Types of door coatings: what to choose?

VRC Baltic manufactures high-quality interior doors fit for flats, houses, office buildings and more.
If you are at the stage of renovation when it is time to choose interior doors, you first need to consider which finish will be most durable and reliable. After all, every homeowner probably dreams of having a slab that remains aesthetically pleasing for a long time.

Our doors catalogue features varied designs, finishes and fillings, so you can always find the perfect solution for any project.

Indeed, all door characteristics are essential (from the slab size to the hardware colour), but in this article, we’ll consider the types of door coatings and their advantages.

ENAMEL

Wear-resistant enamel extends the product's life, protects the closet from scratches and retains its original colour:

At the factory, a painting robot applies European-made enamel to the door slab in several layers so that the surface is perfectly smooth.

The enamel coating combines synthetic resins, polymeric substances, colouring pigments and varnish. The texture feels like natural wood. This material is resistant to external factors, including high indoor humidity, temperature fluctuations and UV rays. A door coated with enamel will look as good as new even after 5-10 years.

The shade of interior doors usually matches the colour of the walls or flooring. If you like accents, you can choose a brightly painted slab with a decor.

3D WOOD GRAIN

3D wood grain is an innovative eco-friendly material with a heavy texture and colour of natural wood species.
