Veneer doors: Everything you need to know
Veneer doors bring the warmth of wood into your home, while benefiting from the sturdiness and ease of maintenance of aluminium. They are lighter than traditional doors and still have a natural look. Thanks to the wood veneer finish, you can see and feel the charm of wood, while at the same time the door is durable and easy to maintain. We show you exactly what veneer doors are, how they are made and in which rooms they look best.
These are veneer doors
A veneer door at Aluwdoors is a aluminium door which is finished on the outside with a layer of wood veneer. This is a thin layer of real oak, carefully applied to the aluminium core.
You then combine the sturdiness, durability and low maintenance of aluminium with the warm look of wood. So you get a door that is light and practical while radiating the natural atmosphere of a wooden door.
Wood veneer as basis
In the production of veneer doors, a thin layer of real oak wood is used, called wood veneer. This veneer is precisely glued to the aluminium core of the door. This creates a strong connection, leaving the natural wood grain clearly visible. The aluminium base ensures a sturdy door with a long lifespan, which is easy to assemble.
Difference from solid wood doors
Solid wood doors are made entirely of wood and are therefore often heavier in weight and more sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Veneer doors with an aluminium base do not have that disadvantage: the aluminium core provides a solid base, while the wood veneer provides the natural look. So you get the same warm look, but with more convenience and less maintenance required.
Properties of veneer doors
What sets our veneer doors apart is that they are fully custom-made. In addition, veneer doors are low-maintenance: the surface is neatly finished, which means that stains or discolouration are not easily seen. Furthermore, the doors last a long time and are suitable for both classic and modern interiors. Only occasional cleaning is required.
Applications of veneer doors
Veneer doors are suitable for all door sizes. The aluminium core is sturdy enough to support larger areas of glass or veneer. The doors not only look beautiful, but they are also suitable for all kinds of rooms in your home. You have a lot of freedom when designing veneer doors, more so than with solid wood doors. The veneer can come in two colours: Neutral and Chocolate.
In addition, veneer doors are easy to maintain. Stains or discolouration will have less chance if you clean the door regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
