Interior Doors
Interior doors help ensure privacy, reduce noise and can also hide rooms or areas that are untidy. There are several types of interior doors, each provide a unique design. Interior doors come in a wide variety of styles, which makes it easy to match or complement an existing trim and finish in your home’s decor.
Slab Doors
Panel doors, also known as slab doors, contain patterns of square or oblong panels and are a classic choice. A door may contain two large panels, six small ones or some other configuration. Choose panels with straight or curved tops to suit your decorating needs.
Accordion Doors
Accordion doors are ideal for closets and entryways with space constraints. They may consist of a few large panels or multiple small panels that fold in on themselves and rest against one side of the door opening.
Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-fold doors are a good option for closets, laundry rooms, pantries, storage rooms and other smaller spaces in your home. Choose bifold doors that fold back to one side of the opening, or bifold doors that fold back to both sides of the opening.
Barn Doors
Barn doors offer a classic, rustic look. This interior door type is more challenging to install and inspect. They hang from a top rail, allowing them to slide over door openings.
French Doors
French doors brighten any room. They come in a variety of sizes, wood types, styles and glass pane configurations. They are most commonly used as exterior patio doors, but interior French doors can make a stunning passageway between rooms.
Sliding Doors
Wood or mirrored sliding doors are a good choice for closets. They use space economically, and mirrored doors do double duty. Large mirrors also make a room appear more spacious.
Cafe & Saloon Doors
Swinging hinged doors or cafe doors can add easy flow from room to room while maintaining privacy.
Hidden Doors
Hidden doors are becoming a more popular interior door type in homes. They provide added security as well as a touch of whimsy to a room. They usually take the form of an outer bookcase that slides or rotates to reveal a hidden room entrance. However, these doors can be created customized to encompass more elaborate designs.
Many older homes have interior pocket doors, which slide into the wall when fully opened. They allow you to completely open the doorway without taking up any floor space. Pocket doors are making a comeback; many styles are available, single and double. A pocket door requires wall space that cannot have electrical or plumbing lines running through it.
Prehung Doors
Prehung doors come with hinges in their own frame, ready to fit into your doorway.
