No other doors contribute to the aesthetic part of the equation more than those fashioned in wood. The warmth, beauty and color of wood doors have made them a choice of designers of buildings ranging from housing to commercial structures to institutional and religious buildings. They also offer an opportunity to create a unique look and feel. Because wood is a natural product, it is ever-changing. No two wood doors ever look alike.
Wood also offers an opportunity to address environmental concerns.
Its unique position among materials used in door construction as a renewable resource tends to make it the most environmentally friendly. Closely tied to this issue is the issue of economics. Domestic hardwoods, for example, are more readily available than imported veneers. Common species usually provide greater cost efficiency and are more readily available. They also provide advantages in manufacture.
