Flush Doors as maindoor

[Dreamhome]

Hi Experts,

What can be done with flush doors ( with water Proof) to make use of them as main door? So that they look attractive and also works out within cheaper budget.
Please suggest your thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi
Flush doors are not meant for main doors.In fact now flush are not even used for internal (unless very economy type).You can use composite doors for internal and higher thickness with water resistance can be used for main doors.

Hi Dream home
Composite doors are made of mix of cement/resin basin chemical with wood particles (not the particle board type)made hard like solid wood.Flush doors are made with repers of hard wood with just 3/4 mm ply stuck on either sides.
Good brands like Nikki,kutty are made of true Masonite coat (used one top to protect from weathering)
