WPC doors — for damp rooms

WPC is a wood-polymer composite: it doesn't absorb water, doesn't swell and doesn't warp when somebody showers behind it. It answers the one place where a panel door always ends up ageing badly.

Why a different door in a bathroom

A conventional interior door is made of wood-based panels. In a room where humidity rises twice a day, the bottom of the leaf eventually swells, the edge banding lifts, and the door starts to rub. That isn't a manufacturing fault: it is the material doing what the material does.

WPC — wood plastic composite — does not react to water. The leaf and its frame are in the same material, so the bottom of the door and the threshold move no more than the rest.

It is also the right answer for a utility room, a plant room, a basement, or a door opening straight onto a sheltered terrace.

Six colours, market sizes

WPC doors are held in six colours — white, light grey, grey, taupe, anthracite and walnut — in the standard Moroccan sizes: heights 204, 215, 220 and 240 cm, widths 63, 73, 83 and 93 cm.

The walnut colour imitates wood; it does not replace it. Close up, it can be told apart from a real veneer. If all your doors are veneered and only the bathroom is WPC, say so: we'll show you the two side by side before you decide, rather than let you discover the gap on delivery.

What WPC doesn't do

WPC is lighter and less dense than a solid-core door, so it blocks less sound. For a bathroom that doesn't matter; for a bedroom, it is the wrong product.

It cannot be repainted like timber and cannot be rescued by sanding: a deep scratch stays. In exchange, it asks for no maintenance at all for years.

WPC, PVC or MDF: which one for a damp room

The three materials turn up on the same sites and do not play the same part. Here is the comparison as we make it when a client hesitates.

Between WPC and PVC the difference never shows in a photo: it is density. A PVC leaf is hollow and light; it sounds hollow, marks on impact and holds a lock less well. WPC has a denser composite core, machines cleanly in the workshop for a lock or a ventilation grille, and takes better to a door that gets slammed several times a day.

MDF is not a rival to WPC, it is its complement. In a bedroom or a living room, a solid-core MDF door is clearly quieter and nicer to the touch — that is what we recommend. In a bathroom, it is WPC. On a villa, mixing the two is the rule, not the exception.

Frequently asked questions

Is WPC suitable for every room?
No, and that is deliberate. It is made for damp rooms: bathroom, utility room, plant room, basement. For a bedroom or an office, a solid-core door will be quieter and better to the touch.
Does the walnut colour look like real wood?
From a distance, yes. Close up, an attentive eye tells it from a genuine veneer. If your other doors are veneered, ask to see both side by side before deciding.
Is the frame also WPC?
Yes, leaf and frame in the same material. That is what stops the bottom of the door holding while the frame swells, or the other way round.
Can a WPC door be cut for a ventilation grille?
Yes, the machining is done in the workshop, in the same pass as the lock. Ask for it at quotation stage: a hole cut later on site is never as clean.
What warranty?
The warranty covers warping and delamination in normal use in a damp room. It does not cover impact or scratches: WPC cannot be sanded.
How much does a WPC door cost in Morocco?
It depends on the size, the colour and how many damp rooms the site has, and it only compares with the frame included, since leaf and frame are the same material. For bearings, our interior doors start at 1,000 MAD excl. VAT in the Éco range and 1,900 MAD excl. VAT in Premium, leaf only. Send us your door schedule: you get a firm price in 48 h rather than a range that will move.
WPC door or PVC door: which should I choose?
Both resist water; the difference is density. A PVC leaf is hollow and light: it sounds hollow, marks on impact and holds a lock less well. WPC has a denser composite core and machines cleanly in the workshop. PVC is cheaper to buy; that is its only advantage.
WPC or MDF door for a bathroom?
MDF, melamine, CPL, veneer: all of them are built on a wood-based panel, and a wood-based panel eventually swells at the bottom in a room where humidity rises twice a day. MDF is the right choice for a bedroom or a living room, where it is markedly quieter. In a bathroom, it is WPC.
What are the drawbacks of a WPC door?
Three, and we would rather say them before the order. It insulates less from noise than a solid-core door. A deep scratch cannot be rescued: WPC cannot be sanded or repainted. And the walnut colour imitates wood without replacing it — close up, the eye tells it from real veneer. In exchange: no maintenance, no warping, and a bottom rail that does not swell.
