Despite a multitude of doors to choose from today, interior panel doors remain the most popular selection for homeowners. The following are a few of the reasons interior panel doors remains a favourite choice.
Price: The cost of pre-manufactured interior panel doors is generally lower than doors that are specially made or doors that are made of steel or other materials. White primed, painted, flat-panel interior doors are the least expensive doors.
Wooden doors with raised panels are more expensive than flat-panel doors but are still more affordable than doors made of other materials. Homeowners have a wide range of prices to choose from, and there is a panelled door to fit every budget.
Wood Choices: Wooden doors are available in different grades of wood. The most popular and least costly choice are the white primed wood doors. Manufacturers usually offer doors either untreated or pre-finished (i.e. factory lacquered) and the homeowner can always choose to paint the door another colour as a do-it-yourself project. Stain-grade wood is more expensive than painted wood and adds an elegant look to a home.
Insulation: Solid core wooden doors provide better insulation than hollow core doors. Weather stripping can be added to the door for even better insulation. Interior panel wooden doors with glass are excellent choices in areas where light is required or for play areas.
Styles: The two basic styles of interior panel doors and these are the solid panelled or glass panel doors. Nearly every style of solid panel door has a matching glazed version available. This is to help you co-ordinate and match the doors throughout your home.
Customization: The combinations of features for wooden doors are endless. The following are a few of the features available for interior panel doors.
• Glass: Some homeowners want solid wooden doors, and others want doors with windows to allow more light to enter. Our wooden doors are offered in a huge array of sizes, styles, and number of windows or panels. Panels can be flat, raised, raised and fielded, square or rectangular or even flush with a ‘v’ groove feature or timber inlay.
The choice ultimately depends on the taste of the homeowner. The panel selection should complement the other door features as well as the home.
