Common Materials For Wood Doors
High quality doors that last several centuries is typically been made from doors
made with real wood. There are a few more options now in the way these woods
have been manipulated, but wood is still the basic building block of a high
quality door. All of the current forms of wood that can be used for building
interior and exterior wood doors can be categorized as either softwood,
hardwood, or composite wood.
Softwoods and Doors
Softwoods are woods that come from trees that tend to be green all year.
Softwoods require quite a bit of care and are not always durable. They often
dent and scratch easily. They do not have the beautiful grains that you will
often find in other forms of wood. However, the softwoods are typically much
less expensive for use in the construction of wood furniture.
Pine is one of the most popular softwoods you will come across for the
construction of doors and furniture. Pine used for doors usually costs a bit
more than pine used in building construction, as building construction pine
tends to have a lot of blemishes. It is also very hard to finish and paint. The
lowest grade pine is one of the chief materials used for building crates and
unfinished industrial shelving.
Door and furniture grade pine and other softwoods is usually referred to as
appearance lumber as it has less of the blemishes found in the lumber that is
sorted out for building and crate construction. This lumber costs more because
it has been hand-picked. Additionally, after being hand-picked it is milled to
make sure it has an elegant pattern on all sides.
Hardwoods and Doors
Hardwoods are woods that come from trees that tend to change forms during the
seasons of the year. Hardwoods are not necessarily hard woods. Balsa wood, for
example, is an extremely light and soft wood that falls in the category of
hardwoods.
Hardwoods tend to be relatively expensive. They are both beautiful in their
grains and in the way they accept finishes and paints. They may also have their
own varieties of beautiful natural grain coloring. Hardwood furniture is the
highest quality furniture in terms of both its beauty and its durability.
Hardwoods that are used in doors and furniture also tend to resist warping.
Mahogany, cherry, maple, walnut, and oak are some examples of popular hardwoods
used in the construction of furniture and interior wood doors.
