Steel security entrance door on a new residential house in Accra Ghana
For humid and termite-prone markets, material selection is part of long-term maintenance control.

Quick answer

For this Accra residential development, WPC interior doors were selected to reduce termite and rainy-season swelling risk, while steel security entrance doors provided stronger anti-pry protection at exterior openings. The package included spare hardware and labelled packing groups to support local maintenance.

The challenge

The project team wanted to reduce maintenance claims caused by termite exposure, wet-season humidity and bottom-edge swelling. Entrance doors also needed stronger resistance against prying and hardware wear.

WPC was selected to reduce the termite and moisture risks associated with timber in some tropical projects.

The specification

Interior openings used WPC door sets with moisture-stable boards, matched frames and practical finishes. Entrance openings used dark steel security doors with reinforced hinges, anti-pry edge details and lock hardware selected for local replacement.

What VISFURN changed

  • Replaced vulnerable timber doors with WPC interior doors in high-risk areas.
  • Specified steel security entrance doors with anti-pry edge and reinforced hinge areas.
  • Added spare lock cylinders, hinges and handles into the container.
  • Grouped cartons by building, floor and room type to simplify site distribution.

Logistics and result

The shipment moved from North China to Tema with a planning estimate of 33–45 days, excluding port congestion. The buyer built in extra clearance time and kept spare hardware on site.

The package reduced wet-season door swelling complaints and made maintenance replacement easier for the local contractor.

Buyer questions

WPC is not a food source for termites in the same way timber is, making it a strong option for termite-prone interior projects.

WPC is suitable for many interior areas because it is more moisture-stable than timber-based doors.

A planning estimate is commonly 33–45 days, excluding port congestion and clearance delays.

Review steel thickness, anti-pry edge, hinge reinforcement, lock body, cylinder and frame fixing.

Yes. Spare hinges, locks and handles help local maintenance teams avoid long replacement delays.
