Are these doors any good?

Cushtie

I'm thinking of getting the doors here for my current house.

Are they any good? Either the Colonial or the Elliottis?

I will be living in the house for around two more years and then either selling it on or Renting it out so I don't want to go installing really expensive stuff.

the existing doors that were installed in the mid 80's are made of two light sheets stuck on either side of a Cardboard Honeycomb and they are desperate.

thanks

Without a data sheet ,its impossible to know if these are an engineered door, or a pressed veneered flush door.

At a guess I'd say they are an engineered door. This type of construction is , door material sections made from laminated 40 mm square sections, joined together to make the full size stiles, heads, rails. Then dowelled together, and veneered to give a pine appearence. A cheap alternative to solid timber doors, should serve the purpose you intend it for.

I Say Kadman,

Would you concur on a pair and a half of butt hinges for said Doors ?

It would be worth your while pricing solid timber doors before you finally make your mind up. You might not notice much difference in price. I got a load of them on special offer a little while back for 45 euros each.

I see Ganleys in Athlone are offering mortice and tenon, 6 panel regency pine doors +hinges, handles, lock all for 59 euros.

Hard to beat
