One thing that doesn’t get as much attention as it should in the design and appearance of a home is the main doors for your HDB. They’re important not only for security purposes but for design purposes as well. The right main door will be able to reduce noise coming from the outside while at the same time, still maintaining the design integrity of the interiors of the HDB flat. We offer doors that come in all styles, designs, and materials. There are lots of things to consider and options to choose from but we’ll give you a few tips to make the process of selection a little less overwhelming.
This guide will showcase some of the most basic types of main doors that can easily suit any style and décor of your home. Doors are mainly based on functionality, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish and decorative at the same time. These HDB main doors can help you decide much more easily..
French doors
These French doors definitely make a unique and interesting statement. French doors are double-panelled. Although French doors are typically made out of glass, for added security, we made them out of solid material.
They usually open inwards and you can open them together or one at a time. These types of doors usually give a lot of natural light to your interiors but they aren’t just limited to main or exterior doors. They can also be used indoors, specifically for your living space or for any space that opens out into a patio or a terrace.
Aluminum doors
Another staple for HDB main doors are aluminum or metal doors. They definitely make for really solid alternatives for wooden doors as they are not only more budget friendly, but they’ve also been known to be far more durable. Doors similar to the one we pictured below require very little maintenance. They also offer a very modern and upscale look that can fit in well with an industrial design if your HDB has that particular aesthetic in play.
Flush doors
Flush doors like the one pictured below have very smooth surfaces. They are usually made out of a heavy plywood or MDF material. They’re the perfect options if you’re looking for something that offers great durability while still being affordable and budget friendly. These doors are quite popular because they’re very reasonably priced which is why they are a major forerunner in the list of HDB main doors to consider. They also make for great bathroom and utility doors in the home.
Battened and ledged doors
Battened and ledged doors have been around for quite some time now although they’ve had a bit of a revamp by not including horizontal ledges, just vertical ones, similar to the one pictured below. The vertical ledges are braced together by a frame that can either be visible or hidden from behind. They’re great if you’re trying to create a rustic and somewhat farmhouse look for your HDB’s design. They also make for great closet and utility doors.
Wooden doors
And of course, you can’t really talk about HDB main doors without having wooden doors in the mix. Wood has been a choice material for main doors but for other interior doors as well. They’re classic and timeless and they never really go out of vogue. More than that, wooden doors are fairly easy to paint or stain. This means that they can easily adapt to your preferred style or theme, thus they are usually a popular choice for bedroom doors for HDB.
