We can all agree that bathrooms are one of the most important parts of a house because a good bathroom door can enhance your privacy. Therefore, installing the best bathroom door should be a priority for homeowners to improve their quality of living. 

Witnessing your bathroom door crumble down due to continuous and prolonged exposure to water can be extremely frustrating.

This article from the makers of the best bathroom doors in India explains how using the best quality bathroom doors can rid you of a source of constant frustration.

How Important Is Choosing the Best Bathroom Door for Your Home?

Whether you’re planning a new bathroom or renovating an existing one, choosing the right door is one of the key elements to ensure.

The door you select needs to provide the necessary privacy, but it also needs to complement the overall design of the space. 

There are many types of doors on the market, but not all are suitable for bathrooms. While a standard interior door might be fine for most rooms in your home, the bathroom is a special case. 

Because of the high humidity level in bathrooms, choosing a door that can withstand moisture is important.

We’d like to address one obvious question: why not use the good old wooden or metal door?

What Are the Disadvantages of Using Wooden Doors for the Bathroom?

Interior doors are typically made from wood, which is not ideal for bathrooms. Wood is susceptible to warping and other damage from moisture, so it’s not the best choice for a bathroom door.

A metal bathroom door is prone to corrosion as it’s constantly exposed to water. Metal doors also tend to corrode faster in coastal areas due to the high salt content in the air.

Instead, you should look for a door made from a material that can withstand humidity.

Now that we know wood and metal are not ideal choices for bathroom doors, let’s see what AK Plywood, one of the best plywood companies in India, and the makers of the best quality bathroom doors, have to offer.

What Materials Make the Best Bathroom Door?

The following is a list of materials that are ideal for making your bathroom door.

1. Wooden Plastic Composite (WPC) Doors

These are bestsellers in ready-to-fix door applications. In addition to meeting industry standards, they are also tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients and the local climate. The thickness of the doors ranges from 25mm–45mm.

In essence, WPC is a composite material that combines the qualities of wood with the ease of working of plastic. Unlike natural wood, WPC is split-resistant and splinter free and, consequently, lasts longer. It’s more resistant to weather, water, and heat than natural wood.

2. Fibre Reinforced Plastic-Coated (FRP) Doors

Fibre Reinforced Plastic is a composite material composed of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. Pine wooden flush doors with FRP coating on both sides are used in the manufacture of these doors. The thickness of the doors ranges from 25mm–45mm.

They are strong, well-finished, and well-textured. Additionally, they’re water-proof, termite-proof, and fire-resistant, which makes them an ideal choice for interior applications like bathroom doors.

3. Resin-Coated Doors

These dual-side-coated doors are ideal for bathrooms and wet areas as they’re made with specially selected vacuum pressure-treated (VPT) timber with high water-resistant properties.

A phenol-based resin coating is applied on one or both sides and cured at high temperatures. In addition, they use 100% borer-resistant, vacuum pressure-treated finger-jointed frames that make them sturdy and durable.

4. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Moulded Doors

These PVC doors are membrane pressed. They have a unique seven-ply construction (double core) and are made from the highest quality PVC foil. 

To ensure good bonding, the CNC router ensures the vacuum membrane press maintains both positive and negative pressure.

The doors are available in a variety of shades and designs. In addition, they can be fitted with glass panels.
