Flush doors

We’ve talked about all sorts of doors – acoustic doors, steel doors, fire doors – and we’ve even talked about some of the most beautiful doors in the world! We’re now moving onto a different type of door (although there can be overlaps!) – the flush door. Let’s take a look at what they are.

Flush doors are simple door designs that have plain facings on both sides. They can be interior and exterior. They are often used where space is at a premium, and would probably be placed towards the “functional” end of the door design spectrum rather than the “style” end.

Flush doors may have a solid, hollow or stave core. If the core is solid – low density board often being used to fill the space within the door completely – it may be supplemented with a type of laminate or plywood on each side. Good for exterior/Interior doors as they provide more insulation and strength.

A flush door will consist of wooden slats stacked upon one another.

Solid flush doors are, by definition, heavier than the alternatives, but are usually a more suitable option when their function is to form a passage between two rooms.

Their design is straightforward. If they are intended to be mounted on tracks, the hardware will be recessed so that the doors can slide past one another. This type of design might be used in a closet.

The doors have a perfectly flush surface, hence their name.

Other uses of flush doors

In addition to what we might describe as “normal” or everyday uses, flush doors can also be used for more specialised purposes such as:

1. fire doors

2. acoustic doors

3. X-ray doors
