Buying a wooden door is not just about style or price. It’s about quality—and quality starts with the wood. Many brands claim they sell seasoned wood doors, but in reality, most of them don’t. The shocking truth? Unseasoned wood might look fine at first but can ruin your door over time.
🔍 What Is Seasoned Wood and Why Does It Matter?
Seasoned wood is wood that has been dried to remove excess moisture. Fresh wood can contain up to 50% moisture which makes it unstable. When exposed to rain, sunlight or temperature changes, unseasoned wood swells, bends or cracks.
But when wood is properly seasoned, it becomes:
- Stronger 💪
- More stable 🔒
- Long-lasting 🕰️
- Resistant to rain 🌧️ and insects 🐛
🧪 What Is a Door Wood Moisture Test?
The easiest way to check if the wood is truly seasoned is to test its moisture content. A wood moisture meter is used to test the percentage of water inside the wood.
👉 Ideal moisture content for seasoned wood doors: 8% to 12%
👉 Moisture above 20% means the wood is not properly seasoned
Most brands don’t test this—or they hide it from the customer.
🔥 What Is Kiln-Dried Wood?
At Kavish Doors, we never take shortcuts. We use kiln drying—a special method where wood is dried in a controlled hot-air oven called a kiln.
This gives you benefits like:
- Uniform drying ☀️
- No cracks or gaps
- Better bonding of laminate or polish
- Zero chance of termite or fungus
Kiln dried wood is far superior to air-dried wood.
🧑🔬 How We Do the Wood Seasoning Process at Kavish Doors
Our wood goes through a multi-step seasoning and treatment process:
- Moisture Test – Wood is tested before use
- Kiln Drying – Moisture is reduced to 8–10%
- Anti-termite Chemical Treatment – To protect from bugs
- Storage in Controlled Conditions – No moisture reabsorption
- Final Check Before Use – To ensure complete seasoning
This process ensures the best door material—strong, durable and reliable.
🤔 How Other Brands Fool You
Most cheap brands either:
- Use unseasoned wood (because it’s cheaper)
- Claim it’s seasoned but don’t test it
- Skip the kiln drying process
- Use untreated wood just painted to look good
The result? Doors that swell, crack or rot within months.
