Solid wood doors are high-end consumer goods. The consumption hotspots of high-end wooden doors on the market today are concentrated in black walnut, teak, cherry, maple, and beech. Due to the high price of solid wood of these types of wood, some manufacturers choose some textures that are close to each other. The low-grade wood of China deceives consumers by pretending to be high-grade wood through dyeing and other methods. Therefore, consumers should pay special attention when choosing these types of wood. They should choose reputable and powerful processing and production brands. The moisture content can generally be controlled at about 10%, with after-sales service guarantee. And to distinguish the real and false solid wood doors, these are enough tricks:


1. Look at the price


Due to shipping and cost reasons, the price of solid wood doors with better quality is generally more than 2,000 yuan, but this is not absolute. Consumers have to keep their eyes open when they encounter the temptation of low prices.


Second, look at the weight


Since solid wood doors are made of a whole piece of wood or the same kind of wood, they are heavier than ordinary non-solid wood doors. Consumers can weigh the weight of the door before installation. However, it is worth noting that some boards made of wood chips and glue are pressed, such as particle board, and the actual weight of wooden doors made of this board is not light. In addition, due to the size and thickness of the door leaf and the difference in the door core filler, the weight of the wooden door is also different. Therefore, specific weight is not the most reasonable basis for judgment.


Three, look at the lines


The surface of pure solid wood doors is natural and smooth, while counterfeit solid wood doors often use surface stickers for finishing. Consumers can carefully observe the surface textures of wooden doors, such as splicing, uniform textures, and repetition. Most of these wooden doors are not solid wood doors in the sense.


Fourth, look at the keyhole


Due to the need to install locks, generally wooden doors need to reserve keyholes. Consumers can observe through the keyholes whether the wood inside and outside are consistent and whether there are other fillers. However, some smart manufacturers will use solid wood as the support material in the keyhole position, and consumers must learn to distinguish from many aspects when choosing.


Five, listen to the sound


Consumers can knock on various parts of the wooden door with their hands. If they find that the tone is uneven or even hollow, it is definitely not a solid wood door.
