getting a new one, residents should select a door that is strong enough to last
everyday use, produces minimal sound transfer between rooms and adds a distinct
appeal to the design of a home.
Sizes of Interior Doors
Interior doors are available in different heights and widths. For a 30-inch door, the
width is typically 2’ 6”, while 32-inch doors are 2’ 8” wide. Meanwhile, the height is
typically 6’ 6” for a 78-inch door and 6’ 8” for an 80-inch door. These two examples are
common sizes of a standard interior door, but they are also available in other sizes. The
thickness of indoor entryways is usually 1 3/8” and is regular in a variety of designs.

3. Types of Door Construction
The two kinds of doors are flush and panel doors. Flush doors consist of flat and fine
surfaces usually stained or painted with wood stains. They can mix flawlessly with the
design of a home. Flush doors come in a low-cost and lightweight version called hollow-
core flush doors. It consists of an internal softwood frame enclosing cores made of
cardboard honeycomb and has think wood veneers on the front.
On the other hand, panel doors have vertical stiles and horizontal rails as a framework.
These surround raised or flat wood panels as well as glass panes. They built it that way
to lessen the tendency of wood to swell, warp and shrink during humid weather.

The best kinds are constructed to fit precisely, have connecting sections and are more
costly compared to flush doors. A medium-density fiberboard (MDF) door is an
affordable version that looks the same as a wooden door.
Doors do not only provide a visual impact to a home, but choosing the right one can
save you from future replacements and repairs.
