Interior doors: materials, glass, design, and matching your home’s style.
Interior doors
One of the most popular types of interior doors is the hinged (swing) door. Such doors can open either in one direction or in both directions. Hinged interior doors can be glazed or solid, and they can be installed inward or outward. A wide variety of materials and different design solutions are used to manufacture interior doors.
The main materials used to make interior doors are wood, various types of profiles, glass, and steel.
Today, materials used to manufacture interior doors must meet modern requirements. If it is wood, it must be dried and treated according to the latest technologies in the field of door manufacturing. A large number of wood-derived products have appeared, which are also successfully used to produce interior doors. As a result, types of doors such as veneered doors have become very popular.
Alternatively, glass doors can be used as interior doors. Combined interior doors—that is, those made using several types of materials—have gained greater importance. The use of combined doors allows for expanded technical characteristics and a wider range of shapes for interior doors.
Interior doors can be single-leaf, double-leaf, and one-and-a-half leaf (when the door leaves have different widths). The type of interior door in this case will depend on the number of leaves. Depending on the material that fills the door leaf, interior doors can be solid or glazed. Laminated doors also look good as interior doors.
Glazed doors are often installed as interior doors in the inner spaces of a building. This is due to the need for additional lighting in certain rooms. Both clear and colored glass can be used for interior doors, with varying degrees of transparency, different shapes, and design solutions.
Interior door — what should it be like?
An interior door should blend organically into the overall interior style. The type of material from which it is made will depend on the stylistic direction of the interior, as well as the owners' personal preferences and tastes. The main thing is that the interior door looks harmonious, because a poorly chosen model can negate the entire elegance and beauty of the interior.
