A door is not just an entry point—it protects your home, adds style and ensures privacy. But not all wooden doors last long. Some swell, crack or get damaged within a few years. What makes a wooden door strong and durable? The secret lies in the science of wood selection, processing and finishing.
In this blog, we’ll explain how the right wood, treatment and design ensure long-lasting wooden doors.
1. Choosing the Right Wood for Durability
The type of wood used in doors plays a major role in durability. The two main categories are:
✅ Hardwood (e.g., Teak, Oak, Mahogany) – Strong, dense and naturally resistant to moisture and termites.
✅ Softwood (e.g., Pine, Cedar) – Lightweight and affordable but needs extra treatment for durability.
At Kavish Doors, we use high-quality hardwood and pinewood to ensure strength and longevity.
2. Moisture Control: Why Seasoning is Important
Wood contains natural moisture, which can cause swelling, shrinking or cracking if not treated properly. That’s why seasoning is an essential process:
✔️ Kiln Drying – Reduces excess moisture to make the wood stable.
✔️ Air Drying – Naturally dries the wood for better strength.
Well-seasoned wood prevents door warping, swelling and cracking due to weather changes.
3. Protective Coatings for Extra Strength
To increase the life of a wooden door, protective coatings are applied. These include:
🛡️ Laminates & Veneers – Protect against scratches and water damage.
🛡️ Waterproof Sealants – Prevent moisture absorption.
🛡️ Anti-Termite Treatment – Keeps termites away for years.
Our laminated doors are designed to handle humidity, heat and dust, making them perfect for Indian weather.
4. The Role of Thickness in Door Strength
Door thickness plays a crucial role in durability, soundproofing and security.
🔹 Standard doors: 30mm-35mm thick (Common for homes).
🔹 Heavy-duty doors: 40mm+ thick (For commercial & security use).
Our Laminated Grooving Doors & Safety Doors come in various thickness options to suit different needs.
5. Why Manufacturing Process Matters
A well-made door lasts longer. At Kavish Doors, we follow a high-tech manufacturing process to ensure durability:
🛠️ Precise Cutting & Shaping – Ensures a perfect fit.
🛠️ Strong Joints & Bonding – No weak points or gaps.
🛠️ Quality Control Checks – Every door is tested before delivery.
This ensures our doors last for decades with minimal maintenance.
6. Proper Installation & Maintenance
Even the best door won’t last long if installed poorly. Professional installation ensures:
✔️ Correct alignment – Prevents gaps and uneven movement.
✔️ Strong hinges & fittings – Supports heavy doors.
✔️ Smooth opening & closing – No creaking or jamming.
Easy maintenance tips:
✅ Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust.
✅ Use a mild cleaner for stains.
✅ Avoid direct water exposure for wooden doors.
✅ Oil the hinges yearly for smooth movement.
