Aluminium PVC or Wooden Doors Compared
Choosing between aluminium, PVC and wooden doors is usually the first decision on a container order for doors. Each material suits different openings, climates and budgets, and the three behave very differently in a mixed shipment. This guide compares the actual ranges available from HKBM in Foshan, so you can shortlist by material, opening type and use case before requesting quotations.
The Three Door Materials at A Glance
HKBM's door range covers 343 models across aluminium, iron, wooden and PVC families. Aluminium doors are the largest group, with 81 casement and french models, 65 sliding models and 14 folding models. Wooden doors include 27 WPC models, 24 solid wood models, 10 composite models and 9 glass wood models. PVC doors are a smaller group, with 10 casement and 7 sliding models. Each material answers a different set of site conditions, so the comparison below works from use case to material rather than the other way round.
Aluminium Doors for Strength and Large Openings
Aluminium doors are the usual choice for exterior entrances, patio openings and balconies, because the frames stay slim while supporting large glass panels. The 65 sliding models suit wide openings where a swinging leaf would take up floor space, and the 14 folding models open an entire wall section for terraces and shopfronts. Casement and french models, 81 in total, cover standard entrance and garden door positions. Aluminium frames resist moisture and do not warp, which matters in coastal or humid climates. If you are already ordering aluminium windows, matching door and window frames from the same range keeps finishes consistent across the facade.
PVC Doors for Wet Rooms and Budget Projects
PVC doors are lightweight, moisture resistant and need no painting, which makes them practical for bathrooms, utility rooms and rental or housing projects where maintenance must stay simple. The range here includes 10 casement and 7 sliding models, covering the common interior opening types. PVC is not the right choice for main entrances or large glazed openings, where aluminium or iron carries the load better. For multi-unit developments, PVC interior doors keep unit costs down while aluminium or iron handles the exterior points. Confirm frame colours and hardware options per model, as these vary across the range.
Wooden Doors for Interior Warmth and Finish
Wooden doors cover interior positions where appearance and feel matter most. The 27 WPC models combine a wood-plastic composite core with a finished skin, giving better moisture tolerance than solid timber, so they work for bathrooms and kitchens as well as bedrooms. The 24 solid wood models suit premium interiors where a natural timber door is part of the specification. Composite models, 10 in total, sit between the two on cost and construction, and the 9 glass wood models add glazed panels for studies, dining rooms and office partitions. Timber-based doors need dry handling in transit, so packing and container loading should be confirmed with the sales team.
Iron Doors and Gates for Security
Where security or a decorative entrance is the priority, the iron family is a fourth option worth considering alongside the three main materials. It includes 57 wrought iron door models, 35 wrought iron gate models and 4 garage door models. Wrought iron suits villa entrances, perimeter gates and projects where the door is also an architectural feature. These items are heavy, so container weight planning matters more than with aluminium or PVC. Mixing iron gates with lighter door families in one container is common and can be arranged through HKBM's consolidation service.
How to Plan A Mixed Container Order
Most buyers do not ship one door material alone. A typical whole-house order pairs aluminium exterior doors with WPC or solid wood interior doors, and adds windows, tiles or bathroom fittings to fill the container. HKBM consolidates goods from Foshan-area factories into one shipment, which is the practical way to build a mixed load without managing multiple suppliers. Start by listing every opening with its material, size and quantity, then request the PDF catalogues for the relevant sub-ranges to pick models. Pricing, packing details and production timing are confirmed per order with Coco Qiu or Johnny Wong over WhatsApp or email.
Key Takeaways
- Match material to position: aluminium outside, WPC or solid wood inside, PVC for wet rooms.
- Aluminium sliding and folding models cover wide openings that hinged doors cannot.
- WPC handles moisture better than solid timber for bathrooms and kitchens.
- Consolidate doors with windows and tiles in one container to cut freight and supplier count.
