We all take a lot of pride in our homes, whether we realise it or not. Even if they\u2019re not always as tidy as they could be, most of us spend a lot of time and money in getting them looking exactly the way we want them to \u2013 and buying an internal door is a great way to determine the look and feel of our home. But when buying internal oak doors, it can sometimes be easy to make mistakes, especially if it\u2019s your first time! Here are some of the most common slip-ups we\u2019ve seen here at Savoy Timber, and our top tips on how to avoid them.<\/p>\n

1. Not Considering Doors As Part Of A Total Interior Budget<\/h2>\n

Fixing up your home can be an expensive task \u2013 no great secret there! But even if you\u2019re on a tight budget, your internal doors \u2013 whether they\u2019re glazed<\/a>\u00a0or Palermo internal oak doors \u2013 make up an essential part of your interior style, and it\u2019s key not to underestimate them! It can be a total nightmare scenario to get the whole house outfitted and then find out you\u2019ve not got the money left over to get your ideal internal doors to match. You don\u2019t need any fancy interior designers to tell you that the feel of your home is vital to our comfort \u2013 after all, it\u2019s where we all spend most of our time. You don\u2019t want to have to compromise!<\/p>\n

2. Not Measuring The Required Door Sizes Correctly<\/h2>\n

Even if you\u2019re usually not that into design, it can be easier than you\u2019d think to get caught up in shopping for internal doors with the perfect look and feel for your home. There\u2019s nothing worse than getting your ideal internal door home and then finding out that it doesn\u2019t fit the door frame. Luckily, if it\u2019s too big you\u2019ve got a couple of options to tackle the problem<\/a>, but if it\u2019s too small then you\u2019re left to either find a replacement, or just live with it \u2013 both of which can be equally annoying to deal with. Make sure you dot your i\u2019s and cross your t\u2019s early on \u2013 in other words, double check your measurements to avoid disappointment!<\/p>\n

3. Not Taking Into Account The Interior Space Beforehand<\/h2>\n

It might sound basic, but you might be surprised at how many people don\u2019t size up their interior space before choosing their internal door. You\u2019ve got to consider which way it\u2019s going to open, and whether you\u2019ve got the space for it to complete its arc. Otherwise in the best case scenario, you might find that it\u2019s banging back and forth into furniture all the time. In the worst case scenario, it might even cause an accident, or act as an irritating obstacle when you need to quickly move into the room (say, if your tea is burning!). Make sure to check these details before you step out to buy your internal door, and you\u2019ll save yourself a whole lot of bother in the meantime.<\/p>\n

4. Failing To Install Or Finish The Doors Correctly<\/h2>\n

\"varnishing<\/p>\n

It would be a total shame to finally get your ideal internal doors all sorted and ship-shape, and then have them deteriorate rapidly in the coming weeks and months when it\u2019s not properly looked after. Internal doors can take a battering in day-to-day life, so it\u2019s important to give them a proper spruce occasionally. And make sure they\u2019re installed properly in the first place, as they can be very unsafe otherwise. Remember, a little care goes a long way!<\/p>\n
