Interior Door Wood Finishes
Paint, Laminate and Wood Veneers
The most important factor in the longevity of wood doors is the finish. If the stain or paint is of a high quality and applied in a dust free environment, adherence to the wood surface is maximized. It can then be expected that the finished wood surface will not deteriorate significantly over time (especially indoors). And since the eye is always drawn to imperfections, you want to make sure that the finish does its job well and protects your wood doors.
Laminate (CPL) finishes have the advantage of being more resistant to scratching, denting and UV and heat exposure. Laminate coated doors are doors that have pre-finished non-wood layer fused to the door core. The end result is strong, long lasting wood door look-alike with no drawbacks.
Real Wood Veneers are the flagship of Door Finishes. A wide variety of wood types and grains are available and they are generally Clear Coated to bring out the natural beauty of the particular type of Wood.
