Wooden Doors Pictures

The humble door – an entryway to a room, home or indeed any type of property. It is something we repeatedly use on a daily basis, yet how much attention do we actually pay to the doors in our lives? Probably not enough is the honest answer! In fact, our doors play a much bigger role than we give them credit for. They can completely change the whole look and feel of a property. They can enhance the warmth of a home. They offer security against unwanted visitors and can also safeguard against the spread of fire. The close of a space creating an area of solitude, safety and sanctity and quite often, we just end up keeping what was already in place when we moved in without giving it much of a second thought.

So why not consider it a little more? Take a look around and observe yours more closely. Do they serve the purpose you require? Do they please you aesthetically-speaking? If the answer to either of these questions is ‘no’, then take a look at the Online Door Store to get some inspiration.


If already know you want something more durable, we’ll take a look at the different materials doors can be made of and give you a little help in finding what you need. Read on to find out more…


Timber

We all know that internal doors are commonly made of wood, but are you familiar with the different types available? There are certain ones which are harder than others, for example, oak doors. These are slightly more expensive than others owing to their solidity but are still great value for money thanks to their durability. Oak doors have even been known to add value to a home thanks to the excellent quality of them!


Hardwood is another popular option for timber doors thanks to their cost and durability. They are made up of solid hardwood blocks, jointed with mortise and tenon and are then overlaid with A-grade hardwood veneers. The benefits of this solid body include resistance to movement, warping and expansion.


 

Composite

Composite doors are exactly as they sound and are made up of a composition of other materials such as timber, PVC, insulating foam and glass-reinforced plastic or GRP. The resultant piece is a strong and secure door that will last many years with minimal maintenance.

 

Aluminium

Perhaps not exactly top of the list if you’re looking to replace the doors within your home, these still need a mention thanks to the sheer strength and longevity of them. Aluminium is an extremely hardwearing and secure material that will not rust or decay over the years. That is one of the reasons it is so useful for storage units or commercial properties.

If you’re looking to replace the doors in your home, composite is one of the best and most cost-effective materials. Thanks to the ease of buying online, you can also ensure you get the best price for your new doors, and you won’t need to worry about delivery either!
