10 Types Of Doors To Consider For Your Home
There are many types of doors to choose from for your home, find them out here…
You might think all doors are created equal, but they’re definitely not. First, there’s the material to consider: Do you want a wood door? A fiberglass door? A glass door? And then there’s the style. You could go dutch, French, or maybe paneled. The choices are endless, and there are definitely some considerations to be made before picking out the doors for your house, so we’ve broken all the info down for you.
1 – Paneled Doors – Paneled doors are super common, so this will probably look familiar. The frame of the door is made from wood, then shutter panels made out of wood, plywood, hardboard, etc., are inserted. Panels can be made out of glass, but wood is what you’ll see most often.
2 – Dutch Doors – You may not know their formal name, but you definitely know this door. Dutch doors are divided horizontally, using different panels for the top and bottom. It’s super convenient for a kitchen, or for letting pets out.
3- Glass Doors – Glass doors usually consist of panels of glass set into a wood frame. Since privacy is a consideration, they’re usually used for the back of the house, where views will be most apparent. Natural light is an obvious plus, but be warned—they are harder to maintain and generally more expensive than other types of doors.
4 – Battened and Ledged Doors – This is maybe the most simple door you can choose. They consist of wooden battens with three horizontal ledges (top, middle, and bottom). Battened and ledged doors can be braced or braced and framed to add rigidity and make them more aesthetically appealing.
5 – Wood Door – This is a door go-to. A wood door is super easy to make thanks to how available the product is. Though they can be used anywhere in the house, they’re most common for an exterior door.
6 – Hinged Door – You’ve probably got these all over your house, and then some. These are your straight-up passage doors, where one end of the door is installed on hinges so it can swing to and from the room.
7 – Sliding Door – Sliding doors are a must for a location that needs a large opening, like a back patio or a closet. They move on a track, so they don’t protrude into your space at all. If you’re going for a clean-lined, minimalist look, this is a good bet.
8 – French Door – These double doors are seriously statement-making. Set on hinges, they open up on either side, offering views for days and tons of natural light. Go on and live your fanciest life.
9 – Pocket Door – These doors, usually found in bathrooms, powder rooms, and closets, move in and out of an area provisioned on the wall. If you’re lacking in space (or just want something totally non-obtrusive), they’re a good bet.
10 – Fiberglass Door – If you want something with insanely low upkeep, opt for fiberglass. It’s super durable, resistant to dents, and has high insulation. Fiberglass doors can be offered with wood panels, can be painted/stained, and can work for interior or exterior doors.
