1. Dutch Doors
A dutch door is a type of exterior door often chosen for entry-point doors.
They are split in half, so the top and bottom operate independently. Dutch
doors are ideal for a kitchen to let air in, or as the door to the patio for
letting pets or kids out.

2. French Doors
Untimely elegant French doors are statement-making. They’re double

doors that are mainly composed of glass panes. The two doors open inward
and can open together or independently. French doors are usually used as
exterior doors since they give rooms plenty of extra light. Still, they’re
useful for dividing rooms without enclosing the space, so it helps the living
space appear more spacious.
3. Bifold Doors
Bifold doors are usually lightweight interior doors that fold toward the user.
As the doors fold, they simultaneously slide open, which is why they’re
commonly used to cover closets, utility rooms and kitchens. However, some
modern bifold doors made of glass and steel frames can be great options for
exteriors.

4. Hinged Doors
These are what most people know as passage doors. These doors have one
end installed on hinges so they can swing to and from the room. It’s likely
that every room in your home already has a hinged door installed.
5. Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are exterior doors used on the back or side of the house,
usually opening onto a patio or a deck. But sliding doors can also find their
way onto the interior of the house in closets, utility rooms or pantries. They
move on a track as you push them open so they don’t protrude on space at
all.

6. Pocket Doors
Pocket doors are very similar to sliding doors, but these disappear into a
wall when they’re open. They’re perfect for powder rooms, closets and
bathrooms. Pocket doors move on a track into a door slab contained within
a “pocket” or hollow space in the wall.
7. Barn Doors
Traditionally meant for exterior use, barn doors make a statement indoors
as they’ve become a mainstay in modern farmhouse-style homes. Barn
doors are often made of wood that hangs from a track outside the room.
They’re a popular option for bathrooms, kitchens and hallways.

8. Pivot Doors
Pivot doors turn on two rotates on the top and bottom of the door. When
they open, the panel looks like it’s part of the wall design, giving it a
modern style. Pivot doors are available in many materials because the
frame is designed to support heavier loads (which also means they’re great
for front doors).
9. Saloon Doors
Though not as popular anymore, saloon doors are quite tactical. They’re
designed to allow for ventilation while still covering up what’s behind them.
Saloon doors have bi-directional hinges and no door handles, so one could
easily walk through them, even while holding items, which makes them
ideal for kitchens and dining rooms.

10. Roller Doors
Roller doors, also known as sectional overhead doors, are mainly used for
garages and storage facilities. However, they’re starting to become interior
doors as they can add a statement to living room spaces, for example. Roller
doors don’t require much space and are available in different materials that
can easily match your house’s style. They roll up to the ceiling when
opened.

Door Types by Materials
Another way to look at the different types of doors for your home is by
materials. Each has its benefits and disadvantages, depending on where you
want to use them.
1. Wood Doors
Wood has long been the material of choice for exterior doors, but it’s
making its way indoors. They are a classic choice that can be used anywhere
in the house. And because they’re so easy to paint, tint or style, they can
easily adapt to your style and decor. Wood is a great choice for the front
door because of its high durability.
16 | P a g e
2. Steel Doors
Steel and other metals have been used for both indoors and exterior doors
for years. They can be a solid alternative for wood doors, as they can be
more economical options. Steel doors are enduring and require minimum
upkeep, offering a modern look that perfectly matches industrial interior
design vibes.
3. Fiberglass Doors
While some types of doors can be high maintenance, fiberglass doors

require low upkeep, are super durable, have high insulation and are
resistant to dents. These doors come painted or with wood panels, making
them excellent options both for interior or exterior doors. Fiberglass doors
offer high flexibility as they can be carefully designed to match a desired
aesthetic.

4. Aluminum Doors
Aluminum doors are becoming a staple in modern-looking homes. They

can be placed in different settings to be either hinged or sliding doors.
Aluminum is exceptionally versatile and aluminum doors can make an
aesthetic impact in any room, from the front door to the bedroom and
beyond.
5. Glass Doors
Glass doors are mainly panels of glass set into wood, steel, or aluminum
frames. These are always used either at the back or side of the house to let
natural light come through. Front doors can also gesture glass, however,
you need to ensure privacy with curtains or sanding the glass.
18 | P a g e
6. Battened and Ledged Doors
Battened and ledged doors have been around for decades. They have
vertical wood battens with horizontal ledges. They can be either braced or
framed for a more stern look. These doors work well for bathrooms, hallway
closets and utility rooms.
7. Flush Doors
Flush doors have an entirely smooth surface made of medium-density

fiberboard or plywood. They have a very affordable price range and offer
high durability. Flush doors are very reasonable in price, which is why
they’re used in many homes. They are excellent choices for bathroom doors,
toilet doors or utility rooms indoors.
