Hello everyone,
we are strongly leaning towards white wooden interior doors, so here is the question: CPL or white lacquer?
Based on our research so far, CPL seems to be more durable and easier to maintain, especially because of children.

Furthermore, we quite like doors with stripes or so-called moldings (nice to have), but unfortunately the range for CPL + white + molding appears to be quite limited or rather expensive. What are your recommendations and opinions regarding surface finishes?

My husband and I have also thought about this topic for a long time and ultimately decided on CPL doors – with a dog and two lively children, we wanted to be on the safe side. If you are still looking for suppliers: We got our doors from Rudda! So far, we are very satisfied with them!

Currently, white doors are quite popular. But how do they hold up against yellowing? Are these doors still white after 10 years, or do they turn quite yellow? Has anyone had any experience with this?

Best regards,
Sabine

We deliberately chose white lacquer and square edges.

We looked at several CPL surfaces and did not find the finish attractive at all. Rounded edges were also not appealing...

And regarding future replacement: Tear out the door frames again?

Lacquered doors can be filled and repainted – everything is possible.

They are definitely more sensitive, but it shouldn’t be viewed as a major issue.

Hello Sabine,
that depends on the type of paint.
Synthetic resin paints tend to yellow over time, while acrylic paints are more colorfast. The former dry physically due to solvent-based ingredients, meaning they harden by absorbing oxygen from the air. Water-based acrylic paints, on the other hand, dry through the evaporation of water.
So it really depends on which paint system is used.

In 10 years, probably something completely different will be fashionable again, and for many people – even if it’s still white – it might suddenly not be considered stylish anymore.
However, I can’t imagine that significant yellowing would occur after just 10 years (unless someone smokes inside the house…).
