Different Types of Doors.
Here at Kaybeedoors we have many different types of internal doors and external doors; these can be divided up into four main types of doors.
Panel Doors.
This type of door has panels inlaid from the surface of the door, there can be as many panels as you like, typical number of panels are 4 with the top two panel being larger (longer) than the botton two, but any arrangement is possible. The panel dont need to be made of wood but can be glass. These types of doors are probably the most common door available and can be seen in many different styles of home from Victorian homes to modern flats.
Glass Doors.
These door are made totally from glass, the glass must comply to BS 6026 standard, which is a minimum of 8mm toughened glass. The glass can be clear or opaque, for use say in a bathroom. These door are great for increasing the light within a home as even with opaque glass a large amo8unt of light passes through the door. These doors need to have a perfectly square frame in which to be fitted as they can not be trimmed, if your frames are not square made to measure glass doors can be specially made.
Flush Doors:
These doors are quite simply flat surfaced doors, with on panels or embossing on either side. This type of doors cam come finished (painted or vanished) or unfinished allowing you to finish the door to your required design. The great advantage of flush doors is they are the simplest to trim to size. This style of door is considered to be a very modern in style and are great for contemporary living. These can be made of solid wood or have two panels separated by a honeycomb centre.
Framed Ledge and Brace Doors.
Made with a Z shaped frame with interlocking boards that are tongue and grooved. These door give the country cottage style or farm look to a home, also giving a very solid looking finish to the door. These are often seen in a country kitchen setting.
