Wooden doors, whether internal or external, are crafted to balance functionality with aesthetic appeal. Their manufacture begins with selecting durable, high-quality timber like oak, sapele, or pine. The wood is joinery quality to prevent warping and shrinking. Precise cutting and joining methods, such as dowel or mortise and tenon joints, ensure strength and stability. Internal doors often feature solid or veneered wood panels for a refined finish, while external doors are built thicker and may include weather-resistant treatments, seals, and double-glazing for energy efficiency. Finishing touches include sanding, staining, or painting to enhance the door’s appearance and longevity.
Repairing wooden doors depends on their type and the damage incurred. Internal doors may suffer from scratches, loose joints, or surface wear, typically resolved with wood filler, sanding, and refinishing. External doors often face harsher conditions, leading to rot, peeling paint, or swelling. Damaged sections can be replaced with matching timber, and hinges or seals may be adjusted to restore fit and function. Reapplying protective finishes or weatherproof coatings ensures long-term durability. With proper care, wooden doors can retain their beauty and utility for years.
