WPC Doors: Honest Pros and Cons

The advantages

• Water and moisture do not make it swell, warp or rot — the reason people choose it for bathrooms and kitchens.
• Termites and insects do not eat it.
• Lighter than PVC doors of the same size (leaf 25–27 kg), so hinges last longer.
• Can be sanded like wood, so the colour film bonds strongly.
• Strong: our crush test drives cars and a 4-ton forklift over a door.
• Lifetime warranty against water, moisture, insects and termites, registered on our website.

The limits

• It costs more than a cheap HDF or hollow-core door.
• The colour comes from a surface film, so deep scratches show the core and are harder to touch up than solid wood.
• Quality varies a lot between makers — many "WPC" doors on the market are something else inside.

Who it suits

Apartments where bathroom and kitchen doors usually swell within a few years, rentals that need doors to survive tenants, and anyone who does not want to replace doors again. If the lowest upfront price matters most, a cheaper door will do — it just will not last as long.
