Which type
of internal door is right for me?
Our internal door range is split into three categories, all of which
have their own features and benefits which suit all tastes, style and
budgets. When choosing what type of internal door to choose it is
important to take into account the specification as well as the style.
We have four categories of internal doors for you to choose from -
moulded, white panel and oak and hardwood veneer, please read further to
determine which suits you.
Moulded Doors
Moulded doors are a popular choice; they mimic the appearance of a
traditional panel door but at a more affordable price. The single piece
moulded face is available with a woodgrain effect or a smooth finish to
fit in around your décor scheme. The Homebase range gives a wide choice
of styles and sizes, from standard primed to fully-finished, panelled to
glazed, to a small opening (bi-fold) there's something for every home.
White Panel Doors
White panel doors are a selection of superior, heavy weight internal
stile and rail feature doors. The stile and rail construction method has
stood the test of time and gives a door additional benefits over other
methods. It uses separate components that are designed to maximise
strength and create clean, sharp lines, the individual components also
allow the timber to naturally contract and expand without warping. The
Homebase range offers both traditional and contemporary styles all with
matching glazed options to ensure there is a door to suit every home.
Oak and Hardwood Veneer Doors
A veneered door is one that has a thin layer of wood on its surface, in
this case oak or hardwood. These are popular due to the aesthetic
benefits of a solid timber door, but are actually more durable with less
risk of warping and splitting at a much more affordable price. The
Homebase range offers a wide choice of sizes in a variety of styles with
panelled and glazed options available.
Glazed and Bi-Fold Options
Whether you are replacing one door in your home or updating all of them,
it is important to know the different options available to really get
the most out of your choice in terms of both style and functionality.
Each panelled door has a glazed option to go with it; some will also
have a bi-fold option. Deciding what option to put where can be
daunting, apply the below information to the rooms in your house to
determine the best option for you.
Should I Choose a Glazed Door?
Glazed doors are a modern and increasingly popular choice for
homeowners. They are not only pleasing on the eye, but they also improve
the light between two rooms, opening up a room and emphasising the
space. Different glazing options are available, so if you want full
visibility or to keep your privacy, we have an option for you.
Each panelled door has a complimenting glazed option, these are more
expensive, but ultimately become a feature in your room and make a
difference. A glazed door is highly recommended not only as part of a
full project, but also as just a 'one off' replacement - it will really
make a difference to your home.
Should I Choose a Bi-Fold Door?
Bi-fold doors are built for functionality and typically picked as a
space saving tool, but are gradually becoming more of a style-based
pick.
A bi-fold door is effectively a standard panelled door cut in half, two
panels are attached by central hinges and when a door handle is attached
to the inner panel the two sections can be folded together. This opens
the door and space while halving the room taken up by the door. All our
bi-folds are supplied with the hanging hardware and track with easy to
follow instructions on how to hang. These are ideal for cupboards,
wardrobes or any opening where space is limited. They can also be paired
together to make a folding French door.
