Why Internal Glazed Doors?

Why internal glazed doors are ideal for Your Home Glazed doors aren’t just reserved for your patio – sliding and bifold doors can bring tons of light into your home and provide a seamless connection to the outdoors. So, it stands to reason that adding glass to your internal doors will bring that same connection through to the rest of your house, adding lots of light along the way. Here, we’ll outline some of the benefits of choosing glazed internal doors. Light-filled home Glazed panels on your internal doors – or even fully glass doors – can help the flow of light throughout your home. If you’ve got an open-plan kitchen-diner, then adding a glazed door to the hallway and perhaps a snug at the front of the house will allow natural light to filter into those darker spaces. Bear in mind that you might need to specify frosted glass or obscure glass if you’re adding a glazed door to a private space. A Shaker-style door with solid panels on the lower half and glass on the upper portion could work to hide away any mess – perhaps in a playroom – but still allow light (and a watchful eye) in. Style options There’s so much flexibility when it comes to glazed internal doors. Often, your internal doors will be made from timber, rather than metal, which is a durable and robust material that can be styled in different ways. From traditional stained units that show off the natural grain to painted doors in white or black for modern minimalism. You can go for industrial-style doors that have all the charm of Crittall steel, but without the price tag. Or, choose a traditional-looking glazed door that matches your entrance with glazed panels on the top half, only. From Victorian and Shaker-style doors to contemporary styles, there’s a glazed internal door to suit your taste and interior style. Broken-plan appeal The pandemic has taught us the value of closed-off spaces. Where open-plan layouts with very few doors have been popular over the last 10 years or so, the need for flexible working spaces and a bit of separation has seen broken-plan floorplans gain popularity. That means you might install doors that tend to stay open but can be closed off when needed. Glazed doors can work particularly well at keeping spaces feeling connected, while offering the separation of a solid door. There’s even internal bifolding ones to help keep that feel of openness. A glazed door leading to a home office, for example, means that your working space still benefits from borrowed light from other areas, but you’re not distracted by conversations in the kitchen – provided you’ve got decent acoustic insulation. If the office doubles as a secondary living space, it helps to close this off when guests are around to keep the open-plan zones from becoming too noisy – but you can still see everyone. At Online Door Store, we offer a range of internal door styles, and many of the glazed ones on our website have solid counterparts in a matching style, so you can keep the same look throughout your home.
