Internal Door (Source)

May 07, 2013 6 Replies

My house has white moulded 6 panel doors (Colonist style??). Into my lounge I have a pair of doors where one is 30" and the other is 18" (the 18" door having 3 panels as it is sort of half a door)



I am having some alterations in my kitchen and would like to compliment this doorway by having a similar arrangement - but with glazed panels (30" and 18" doors again)



I have looked at all the usual suppliers and haven't found anything suitable and I am concerned that if I end up with something different then SWMBO will want all the downstairs doors changing.



Can anyone suggest a source?


Maybe change SWMBO then?

Howdens do a lot of different doors, if you can get past their 'trade only' status. Or get bespoke ones made by a joiner?

Howdens door brochure/book is available to anyone (no prices tho) tho offhand I don't recall any "specials" as described... Is there a Magnet in your area? probly a similar "trade only" pricing structure to navigate around tho..

I vaguely recall recenty seeing the narrower "half doors" as described in a catalogue, don;t know abt glazed ones tho?

Goggle XL Joinery, JB kind etc view online catalogues, if get lucky approach local (ideally independent) timber merchants & see if they want to play for sensible money?

Hoping to find a glazed version like this:

Looking at the picture they appear to be moulded, as in pressed hardboard over a cardboard honeycomb filling. Rather than a constructed door with panels. We wanted matching glazed doors here, fairly sure our joiner just removed the panels and supplied beading strips. Can't do that with a cardboard door...

Looking at ours removing the panels would require part of the frame moulding to be removed to form the rebate. The panels appear to fit into a groove in the frame, rather than held in place in a rebate with a bead.

IIRC lots of the big trade door suppliers will supply the likes of Jewson, so you can normally wander in there and get them to order for you...
