WPC Doors: Bathroom & Bedroom Door Designs, Frames, Cost and Benefits

Doors have evolved to be more than simple entry points, because a door is a lot more than appearance; it is exposed to different elements depending on where it is placed and how it will perform. From water and humidity to comfort requirements without warping or taking damage. This is why wood polymer composite doors, or WPC doors, are becoming a growing preference among homeowners. 

These doors are moisture-resistant, stable, and longevity influences the final decision. We at Greenply understand that. Our range of products, including our WPC boards, undergo rigorous testing that allows them to withstand harsh conditions with ease. In this guide, let’s dive into what WPC doors, their frames and bathroom and bedroom suitability can mean for homeowners. 

What Are WPC Doors?

WPC is made by combining wood fibres and plastic-based polymer, resulting in a smooth surface and stable structure. WPC does not expand or shrink like traditional wooden doors and can take on moisture as well. 

Key characteristics of WPC doors include:

• Moisture-resistant, making them ideal for humid and moist areas
  
• Smooth finish for laminates, paints or veneers
  
• Solid pest resistance
  
• Maintains shape during seasonal changes
  
• Does not require the same maintenance as wood 

Greenply’s Ndure WPC doors for bathroom and utility area usage are preferred because of these features. 

Application-Based Suitability 

Performance differs across the rooms. Here is how WPC performs across the spaces: 

A. WPC Doors for Bathrooms

Bathrooms are full of moisture, and wooden doors can swell and lose lamination there, but a bathroom WPC door can stand strong despite these challenges because of: 

• Non-absorbing structure
  
• No swelling or warping
  
• Pest resistance
  
• Easy to clean surfaces

WPC bathroom doors or Greenply’s Gold Doors are a reliable replacement for wooden doors in humid and moist areas. 

B. WPC Door for Bedroom Use

Bedrooms require privacy, low maintenance, and sound cushioning. Solid wood is a premium choice for sound insulation. A WPC door for the bedroom, however, provides enough privacy and a clean finish; it can be paired with laminates or veneer sheets. 

C. Kitchen or Utility Area 

Kitchens and utility zones are exposed to both heat and moisture, but WPC does not react to temperature changes. It is stable for entrances and the surrounding areas of a kitchen. 

A Comparison of WPC vs Traditional Door Materials 

WPC vs Solid Wood 

Solid sure feels premium but requires maintenance. Meanwhile, WPC offers: 

• Moisture resistant
  
• No requirement for maintenance polishing
  
• Smooth surface
  
• Better cost efficiency
  

WPC vs Laminated Flush Doors

• Flush doors can be cost-effective at the time of purchase but swell in the bathrooms. 
• WPC and Greenply’s Decorative doors do not swell and stay uniform despite usage. 

WPC vs PVC Doors

• PVC doors are cheaper but are not strong or long-term for service. 
• WPC is thick, strong and provides a premium feel. 

WPC Door Frame & System Integration

Internal doors require matching frames, but a WPC door frame improves performance by: 

• Resisting termite infections
  
• Does not bow under long-term usage.
  
• Maintains uniformity throughout the structure and with the door leaf
  
• Hardware alignment stays stable

A WPC door with frame will ensure compatibility in installation with reduced post-installation issues related to hinges, gaps or the entire fitting. 

Benefits of Using WPC in Homes

Homeowners prefer the wood polymer composite doors because of their practicality and performance, even during renovation. Here are a few core benefits: 

• Suitable for humid zones like bathrooms
  
• Ideal for climatic conditions
  
• Pairs well with laminates, paint or veneer
  
• They are easy to maintain without any need for polishing or seasonal care
  
•  No worry of warping or sagging

Total Cost Breakdown & System Pricing 

Door costs are affected by a lot more factors than just the leaf. Here is what homeowners should evaluate: 

• Door leaf cost
  
• Frame cost
  
• Hardware cost (handles, hinges, locks)
  
• Surface finishing (laminate/paint)
  
• Installation & labour
  

WPC door cost factors are affected by:

• Thickness of the WPC sheet
  
• Density/grade quality
  
• Whether it includes a frame
  
• Surface finishing requirement
  
• Usage zone (bedroom vs bathroom)
  

A WPC door with frame price can cost more initially, but due to its solid structure and lack of maintenance problems later on. But homeowners should compare options and make a complete WPC door cost guide to choose the option that fits their budget.
