Characteristics Of Membrane & Flush Doors Are They Ideal For Indian Homes?

The way we design our interiors is changing. Several homeowners across many cities throughout the country have started investing in membrane doors and flush wooden door designs for their interiors.

But what is a flush interior door? A flush door is a regular flat door which is not divided into mouldings or sections or panels. It is a smooth surface which does not have any bumps. A flush door is typically free / devoid of any interruptions and protrusions. The entire wooden framework is covered by a solid ply, natural wood or an MDF board. Usually the covering is done on both the sides to give it a very smooth and aesthetic appearance. There are certain hollow portions on the inside which can be filled with lighter materials such as cardboard and wooden shavings. A flush door therefore becomes a heavier variety of doors that can withstand impact and adverse weather conditions. It is available in a wide variety of colours and finishes, designs and textures. The most prominent aspect about these flush entry doors and designs that is visible from a distance is the degree of elegance that they add to your interiors. You will be able to spot a beautiful and classy looking flush door very easily from far away.

What Are The Primary Differences Between A Flush Door And A Wooden Panel Door?

  • If we look at wooden panel doors / contemporary doors that we already have in our home, they are manufactured with traditional wood joiners. You will find these in almost every traditional / old construction. 
  • Flush wooden doors on the other hand come with a solid wooden framework which is filled with solid core materials. The entire framework is finished off with top quality plywood. They may also be available in laminate, paint and veneer surfaces to match your interiors.
  • Traditional wooden panel doors are much more expensive than flush doors / membrane doors. Therefore, if you are on a budget, the latter would be a more practical choice.
  • If you are looking for high quality insulation, flush doors are the way to go. They also offer relatively higher levels of sound proofing which makes them a preferred choice for musicians, artists, your very own in-house rock band started by your kids, and they would suit you well if you're a teacher or a student looking for some peaceful time to practice your lessons.
  • Safety concerns are addressed well with a wooden flush door because these are highly fire resistant. When you compare them with traditional wooden panel doors, you will find that the latter is more prone to fire.
  • Flush door designs and surfaces are much easier to manufacture. They are usually made in factories and come in precise measurements out of which you will have to make a choice. Depending upon the size and thickness of the door that is suitable for your walls, you will have to pick a particular kind of door that will suit your interiors the best. 

There is very little detailing and fabrication required when it comes to manufacturing flush doors.

So, you are ready to make a choice now. What is it going to be?
