Solid doors require no special introduction. Solid doors have been around since time immemorial and still as popular. As the name suggests, solid doors are wholly made of solid wood with no wood fillings, veneers etc. Solid doors can be made with hardwood or softwood. The door strength is primarily dependent on the strength of the wood used. It is the most resilient, robust and long lasting among all the wooden door types. Wood has good vibration damping capacity (as it is a viscoelastic material) and sound deadening capacity. Due to the above properties, solid doors are an excellent choice where privacy and safety is desired, as in bedrooms and front doors. High strength can be attributed to the material continuity throughout the door. But, it also results in increased mass of the door. However, this disadvantage is offset by its robustness and long life. Also, as they are made of solid wood, these doors can be easily repaired by sanding, planning, painting with no worry about damaging the integrity of the door. Obviously, due to maximum usage of wood material, its cost is on the higher side. These doors give you maximum safety from intruders. These doors can also be heavily customized with a wide range and depth of vibrant designs.
