What are Heritage Internal Single Doors?
Heritage internal single doors are identifiable by their industrial, “steel-look” aesthetic paired with slim frames and a grid-like glass layout. Heritage internal doors also come as bifold doors, French doors and sliding doors for flexibility. If you already have Heritage French doors or sliding doors installed in your home, a single door could be the perfect finishing touch.
Heritage single doors combine natural light with privacy to ensure your door doesn’t just serve one purpose. Single Heritage doors are ideal for smaller spaces, and can replace existing room doors, such as bedrooms, home offices, kitchens and dining rooms, for extra solitude.

What are the Benefits of Heritage Style Doors?
Some of the many benefits of Heritage internal single doors include:
● Timeless design: Heritage designs, no matter the type of door, are the perfect choice for traditional and modern homes. They feature slim sightlines for connecting the rooms; although single doors may not provide this benefit as much as bifolds or French doors , they’re much more welcoming than solid wood doors.
● Increased natural light: Ultra-slim frames allow more light to enter your home, ideal if your connecting room has no windows.
● Good thermal performance : whilst they are only internal doors, they will aid with thermal performance and sound insulation.
● Durable: aluminium frames ensure the doors will resist warping, and they will not need as much maintenance as wood or timber.
● Ideal for small spaces: just because you have a smaller space doesn’t mean you have to compromise and get a less stylish door. Heritage internal single doors are perfect for adding style to both large and small spaces.
