Steel Doors vs. FRP Doors: Which is Right for You?
When selecting doors for your home, industrial space, or commercial facility, the choice between Steel Doors and Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Doors can have a significant impact. Each material offers its own distinct advantages based on the specific needs of the environment. Here, we compare both types to help you make an informed decision.
FRP Doors
Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Doors are crafted from general polymer resins with polyurethane foam cores, offering a lightweight yet durable solution for environments that demand strength and hygiene. FRP doors are particularly valued for their resistance to chemicals, weatherproof nature, and suitability for humid or chemical-laden environments.
At SHREE HARI FIBRE PRODUCTS PVT LTD, our FRP doors are made using a specialized pressure moulding technique to create a smooth, seamless surface that enhances durability and prevents bacteria buildup.
FRP doors are low maintenance, resistant to harsh cleaning agents like VHP and chlorine-based disinfectants, ideal for healthcare facilities, labs, and food processing units. Their longevity makes them a sustainable choice for eco-friendly facilities.
Benefits of FRP Doors:
• Chemical Resistant
• Weatherproof
• Low Maintenance
• Seamless Construction
• High Durability
• Fire Resistant
• Longevity
Steel Doors
Steel doors are known for their strength, durability, and rust resistance. They are constructed from galvanized steel, cut into precise shapes, and assembled using spot welding for solid construction. These doors can be enhanced with different cores for improved performance in energy efficiency or soundproofing. The galvanized layer allows for easy customization. Steel doors are excellent for securing entry points in residential, commercial, or industrial applications. Their fire-resistance and energy efficiency make them ideal for reducing energy consumption in buildings.
Benefits of Steel Doors:
• Highly Durable
• Fire Resistant
• Energy Efficient
Which Door is Right for You?
Both FRP and Steel doors offer excellent durability and fire resistance, but their suitability depends on the specific needs of the environment.
• If you’re in a humid, chemical-rich, or hygiene-critical environment, FRP doors are the superior choice due to their seamless construction, chemical resistance, and low maintenance.
• On the other hand, steel doors are ideal for applications where strength, security, and energy efficiency are the priority, such as industrial facilities or high-traffic commercial spaces.
Each door type offers distinct advantages, but the choice ultimately depends on the specific demands of your project.
