Toxic chemicals are used in the making of FRP doors, which are cancer-causing and leave a negative impact on humans and pets.

This fact makes WPC doors and door-frames a green product, in comparison to the FRP doors.
The cost of products always plays a greater role in their selection process. So holds true in the case of FRP doors and WPC doors. As a matter of fact, FRP doors are always expensive than the WPC doors, which shall be a reason good enough to select WPC doors over FRP doors. The WPC doors are cheaper than plywood doors, flush doors as well. This is because the WPC doors come as a finished product in comparison to the flush doors and plywood doors and there is no additional expense such as the application of laminate/veneer; as is the case with flush doors and plywood doors. This makes the WPC doors a better choice over FRP doors when it comes to the price.

But their limitation is that the designs of the FRP doors are very limited and selective. This is one disadvantage they have, over WPC doors which do not have any design limitations. The WPC doors are plain surfaces over which any kind of surface treatment can be done seamlessly. The surface treatment can be done according to the choice and taste of aesthetics of the customers. The kind of surface treatment that can be done includes CNC, polishing, pasting of laminates/veneer, etc. This makes the WPC doors a flexible selection over the FRP doors. In addition, the PVC-based door design give an alluring appearance to your house and office interiors and exteriors.
The manufacturing of the FRP doors is a completely manual process, other than being an extrusion or automated process. Due to this a lot of time is needed in their manufacturing, and bulk demand is not met on a timely basis. The delay in delivery schedules becomes another disadvantage of FRP doors, which affects the customers. In comparison to the manufacturing of FRP doors, the manufacturing of the WPC doors is an automated process, which means, that the bulk orders can be produced in a lesser span of time.
