A door is not just a door. It is a security mechanism, an entrance way, and a style statement for your home. There are many types of doors available and the one you choose will depend on your home’s design as well as the functionality that you require from it. Here are the different styles available for your home.

Pivot Doors. This type of door is wider than the standard version. You need to have a wide entrance way for it to fit. It pivots on a hinge that holds it at the top and the bottom of the door, as opposed to it being hinged at the side. This is ideal for main entrances into the house. It makes a bold statement and is available in different design styles, and can be custom made to suit your home.

Double Doors. This type of door also requires a large entrance way. You have two doors that open in the centre. There are many design options with this one, which includes glass panels in the wood.

Solid Doors. These type of doors are made of solid wood. Your desired type of wood will depend on your design requirements. These are suitable for main entrances as well as on the inside of the house.

Side Light doors. This door has an additional panel on the side that consists mainly of glass. It adds a window element to the design and, consequently, more light into your home. This is a beautiful option for the main entrance.

Internal Glass Doors. This is a modern take on passage doors. It has a wooden frame with a large glass panel which is either clear or opaque. Depending on the design you like and your requirements, you can opt for the opaque glass to allow light in the passage way or the clear glass which enables you to see right through it.

Internal Veneer Doors. This stylish door has an elegant veneer finish and is usually suitable for bedroom entrances.

Folding and Sliding Doors. These slide open or fold to one side. They shut quite easily and are available in modern designs that are ideal for patios.

There are a variety of garage doors, too, but these are the different types of doors that are available for your home. Whether you require one for the main entrance, the passage or for bedrooms, there are many modern designs available for you.
