what is the standard of choosing material for making Wooden Door

Choosing the right material for making wooden doors depends on the intended use (interior vs. exterior), desired appearance, budget, durability, and environmental factors. Below are the standard criteria and types of wood materials used in door manufacturing:

Standards for Choosing Wood Material for Doors

1. Durability & Strength

Exterior doors require hardwoods that resist weather and pests.

Interior doors can use softer or engineered woods.

2. Moisture Resistance

Crucial for bathrooms, kitchens, or humid climates.

Wood should be kiln-dried to reduce moisture content (typically 6-8%).

3. Stability

Wood should have low shrinkage and swelling properties to avoid warping.

Quarter-sawn lumber is more dimensionally stable.

4. Workability

Should be easy to machine, shape, and finish.

Affects joinery and surface treatment (polish, paint, veneer).

5. Aesthetics

Grain pattern color, and texture influence visual appeal.

Important for stained or varnished finishes.

6. Sustainability

Use of FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) or sustainably sourced wood.

Complies with environmental standards and certifications.

7. Cost & Availability

Regional wood availability and market price often dictate material choice.
