How to choose interior doors 

One of the questions that should not be underestimated when arranging the interior design and furnishing of a house is represented by the choice of interior doors. They are at-sight elements, allowing to define the environment in a specific and particular way, both in private houses and commercial facilities, offices included.

Interior doors have to be designed ad hoc, establishing the type and material, according to a harmonic match with fixtures and floors. In this article we give you some simple advice to add value to your interior doors, to enhance , at the same time, the whole space, according to the style you like the most.

Which type of opening is the best?

Interior doors are available in different models based on, firstly, the type of opening, which can be accomplished according to different solutions. Among the most appreciated and common types there are:

• Hinged door. The most classic option in which the panel is fixed through hinges from one side of the opening, to then rotate on the lateral axis vertically in the moment the door is opened. It is characterised by the wide choice of materials, and it has one or two panels according to the opening width. The panel can be pushed, with an inner rotation, or pulled, with an external one.
• Sliding door. Another very common type of inner door. It can be made of wood, but also laminated or even glass. Its strength point? The fact to be a true space saver.
• Folding door. A two panels model, combined through rotating hinges which consent to the single panel to freely turn. It is necessary to correctly fix the hinges, on the top and on the ground, to facilitate the sliding of the panels in the tracks. The folding doors are used especially to temporary divide the spaces, closing wider openings or, on the contrary, delimitating a pretty small space.
• Flush-to-wall door. This is an inside door characterised by the absence of jambs and frames, with a linear and functional design, more similar to the one of walls, as it is directly incorporated in it. A type able to satisfy multiple furniture choices, including the passing to secondary rooms, such as utility rooms or storage closets. Perfect for those who desire to make choices that match a décor style.
• Pivot door. Another space saver which main trait is the opening and closing system. A lightweight and functional interior door, easy to install everywhere.

The choice of materials: the other decisive element for interior doors

We’ve seen how the choice of the right interior doors depends, first of all, on the function and style of the environment it is placed in. Of course, the hinged model is still the one we are used to the most, thanks to the wide versatility it guarantees when it comes to the material it is made of and that could be wood, glass, laminated or a combination of all of them.

Not all the other types, sliding door aside, have the same possibility of choice regarding the material used. This topic regards the safety doors too, which are specifically designed by the Futura Infissi team to be long lasting and endure all kind of shocks. In fact, in this field the armoured doors have to have, for example, a layer of thick steel inside them, that ensures a further protection to the house.
