Toilet door buying guide
Bathroom and toilet doors are different from other interior doors. Due to the relatedness of the internal environment of these two places, it is important to use a door that can withstand moisture well. As you probably know, humidity is the killer of wooden products and over time it causes many problems for them, such as swelling and growth of fungus on the surface of the wood. This is where ABS doors with high resistance to moisture and water can come in handy.
Here we will review the waterproof doors for the bathroom and provide you with useful information. If the options you use in your home bathroom are rotting, this will be the best guide to choose the most suitable doors with a long lifespan.
What is a waterproof door exactly and what are its features?
The waterproof door is one of the types of doors used inside the houses, which has a different appearance and structure than other doors. These doors have a special coating that protects the wood against moisture and water. Due to the fact that the protrusions and recesses provide a good place for the growth of bacteria and fungi, waterproof doors usually have a simpler design and appearance than other interior doors. This just means a narrower selection, but there is still a good variety to choose from.
If you have seen waterproof doors, they often lack any special ridges and have a more uniform appearance, unlike interior doors for bedrooms. But the structure of waterproof doors is different from each other and they are not all alike. A series of them use the Russian wood coil with finger joint structure. But the next category has a more unique structure. In this category, wood shavings and pieces of wood are used, which makes the worries of cutting down trees less and makes them long lasting doors.
Why should you use a waterproof door for the bathroom and toilet?
Toilets and bathrooms have fallen victim to the shrinking of the size of homes. Many builders prefer to allocate more space to the living room, and for this reason, we see the smaller size of the bathroom and toilet. This incident caused the door of the toilet and bathroom to be more exposed to moisture and wetting. In these two places, if a derby is used that does not have a good resistance to moisture, it will rot over time, a bump will be created on its surface, and it can become a suitable place for the growth of mushrooms.
Wood is ideal food for wood-eating fungi and insects. Different conditions such as temperature and humidity can affect this. The use of chemical and alkaline detergents in the toilet and bathroom is also a very effective factor for door rot. For this reason, bathroom and toilet doors are highly susceptible to rotting in the long run.
How to maintain the toilet door correctly
Many people are careless about the maintenance of their toilet door. This causes the door to rot and become a place for the accumulation of all kinds of fungi and bacteria after some time of use. This not only spoils the appearance of the door, but can also threaten the health of you and your family members. Toilet and bathroom doors, whether ABS or Polywood, do not have unlimited resistance to moisture and water; Therefore, if they are not maintained properly, there will still be a possibility of rotting in them. Although the strength of plywood doors is much higher than ABS models.
One of the points that can be a good penetration hole for moisture and water into the door is the handle installation location. To prevent this from happening, the door handle must be properly installed by a professional installer and the surrounding area must be well covered with special waterproof adhesives. Constant washing of doors is their main killer. Many people, thinking that a waterproof door will never get damaged or rot, wash it repeatedly. A defect in a point of the waterproof coating of the door may pave the way for water to penetrate into the door structure.
