How to Choose the Right Door Material for Home Office? Steel, Aluminum or Solid Wood

Key factors for material selection

1. Usage scenario: For exterior main entry doors (home/office), steel and aluminum alloy are preferred, with strong outdoor weather resistance; solid wood is suitable for interior doors, avoiding direct outdoor exposure.
2. Security demand: If you focus on anti-theft performance, choose cold-rolled steel security doors with reinforced frame and anti-pry hardware; aluminum alloy doors can be upgraded with thickened profiles and stainless steel screen for secondary security.
3. Maintenance cost: Steel doors need regular anti-rust maintenance, aluminum alloy doors are basically maintenance-free, and solid wood doors need high-frequency moisture and anti-cracking care, with the highest maintenance cost.
4. Aesthetic matching: Steel doors can be customized with color and metal decoration to fit modern styles; aluminum alloy doors are light and simple, suitable for minimalist and industrial styles; solid wood doors fit classical and high-end decoration styles.
