The product range includes a variety of options, such as softwood door linings for single doors and pairs, as well as internal solid oak door linings with an FD30 fire rating, which provides enhanced safety.
How is an interior door constructed differently from an exterior door?
Interior doors are lighter and thinner than exterior doors and often have a hollow core. Honeycombed core doors offer greater sound resistance and thermal insulation, making them a better option than hollow core doors. Exterior doors provide a secure barrier between a building’s interior and the outdoors and are typically constructed with insulation. Steel doors typically have foam cores to regulate temperature. Interior doors can also have insulation, but honeycombed doors offer some thermal insulation. Solid core construction can provide moderate draft protection.
What type of door construction is typically used for interior doors?
Flush doors and panel doors are the two most common types of interior doors. Flush doors are the simplest type, with a flat surface and no detailing or raised area. They are inexpensive and simple to match with other doors or home décor. They come in solid and hollow core options and are lightweight for easy hanging and use. Flush doors can be matched with various stains or paints, making them a versatile choice for any home. Both options offer a variety of styles and prices to suit your preferences.
Are hollow core doors better than MDF?
Solid core doors are made of molded composite or plywood exterior skin and a wood fiber blend inside, providing more durability and noise reduction than hollow core doors.

Who makes good quality interior doors?
Interior doors are primarily used at entrances in residential houses, and come in various forms like swing, sliding, and folding doors. They come in various shapes, features like glass, colors, and materials. They can also be used in office buildings and commercial facilities, but are commonly used as “facility-specific doors”. Their primary uses include providing access to the home, enhancing privacy, and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the space.
Are interior and exterior door frames the same?
Interior and exterior door frames are distinct in their design and intended purpose. Exterior doors are constructed with durability and energy efficiency in mind, whereas interior doors are not. Exterior doors are designed with the objective of retaining heat within a building and preventing the ingress of cold air, whereas interior doors are designed to maintain a balance between maintaining warmth and preventing the ingress of cold air.
Is Jeld-Wen a good brand?
JELD-WEN offers a range of energy-efficient windows, including NGBS Green Certified and ENERGY STAR-certified options.

With over a dozen product lines, JELD-WEN caters to various styles, but does not manufacture garden or glass block windows, making them a more suitable choice for homeowners.
How are internal doors constructed?
Masonite, a wood fiberboard material, is commonly used in interior doors due to its affordability, stability, and ease of painting. However, it is not as strong as wood and may not provide the best insulation due to its hollow design. When selecting materials for doors, it is crucial to balance strength and stability. For example, plywoods and composite boards like MDF are stable but not as strong as wood, which can fall apart over time. Wood, on the other hand, is strong but can warp and cause door problems.
For furniture grade hardwood, such as maple or poplar, is an excellent choice. Pine lumber, which is not as dry and stable as furniture grade wood, is a better option. The dimensional lumber from hardware stores is less dried, making it more prone to warping, which is not desirable for doors.
In conclusion, selecting the right materials for doors can significantly impact their quality and functionality. It is essential to choose a durable and stable material that is not only affordable but also offers the best insulation and durability.
Are interior doors thinner than exterior doors?
Interior and exterior doors differ in thickness, materials, styles, and appearance. Interior doors are typically thinner, around 40mm thick, while exterior doors require an extra thick core to keep out heat and cold. They are typically made from lighter-weight materials like wood, aluminium, and glass, while exterior doors are made from heavy steel or multiple construction layers for better durability, insulation, and weather resistance.
Interior doors can come in styles like hinged, sliding, and bi-fold, and may feature decorative panels. Exterior doors, on the other hand, are more durable and weather-resistant, often in hinged or sliding styles.
What are JELD-WEN interior doors made of?
JELD-WEN® molded interior doors are manufactured from sustainable materials, including sawmill chips, field chips, and residual wood, utilizing by-products from other operations.

An important thing to do on all doors is replace the short screws from the hinges and strike plates with long screws to bind it to the wood of the wall. The short screws only grab into the door frame so any force on the door when closed is transferred to the frame and not the structure of the wall. For exterior doors you can get hardening kits that put steel in key places to make the door harder to kick open by spreading the impacts over a larger area. After seeing the insanity that is people stealing power the way you have it setup is nothing. I have seen everything from cheap jumper cables to sections of pipe used to jump the power meters socket
You are creating a mold trap around your tube the wall board was supposed to go over that flange once that was sealed and painted any condensation would run down the wall and into the shower and not behind the wall where it will form mold go find a article on proper shower installation before you close the wall up. You are setting yourself up for real problems from the start.
Really the trim is your preference. Although I did notice the island top is finished now an it is stained dark. Often designers will carry over what’s in the kitchen to the bathroom. Since you have a one piece sink and shower in the bathroom you’re left with floor and trim to tie it altogether. So, one way to give the calm flow throughout the house would be via the trim work. Another would be paint color. For example if you paint the island base a different color and then carry that color into the bathroom. Another would be backsplash tiling matching that of the kitchen. So, my suggestion is to keep that idea in mind and see where it leads you once y’all get to the finishes. I believe you’ll then know what direction y’all prefer.
My brother did one of my interior doors and he started with the top part first. But you did what you did and it looks like it worked👍🏽👍🏽 I’d go with a darker stain, you said you want it to look like a cabin🙂 Edit: darker colour you won’t notice it fast if it gets dirty. A white/light colour you’ll notice it right away
You can get those door stops that install in the hinges of the door which are adjustable or the for the wall we have both types on entrance doors and others doors as well. Go straight across for the rustic look…oh LOL you heard me too funny!! It would be nice to have a towel bar with some nice towels for company and get one of those hangers for the back of the door that has 4 hooks for your towels so people don’t see them would be nice. Suggestion blue tape or duct tape that bathroom power cord on the floor to prevent tripping YIKES you can always rip it up later PLEASE??? GREAT JOB on door and trim et al. God bless lookin good lol.
the reason why the striker was too thick it’s because you can take one of the two out to make it thinner. It’s ALL in the manual 😉. You would of save a little time and risk of cutting yourself using the wrong tools. Chisels are crazy cheap at Lowes or HD and you’ll need them for so many finishing tasks. Take the advise from a guy that does that for living.
Great job on installing the bathroom door . I would stain the trim a bit on the darker side . I would use a gun stock stain . It’s not too dark or light . The varnished wood doesn’t go right with all of the light coloured walls . I’d use the heavy vinyl trim around the shower walls . You call it a cabin but it’s more like an Off Grid House . Any how it’s your call .
My parents have the rim up on the top of the shower like you do. They did wood all around the shower like you have spoken about but they put a shelf from one side of the shower to the other on that top rim. The piece of 2×6 has 2 coats of polyurethane and has been there for at least 20 years. It give you a massive amount of space without taking up the entire shower.
I’m in the same situation Martin. My electric is a mess too. A good mess. I feel good with the gfci breaker as well at the main. But I do keep in the back of my mind the fear of electricity. I couldn’t imagine waking up in the middle of the night and one of my kids trap in a fire, in a room. Or myself. It’s a good fear to have. Like I have with my savior Jesus Christ. Making me do better at life.
Well done, Marty! I am truly and regularly impressed with how you’ve tackled, head-on, this huge project of building a home for your family, let alone, an off-grid home! I doubt many of us could have done as well as you have! I hope the “helpful” input from all of us “arm-chair quarterbacks” doesn’t ever discourage you! May you and your wonderful family continue to reap God’s blessing in the “strangest and foreign land” that is rural northern Idaho!
