The Best of Both Worlds For centuries, wood has been the material of choice for luxury and warmth. However, it comes with limitations—warping, rotting, termites, and security vulnerabilities. **Wood Finish Steel Doors** bridge this gap, offering the robust security of steel with the visual elegance of timber.

How is it Made? (Sublimation Process) The realistic wood look isn't just a sticker; it's a permanent bond created through **sublimation technology**: 1. **Base Coat:** The galvanized steel door is powder-coated with a base color. 2. **Wood Grain Transfer:** A film properly patterned with wood grain is wrapped around the door. 3. **Heat Curing:** exposure to high temperatures causes the ink to turn into gas and penetrate the powder coating layer. 4. **Result:** A permanent, durable finish that looks and feels like wood but won't peel or scratch easily.

Design Versatility FueGuard offers over **20+ wood patterns**, including:

  • Teak: Classic, rich, and dark.
  • Oak: Light, modern, and Scandinavian.
  • Walnut: Deep, sophisticated, and luxurious.
  • Mahogany: Reddish-brown, traditional elegance.

These finishes allow you to match your door to your interior furniture or flooring perfectly.

Security Features Hidden Within Behind the beautiful exterior lies a fortress:

  • Multi-point Locking Systems: Secures the door at multiple points along the frame.
  • Honey-comb/Rockwool Core: Provides structural rigidity and sound insulation.
  • Anti-crowbar Frame: Designed to prevent forced entry tools from gaining leverage.

FAQ

Q: Will the wood finish fade in the sun? A: High-quality sublimation finishes are UV resistant. However, like any exterior surface, prolonged direct exposure to harsh sunlight over decades may cause slight fading. Adding a small canopy or overhang is recommended for any front door.

Q: Does it sound metallic when knocked? A: Not necessarily. The high-density infill (honeycomb or mineral wool) dampens the sound, giving it a solid "thud" similar to a heavy wooden door, rather than a hollow metallic "clang."
