Looking for a PVC door with Stained Glass Panel Insert

[avusblue]

Anyone know where i can find something like this. I saw one shop selling this before, in Seri Kembangan. But I can't find their brochure anymore.

I'm gonna use this for my bathroom ... any help is appreciated. This seems like a very difficult product to find. Thanks.

Just changed my to a PVC, from the rotted wooden door. The vendor is in puchong and his adverts advertise regularly in The Star during weekends.

fRaNky, how much did it cost you?

There is a shop at Taman Medan, along Jalan Kelang Lama. I don't know the shop number but its there among the car repair, motor cycle, kereta potong and CT Hardware power tool shops. All facing Jalan Kelang Lama. You can easily spot the shop displaying all sorts of doors. I'm sure they can assist you to your requirement.

Nowadays, there are those nicer looking ones with 'timber patterns' on them rather than the plain-coloured PVC. Yes, PVC is the only permanent and practical solution if the bathroom door is in contact with water all the time. You don't much choice though, alternative is glass door maybe.
It's not so bad if you the bathroom is relatively dry, like if there is separate a shower cubicle or is door is a safe distance away from the wet area.

If I'm not mistaken, most if not all bathrooms in the West are usually DRY, not like local here where most of the time the whole bathroom is soaking WET common by bath shower, bath without shower, washing clothes, or frequent washing up of bathroom. Our Asian culture is just too different when it comes to using the bathroom. I should think an ideal bathroom in small to medium sized terrace homes, should have a proper shower floor sink and equiped with shower curtain. Lets not delve into baths that have bathtubs, which I don't think anyone takes a bath in a tub the way western people do.
OK..back to the door. Obviously the frequent wetting of bathroom, high humidity and moisture and frequent splashing of water all over will surely rot any mediocre timber door in time. Perhaps this is one main reason why people are looking for PVC doors so that it'll last forever and for practical reasons. The door styling is perhaps secondary in this case.
OK..I too need to replace my toilet doors in good time which the developer supplied doors are anything but cheapskate doors.
Its perhaps not prudent just to replace to any old door and let it last till another time to think about it.

1. Think about spending money on a good bath sink and curtains minimizing a wet toilet most of the time.
2. A good timber door but specially surfaced finished with a coat of waterproof coating on one side of the door, and finished with color paint of your choice.
I intend to DIY this on 4 of my toilet doors at a later date as I'm able to spray paint my door to my personal satisfaction.

BTW, I forgot to add that I've found that its also no good that toilet wall tiles are frequently wet all the time. Developers do such a lousy installation of wall tiles that water seeps in through the gaps or voids (due to grout loss) and the moisture can seep through the wall an onto outside causing deterioration on the exterior. The ideal thing to do is think about renovation for long term (whenever lah?) and waterproof the whole floor and wall before laying tiles. I believe this is standard proceedure in properly designed homes. I've seen just too many homes with damp walls and ceilings just outside and below the toilet. Most of the time its NOT caused by toilet leakages, but by trapped water and moisture from your bath time, trust me. :)

I went out shopping for timber door.
Roughly:
33" X 81" standard timber door is from RM250 onwards.
Choice of timber is Merbau, Nyatoh, Meranti and one other.
Doors with plain glass panels RM490 onwards.

Say door is RM250 (bare and unfinished)
another RM100 for installation.
transport RM30 if just buying bare door.
painting up to RM160

Do your maths...not cheap eh?...compared to how el-cheapo your developer supplied door at RM60+ each.

Rough estimate is what I posted earlier. Bare sample doors are there for your viewing.
I have to say that Malaysian timber prices are somewhat sky high nowadays and getting a good quality timber door ain't a cheap matter. Thank the Malaysian market for making things more and more expensive nowadays.
