Moulded Interior Doors
Moulded interior doors are a timeless architectural detail that will always remain in style. Moulded interior doors are versatile in design and can be dressed up or dressed down depending on each individual application.
Some things to consider when choosing a moulded interior door are as follows:
Materials
With moulded interior doors, materials that you may want to consider textured, smooth, solid core, or hollow core. Textured moulded doors include a faux wood grain, where smooth is exactly that. Textured are easier to paint, where smooth provides a more modern aesthetic. Solid core doors are moulded doors that have a wood chip core where hollow core doors have a cardboard and foam core. Solid core doors are typically used in bedrooms and bathrooms where hollow core doors are a popular way to save money in closet spaces or a cost-effective remodel.
Color
Probably the easiest way to add originality and truly make your own stamp. Adding color to a door can transform a home. When considering color, we must consider what we are looking to achieve. Are the doors meant to compliment or be a feature?
Panels and Sticking
Molded doors have both raised and flat panel features. Moulded doors are designed according to the to most popular styles, encompassing the most popular panel and sticking options we see in today’s wood door market.
Jamb Type (Frame)
Most interior doors to fit standard openings will have an 11/16” thick jamb (frame). Depending on the door selection, we would recommend colonial stops or sanitary stops.
Boring
Boring refers to the preparation of a door to install the handle sets. The most popular preparation is a single bore that is 2-1/8” in diameter. While this is the most typical application, there are quite a few ways to prepare a door for hardware and allows the client to pick the exact hardware they prefer. For certain handle-sets, an option would be a small face-bore which would allow the client to pick a narrow rosette for the hardware application.
Hardware
When it comes to hardware for interior doors, it is all about personal choice. There are tons of choices and ways to personalize each handle-set. You can truly make your hardware choice your own with a range of knobs, levers, rosettes, finishes, and mixed materials.
Hinges
Moulded interior doors, button top hinges are standard, but many folks prefer to dress up their hinges with decorative tips to their hinges such as steeple tip, ball tip, or urn tip. Additionally, square corner hinges are the perfect complement to any traditional interior door. Other than style, consider the number of hinges. The typical door will have three hinges applied to a door, reducing that count to a pair is a great way to add a feature to a typical door.
