Wooden doors are a timeless choice that bring warmth, style, and elegance to any home. But like all natural materials, wood requires proper maintenance to stay beautiful and functional for years. The way you care for your doors, as well as the finish you choose, has a direct impact on their durability.
At POL-SKONE, you can find a wide variety of wooden doors in different colours, designs, and finishes – all crafted to not only enhance your interiors but also make long-term care easier.
Everyday Cleaning and Care
Regular cleaning is the simplest and most effective way to preserve your doors. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. Avoid aggressive detergents or abrasive sponges, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
Good ventilation is equally important. Rooms with poor airflow often have excess humidity, which can negatively affect wooden structures. By ensuring proper air circulation, you protect the door against swelling, warping, or cracking.
If you opt for durable finishes like LAMISTONE CPL or SILKSTONE, you’ll benefit from increased resistance to scratches and abrasion, making them an excellent option for busy areas such as hallways, kitchens, or living rooms.
Protecting Against Moisture and Temperature Changes
Since wood naturally reacts to its environment, moisture and sudden temperature fluctuations are its biggest enemies. To ensure your doors last, keep them away from prolonged exposure to water and extreme heat.
For areas prone to high humidity – bathrooms, laundry rooms, or kitchens – laminated finishes such as LAMINATE or LAMISTONE CPL are recommended. Their protective layers shield the surface against water, steam, and household chemicals.
Keeping the Surface Fresh and Vibrant
Doors finished with ECO TOP or HIGH TOP surfaces mimic the look and feel of real wood. However, they require gentle handling and occasional treatment with protective products to prevent fading or loss of colour intensity.
Models finished with natural veneer, such as REALWOOD or SILKWOOD, need special attention. Applying oils or waxes helps nourish the surface, maintaining its natural shine and protecting it from dryness or minor scratches. These doors perform best in rooms with stable temperature and humidity levels.
Fixing Minor Damage
Even the most durable doors can develop small scratches or marks over time. Luckily, minor surface damage can often be repaired using repair kits available in hardware stores.
If durability is your priority, consider doors with CPL coatings (0.5 mm) or SILKSTONE finishes, which are designed to withstand daily wear and tear. This makes them especially suitable for offices, hotels, or other high-traffic interiors.
Choosing the Right Style and Finish
Your doors should not only be functional but also complement your home’s design. POL-SKONE offers an extensive palette of finishes, from classic wood tones to modern matt surfaces.
For contemporary interiors, UNI MAT PLUS doors are ideal, thanks to their fingerprint-resistant surface.
For affordable yet long-lasting options, LAMINATE doors provide excellent durability at a competitive price.
For bold, custom looks, painted models in BLACK MONO or any RAL/NCS colour can be tailored to your unique style.
Conclusion
Taking care of wooden doors is not complicated, but it does require consistency. Regular cleaning, protection from humidity, and the right choice of finish will significantly extend their lifespan.
Whether you choose laminated, veneered, or lacquered models, POL-SKONE doors are designed with durability and elegance in mind. By following simple maintenance tips, you’ll enjoy doors that remain beautiful, functional, and resistant to everyday challenges for many years.
