Are wooden doors suitable for exterior use?
10/14/2026
Our standard wooden interior doors (40-60 mm) are engineered for conditioned interior spaces where RH stays between 30-65%. They are not recommended as fully exposed exterior entrance doors in rainy or coastal climates, where sunlight, rain and salt air will attack the finish within 1-2 years.
If you specifically want a wooden exterior door, we offer an exterior-grade build-up: teak or Accoya solid wood, two-part PU sealer, stainless steel hardware and a storm-protection overhang detail. For most residential and commercial entrances, however, we advise choosing our steel security door or thermal-break aluminium door line — they give the same aesthetic with a 10-year external warranty.
