Wood is a gift to us from the heavens. From making fire to making whole houses. Wood never ceases to amaze us. Wood as a construction material has no alternative.

1. Why Wooden
Doors Have
Survived Till Now

2. Introduction
Wooden doors have been used in
our residential and commercial
buildings for centuries now. From
the very earliest settlements of
humans in various civilizations and
geographical locations wood was
used as the primary means of door
materials. May it be internal doors
or external doors. Wood was
considered the best choice. In this
presentation we will inform you
about the most basic reasons why
wood has been able to survive till
now.

3. Abundant Supply
The most important
reason why wood was
used as the main material
for a door was the reason
that it was amply
available. Very little
process was needed to
shape the piece of wood
to become a useful
functional main wooden
door of the house.

4. Variety
The second most
important reason is that
wood was available in
many variations. Types of
different wood were not
restricted to color or
durability only. The
texture and the aroma of
the wood was also
considered in the past.

5. Cost-Effective
Wooden doors are
extremely cost effective.
However, there is no limit
to the luxury it can obtain
when processed in that
manner. Wood remained
the most accessible and
economic door material
and this is the reason all
social classes used this
material for their interior
and exterior doors alike.

6. Creativity
Wood can be carved
easily, it can adjust other
materials like glass and
metal in itself easily. Even
before the 17th Century
the doors were carved
into beautiful pieces of art
and people would just be
amazed to witness them.

7. Low-Maintenance
Another reason why
wood has been able to
survive till now is that it
can be fused easily with
other materials to
enhance the features of
creativity and durability
combined. Use of glass or
metal can lower the
maintenance of the
wooden doors and keep
them strong for decades.

8. First Impression Wood Masters

its parent company, Woodcraft

Molding (WDM) after immigrating

ventured out on his own.
