Hi. I am plannin to replace all my doors and am lookin for reasonable door supplier & installer.

Also, aside from the foldable doors, is there any other type of doors I can use for bathroom? Don't really fancy those foldable types....

u can have bi-fold toilet door, plywood flush door, solid wooden door, pvc folding, frosted tempered glass door, aluminium sliding door etc....

any supplier to recommend?

get in google and type onitek..
heard from toher forums their quite good..
but me myslef neva tried it..
me have no bugdet right now

which type?

hey, jus wanna check hav any of you guys heard of mixed wood door (or is usin 'em)? are they ok? compared to mdf/hdf door, would mixed wood be better? or worse?

so many conflicting opinion.

so now i know there are
1) mixed wood
2) mdf/hdf
3) solid wood (out of the question, too expensive)
4) moulded door

which is the better of the above (minus 3)?
confused!!??

If you want to replace your main door I recommend to replace with security door.

"Mixed wood" door? The common term use for "mixed wood" door mean, its solid door but the grade of the door category usually will be grade c, d, e and in some instance is grade f. The species of the wood will be from all different type of trees. Solid door not necessary expensive, it depend on the grade and type of wood species as well as the size as well as pattern and whether it come with tempered glass, that u are looking for. Those nyatoh cunteh grade A or merbatu wood naturally will be expensive, while those light solid door like meranti will be relatively cheap, in some cases some greedy hardware shop will sell you solid door make from "palet" wood which is less RM100 per door, this type of wood will only last you one year and later it will disintegrate by itself due to the lousy material. You get what you pay.

for bathroom, what type of material should we choose apart from the wood? Wooden door is not durable if the door is near to the shower area?

bi-fold door is sufficient enough for your shower room

If your shower room is big and happen to have dry n wet area then wooden door will look nice. Otherwise, a upvc toilet door will do. There are others option, those 10mm frosted glass toilet door will look really classy. Or if you are on budget then a bi-fold toilet door or those al-cheapo pvc folding door sell by hardware shop will be enough. Extra caution when u use a bi-fold toilet door especially for children, happened before a few cases, the small children fingers get snap in the middle by the door accidentally when they like to play with the door, keep on open and close it.

good info there u have tohsan!

Tmpang tanya.... Anyone replace condo security door before?Any vendor recommendation?
I google and ask that e price is about RM900 exclude installation and painting.....but i not sure does condo management allow us to change the fire proof security door...

yes, mixed wood door = solid wood, but of diff grading. worried that due to the lousy material, it will vry quickly crack (expand & contract at diff rate for diff wood).

think i will stick to moulded door instead.

Added on September 13, 2010, 9:08 pmim not sure if laminated MDF is a good choice, but u may consider. its similiar to laminated floor u hav at home/office. as long as u don't "soak" in water, its fine......

laminated mdf door will peel off by its own over the time... say about more than 5 years..... not for hdf floor board coz it produce using high density technology (dunno what they call).

finally decided on moulded door. gonna get it installed tmr. lets c if 5 years frm now if there is any complains, esp for d toilets

how much does the moulded door cost?

anyone here experience with metal security door? many local company distributed with china made door

i bought two. pretty good but the doors were the more expensive versions. insulated, fire proof, keys can be deleted from door. still was cheaper than good wooden door + safe grill if you buy, make sure the finishing is good, the door handles can be replaced and if possible the locking mechanism too. good powdercoating is an added plus.
