Choosing the Perfect Wood for Your New Exterior Door
Your entrance door is more than just an entry point – it’s a statement of style and durability. When it comes to selecting the ideal wood for your new door, several factors come into play. Let’s delve into them together, and we’ll guide you with expert advice on choosing the type of wood that best suits you and your property if you’re unsure.
Aesthetics: Do you prefer the natural allure of wood or the versatility of a painted finish? Durability: Will your door be shielded from the elements or directly exposed? Budget and Maintenance: Balancing cost-effectiveness with long-term upkeep.
Sapele
A versatile hardwood renowned for its strength and resilience. With characteristics akin to Mahogany, Sapele offers an affordable yet robust option for your solid wood door needs. Its adaptable nature allows for staining or painting, offering a spectrum of finishes to suit your aesthetic preferences.
Oak
European Oak stands out for its unparalleled durability and timeless beauty. Exhibiting a rich golden hue and consistent grain, Oak doors exude elegance and strength. While commonly finished for aesthetics, Oak can also be stained for customised effects. Keep in mind, regular maintenance is essential to preserve its natural allure, as exposure to UV rays may cause it to silver over time.
Accoya
For those prioritising durability, an Accoya exterior door is an exceptional option. Engineered through acetylation, Accoya wood boasts resistance to rot and elemental damage, ensuring longevity for decades to come. This modified timber offers improved stability and sustainability, making it an environmentally conscious choice. Additionally, Accoya’s enhanced coating properties simplify maintenance, providing a hassle-free solution for your exterior door needs.
Abodo
Abodo offers another modified wood alternative. Abodo wood undergoes a transformative modification process, bolstering its innate strength and resilience against the elements. This modified timber boasts exceptional stability and durability, ensuring longevity for your door while minimising environmental impact. With its exquisite finish and commitment to eco-friendly practices, Abodo modified wood offers a sophisticated solution for homeowners prioritising both aesthetics and sustainability.
