Types of Door

FRENCH DOOR
Also called a French window, a French door has multiple windows (“lights”) set into the full length of the door. Traditional French doors are assembled from individual small pieces of glass and mullions. These doors are also known as true divided lite [sic] French doors. French doors made of double-pane glass (on exterior doors for insulation) may have a decorative grille embedded between the panes. With single pane doors, the grille may be superimposed on top of the glass.

LOUVER DOOR
Built with fixed or movable wooden fins (often called slats or louvers) which permit open ventilation whilst preserving privacy and preventing the passage of light to the interior. Being relatively weak structures, they are most commonly used for wardrobes and drying rooms, where security is of less importance than good ventilation. A very similar structure is commonly used to form window shutters.

FLUSH DOOR
A completely smooth door, having plywood or MDF fixed over a light timber frame, the hollow parts of which are often filled with a cardboard core material. Flush doors are most commonly employed internally, although slightly more substantial versions are occasionally used as exterior doors.

MOULDED DOOR
Has the same basic structure as a flush door. The only difference is that the surface material is a moulded skin made of HDF/MDF. Commonly used as interior doors.

LEDGE & BRACE DOOR
Made from multiple vertical planks fixed together by two horizontal planks (the ledges) and kept square by a diagonal plank (the brace).

GARDEN DOOR
Any door that opens to a garden or backyard. It is often used specifically for double French doors in place of a sliding glass door. In such a configuration, it has the advantage of a very large opening for moving large objects in and out.

PET DOOR
(also known as a dog door or cat flap)
An opening in a door to allow pets to enter and exit without the main door being opened. It may be simply covered by a rubber flap or it may be an actual door hinged at the top that the pet can push through. Pet doors may be mounted in a sliding glass door as a new (permanent or temporary) panel. Pet doors may be unidirectional, only allowing pets with a special electronic tag to enter.

WICKET DOOR
A normal sized door built into a much larger one, such as the gate of a city or castle.

BIFOLD DOOR
A door unit that has two to four sections, folding in pairs. The doors can open from either side for one pair, or fold off both sides for two pairs. Wood is the most common material and doors may also be metal or glass. Bifolds are most commonly made for closets, but may be used as units between rooms.

BYPASS DOOR
A door unit that has two or more sections. The doors can slide from each direction on an overhead track, sliding past each other. They are most commonly used in closets, in order to access one or more sides.
