Wooden sliding doors

The term Wooden Sliding Door is actually a collective name for all sorts of different types of solid door panels. It is therefore good to pre-think what kind of wooden door panel you want to use as a sliding door.

Ready-made wooden sliding doors

As a sliding door, you can often use standard ready-to-use blunt doors, for example, from a hardware store.

The cheapest doors are generally hollow core doors, also called honeycomb doors because the cell grid filling has the motive of a honeycomb. The core is made of solid cardboard or hardboard. Over that is on both sides, a plate of MDF (medium density fibreboard), HDF (high density fibreboard) or plywood. In addition to the price advantage of this type of door panel, the door is also light in weight. The disadvantage of a hollow core door is especially the insulation, not only in temperature, but also in noise.

Another type of door is the inner tube door. The core of this door consists of chipboard where air ducts are made in. Doors with a tubing core are more firm and have better insulation than hollow core doors, both thermal and acoustic.

Door panels with a full-core have a whole chipboard inside and are therefore much heavier. Full core doors are often used as fire doors.

Custom made wooden sliding door

Standard doors have, as the word already says, standard sizes. They often fit into the existing sliding door systems. If you have deviating dimensions, you will need to adjust a standard ready-made interior door. You can of course also create a sliding door panel yourself, by example made of a plate plywood or MDF. Keep in mind the thickness of the plate. Usually the desired thickness for the sliding door systems is about 4 cm.

Out of the box sliding doors

Of course, a wooden sliding door does not always have to be finished in white. If you buy a ready-to-paint door panel, you can paint it in any beautiful color, but also wallpaper gives a great effect.

When you make a wooden sliding door panel or if someone does it for you, consider plastering of a plate plywood with scaffolding wood or other materials. You can also find inspiration on our page on Pinterest.
