Many of us may love open-plan living, but in reality, being able to close off certain areas of our home can be a real benefit. Internal doors can successfully shut off that home office, playroom or teenage den, or simply prevent cooking smells from lingering around the home.
But, when dividing rooms with internal doors, you don’t want to limit the amount of light that flows freely around them. Glazed internal doors, while dividing space, don’t banish rooms into darkness; they allow light to bounce around the floorplan.
Here’s how and why choosing glazed internal doors could be the right choice for your home.
1. They can flood the space with natural light
If you’ve got a large opening between two or more rooms, then think about going bespoke with your glazed doors to choose a configuration that will flood the space with as much light as possible.
Combine a glazed single internal door with a fixed screen either side, and top; choose French doors for a more traditional style; combine a single door with a corner post to create a corner set or choose a fixed glazed screen – a great choice if you don't need a doorway to demarcate a hallway and a living room but just want to encourage lots of natural light to bathe the space.
2. You can add character with glazing bars
If you’re looking for a modern glazed internal door but you’d like a classic twist, choose glazing bars to add depth and character. You could opt for vertical and horizontal bars for a heritage-inspired look or, if it’s a more contemporary style that you’re after, select less vertical bars for a sleek, slimline design.
3. You can choose reeded or plain glass for privacy
If you’d like to use a glazed internal door to divide up a utility room or bathroom, for example, choose reeded or frosted glass for privacy. That way, the partition will still allow light to flow through, but privacy won’t be compromised.
4. Pick powder-coated aluminium frames offer longevity
Heritage style doors have been synonymous with steel but premium grade aluminium glazed door frames give you the look for less. You'll get a smooth, flawless, and effortless operation. Plus, if the glazed door frames and bars are powdercoated, they’ll withstand the everyday excitement and vigour of family life!
