Flush Door Buying Guide

Quick answer

For flush doors, confirm four things: the construction and core, the exact size against your frame, the surface finish you intend to apply, and the hardware the door must carry. Doors for bathrooms and other wet areas need a moisture-suited option.

Construction and core

Flush doors are built around a core with facings on both sides. The core affects weight, rigidity and how the door feels when it swings. Ask what core a door uses and how it is intended to be used before comparing options on price alone.

Size and frame fit

  • Measure the frame opening accurately, in both directions
  • Account for the floor finish and clearance at the bottom
  • Check the frame is square before ordering
  • Confirm whether trimming is permitted on the door you choose

Finish options

LaminatedWide range of shades, easy to maintain
VeneeredNatural wood face, usually polished on site
Plain / ready to finishPainted or polished as per design

Hardware and installation

  • Heavier doors need appropriately rated hinges
  • Decide the lock type before the door is machined
  • Plan door stoppers and closers where doors swing hard

Wet areas

Bathroom and utility doors face constant humidity. Choose a door intended for those conditions and make sure edges and cut-outs are properly sealed during installation.
