Builders Door & Supply

A guide to residential doors — exterior, interior, and the materials to choose from.

Types of Residential Doors: Exterior & Interior

Residential doors fall into two broad categories: exterior and interior. Exterior doors are the main entry points to your home — a focal point and a barrier against the elements. Interior doors separate rooms and create privacy within the home.

Exterior Doors: Making a Lasting Impression

Your exterior door is the first impression your home makes, and it comes in a wide range of styles and materials. Traditional panel doors feature intricate designs carved into the wood, while modern doors favor clean lines, minimalist design, and glass panels that let in light.

Interior Doors: Adding Personality to Your Space

Interior doors reflect your personal style. Traditional raised-panel designs in wood bring warmth and detail, while contemporary flush doors offer a smooth, flat surface — often made from MDF or plywood — for a clean, minimalist look.

Materials: Wood, Fiberglass, Steel & More

When choosing a door material, there are several options to consider — wood, fiberglass, steel, and more — each with its own advantages. It is worth weighing your priorities for appearance, durability, security, and energy efficiency before you decide. Our team is happy to help you find the right fit.
