Prefinished doors are a great option for homeowners who want a quick and easy installation process, a durable and long-lasting finish, and a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from.

In our Raleigh, NC area door supply store, we are finding that prefinished doors are more popular than ever.

Here are the top 5 advantages of prefinished doors:

1. Quick and Easy Installation

Prefinished doors come ready to install, so you don’t have to worry about painting or staining them yourself.

This can save you a lot of time and hassle, especially if you’re not experienced with DIY projects.

For instance, with a prefinished door, there’s no worry that you’ll get paint on your brand-new hinges and hardware.

Once the door is installed, your project is complete.

2. Professional Finish

Prefinished doors are finished by professionals in a factory setting, so you can be sure that the finish will be high quality and consistent.

This is especially important here in central North Carolina. Between the high humidity, swirling yellow pollen, and surprise rain storms, there are rarely days that are truly ideal conditions to prime and paint a new door.

By contrast, in a factory setting the paint is typically applied by spray. This means that the finish will be smooth with no pooling, peeling, drips, or tacky feeling.

3. Durable and Long-lasting Finish (With Great Warranties, Too!)

Prefinished doors are typically finished with a high-quality paint or stain that is resistant to scratches, fading, and moisture.

This means that your doors will look great for years to come.

Homeowners can be further assured by the excellent warranties that door manufacturers offer on their prefinished doors.

Warranty options vary by company, but are typically anywhere from 1-5 years on the factory prefinish.

4. No VOC Emissions

A VOC emission is the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.

VOC emissions can have several negative impacts on human health and the environment.

efinished doors are typically finished with low- or zero-VOC paints and stains, which means that they are safe for your family and the environment.

5. Cost-effective

The cost of prefinished doors is comparable to the cost of unfinished doors.

But, the convenience and time savings of them being install ready are the real advantages of prefinished doors that make them a great value for smart homeowners.
