Interior Doors Buying Guide

Your interior doors need to stand up to daily usage, they need to be strong and they need to be able to shut out noise from between rooms. At the same time, on an aesthetic level, they need to look good and fit in with the overall look of your home and fit in with your personal tastes.

Interior doors come in a variety of configurations and styles, and are made from a variety of different materials. The type of door you choose needs to be practical and hard-wearing yet at the same time measure up visually.

Why are you having new doors?

There may be a variety of different reasons why you’re changing doors, perhaps you’ve had a refurbishment carried out or maybe you’ve had the house repainted and decorated and you don’t feel the doors fit in anymore. It could be because of wear and tear, they don’t close properly or the locks won’t work. Whatever the reason you need to choose the type of doors you’re going to have carefully.

Different doors for different tastes

You can choose from a variety of different material and styles, from flat doors to panel ones, or ones with louvres (slats). Materials range from traditional wood, UPVC or composite. You’ll need to choose doors which are not going to swell and warp with humidity and retain their shape for many years to come.

It can be a difficult choice and getting it absolutely right is a difficult task, once you have them in place, you may be stuck with them for many years, depending on your budget.

Classic or Contemporary

If you have a traditional period property, you could go with a braced or ledged door which are especially good with country style homes or converted barns. A more modern contemporary home might look good with glazed doors, or minimalist flush ones, go for sleeker doors that give your home an elegant touch.

Folding Doors

You can have folding doors which are great for houses that don’t have much space and really work with open plan living. You can have them custom made, as you can with any doors as well as the folding ones, or you can have ones which come from a selection of pre-existing doors.
