DOORS

Doors offer privacy and a way to divide the floor plan of your home, and they can also be an important design element. On Lowes.com, you can explore popular types of interior doors and find ways to separate rooms in style.

DOORS

If you want a traditional interior door that swings from hinges on one side, you can choose between a slab door or prehung doors. A slab, which is simply the door itself, comes without hinges, other hardware or a frame. Prehung interior doors come already fitted with hinges and with a hole predrilled in preparation for a handle. Some prehung doors may come with a frame or door casing.

Choose from a variety of materials, including wood and glass. For a truly vintage or a distressed look, consider an interior barn door made from reclaimed wood. For a more modern style, look for glass interior doors.

French doors are a classic design for both interior and exterior use. You typically see French doors as a set of double doors that feature glass panels framed by wood. They often also have a wooden grill that gives the glass panel the look of small windowpanes. Interior French doors are a great choice if you want to separate two spaces but still want them to feel connected, as the glass will allow you to see into the next room.

Your home's exterior doors can contribute significantly to air leakage, and can also waste energy through conduction, especially if it's old, uninsulated, improperly installed, and/or improperly air sealed. Weatherstripping can reduce the energy losses due to air leakage.

When selecting doors for energy efficiency, it's important to first consider their energy performance ratings in relation to the local climate and your home's design. This will help narrow your selection. Look for the ENERGY STAR label to help identify energy efficient products for your climate.

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) label helps you compare energy performance ratings of doors. The label shows the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and U-factor for the door. Learn more about the NFRC label.

The R-values of most steel and fiberglass-clad entry doors range from R-5 to R-6, excluding a window. For example, a 1-1/2 inch (3.81 cm) thick door without a window offers more than five times the insulating value of a solid wood door of the same size.

Single-pane glass or "patio" doors, especially sliding glass doors, lose much more heat than other types of doors because glass is a very poor insulator. Models with several layers of glass, low-emissivity coatings, and/or low-conductivity gases between the glass panes are a good investment. Most modern glass doors with metal frames have a thermal break, which is a plastic insulator between inner and outer parts of the frame. When buying or replacing patio doors, swinging doors generally offer a tighter seal than sliding types. Look at NFRC labels to find air leakage ratings. A door with one fixed panel will have less air leakage than a door with two operating panels.

It's impossible to stop all the air leakage around the weatherstripping on a sliding glass door and still be able to use the door. In addition, after years of use the weatherstripping wears down, so air leakage increases as the door ages. If the manufacturer has made it possible to do so, you can replace worn weatherstripping on sliding glass doors.

When you buy a door, it will probably be pre-hung. Pre-hung doors usually come with wood or steel frames. You will need to remove an existing doorframe from the rough opening before you install a pre-hung door. The doorframe must be as square as possible, so that the door seals tightly to the jamb and swings properly.

Storm door frames are usually made of aluminum, steel, fiberglass, or wood (painted or not). Wooden storm doors require more maintenance than the other types. Metal-framed storm doors might have foam insulation inside their frames for added strength.

High-quality storm doors use low-emissivity (low-e) glass or glazing to increase energy efficiency. Other features may include screens with self-storing pockets, full-length screens with removable glass panels, and screens and glass that slide past each other. All of these features add convenience and cost.

Storm doors for patio doors are hard to find, but they are available. Adding one to a new, multi-glazed low-e door is seldom economic. Insulating attachments such as cellular shades, when closed for the night in winter or on sunny days in summer, are also a good idea.

These beautiful exterior doors come in several styles, including traditional French doors and sliding patio doors, and can be customized with a variety of hardware styles and finishes, grille patterns, and interior stains.
