Indian Wooden Door Design

Building a new house is a great responsibility. Choosing a wooden door over a metal one is a hard choice to make. Wooden ones come in an array of styles and types. Choosing the best quality one is a choice that can make or break a new home's appearance.

Locate one of the local hardware stores for a large selection. These stores have the doors in different types of wood and sizes. It is important to know the measurement of it making a purchase. They staff in these stores are usually very knowledgeable. If you don't find anything in your price point, there is always the local Habitat for Humanity store. Donated appliances and hardware items are offered at this store at discounted prices. The selection is limited to what is donated, so you might not find everything that you need. Another great place to find inexpensive wooden doors is the unfinished wood store. All types of wooden item are available at this store. You have the option of choosing the type of stain needed.

After deciding where to purchase, now it's time to decide on the type of door needed. A solid door or a hollow core door is what you have to choose from. The hollow core doors are made of fiberboards and are less expensive than solid doors. These doors are very light weight. Solid wood doors are made of mahogany, oak or pine. They cost more than hollow core doors. The solid doors are very attractive. Wooden doors can have panels and be embellished with decorations.

After getting the door installed, the homeowner should know that wooden doors are susceptible to the weather. The door may contract and expand after it is put in place. This may cause the homeowner to call for a repairman. If this is taken into account before instillation, it should not be a problem.

Wooden types are used in other parts of the house. There are wooden ones on closets, patios, and bathroom, pantry's and interior doorways. Most houses have some many wooden ones that you don't even think about it. The door to your bedroom is probably made of wood.

Some homeowner may opt to get a metal door. This is another option. Most metal doors are more expensive than solid wooden ones. It is a matter of preference. There is not proof that one is sturdier than the other. A solid wooden door can keep the elements just as well as a wooden door.

When building a new home, you are building a place where memories are made. Hopefully a new home will be a place that will be passed down from generation to generation. The character of the house can be changed with a beautiful oak door. On the inside the quality of the wooden doors is just as important. A sturdy closet door can stand up to the wear and tear throughout the years. So choosing a quality wooden door can be a great investment that can last a lifetime.

Not many people are aware that India produces some of the best wooden furniture of the world. In fact, the country has a long and colorful history as far as wooden furniture is concerned. While furniture manufactured in India has garnered appreciation from almost all parts of the world, rarely do we come across anybody who is aware of the tradition and history of Indian furniture.

Wooden furniture making has been practiced in India since 1336 AD. It was actually the empires and the kings from southern India that patronized the craft. Century-old wooden articles bear testimony to that. The workers were held in high esteem by the royalty because the craft of carving wood was considered more of an art and trade and India has a history of patronizing art and artisans. As a result, wooden furniture and wooden crafts can be found anywhere in India. Besides the standard and conventional furniture items, wooden doors, walls, posts etc. can be found even in the remotest corner of the country, not to mention of the modern buildings and ancient temples and architecture that bear testimony to the craftsmanship.
