2025-03-19

I. Clarify Requirements and Style

  Before purchasing custom-made doors, one must first clarify their home style and usage requirements. Different home styles are suitable for different types of custom-made doors. For instance, a modern minimalist home style is suitable for painted finish custom-made doors or glass custom-made doors, while an European classical style is more suitable for solid wood custom-made doors or those with carved decorations. Additionally, one should consider the usage function of the door, such as whether it needs sound insulation, heat preservation, fire resistance, etc., and whether it needs to increase storage space, etc.

II. Select Appropriate Materials and Craftsmanship

  The materials and craftsmanship of custom-made doors are the key factors affecting their quality and service life. Commonly used materials for custom-made doors include solid wood, solid wood composite, painted finish, and glass.
  Solid wood custom-made doors: Have a natural texture and beautiful grain, but are expensive and require regular maintenance.
  Solid wood composite custom-made doors: Have a high cost-performance ratio and good stability, suitable for most families.
  Painted finish custom-made doors: Have a smooth and bright surface, are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, suitable for modern minimalist styles.
  Glass custom-made doors: Have a strong sense of transparency and a fashionable appearance, suitable for small-sized rooms or spaces with insufficient lighting.
  When choosing materials, one should consider their budget and home style comprehensively, and also pay attention to the details of the craftsmanship, such as whether the door joints are tight and the surface treatment is smooth.

III. Examine Brands and Services

  Selecting a brand with a good reputation and a professional service team is crucial to ensuring the quality and service of custom-made doors. One can learn about the brand's reputation and product quality through online searches, friend recommendations, etc. At the same time, one should examine the enterprise's after-sales service, including measurement, installation, and after-sales maintenance. A professional custom-made door enterprise will provide one-stop services, from on-site measurement, design solutions to installation and commissioning, to make consumers worry-free and effortless.

IV. Installation and Maintenance

  Installation and maintenance are important links in the use of custom-made doors. During the installation process, one should ensure the professionalism of the installation personnel, check whether the dimensions of the door match the design drawings, and avoid deformation or inconvenience due to improper installation. After installation, one should pay attention to daily maintenance, such as using wood maintenance oil for regular maintenance of solid wood doors, avoiding the use of corrosive cleaning agents for painted finish and glass doors.

V. Pay Attention to Environmental Protection and Health

  With the enhancement of environmental awareness, consumers' requirements for the environmental protection of home products are also increasing. When choosing custom-made doors, it is recommended to prioritize materials that meet environmental protection standards, such as wood panels without formaldehyde release or wood that has undergone environmental protection treatment. Large brands usually conduct strict environmental protection treatment on materials to ensure that the formaldehyde release meets national standards.

VI. Budget Planning

  The price of custom-made doors varies depending on materials, craftsmanship, and brand. When purchasing, one should make reasonable planning based on their budget. For example, if the budget is limited, one can choose solid wood composite doors or painted finish doors with good cost-performance ratio; if one pursues high-end texture, one can choose solid wood doors or custom-made doors with special craftsmanship.
