Types of wooden doors

The types of wooden doors in terms of the method of manufacture are divided into two parts:

1. The piston door: two panels of wood representing the face of the door, and are empty in the middle, and intermittent strips of wood are installed along the door to strengthen it, and these spaces keep the door from curving because it allows it to expand and shrink freely depending on the thermal variables. Because of its weak composition, it is usually not installed for external doors, but is used for internal doors. It also has the advantage of easy cleaning and maintenance.

2. Padding door: It is a clear wood, without spaces between its parts, so it is more rigid than the piston door, and therefore it is often used for external doors. Their manifestations vary from door to door, and their parts are often grouped by the "interlock" method without the use of nails. One of its drawbacks is the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning, and may show voids as a result of the collection of its parts in a wrong way.

One of the finest doors is made of beach pine wood or what is known as dear wood extracted from pine trees, and this type is characterized by high percentage of oils, which reduces its impact on various weather factors, and does not expand in winter as happens with most types of wood that contain high percentages of water, so the beach pine is used in the manufacture of ships for its high quality, and its hypothetical age is longer, and is not affected by water by 80%, and yet its price is lower

The above never means that the rest of the species is bad, for example moski wood, although it is the least expensive species, but the demand for it is large and the door may become durable if it is beautified by cells and wrapped in an external crust that gives it strength against different factors, although this raises its price a little, and there Many types of packaging crusts, including white and red urdu crust, beech peels, oak, mahogany and root crust, whether apple, olive or lemon roots, as well as chick's eye crust, snake skin, These peels are used not only to cover doors made of moski wood, but also with MDF padding doors
