Look for these 5 things before purchasing a door

Making a door purchase isn’t easy, from looking for the right manufacturer to deciding from the huge range available these days in the market, purchasing the right door can be quite a hectic process. Hence, we are here to help. This blog will cover the 5 most important things that you should consider before making a purchase.

1. Look for the perfect fit:

These days a lot of different types of doors are available in the market, listed below are the 3 major categories of doors:

-        Flush Doors: These are all-purpose plain surface doors, they can be used as interiors as well as exterior doors. Century Doors offers 3 types of flush doors i.e Club Prime Doors, Bond Doors and SAINIK Doors.

-        Panel Moulded Doors: Panel moulded doors are aesthetically better looking doors than flush doors, these doors are divided into 2 panels, 3 panel oval or 4 panels and are usually used for interior purposes. Melamine, Metallic, Plain Surface and White Primered Doors are panel moulded varieties from Century Doors.

-        Decorative Doors: Decorative doors from the house of Century Doors are the doors with the finest finish and designs, these doors are covered with decorative materials such as veneers and laminates which give them a beautiful look. Century Laminated Doors, Century Veneered Doors and SAINIK Laminated Doors are the three types of doors under this category

2. Go for a trusted manufacturer:

When purchasing doors, one should always go for a trusted manufacturer. Century Ply was established in 1982, we believe in solving customer issues with constant innovation without compromising on the quality. Our range of doors from Century Doors are also integrated with technologies such as swell proof, slam proof and are even resistant to the attack of termites and borers, read more about these technologies below.

3. Latest technologies:

We at Century Ply are always innovating as per the problems faced by our customers, we conduct a thorough market research and develop technologies that can help a lot in the longer run. Our latest advancements include:

-        Slam Proof: We have developed doors that don’t produce the sound of thud even if they slam, we worked on this technology keeping in mind those who are weak-hearted.

-        Swell Proof: This is a USP that has helped a lot of customers in the long run, swell proof technology prevents the doors from swelling since they have a good moisture retaining tendency. Swell proof doors last long and require minimal to no maintenance over the years.

-        Termite and Borer Resistant: We all know wood is prone to the attack of termites and borers, if a door is attacked by termite it has to be replaced completely. Thus we made sure that our doors can resist the attack of termites and borers effectively.

4. Conduct a quality check:

After deciding the manufacturer and the product make sure that you conduct a thorough inspection, check each and every aspect, here are a few tests that you can conduct before making the final decision:

-        Knock test: Knock on the face of the door and check for the hollowness in the core if any, if there is a change in sound when knocked then it indicates the presence of hollowness.

-         Check for the number of cores in the door: Doors are available in single, double and even triple core, it is suggested to go for at least a double core door.

-        Authenticate your purchase: Check for official stamps, when buying ready-made doors make sure that you don’t purchase loose products available and look out for any red flags while making the final payment. 

5. Ask for discounts/offers:

Here’s a secret, if you are making an offline purchase, always ask for discounts, we human beings are so scared of the word “NO” that we often don’t even ask for offers/discounts. Even if you are making an online purchase, look out for official website banners, or try calling the customer service and ask them for ongoing offers. This will help you save a few bucks easily.

Conclusion:

Keep these points in mind while purchasing your next door, research a little in detail about the latest products, look out for the best technologies offered and most importantly - ask for discounts!
