Nov 7th 2024
At Dalmatian Doors™, we take pride in offering a diverse selection of high-quality wood types for our doors, each with its unique characteristics and benefits. Here’s a detailed look at the options available:
Paint Grade Poplar (Primed White)
Poplar is an excellent choice for painted finishes due to its smooth, uniform texture. Our paint grade poplar doors come primed white, providing a perfect base for your chosen color. This wood type is both affordable and versatile, making it a popular choice for a variety of interior applications.
Poplar (Raw)
Raw poplar offers the same smooth texture as our primed version, but with a natural finish. While it’s ideal for those who prefer to paint or stain, keep in mind that poplar can have color variations, which may affect the final appearance when staining. Poplar’s fine grain and consistent texture ensure a high-quality finish, making it a versatile choice for custom décor styles.
Clear Pine (Raw)
Clear pine is known for its light color and fine, straight grain. This wood type is free from knots, offering a clean and uniform appearance. Clear pine is easy to work with and can be stained or painted to achieve the desired look, making it a versatile choice for both traditional and modern interiors.
Alder (Raw)
Alder wood has a warm, reddish-brown hue and a fine, straight grain with occasional knots, giving it a rustic charm. It is relatively soft and easy to work with, making it suitable for custom designs and intricate details. Alder can be stained to mimic more expensive hardwoods, providing a cost-effective yet beautiful option.
Cherry (Raw)
Cherry wood is prized for its rich, reddish-brown color that deepens with age. It has a smooth, fine grain and a luxurious finish, making it a favorite for high-end applications. Cherry is durable and strong, ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance.
Red Oak (Raw)
Red oak is a classic choice, known for its robust strength and distinctive grain patterns. Its light to medium brown color with a reddish hue adds warmth to any space. Red oak can be stained to enhance its natural beauty or left raw for a more traditional look.
Mahogany (Raw)
Mahogany is celebrated for its rich, deep color and superior durability. Its straight, fine grain and natural luster make it an elegant choice for premium doors. Mahogany is resistant to rot and insects, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use.
White Oak (Raw)
White oak is known for its strength and durability, with a light to medium brown color and distinctive grain patterns. It’s a versatile wood that can be stained to achieve various finishes. White oak’s resistance to moisture makes it ideal for both interior and exterior doors.
Black Walnut (Raw)
Black walnut is a premium wood, renowned for its dark, rich color and striking grain patterns. It offers a luxurious finish and exceptional durability. Black walnut’s natural beauty makes it a preferred choice for high-end, custom doors that stand out.
