There are dozens of different door styles out there, to suit period homes, contemporary interior design, and everything in between. The main things that you will want to think about are the style, the material, and the finish. Panelled doors offer good privacy and look luxurious and elegant. You can stain, paint or varnish them to match or contrast with the rest of your décor. Glazed doors are ideal if you want to let more natural light into a room. They can make smaller rooms feel brighter, airier and more welcoming. Fire doors offer 30-60 minutes of protection in the event of a fire. Depending on the size and layout of your home you may be required to have fire doors fitted. Talk to your local authority for advice about this. Most interior single doors are either made of uPVC or wood. Wooden doors can be solid hardwood, veneered, or hollow core moulded. The most affordable option is hollow core moulded, and these doors are sold either pre-painted, with a woodgrain or smooth finish, or ready to paint – making them ideal for people who have a colour in mind. Solid hardwood doors are durable and long-lasting, but tend to be a little more expensive. Veneered doors are a good compromise, as they have a hardwood veneer, but are lighter and use less wood to make, so they are usually more mid-range in price.
