PVC doors are made of a strong, durable, and weather-resistant material that is perfect for both interior and exterior use. But how exactly are they manufactured? This blog post takes a look at the PVC door manufacturing process so you can better understand how these doors are made.

Mixing materials to make PVC

PVC doors are made using a variety of materials, including PVC resin, calcium carbonate, synthetic fibres, plasticiser, and other additives. The manufacturing process begins with the mixing of these raw materials in order to create a compound that can be moulded into the required style of door panel.

Moulding the PVC door panels

Once the compound is mixed, it is placed into moulds of the desired door shape and size. After the compound has been placed into the mould, it is then heated until it becomes pliable. Once it is pliable, the door panel is then cooled and removed from the mould.

Trimming and finishing the finished PVC door

The door panel manufacturing process begins with the creation of a mould. After the door panel has been cooled and removed from the mould, any excess material is trimmed away. Once the trimming process is complete, the door panel is then sanded and primed. The door panel then undergoes a finishing process that gives it its final appearance. This finishing process can include painting, staining, or varnishing. In some cases, the door panel may also be covered with a thin layer of veneer.

Shipping and installation of the PVC door

PVC doors are an extremely popular choice for both residential and commercial applications because they are available in a wide range of styles and colours. Once the door panel has undergone the finishing process, it is then ready to be shipped. The installation process is relatively simple and does not require any special tools or equipment. PVC doors are a fantastic option for those who are looking for an attractive and durable door that is easy to maintain.
