The primary advantage of them is their natural beauty. You can especially see this with solid hardwood doors. Each door can be stained or finished to bring out the individual color and texture in the wood grain. Many older homes already have solid wood interior doors as they were the standard for years and years.
One of the great things about them is that they are easy to customize to meet your particular needs. There are a variety of options available with them such as pass keys, glass panes, and embellishments.
While some woods may be prone to swelling with moisture, most of them will require a minimum of maintenance. You can make their natural beauty last longer by coating them with a protective finish or paint. When properly sealed a wood door will hold up well to normal wear and tear and resist dents and scratches.
They naturally reflect heat which can help reduce your utility bills during those cold winter months. If you are really concerned about utility costs you can purchase wood doors with an insulated core in order to get better energy efficiency. You can purchase solid wood door as well as wood which has been laminated with a veneer lumber or clad in fiberglass or aluminum.
