We\u2019ve said it before and it\u2019s still true today: the right internal door can make such a difference to the feel of a home. After more than 70 years at Savoy Timber helping people refresh and transform their living spaces, we\u2019ve seen time and again how a well-chosen door can subtly shape and elevate any room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, we\u2019re not short on options at Savoy Timber! From <\/span>industrial<\/a><\/strong> to <\/span>Victorian<\/a><\/strong> doors, we\u2019re proud to supply a wide variety of different styles, with options for all kinds of tastes and aesthetics. Two of our most popular product ranges are our Belize oak doors and our <\/span>Mexicano oak doors<\/a><\/strong>, both chosen by countless customers as the finishing touch to their home upgrade. But which one will work best for your space? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Mexicano and Belize doors?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the obvious question: what are Belize and Mexicano oak doors? Though they share a lot of similarities and are often mixed up, there are subtle differences that set them apart. Both are kinds of panel doors, commonly featuring five panels and a signature vertical groove design. At Savoy Timber, we\u2019re proud to stock a range of Mexicano and Belize doors from the leading brand LPD, with options for every type of home. We also offer a variety of glazed options, with <\/span>laminate<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>bifold<\/span><\/a> Mexicano models on offer, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enhancing a modern, contemporary space<\/b><\/h2>\n

Belize doors feature smaller, thinner grooves compared to Mexicano models, combined with a square edge to create a more sleek, sharp look. Because of this, Belize internal doors are more commonly favoured by modern homes. Take, for example, our <\/span>LPD Oak Belize Offset Clear Glazed Door<\/strong>.<\/span><\/a> Its minimalist, geometric panel design and slim, offset window produce a clean, streamlined effect, adding a simple yet eye-catching feature to a contemporary space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a more rustic and traditional aesthetic\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re working with a more traditional space in mind, the Mexicano could be exactly what your home needs. With its deeper, wider grooves, the Mexicano adds depth and character, producing a cosy, cottage-like effect. The design adds dimension and produces an eye-catching focal point in any room. What\u2019s more, when you choose one of our <\/span>pre-finished Mexicano doors<\/a><\/strong>, you can immediately show off the rich, warm tones and natural wood grain, perfect for enhancing a more rustic, classic property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Timeless and versatile additions to any space<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to decorating your space, there are no rules. Both Mexicano and Belize doors are impressively versatile, and there\u2019s nothing stopping you from using them in any way or style you wish. The sleek, clean lines and minimalist design of a Mexicano door could be right at home in a contemporary space; similarly, a simple, sophisticated Belize model could be just what you need to add a touch of elegance to a traditional home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the right finish and hardware, you can adapt practically any door to complement your home\u2019s aesthetic. For example, our <\/span>LPD Mexicano Black Oak Door<\/a><\/strong> is a twist on the classic, making a bold, trendy statement worthy of a modern space. Likewise, choosing a Belize door in a natural wood shade and selecting a vintage-looking <\/span>brass knob<\/a><\/strong> is a great way of adding rustic warmth to a traditional space. Of course, with something like our <\/span>LPD Internal Oak Mexicano Silkscreen Glass door<\/a><\/strong>, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. This product combines a classic oak panel style with sleek, lined glass for a look that suits both traditional and contemporary properties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
