7. What ifluences doors look?
Wooden elements are painted with transparent varnishes or dyed. Transarent varnished that change color but preserve wood structure and jars are also commonly used and ofcourse regular paints which hide wooden structure. Wooden elements can also be lined with veneer as well as HDF, semi-dense MDFand fiberboard. These boards have bigger density then raw wood which makes them more resistant to scraching, hulling, cracking. Advantage of MDF boards is in easier mechanical working. There are 2 types of MDF boards: with flat smooth surface and wood pattern imitating surface.
Finishinggs for MDF boards:
painted, natural veneer or fornire
Natural veneer and fornire and pieces of quality wood which could be painted with transparent varnishes or other other varnish to prevent surface from sratching and for better care. UV hardened varnish is also used which has very good anti-sractch anit-chemical and anti-light protection.
Artificial veneer fso called CPL laminated (often imitated flooer panels or kitchen table tops, ) or HL laminate (resistant to extreme weights).
Artificial veneers are very good with imitating the wood structure and it's colors.
frGrooving - it is done on the board before veneer lining or after veneer lining (then the grooves are painted with paint in contrast color from the one on the veneer). Instead of groving oftenly colored strips are used instead.

Door Construction
Paneled or frame door wing is a contruction based on the frame mostly from glued wood, PVC profile or aluminum. Wood , glass and wood imitasting panels are place in the grooves or cuts of the frame. Door frames can ve very original in the design specialy carved or engraved to ensure stylish and unique look.
Boarded door wing - here the wooden frame is from boath sided plated with HDF, MDF or plywood boards. It could also be single board from glued wood. Because of simple construction boarded doors are the most economical solution.
Paneled/boarded door wing has invisible wooden construction like the boarded door, but thanks to extrusions on fibreboard very often it imitates construction like on boarded wing. Similarly like in the boarded door ving construction the stabilising filling can be made of carton so called "honeycomb" or chipboard with holes or without holes. Honecob filled door wings are much lighter, and those with the chipboard filling more rigid and sound absorbing.
