  1. What A Door Is And What Its Types Are? A door is a moveable barrier that separates the inside of a structure from the outside. A door also separates each area from each other thereby segregating the living from the sleeping, recreation and the utility areas. Doors are part of house's decor. There are two basic types of door according to construction: panel door and hollow-core door. The two methods of construction can both be applied to interior and exterior doors. Panel doors are from pieces of solid timber. The rails and stiles are joined together by using tenor or mortise joints. The number of panels depends on the design of the door.

  2. However the construction is standard with full height stiles at each side with top and bottom rails where the bottom rail wider than the upper rail. The solid timber stiles and rails make it easy to trim the door to fit an opening. Panel doors are expensive as they are made of kiln dried and air dried timber. They are good to be used as oak external doors. The process is necessary to minimize the wood's tendency to warp, shrink, swell and crack. MDF or medium density fibre board is a good alternative to solid wood panel door. It is an engineered wood product that is manufactured in sheets then milled same as hardwood. MDF has a high density tight flat surface that can be painted. It is an inexpensive alternative to hardwood. Hollow-Core Doors are typically made of wood frames with thin veneer plywood (1/8" to ¼" thick) or hardboard faces. These doors are inexpensive and lightweight and prone to perforations and are not effective as sound barriers. However, the surfaces are ready for paint or stain and can easily be replaced. This type of door is recommended for glazed interiors doors only as they are as durable as panel doors. The core is usually honeycomb cores that are faced with thin plywood veneers that are susceptible to punctures.
