Hollow Doors Views

DEAR TIM: I would like to switch out the interior doors in my house. My current doors are hollow core and have a simulated wood grain that I don't care for. The house I grew up in had delightful solid wood doors. I really miss the feel of solid wood doors. Can you still get traditional solid wood doors? If so, what kind of styles and options are available? Tom B. Tampa, FL

DEAR TOM: Welcome to the club! My wife and I also share your feelings about hollow core doors. Hollow core doors are a fantastic product because they allow lumber mills and door manufacturers to efficiently use wood products that used to be wasted. The trouble is these hollow doors are simply not a substitute for a solid wood door.

This is the door to our kitchen pantry. Look at the next photo to get a close-up view of the raised molding around each raised panel. Now that is a classic detail! If you just want the feel of solid wood and the appearance of the door is not too critical, you can buy hollow core styled interior doors that have a solid core. This core is made from engineered wood products that help conserve our wood resources. These are great choices if you wish to help soundproof a bedroom, bathroom, powder room or some other room in a house.
