Doors provide privacy, define rooms and reduce noise. They also add beauty and style to a space. Many types and materials are available for entry, making them easy to match your home’s decor. When it comes to buying a door, there are many options. Many door types can be purchased as inner doors and outside doors. They are available in a range of materials and finishes.
Level 5 doors
Level 5 doors are the strongest door, and they are made in the UK using a high Loss Prevention Standard. The product is high quality, Secured by Design, and has been tested to resist attack for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Bi-fold doors
They are designed to fold within the door frame. This allows you to save space compared with traditional doors. The door doesn’t open to the room. Instead, the doors’ two sections fold to the left or right. A pivot hinge is located on the frame, and there is no track on it. This means that young children and wheelchair users will not be harmed.
Dowel construction doors
Dowel doors are made of many pieces that have been manufactured separately. To make it possible to join the details together with dowels, dowel holes in the timber are left during manufacture. The dowel holes can be filled with glue, and then the dowels can be inserted. Once dry, the door can be placed in a pressing machine.
Hardwood doors
Hardwood doors are dense, sturdy, and long-lasting, thanks to the timber they are made from. Hardwood is more resistant than softwood to decay, and it is also more durable than softwood so that it can be used externally more often. High-density wood finish is possible on exterior hardwood doors. The most common hardwoods include oak, walnut, mahogany, maple, and mahogany.
Engineered doors
Engineered doors are the most commonly produced type of door. For a stunning final result, solid blocks or strips of timber are joined together with glue and veneer. There are many options for thickness and materials. You can then match the door grain with a thick piece of wood around the exterior as lipping. Engineered doors have a more consistent style because of panel matching.
Concertina doors
Concertina doors have a similar design to bi-fold doors but are more complex than those with one fold. They also don’t have hinges. They are typically made of solid PVCu. These doors can be folded or unfolded in various sections according to the width. These doors are commonly found in the kitchen pantry, walk-in closets, and other storage areas.
French doors
French Doors can be referred to as double doors in the UK. These doors have hinges that allow them open outwards. They are used frequently between living rooms and dining rooms. There are many options for finishes, materials, and styles.
Composite doors
A Composite door is made of a mix of materials to provide strength and durability. This is usually a combination of a solid timber or particleboard core, placed inside a wooden frame and covered with a GRP coat. Composite doors can be very cost-effective and are virtually maintenance-free.
