Inside doors for every UK home
Internal doors define how a home flows between rooms. The right inside doors balance style, sound reduction, daylight and the practicalities of daily use. Get the choice right and the doors barely register because they belong. Get it wrong and they look like the previous owner’s compromise for the next 20 years.
We supply inside doors and interior doors across our Northamptonshire installation area, with the full style range covering panelled, shaker, flush, glazed interior doors, internal sliding doors and internal double doors configurations.
Internal doors come in several style families that suit different property types and interior schemes.
Panel doors are the traditional UK interior door style. A 4 panel door has two pairs of stacked panels. A 4-panel room door configuration suits Victorian, Edwardian and most 20th century properties. 6 panel doors and 6 panel interior doors give a more decorative profile, common in 1930s and 1950s homes. 2 panel doors are the simpler option suiting Georgian and contemporary properties. 3 panel door and 5 panel door configurations sit between the standard options for specific period properties.
Shaker inside doors have flat panels framed by simple rails and stiles. The understated profile suits modern, contemporary and period properties equally well. Shaker has been the dominant new build internal door style for over a decade.
Glazed internal doors let light flow between rooms. A glass panel door is commonly specified between kitchen and hallway, between living room and dining room, or in any room that would otherwise feel dark. Clear glass works where you want maximum light. Frosted or textured glass gives privacy. Glazed designs are the second-most requested category after solid panelled doors after solid panelled.
Cottage-style doors typically have… a ledged-and-braced construction with horizontal boards. The look suits cottages, period rural properties and rooms going for a traditional rustic aesthetic. Often paired with cast iron furniture rather than brass.
Flush internal doors have a smooth face with no visible panel detail. Modern flush doors suit contemporary properties, hotels and apartments. The finish is usually a wood veneer, painted MDF or laminate.
The standard internal door construction. An engineered timber frame with veneer or paint-finish surfaces, typically with a hollow or honeycomb core for light weight, or a solid core for better sound reduction. Most of our interior range uses engineered timber construction because it stays flat over decades without warping.
Solid core interior doors weigh more, reduce sound transfer between rooms more effectively, and feel heavier when opening and closing. Recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms where sound matters, and for upmarket interior schemes where the door action is part of the experience.
Solid wood doors and interior wood doors are the premium internal door option. Made from solid timber rather than engineered cores, they offer the heaviest action and best sound reduction. The trade-off is higher cost and the need to allow for seasonal timber movement during installation.
The standard configuration. One door hinged on one side, opening into the room. Most UK internal doorways use single doors.
Internal double doors and interior double doors open up the full width of an opening. Common between living and dining rooms, between kitchens and snugs, or as feature doors into formal rooms. The double-door look adds presence to an interior.
Internal bifold doors fold back to one side rather than hinging open. Used where floor space for a hinged door arc isn’t available, particularly in narrow hallways, wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms. Folding interior door configurations work well for room dividers between open-plan spaces.
Internal sliding door systems slide along a track rather than hinging. Pocket doors slide into a wall cavity for a fully-recessed finish. Interior sliding doors and surface-mounted sliding doors slide along an exposed track. Used where space is tight or for design statements in contemporary properties.
A single full-length glass panel for shaker doors gives maximum daylight transfer. Twin glass panels in upper sections of traditional panelled doors keep the lower half solid. Fully glazed designs for contemporary interiors maximise the visual connection between rooms.
Internal double doors with glass work particularly well between dining rooms and living rooms where you want to open up the full width without losing the daylight flow when the doors are closed.
For configurations involving the 4 panel sliding glass door layout, the sliding action combines with a glazed look for properties wanting both daylight and the contemporary sliding aesthetic.
Standard UK internal door sizes are 762mm × 1981mm (2’6″ × 6’6″) and 838mm × 2032mm (2’9″ × 6’8″) for most homes. We also supply 686mm × 1981mm (2’3″ × 6’6″) narrow doors for cupboards and small openings, and Part M extra-wide widths up to 950mm for accessibility-compliant installations.
Custom interior doors and non-standard sizes are available as made-to-measure orders, typically with an additional 2 to 3 weeks lead time over standard sizes.
The most popular interior doors in the UK are oak internal doors in shaker or 4 panel configurations, with white inside doors as the second most-requested style. Glazed room doors come third, particularly between kitchens and hallways. Modern interior doors in grey or black are growing fastest in contemporary properties.
Solid wood doors are made entirely from timber and offer the heaviest action, best sound reduction and longest lifespan, at the highest cost. Engineered timber internal doors use a frame and veneer construction over a solid or hollow core, weigh less, cost less, and stay flat over decades without warping.
Standard UK internal door sizes are 762mm × 1981mm (2'6" × 6'6") for most rooms and 838mm × 2032mm (2'9" × 6'8") for wider openings. Narrow inside doors at 686mm × 1981mm suit cupboards. Part M extra-wide widths up to 950mm meet accessibility requirements for new builds.
Yes, internal doors with glass are a good idea where you want light to flow between rooms. Glazed room doors are particularly useful between kitchens and hallways, between living and dining rooms, and in any room that would otherwise feel dark. Frosted glass gives privacy where needed.
Internal doors cost £80 to £600 each depending on style and material. Cheap inside doors start around £80 for hollow-core white panel doors. Mid-range oak room doors sit at £150 to £250. Premium solid wood interior doors and custom configurations run £400 to £600. Fitting adds £75 to £150 per door.
4 panel internal doors have four flat or raised panels framed by rails and stiles, arranged in two pairs stacked vertically. The 4 panel door style is the most traditional UK interior door layout, suiting Victorian, Edwardian and most 20th century properties. Available in oak, white, grey, black and the full RAL palette.
Yes, internal bifold doors work well as room dividers between open-plan spaces, between kitchens and dining areas, or as folding doors interior configurations for opening up larger rooms. Folding doors internal designs typically have 2 to 6 panels depending on the opening width.
The best material for solid core interior doors is engineered timber with a high-density chipboard or particleboard core. This delivers the weight and sound reduction of solid timber at a lower cost, with better dimensional stability over decades than fully-solid wood internal doors.
