What is DKP Sheet Metal? (Deep Drawing Quality Sheet Metal – Cold Rolled Sheet Metal)
DKP sheet stands for “Deep Drawing Quality Sheet” and is among the cold rolled steel sheets. DKP sheet is a type of steel with a flat surface, smooth and high strength.
⸻
Properties of DKP Sheet Metal
✅ High Strength: It is highly resistant to impacts and bending.
✅ Smooth and Uniform Surface: Ideal for painting and coating processes.
✅ Good Machinability: Suitable for cutting, bending and shaping processes.
✅ High Weldability: Suitable for welding processes in steel door manufacturing.
❌ Not Corrosion Resistant: It may rust when in contact with water and moisture in an uncoated state.
✅ It Should Be Protected with Galvanization or Paint Coating: In order to extend the life of the DKP sheet, its surface should be protected with galvanization, electrostatic paint or PVC coating.
⸻
Use of DKP Sheet Metal in Steel Door Production
• Door Body: It is used in the main structure of the steel door.
• Internal Support Sections: It is preferred for strengthening purposes in the internal reinforcements of the door.
• Coating Surface: Thanks to its smooth surface, it is suitable for wood coating, painting or coated laminate applications.
What is Izocam Stone Wool?
Izocam Stone Wool is a heat, sound and fire insulation material produced by melting volcanic rocks (basalt, dolomite, diabase) at high temperatures and transforming them into a fibrous structure. It is an A1 class fireproof material and is used in areas such as steel doors, building insulation and industrial structures.
⸻
Properties of Izocam Stone Wool
✅ Superior Thermal Insulation: Provides excellent insulation against hot and cold weather thanks to its low thermal conductivity.
✅ High Sound Insulation: Thanks to its fibrous structure, it prevents noise to a large extent and provides acoustic comfort on steel doors.
✅ Class A1 Fireproof Material: Can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C, does not catch fire and prevents the spread of fire.
✅ Water and Moisture Resistant: Waterproof, does not form mold and is resistant to moisture.
✅ Chemical Resistance: It is an environmentally friendly and long-lasting material, it remains intact in steel doors for many years.
✅ Flexible and Lightweight: Easy to install and does not increase the weight of the door too much.
⸻
Use of Izocam Stone Wool on Steel Doors
✅ It is used as a filling material on the inside of the door to increase heat and sound insulation.
✅ It is preferred especially in fire-resistant steel doors to increase fire resistance.
✅ Provides long-lasting insulation with stainless steel coating on exterior doors.
What is Compact Laminate?
* Also known as HPL (High Pressure Laminate).
* It is produced by pressing under high temperature (150°C) and high pressure (90-100 bar).
* It has phenolic resin impregnated kraft paper on its inside and a decorative and protective melamine layer on its outer surface.
* Resistant to water, impacts, scratches, UV rays and chemicals.
* It is hygienic, easy to clean and long-lasting.
Why is it used in steel doors?
* It is ideal for exterior doors as it is resistant to external weather conditions.
* Since it can give a wooden appearance, it is an aesthetically stylish alternative.
* It can be fire resistant, flame retardant properties can be added in special productions.
* Colour and texture options are wide and offer the opportunity for personalisation.
What is Composite Material?
Composite material used in the production of steel doors is a durable and lightweight material type produced by combining two or more components with different properties. Fiberglass (GRP), carbon fiber, wood-polymer or aluminum composite panels are generally used in steel doors.
Properties of Composite Material:
* Durable: It is highly resistant to abrasion, scratches, impact and weather conditions.
* Lightweight: It is lighter than traditional materials such as steel or concrete, which makes the door easier to install and use.
* High Water and Moisture Resistance: It does not rot, rust or swell, providing a great advantage especially on exterior doors.
* Provides Heat and Sound Insulation: Polyurethane or glass fiber added composites used on the inside of the door increase heat and sound insulation.
* Fire-Resistant Versions Available: Especially FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) coatings can be produced as fire-resistant.
* Offers Aesthetic Options: Appearances such as wood, stone, metal can be imitated.
Wooden Water Plywood (Marine)
Short Answer: Wood water plywood is not resistant to direct water, rain and sun! Although it is produced with water-resistant glues, it starts to deteriorate when exposed to water and weather conditions for a long time. Therefore, if it is to be used outdoors, extra protection (varnish, paint, coating) must be done.
Detailed Review:
1. Water and Rain Resistance
* It is not directly water resistant. Water resistant glue (WBP - Weather and Boil Proof) is used in its production, which provides protection against short-term water contact.
* However, if the edges and surface are not protected, it will swell, swell and rot when exposed to water for a long time.
* It is not a fully waterproof material! If it is to be used in constantly humid environments or outdoors, the edges should be sealed with water-resistant sealant and a waterproof coating should be applied on it.
2. Sun and UV Resistance
* Not durable when exposed to direct sunlight. Since wood is a natural material, if exposed to UV light for a long time:
* It dries and begins to crack.
* Color fades and becomes weak.
* If it needs to be used outdoors, it must be coated with UV protective varnish or paint.
3. Is it suitable for outdoor use?
* Not suitable for direct outdoor use.
* If exposed to rain, sun and constant water, it will swell, crack and rot.
* It can only be used outdoors when protective treatments (varnish, paint, waterproof coating) have been carried out.
Conclusion: Can Wood Water Plywood Be Used Outdoor?
❌ It will deteriorate if exposed to direct water, rain and sun for a long time.
✅ Short-term water resistant, but not fully waterproof.
❌ If you are looking for a long-lasting solution for outdoor use, Compact Laminate or Composite is a better choice.
Summary: Wood water-proofing on its own is not resistant to long-term water, rain and sun. If you are going to use it in outdoor conditions, you should definitely provide additional protection!
What is the Iroko Tree?
Iroko wood (Milicia excelsa and Milicia regia) is a hard and durable tropical tree species originating from West Africa. Although it is often called African Teak, it has a different structure than real Teak. It is widely used especially in steel door production, outdoor furniture, marine and construction sectors.
Properties of Iroko Wood
✅ High Durability: It is a hard and heavy tree, resistant to impacts and pressure.
✅ High Resistance to Water and Moisture: Thanks to its natural oil content, it is highly resistant to water and rot. Ideal for outdoor use.
✅ Resistant to Insects and Pests: It has a natural defense mechanism against pests such as woodworms and termites.
✅ Color and Texture: Its color can vary from yellow to golden brown. Over time, it may turn into a gray patina when used outdoors.
✅ Easy to Process: It can be cut, turned and processed more easily than teak wood.
✅ Does not require chemical processing: Since it is highly durable, it can be used for many years without additional chemical processing.
✅ Moderately Fire Resistant: Thanks to its natural oil content, it is difficult to catch fire, but it is not a completely fireproof material.
Why is Iroko Wood Used in Steel Doors?
* As Internal Filling Material: Strengthens the internal structure of the steel door and contributes to sound and heat insulation.
* As Exterior Covering Material: It provides a luxurious aesthetic with its wood coating appearance and is durable.
* Suitable for Outdoor Use: Since it is not affected by water, it can be easily used in villa entrance doors, garden gates and outdoor applications.
Conclusion;
✅ If you are looking for a long-lasting, water-resistant and outdoor tree, it is an excellent choice.
✅ It can be used as a coating or internal filling material for steel doors, especially preferred in villas and luxury projects.
❌ Since it is not as oily as real Teak, extra protection may be required in some applications.
❌ It is a little more difficult to work with than other woods and can dull knives quickly when cutting.
Summary: Iroko wood is a hard and durable wood that is resistant to water and weather conditions. It is widely used in steel door production, outdoor furniture and construction industry. If you want aesthetics and durability together, it is a good choice!
