ᐅ CPL Interior Doors – Edge Finish with Banding on the Top of the Door Leaf

AnderlHello,
for our new build, we prefer white interior doors with a CPL surface. The only drawback for us is the edge banding on the top edge of the door panel. In the doors of our current apartment, the edge banding has a different shade of white than the door panel itself, and in the bathroom, it warped due to moisture, causing a noticeable gap between the edge banding and the door panel.
Are there doors where the CPL surface is applied over all three edges (left, right, top), or is that not technically feasible in manufacturing?

We requested quotes from a supplier for both CPL and lacquered doors. The price difference was just over €200 net per door. With 20 doors, that amounts to nearly €5,000 more including VAT. It’s honestly not worth it to us, especially since we have two young children and the doors wouldn’t stay in good condition for long anyway.
Definitely white lacquer for the reasons mentioned. The additional cost here is €150 net. Including installation, about €400 (without bookstar tax ;-)).
Plain CPL really looks cheap on the edges. You could just choose a cheaper door handle; the possible extra costs there are hardly justifiable visually.
How do you manage to have 20 interior doors? We don’t even have half that number, and apart from the open-plan area, there is no typically missing door. Is this a very large house, or are there secondary rooms (like a basement)? You could also mix styles floor by floor.

20 doorsHow do you manage THAT?
Mixing by floor is something I know from friends. Absolutely fine. Otherwise, the white lacquer doors definitely make a better impression.
I can’t quite calculate the extra cost now, but it was roughly as described by Alex...
