What advantages do wood-plastic doors have over traditional wooden doors?

In modern home decoration, wood-plastic doors, as a new type of environmentally friendly material door, are gradually gaining favor among consumers. Compared with traditional Wooden Doors, wood-plastic doors not only have significant advantages in performance, but also perform well in terms of environmental protection, durability and maintenance. The following will compare wood-plastic doors and traditional wooden doors from multiple aspects to help you better understand the advantages of wood-plastic doors.

First, material and environmental friendliness
(1) Wood-plastic doors
The main material of wood-plastic doors is a mixture of ultrafine wood powder and high-molecular resin. This material does not use glue for bonding during the production process, so it will not produce harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia. It is a new type of green and environmentally friendly material. The production of wood-plastic doors not only reduces the demand for natural wood but also makes use of waste wood and plastic, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development.
(2) Traditional wooden doors
Traditional wooden doors are usually made of solid wood or wood composite materials. Although solid wood doors have natural grain and texture, glue and other chemical substances may be used in their production process, leading to the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde. In addition, the production of solid wood doors requires a large amount of natural wood resources.

Sixth, fire prevention and safety
(1) Wood-plastic doors
Wood-plastic doors have excellent flame-retardant properties. The wood-plastic suite door does not support combustion when exposed to open flames and will automatically extinguish after being removed from the fire. After testing, the fire resistance performance grade of the wood-plastic door is B1 level.
(2) Traditional wooden doors
The fire resistance of traditional wooden doors is relatively weak and requires additional fireproof treatment.

Seventh, sound insulation and heat preservation performance
(1) Wood-plastic doors
The materials used in wood-plastic doors feature uniform and fine cell structures as well as specially designed cavity structures, ensuring their excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing performance.
(2) Traditional wooden doors
The sound insulation and heat preservation performance of traditional wooden doors is relatively weak, and additional materials are needed for treatment.

Eighth, installation and convenience
(1) Wood-plastic doors
The wood-plastic door adopts a quick-installation structure, making installation extremely convenient. The door casing wire is connected to the door casing through a clamp, without the need for gun nails or adhesive fixation, making the installation time-saving and labor-saving.
(2) Traditional wooden doors
The installation of traditional wooden doors is relatively complicated and requires professional tools and personnel to operate.

Ninth, Summary
As a new type of environmentally friendly material door, wood-plastic doors have significant advantages. It not only performs well in terms of environmental friendliness, durability, moisture resistance, fire resistance, sound insulation and heat preservation, but also has obvious advantages in maintenance and installation convenience. Although wood-plastic doors may be slightly inferior to traditional wooden doors in appearance, their diverse surface treatment techniques can meet the needs of different decoration styles.
