What should I choose for interior doors? (lemmy.world)

I am renovating my new house and would like to ask everyone, is it better to choose wooden doors, WPC doors or steel-wood doors for interior doors? Which one did you choose? How do you feel after using it for a few years?

Go with solid core wood doors for interior. They're a lot more expensive than hollow core and more work to install (they usually come unfinished and without pre-drilled holes) but they will last decades, are much better at sound dampening, and can be repainted or re-stained.

I thought solid core doors were better for sound dampening and they were very much not.

Really? Aren't solid wood doors soundproof?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

They conduct sound better than hollow core IME. Soundproof doors have an insulation layer of sound deadening material in them.
