitutes for natural materials as building elements is very popular. These products include MDF doors. Below are the features of these door blocks that distinguish them from the usual ones.
The basis of MDF doors is a frame, which is hidden by pressed paper - laminated fiberboard. Thanks to special technology, door blocks can be of various sizes, types and types. The paneled doors are also based on the frame, which is hidden by dense panels. Such correct doors are made on machines in woodworking shops. A specialist always has the opportunity to make his own adjustments to the design of the door and its size.
Let's compare doors according to different parameters.
1. Fortress. Paneled doors entirely consist of solid wooden slats, which are much stronger than MDF. They are harder to break. Thus, where there is a need to protect the doorway, it is better not to install MDF.
2. Strength. Paneled doors are more resistant to deformation under the influence of physical activity, changes in temperature and humidity. It is preferable to install them in damp areas such as bathrooms. It is also better to make an entrance door block with a panel.
3. Ease. MDF doors are much lighter as they are composed of pressed paper. These door blocks are better suited to special plasterboard structures, as they will not cause deformation of the structure.
4. Repair and maintenance. MDF doors from the manufacturer are prone to physical damage, unlike paneled ones. They cannot be planed as this could damage the thin layer of the laminate. For care, painting is applied. For paneled doors from the manufacturer, filing, planing and trimming are used.
5. Cost. MDF door blocks are cheaper, since they use only a frame from all kinds of wooden elements. The paneled doors are entirely made of solid wood, so it will be difficult to save money here.
6. Individuality. Are a standard stamping product. Paneled doors can be ordered by choosing the appropriate design, decor and wood. This option is often used as an entrance street door in order to somehow differ from neighbors. Thus, MDF is an excellent option for interior doors. Paneled structures will be excellent entrance and street doors.
