Wood-effect interior doors

Solid timber doors cost several times more, need upkeep and cope badly with swings in humidity. A wood-textured film gives the same look with none of those problems — which is why almost everyone who set out to buy "wooden doors" ends up here.

Oak is the largest group. Chateau oak is a mid warm tone and the most versatile. Pasadena oak is lighter, with a greyish undertone. Nemo latte oak is a soft beige. Nemo silver oak is a cool grey oak for contemporary interiors. Port oak and Glasgow eco oak are darker, with pronounced grain.

Dark woods. Southern wenge and embossed southern wenge are the classic dark timber, the second with a tangible relief.

Softwood and rustic. Provence pine is pale, with characteristic knots. Carpathian spruce is warmer and more matt. Golden rustic carries the pronounced structure of aged wood.

Why texture matters more than colour. A film embossed to follow the grain differs from a smooth one in more than touch. It catches light differently, and that is what makes the door read as wooden rather than as "an oak-coloured door". Textured finishes have a practical advantage too: small scratches barely show.

Where they are available. The widest choice of textures is in ETALON and PERFETTO, 17 colours. NOMINAL and FREZZATTI have 12, mostly oaks and wenge.

Sizes — 400–900 × 1800–2100 mm in 50 mm steps, no surcharge. More on matching wood tones — in the article "How to Match Door Colour with Flooring and Furniture".
