Well finished solid wood doors give a classic look for homes and also adds a traditional feel to the property. In recent times most of the people have been opting to fit Composite doors instead of traditional wooden ones.

If you are confused between composite and real wood doors, You’re at the right place. Our Vevij Doors team sells and installs doors made from all the most popular materials; natural wood and composites. Wooden doors are beautiful and offer many benefits but modern composite doors offer many benefits as well. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s learn the difference between these two which will help you to decide the type of door to choose for your interiors.

1. Cost & Maintenance

The initial cost of a solid wood door is relatively less than that of a composite door. However the cost of ongoing maintenance is likely to be more.

Solid wooden doors are harder to clean and also require ongoing maintenance to be kept in the best condition. Wooden doors are more susceptible to ageing and the elements, and failing to address these problems can lead to the door peeling, warping, swelling or becoming disfigured.

So, if you are not that kind of person who likes the idea of regular maintenance, a composite door is the right choice for you.

2. Life Expectancy

Life expectancy of solid wood doors varies depending on the weather conditions and the type of wood they are made of. However, they are expected to last upwards of 30 years if properly maintained. On the other hand, Composite Doors are expected to last more than 35 years, with yearly oiling of the hinges and other moving parts recommended for best performance and longevity.

3. Insulation

In terms of thermal and noise insulation, both wooden and composite doors excel. However, the Composite Door will retain its insulative properties over time a traditional Solid Wood Door can lose them without proper maintenance.

4. Security

When it comes to security, Both Composite and Solid Wood Doors rank well. They are hard to kick in and if fitted with the right locks, can be impenetrable without equipment. However, a Wooden Door will become much less secure if it begins to swell or warp as a result of poor maintenance and general weathering;

5. Choice of Styles

Both Composite and Solid Wood Doors are available in almost any colour.  Many Composite Door suppliers (including ourselves!) offer the added option of wood grain texture and finishing effects on Composite Doors.

When it comes to repainting the door, Solid Wood Doors should be repainted every 2-5 years, allowing homeowners to easily change the colour of their door if they want to. Repainting a Composite Door can prove much more difficult, due to the material of the door we recommend it is done professionally and only with high-quality paint.
