 I recently moved into a new home, however after only two months, my bathroom door began to swell due to moisture. What is the best way to prevent it from getting worst? Many suggest I change to a PVC door, but I don't want it because it feels and looks cheap. Is there such a thing as a waterproof wooden door that does not swell or rot?

QUOTE(kem96 @ Sep 26 2023, 01:30 PM) Use this kind of aluminum door for bathroom. Will last longer and more sturdy compared to pvc or plywood door. Usually, the toilet plywood door will get swollen if not painted at the bottom of the door. You can try to put your phone camera under the door to see if it is painted or not.  I do not like this kind of door because the center is frosted glass, which the light can passthrough. And yes, the bottom part of the door is not painted.

QUOTE(amduser @ Sep 27 2023, 12:11 AM) If you want to waterproof your door you need to take out your door, completely cover your door with paint except the door knob, then apply 3 layer of polyurethane paint on the entire door except the door knob This is the most cost effective but time consuming way of your don't want to change the door the polyurethane can provide hard film to resist scratches, and waterproof your door once it is cured even if it is a cheap door Should've done this, but it's too late now.
