Doors are now a major part of the design of the building. This has meant that there are a vast range of styles of doors available. Doors come in every style, shape, colour and size imaginable.

French doors are very popular in the UK. French doors are double doors which include several windows set into the frame of the door which run the whole length of the door. French doors are often used in homes to allow access to the garden from the home. This is because French doors are large and glazed which allow lots of light into the home and they are also ornate helping to improve the overall appearance of the home. A stable door is a door which is split in the middle meaning that the top half of the door can be open whilst the bottom half remains closed. Traditionally used for animals as the name suggests, stable doors are becoming more popular for residential properties.
