Opanpan Door Skins
When preparing to buy new interior doors for your home, workspace, or retail location, there are many important factors to consider. Depending on how many doors you need and your budget for each individual entryway, ETO Doors offers a considerable range of options to meet your needs. Before you review our entire inventory of interior doors, here are a few things to consider about the large interior design purchase that lies ahead of you. We hope you enjoy our Interior Door Buying Guide!
Fire Rated Doors for Enhanced Safety Inside the Home and Office
ETO Doors carries a huge variety of fire doors rated from 20 minutes up to 90 minutes. Contrary to popular belief, fire rated doors do not have to be solid structures; they can be two, four, or six paneled doors, or they can even have glass panes. ETO Doors brings you an inventory of fire rated doors with all these variations and more, plus availability in many different wood species, colors, glass panes, and even wrought iron overlays if you like. From Knotty alder to Brazilian mahogany and even fiberglass, every option you can imagine comes in a fire-rated option. Choose your door as a primed entryway ready for the finish and color you can apply yourself once received, or pick an interior fire rated door that has already been finished for you. Ample options in both selections make choosing an interior fire rated door easy.
Fire Rated Doors are Usually Soundproofed, Too
For those who do not know, many fire rated doors are often impact rated and sound resistant, too. That means when you choose a door that’s safer for your family home, you’re also choosing an interior door style that will keep the noise of the family out. Impact rated doors will keep the sounds of a loud gathering or boisterous crowd of children out of the bedrooms, home office, and other rooms outfitted with impact rated doors. For this reason, shopping fire and impact rated doors can become even more attractive to many interior door shoppers.
Choosing Your Interior Doors by Size
We know that choosing a door size is easier for some shoppers than others. For example, if you already know the size of your interior entryway thanks to an existing door, all you have to do is take measurements for the height, width, and thickness of the door you’re replacing. On the other hand, those shopping for a door to place in a new entryway because of remodeling or adding doors to newly built home may not have these measurements and may need to make some decisions about the size of the door they want, decide whether they would prefer one door or two, and even decide whether they would prefer an existing door from our catalog or choose to have one made specifically to their specifications.
At ETO Doors, we make this process simple by breaking down our selection of doors into the different measurements we offer so you can see the entire inventory we bring you based on the measurements of each. Choose to “Shop by Size” at the top left of your screen, then pick any size you like ranging from 12×80″ all the way up to 48×120″. Within these different measurement subcategories, you’ll see a wide variety of door colors, styles, wood species, and even some with glass panels if you prefer these.
Know Your Own Style: Choosing Between Panel and Flush Interior Doors
At ETO Doors, we offer both panels and flush interior doors. So, what’s the difference and why does this matter to you as a homeowner? It matters if you want to be the decision-maker when it comes to the style of your interior. But, for those who do not know, a panel door is simply one that offers one or more panels, usually ranging between four and six panels, but sometimes as many as eight or 10. On the other hand, a flush door is one that is not broken down with panels in any way—it is an entirely flat surface.
Some home decorating professionals suggest panel doors because they offer a simple pattern that is attractive and that adds dimension to interior design. Conversely, other more modern-leaning decorators may tell you to stick with a flush door because the flat design is simple, easy on the eye, and can be decorated any way you choose with no interruption of lines or other details.
Beyond Flush and Panel: Modern, Rustic, and Other Door Design Styles
Once you have chosen between a panel and flush door, there are still plenty of decisions to make. At ETO Doors, we carry a huge variety of interior doors in both flush and panel designs, and one important part of choosing the right interior doors for your home will have to do with whether your interior is ultra-modern, modern, contemporary, rustic, or another style. Our selection of modern and ultra-modern doors tends to walk a thin line between flush and panel doors—while models like the Bentley and Movida are both considered flush doors, both offer four “floating” horizontal panels. These are not panels in the traditional sense, but the flat landscape of the doors are broken up to offer more dimension and a more dynamic look.
Conversely, models like the knotty alder 1-Panel Shaker Door and the knotty alder 2-Panel Arched Door bring a much more rustic look to the home interior.
In either case, you can see just by reviewing these door styles in our catalog that any one of them will dramatically impact the look of your whole home interior. For this reason, it’s smart to view all that we offer so you choose interior doors that work well with the existing design and style of your home.
Choosing the Right Wood Species for Your Home’s Interior
The type of wood you choose for your interior doors will have a dramatic impact on the appearance of every entryway in your home, and indeed, will shape the entire interior space. If you choose a color wood too dark for your interior, it could make space seem dark and macabre. On the other hand, if you choose a wood or fiberglass that’s too light, the interior doors could easily clash with the rest of the decor and the walls of your home. Because home interiors are so different, what appears too dark in one home could be perfect for the next one. That’s why it’s important to review all the wood styles we bring you in our online catalog of interior doors. We’ve made it easy for you by breaking down our selection of interior doors by wood type, including mahogany, Brazilian mahogany, knotty alder, walnut, Douglas fir, and more.
