CORPORATE NEWSROOM Fenesta Solid Panel Doors Vs Traditional Wooden Doors: A Comparison of Performance and Value
Jul 15, 2025 By Fenesta
There is a lot to be said about the timeless appeal of wooden doors. However, traditional wooden doors come with their own set of challenges. You need to have a decent understanding of the different types of woods and even after that, there is no assurance of the genuineness, quality, and durability of the wood. Additionally, traditional wooden doors are susceptible to bloating and warping. These doors require a lot of maintenance, along with regular repainting and resealing. The challenges faced with wooden doors has led to the need for innovative solutions in fenestration, which is what solid panel doors are. One of the benefits of solid panel doors is that you have multiple options to choose from, including designer doors, hybrid material doors, and engineered wooden doors. The difference between wooden doors and solid panel or uPVC doors lies in the benefits offered by the latter.
What Is the Solid Panel Doors Range by Fenesta?
Fenesta offers an expansive collection of solid panel doors in three ranges. These doors are highly durable, sustainable, and require very little maintenance. Here’s what is offered in solid panel doors by Fenesta:
- Designer Doors: These designer doors consist of a core that is filled with foam and metal sheets that offer structural strength and enhance the weather resistance, energy efficiency, and noise insulation properties of the door. A skin of uPVC is also added to the doors, to enhance their aesthetic appeal and design flexibility.
- Hybrid Material Doors: These doors are made using wood plastic composite, a material that is curated using wood fibre and thermoplasts. This material provides your doors with the visual appeal of wood and the utility of plastic.
- Engineered Wooden Doors: These doors bring together the timeless appeal of traditional wooden doors with the innovations of modern engineering. Engineered wooden doors are made with a combination of multiple layers of high-quality hardwood and veneer or laminate.

What Makes Fenesta Solid Panel Doors the Better Choice
-
Durability
A major difference between wooden doors and uPVC-coated and other solid panel doors is that changes in temperature and humidity can easily impact wooden doors, which are also highly prone to wear and tear and scratches. On the other hand, Fenesta’s solid panel doors are designed to last long and are resistant to extreme weather conditions, temperature variations, moisture, and wear and tear.
-
Termite Resistance
Unlike traditional wooden doors, Fenesta’s solid panel doors are termite resistant, which allows them to maintain their structural integrity for years to come.
-
Weather Resistance
Fenesta’s solid panel doors are ideal for the tropical weather of India. They do not corrode, rust, warp, expand, contract, or rot, unlike wood, which is susceptible to damage.
-
Low Maintenance
Traditional wooden doors require regular cleaning, polishing, refinishing, painting, sealing, etc. On the other hand, one of the best benefits of solid panel doors is that they have minimal maintenance requirements, and cleaning the doors regularly is more than enough to keep them looking as good as new for a long time.
