Door, Flush

Definition

Doors that have two flat surfaces, which can come in three basic types: solid (wood or metal), solid-core, or hollow-core.

Purpose

Flush doors provide a sleek and modern appearance, suitable for both residential and commercial settings. The different core types offer varying levels of durability, insulation, and soundproofing, making flush doors versatile for various applications.

Examples of Use

1. Interior Doors: Hollow-core flush doors are commonly used for interior doors in homes and offices due to their lightweight and cost-effectiveness.
2. Exterior Doors: Solid-core or solid flush doors provide better insulation and security, making them ideal for exterior use.
3. Commercial Buildings: Solid metal flush doors are often used in commercial settings for their durability and fire-resistant properties.
