Internal glass doors: bringing light into every room

Think of the room in your home that gets the best light. Now, imagine sharing some of that light with the room next door.

Natural light changes how your home looks and feels, but walls and solid doors can get in the way.

Internal glass doors let light move from room to room while still giving each space its own purpose. Let’s look at why they’re so popular, how they suit open-plan and zoned living, the styles you can choose from and the practical details.

Why internal glass doors are growing in popularity

Light-filled interiors have become increasingly desirable in recent years. Internal doors and screens present a simple yet effective way to deliver on this desire.

They create flexible layouts without taking up significant floor space. Unlike walls, they can open whenever you want.

Slim frames give the traditional steel look so many people love.

Aluminium is also robust and needs minimal maintenance, making it a great option for busy households. Who wants to spend their lives caring for their home? It should be taking care of you.

Open-plan vs zoned living

Before making any changes, think about how you want to live.

Perhaps you prefer a more open-plan approach. That’s great for light and togetherness, but noise, cooking smells and clutter travel too.

Maybe it’s zoned living: define areas like your kitchen, dining space or home office with glass so they’re visually connected.

Many people want large, open spaces but also some level of separation. Fixed screens can partition spaces and still let light pass through.

Style options for internal doors

We offer a range of styles to suit how you live. Pivot doors make a statement entrance to your kitchen. Sliding doors glide open and closed without taking up floor space. Fixed screens divide a room while letting the light flow through. Hinged single or double doors, which open in or out, are ideal for rooms you’d like to close off at the end of the day.

Transom bars give our doors and screens the iconic steel look, in layouts from Georgian grids to Art Deco lines.

We offer over 50 colours, with single or dual colours either side of the frame, so you can coordinate with both the inside and outside of your home.

For the finishing touches, choose from a range of handles in styles such as knurled, Art Deco, Aspect, Opera and Architectural, in finishes such as matte black, stainless steel and aged brass.

Practical considerations: privacy and sound

Glass doors won’t block sound like a solid wall, but they do help reduce noise between rooms and add an extra level of privacy. For quiet or private spaces like home offices, internal doors and screens separate them without cutting them off completely.

For even better sound dampening, triple-glazed options are available. It’s your choice.

Internal glass doors bring light, flexibility and style to your home, in a way that suits how you live.
