Interior Doors

here are some pointers to get you going.

1. Kits

There are primarily two types of residential interior doors and they serve different purposes. These are pre-hung and slab doors.

• Slab

A slab door is the direct opposite of a pre-hung option in that it comes without a frame. It is essentially a rectangular, flat slab of material. It takes time to prepare them for installation. Expectedly, slab variants are cheaper than pre-hung.  This type is ideal for people who wish to build their own door frame.

• Pre-hung

A pre-hung door is a slab that is fitted with hinges attached to a frame. In other words, it comes with nearly all necessary to hang the door immediately. Prehung doors are available in various sizes and they can be manufactured from different materials, finishes and configurations. This kit is your best bet if you don't know much about installing.

 2. Door systems

There are several types of door systems and they include:

• Double and Single 

Single doors are arguably the most commonly used option. You can find it everywhere. They take up less room. In contrast, double doors are usually the favorite when it comes to larger homes. They can help show off your home's architectural features and are perfect if you move a lot of large items in and out of your building.

• Sliding

Sliding doors are panels sliding on a roller track. They are further divided into the following:

• Pocket: Pocket sliding doors disappear into a cavity in the wall of the building. They do not have hinges and are perfect for smaller spaces.
• Double pocket: This type consists of two sets of parallel doors to disappear into the wall by sliding into a space constructed in the spaces. They are suitable for larger spaces.
• Bypass: Rather than swing open into a room, the type consists of panels that stack over each other when opened.
• Barn: Instead of opening and closing like a traditional door, this type slides outside the wall so they are fully visible. 
• Magic: Magic system has an innovative concealed sliding system with dual shock absorbing stop. There is no need for upper and lower track installation, just attach mechanism to the wall. 
• Folding

Bi-folding doors consist of panels that overlap and fold into each other. They are suitable for large indoor spaces.

• Swinging 

Swing doors can be single-swing and double-swing. This type can be open in or out the room or swing in both directions.

 4. Finish

• Panel

This is another simple design, but the difference is that it comes with panels, which may run horizontally or vertically. Panels can be made of the same material as the door, and can also be made of glass. Glass panels are most commonly referred to as lites.

• Molded
