Interior Doors

PATJOE

Had settled on white shaker style doors for interior doors but changing my mind lately. Want a clean modern style door in white and some are recommending flush doors...

What are others going fr?

Hi,

currently trying to decide what internal doors to go with and we were thinking about Walnut from the Deanta range or something similar. We were considering going to Northern Ireland to collect doors, has anyone done this and who did you use?

Any information would be greatly welcomed.

Going with the deanta shaker myself (mixture of solid, glazed and frosted)

Liking the look of the HP1 range on this page though.... and still might switch...

Depends on the number of floors.
3 = yes

(Assuming you mean in a single family house and not an apartment).

2 storey = no requirement for fire doors unless you make the attic space accessible.

I was just wondering if anyone has used Walnut doors and skirting and what the result was. Just worried that it will look quite dark when we're finished

We have a fair bit of natural light and don't want to go with the current trend of white/ cream everywhere.

Doors in NI are metric sizes , you will need to have the frames fitted to suit

We got them to include the hardware free...dont think they deliver tho as we had to enlist a friend with a trailer to collect a few days later.

Thanks for that was looking at that site and seems reasonable. I'll be able to get a trailer sorted no problem.

What's the story with vat in the north, did you have to pay it?

Pop down stairs?

Generally no, but speak to your Engineer/Architect/Surveyor to determine how it is being signed off.

Has anyone seen lava grey doors with white skirting

Did not realise that picking internal doors would be such a headache.

Any tips would be welcomed. This picture is what I was thinking. But pictures of show rooms and real houses are much different.

We went with walnut doors, white skirting/architrave and grey walls, very pleased with the results.

Thanks for that, looks really well. We were thinking of going with the grey flooring with walnut skirting and architrave but that looks really good

The wife is worried the white skirting will need a lot of maintenance and that she'll be the one cleaning it!

Ours gets no maintenance, it's still very white even with a stove in the lounge

Not getting at you but do you have a construction professional on board?
You shouldnt have to find out this stuff yourself from the internet.

I mean people are involved in new builds and they have to come on here asking very basic building regulation compliance questions.
Do they have professionals certifying the works?
If so, the professionals must be of the 'take the money and sign the cert type'.

Or the professionals have signed the cert because the build is compliant because fire doors aren't required.
Or the poster just wants to confirm fire doors aren't required.
Or the poster is thinking about replacing the doors.....
Or the poster is just curious.

Sorry for going O/T, just trying to suggest there's a few circumstances where asking the question here is appropriate.

that’s the very reason we should know whether a professional is on board or not

So often we are not given sufficient context.

Poster said he was involved in new build. There is no excuse for someone being at the point of picking doors in a new build and having to query the building regulafion requirements on a forum. Was there any professional involvement. Any input into door widths re part M?
Im not getting at the poster here. Its the level of service being provided by professional that im concerned about.

I'm forward planning, not at that point yet, just was looking at doors and when the thread was up I asked, yea I could have asked engineer too. Thanks for your concern
