What internal doors?? Help please
Comments (1)White for best value - oak for opulence !!!...See MoreGlass ideas for internal oak doors?
Comments (23)Hello. Those doors are beautiful and do not need glass that will block your view and compete for attention. My suggestion is to have clear glass. If you can find old style antiqued glass, or handmade glass that would be my vote. Otherwise just use plain glass. The key is the view through the doors (both ways). The doors will function as a frame so arrange furniture accordingly. I suggest new long curtains that hang closer to the ceiling. A beautiful neutral linen, or something that excites you. If you hang a vibrant or patterned curtain then your black sofa (is it a chair?) will not dominate the view through the doors. If you elect for a neutral curtain, then you may want to relocate the black sofa in favour of a more neutral piece. Beautiful home, what we can see of it. Good luck!...See MoreHowdens oak veneer internal doors - worth the extra cost over Wickes?
Comments (3)Howdens doors are thicker and twice as heavy as wickes doors ( literally ), I believe they are supposed to be of a more solid construction. Thus, they are less prone to warping. The amount of lip you have when trimming however is only 10mm on a Howdens door compared to a 20mm on a Wickes door. This needs to be taken in to consideration, you've got less wood to play with on the Howdens door if your frames aren't true ( they rarely are ). The choice is yours at the end of the day, but in answer to the question are Howdens better doors, yes, possibly. However, i'd ask what their guarantee is like in both shops............I don't know the answer. If it were me, i'd probably still go for the Wickes door at the end of the day, money is money and it's not like they're utter rubbish, they're still great doors and are FSC Certified, so they can't be that bad, I've fitted many and have never had a problem with them....See MoreFront door and internal oak doors
Comments (7)Solid oak tolerates temperature changes much better and better suits the front door. The front door is always exposed to moisture due to rain, snow, or fog. Also, the front door shouldn't fade over time due to direct sunlight falling on it in hot weather. I think it's much more profitable for you to take a solid oak door because it won't have to be changed after five years of use. We bought an oak door made of solid wood about ten years ago at https://www.ukoakdoors.co.uk/internal-oak-doors/four-panel-doors. I like that I don't see any cracks or wrinkles on this wooden door. My wife jokes that even my face is covered with wrinkles, despite the door has remained smooth and looks like a new one....See More

7 years agoHi. We had exactly the same issue recently. This is the option we went for. Think they were called 'pattern10'. Will post solid version. Just another idea to put in the mix. We found it really difficult to decide and I know pictures would have helped us. Good luck
