- ebuild Guide to Interior Door Specifications
- ebuild (12/19/2006)
- Finish carpentry details can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of a house interior, but few have as much visual and functional impact as an interior door. A typical two-story house can easily have 18 or more interior doors of various configurations, and most of them are used regularly. Homeowners often focus their praise on doors they find appealing, or their ire on doors that operate poorly or don't match the style of the house. Interior doors come in a wide variety of woods, construction types, sizes and formats. In the broadest terms, they can be categorized either as panel doors or flush doors.

- ebuild (12/18/2006)
- Patio doors provide convenient access with significant advantages over standard entry doors: patio doors are fully glazed to expand the view while flooding interior spaces with natural light. While old-style patio doors were notorious for heat loss, leakage, and poor security, modern doors offer significant improvements. Frames and glazing are more energy-efficient, many products incorporate multi-point locking mechanisms for better security, and sophisticated flashing packages prevent leakage. The two basic types of patio doors, sliding and hinged, offer distinct feature sets.
