It can add an extra level of design detail to the style of your home, keep your family safe from fire and if chosen wisely, could even add value if you decide to move. To help you select the right internal doors, we have highlighted the main points you need to consider. It might sound obvious, but make sure you pick a door that complements your home and style. When you look closely, inspiration can be found all over place, in its age, location or type and even in the way you intend to use the space.
If you live in a contemporary home, flush doors, like our popular veneer range, provide a sleek, minimal finish. To create more depth, you might consider a panel door. They are available in numerous designs and materials, including solid timber and moulded wood fibre, to meet your taste and budget. Oak internal doors remain on trend and create a quality finish in both contemporary and classic properties.
Traditionalists will love our panel and cottage designs, whilst the Cottage Horizontal design should appeal to those with more contemporary leanings. Reach for the measuring tape and follow the simple instructions below. First, measure the top, middle and bottom of the frame opening where the door will go.
Use the widest measurement to find the width of your new door. Again, measure in three points this time to the left, centre and right within the frame opening where the door will be.
The longest length will tell you the height of your new door. When you've taken your measurements, compare them with the sizes available in the style you like. While you're choosing, remember that different doors allow different amounts of trimming so if you can't buy the exact size, make sure you check the amount you can trim so that you can achieve the perfect fit. Now for the exciting part, choosing your doors! Following the simple steps below will help you decide on your selection.
Whether you prefer a classic or contemporary look, there's bound to be a door design that'll suit your home - and your pocket. Panels may be square or rectangular, with beveled or straight cut edges or may incorporate more sophisticated design elements, like arches.
Internal bi-fold doors represent a step towards sophistication, not just in terms of aesthetics, but in terms of structure and architecture, too. Bi-fold doors utilise hinges and a top track to open into a concertina, adding a unique twist to more traditional interior concepts. Bi-fold doors are great because they save you significant space.
As the manufacture and installation is more complex, bi-fold doors tend to be more expensive, although the cost can be mitigated by opting for hollow body panels rather than solid internal doors. Using glass in an internal door is a great way to facilitate the flow of light around a property, to give the impression of a larger space or simply to add a sleek-looking design element.
Internal glass doors usually incorporate a single or multiple glass panels into an internal wooden door frame. Glass doors are incredibly popular among people who want to let light into rooms while also maintaining privacy. They give your home a bright and airy feel, without having to have all your doors open. Popular glass door styles for interiors include the classic French door, which constitutes two doors with glass paneling, which open away from each other.
This option is ideal for creating a signature entrance into an important space within the property. Internal doors are available in a variety of standard door sizes , with most doorways catered to. The standard heights are mm and mm. With many people wanting their own personalised option, different door sizes can completely change the look and feel of an entrance and even the ambiance of a room.
Remember that these are just examples of common dimensions for internal doors. A great example is pocket doors. The cassette into which they slide needs to be built into the wall itself, and it is essential to have the requirements before the walls go up.
This will mean there are no disruptive alterations when it comes to fitting them. Although there is nothing wrong with choosing doors right at the close of the project, you should consider the finish at the same time as the rest of the interior design scheme. It is natural for your wish list of ideas to change throughout the planning and building process, but factoring in the aesthetics at the beginning of the project allows for these to develop.
However, it is important to be aware that this route comes with limitations. The growing trend for open-plan living has led to the advent of internal doors that can slide or fold away to open up various living spaces on the ground floor. In contrast, doors to separate more private areas upstairs are still firmly rooted in a more traditional style. A well-planned internal door can complete a design, and with cross-directional grains, different timbers, glazed inserts, and a variety of colour options can create an instant wow factor.
However, if you have a blank canvas and factor it into the wall construction phase, there is much more freedom. Many suppliers have noticed an uptake in converting their standard doors into fire doors. This is particularly true in more vulnerable rooms such as kitchens.
