There are many options when it comes to selecting interior doors for your house or place of business: hardwood veneers, solid materials, hollow flush laminates, uPVC, oak, MDF, new or refurbished, plain or molded, and the list goes on. However, oak doors are the most common, particularly in homes but now making an appearance in offices.
Why then are internal oak doors so common? To give you all the reasons would require a list almost as long as the number of doors you have available, but here are a few to get you going.
Durability
The strength and longevity of a high-quality oak door more than offset whatever money you could save by choosing a less durable option. Internal oak doors should be viewed as an investment because they are made to last.
Aesthetics
Everything from tables and chairs to desks and bookcases looks great with internal oak doors. Any wood, but especially oak, used in household furnishings provides a home with a feeling of coziness and naturalness, making any property seem more friendly.
Acoustics
When solid oak doors are closed, they serve as a sound barrier and significantly lessen outside noise. They give a benefit to homes located on streets with high foot or vehicle traffic, which is one of the reasons they are growing in popularity in modern offices.
Insulation
Oak is special because it is both a very dense substance that is great for retaining heat in the winter and a fibrous substance that allows extra heat to dissipate in the summer. Oak serves as a natural insulator, improving the energy efficiency of your home and resulting in cost savings.
Money well spent
Speaking of financial savings, internal oak doors are a fantastic deal for the majority of homes and ensure a solid, high-quality interior door that, with proper maintenance, can last you a lifetime.
