Internal doors vs external doors in old wood – construction differences

Old wooden internal and external doors are essential elements in the design of every home, having distinct roles and specific characteristics. Internal doors are designed to separate the different rooms of a home, ensuring privacy and a pleasant aesthetic appearance. External doors, on the other hand, have the purpose of protecting the entrances to buildings, ensuring safety and resistance to atmospheric agents. Both types of doors can be made from antique wood, which adds a special charm and touch of authenticity to any space.

The materials used in the construction of antique wooden doors are essential to their durability and appearance. Old wood, from species such as oak, fir or pine, is preferred for its density and strength. This type of wood has a unique structure, with knots and imperfections that give it a special character. At RATGROUP SRL we only use the best quality wood, carefully selected to ensure that every door we produce meets the highest standards.

The process of selecting old wood for doors is meticulous. Each piece of wood is inspected for quality and integrity. For example, when we created doors for a residential complex in Bihor, we chose antique wood from a trusted source, ensuring that each door stood the test of time. We use professional equipment from renowned brands such as Bosch and DeWalt to work the wood with precision.

The design differences between interior and exterior doors are obvious. Interior doors are often thinner and can have a more elaborate design with decorative details that fit the interior style of the home. In contrast, exterior doors are built to be sturdier, with a simple yet elegant design to withstand weather conditions. At RATGROUP SRL we adapt our design style to the customer’s needs, whether it is new apartments or new houses.

Thermal and acoustic insulation is another important aspect to consider. Older interior wooden doors can provide good sound insulation, but not as effective as exterior doors, which are designed to block noise and keep the interior temperature constant. We use advanced insulation techniques in our designs to ensure that each door meets the needs of our customers.

The weather resistance of old wooden external doors is crucial to their durability. External doors must be treated with special products that protect them from humidity, UV rays and temperature variations. We at RATGROUP SRL use high quality adhesives such as UZIN and Wakol to guarantee a perfect hold and long-term protection.

The finishing and maintenance techniques of antique wooden doors are essential to preserving their original appearance. Finishes can include paints, oils or waxes, each with their own benefits. For example, in a residential project in Austria we used oil-based finishes for the doors, which allowed the wood to breathe and retain its natural structure.

The aesthetic impact of old wooden doors inside a home is remarkable. These doors add a sense of warmth and authenticity, transforming any space into a welcoming place. In a recent project for a new apartment in Bihor, antique wooden doors were central elements in the interior design, helping to create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere.

Old wooden doors can be considered elements of cultural heritage, having a rich history and invaluable aesthetic value. Not only do they enrich the look of a home, but they also tell a story of traditional craftsmanship and respect for nature. We at RATGROUP SRL are proud to contribute, through our work, to the preservation of these traditions.

The advantages deriving from the use of recycled wood in the construction of doors are many. In addition to the environmental benefits, recycled wood often has a unique patina that cannot be replicated. This makes it ideal for customers looking to add a distinctive element to their home. In a recent project, we used recycled wood to create bespoke doors for a modern residential complex, combining tradition and innovation.

The costs associated with older versus modern wooden doors can vary significantly. Although the initial price of antique wood doors may be higher due to the laborious selection and manufacturing process, the investment proves profitable in the long run due to its superior durability and aesthetics. At RATGROUP SRL we offer customized solutions that adapt to each customer’s budget.

Sustainability and ecology in the use of old wood are essential aspects of our business. We are committed to using only wood from sustainable sources and promoting the recycling of materials. This not only helps protect the environment, but also contributes to the creation of unique products that tell a story.
