Doors are often the first design element you see before entering before you enter a room in a home. This is your chance to make a first impression and set an expectation for the style and feel of the room. Professional door installation offers many benefits besides the basics of fitting the door just right. Correctly positioned and insulated doors may significantly reduce room noise, provide insulation protecting your home from heat and cold, and are energy efficient. The process of installing the door depends on many factors. For example:
Pre-hung doors vs new build
Pre-hung refers to doors that already come built with the frame included, that is a door already hung with hinges on a frame that just fits into the space where it will go. If the door comes installed on the jamb it is easier to install. Pre-hung doors eliminate the need for having to install framing for the door from scratch, resulting in quicker and easier finishing at the end. However this option is a little pricier as it includes materials for the frame and hinges. Another option is to choose just the door and to have our professional door installers fit it into the correct place. Contact Trim Group to find out which option may be right for you.
If the framing is at the right angle or if the walls are bowed
If there is any bowing & curved casings or uneven tops, the installation can go wrong in no time. Filling newly created gaps, fixing the space, making it fit perfectly, and solving any additional problems that may occur are why you should choose Trim Group’s professional door installer.
You may wonder why there is a major price discrepancy between Interior and Exterior doors. This stems from the fact that interior doors do not need to be as air tight or strong as the doors protecting the entry to your home. Your exterior doors will often be made a material meant to deter intruders while interior doors are used to separate rooms.
Thickness
Interior doors often come in single-door construction, while exterior in double-door construction.
Core Construction
The exterior doors have a solid core construction because their job is to be a barrier between outside and inside, while interior doors have a more hollow core. Still, the expensive interior doors may have wood, fiber, or honeycomb core for more sound-proofing properties.
Price
Exterior doors will always carry a higher cost, but there are also two choices for interior doors. You may choose between Hollow or Solid core doors here. Hollow doors, as the name suggest, are hollow inside resulting in lower prices but reduced sound proofing. These doors are often used for non-bedroom applications but can also be used throughout. Solid core doors provide a sturdier barrier and much better sound proofing. You perfect choice will be a combination of use case and budget.
Installation
The main difference in installation revolves around the insulation factors between interior and exterior doors. The deciding factor for interior door installation price revolves around pre-hung versus normal doors and will definitely affect your bottom line.
