WOODEN DOORS

First things first, there is no door like a solid wood door. It can be panelled, framed or with glass. But a wooden door surely tops the list like no other. You may choose Teak, Deodar, Sheesham or Sal wood. Or you may buy a readymade skin to put up on a wooden board. As at times they might have steel bars structure inside, but the wooden covering makes them look rich and classic.

FIBRE GLASS DOORS

They perhaps are the most customisable kinds. Like wood, they won’t warp or fade, neither get scratched like a metal one. Can be more costly than wood at times but in the long run its totally worth the price. No polishing issues or noise. As it is waterproof and soundproof too.
BARN DOOR

At number 3 from the top 8 trending door options for your home, this one perhaps is the more eclectic one . Great if you have a big entry into the living room and you do not mind a bit of rustic look. These days there are many companies selling the fittings for this kind of a door. Ideal if you looking to stand out.
HIDDEN DOORS/POCKET DOORS

If you have an area which you wish to keep separate from the people wandering in your home, then this is it. You can go for a flush door with a wall kind of treatment or a pocket door that just vanishes inside the wall. Perfect for a man’s den or a wine cellar.

FLUSH DOORS

A flush door is a completely smooth door, having plywood or Medium Density Fiberboard fixed over timber frame which is comparatively light. The hollow core so obtained is often filled with a cardboard core material. Flush doors are commonly provided in houses these days due to the reasons of economy, pleasing appearance, durability etc and are commonly available in the market.
uPVC DOORS

With time theses have become the builders preferred choice. They do not warp or loose polish like a wooden door and the layer of galvanised steel makes them strong. They require minimum effort in the installation process and come in sound proof option as well. They are cheaper than wood and aluminium, also eco friendly. But watch out if you looking for a particular shade or the richness of the wood. As they still lack that.
ALUMINIUM DOORS

Aluminium is another metal that can be used for frames for doors and windows. It has the distinct advantage of resisting difficult environmental conditions. Being light in weight it transfers less loads to the foundations. Aluminum frames are not affected by termites and as such they are longer lasting.
STEEL MESH/SECURITY DOORS

There are many different variations to a mesh door. From the plastic mesh for insects, to the steel ones. However it is very common to have strong security door before the main entrance door. You would mostly find these in apartment housing societies. With time this aesthetically unappealing add on has changed. There are many ready made options that are not only strong but look beautiful too. The least you can do is to match the colour with the main door. Depending on the design, the material and the quality of the lock, the prices can vary a lot.
