Why Builders Choose Masonite Doors

The quality of your finished build can be impacted by the quality of the products you choose. Many builders go through a process of trial and error to select the products that best benefit their projects. At National Lumber, we work with our builders to identify which products will best meet their needs. Today, we want to highlight one such manufacturer that has become the builder’s standard for interior doors (while also carving their own name in exterior doors). Today, let’s look at why builders choose Masonite.
