Recently, a variety of materials have been used to produce interior doors. This is natural wood, and laminate, and veneer, and plastic and even special cellular paper. Of course, in terms of strength and operational characteristics, nothing can compete with natural wood. However, this is the most expensive material. Another thing is the veneered doors. Keeping the beauty of this natural material, they differ in a much more democratic price.
What is such a design? As a rule, this is a frame made of an array of wood and MDF sheets (this plate is durable and a high degree of environmental safety). And from above, this design is faced with veneer – that is, thin sheets of natural wood.
Usually they are covered with special varnish. It not only gives the surface a unique shine, but also performs a protective function, preventing the penetration of moisture inside the door leaf. However, this coating acts in the opposite direction. In a room with a reduced humidity level, it will not let the door dry out.
Veneered doors, like any others, have a number of features. First of all, like structures made of natural wood, they are quite sensitive to humidity. Nevertheless, they can be installed in the kitchen or bathroom, provided that water will not constantly get on them.
The advantages of veneered doors include their strength and durability. They do not crack and do not relax. In addition, their coating can always be changed. The advantages of such doors should also include their high degree of environmental safety and relatively low cost. There is only one drawback of these doors – if direct sunlight constantly falls on them, then the coating can darken over time.
