Choosing the Right Interior Door 101


Selecting the right door to complement your new construction, renovation or decorating project is very important. A new door is just the finishing touch that will dramatically bring your project to life. Masonite makes choosing the right door easy by offering a broad range of door designs that are almost certain to meet any architectural style or application requirements.

 

Paint or Stain?

 

Start by choosing whether your décor calls for a painted or stained door. If it's a painted look you want, select any Masonite interior door. They can all be painted. Masonite's Molded Panel, Flush or CrownT MDF doors are most commonly specified for painted applications. If you'd rather stain your doors, then choose from a wide array of wood species in Masonite's Wood Panel or French Door Series. No matter which you choose, you'll be adding the finishing touch to your decorating project.
 

Choose Your Style

Masonite knows that the right door and the right design can make all the difference. That's why we have a design to perfectly fit your new construction, decorating or renovation plans. From traditional to contemporary, rustic or craftsman style, we have exactly what you need. Masonite doors are available in a variety of design options from the Traditional 6-Panel, to our patented PalazzoT Series or beautiful glazed hardwood French doors. Choose the door that best complements your home's architectural style and application.

 
Choose Your Construction
 

Our wood panel, wood French and CrownT MDF doors already feature an engineered, solid, stile & rail construction. However, if you've chosen a Molded Panel or Flush door for your project, you may also select a solid or hollow core construction. This will allow you to choose and install the door that is best for you and your family or application. Solid core doors are most durable. They have the heft and feel of a solid wood door and provide superior sound transmission properties for extra privacy - especially for bed and bathrooms. Fire-rated doors also require solid core construction (not all solid core doors are fire rated).
 


Molded Panel doors
come in 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" thickness with hollow core or Masonite's patented Safe 'N Sound?Construction

Flush doors come either with a 1-3/8" thickness with a hollow core or particleboard core or a 1-3/4" thickness with a hollow core, particleboard core, wood stave core, mineral core, fire-rated doors are also available.
