3. Introduction of Interior Doors
• Interior Doors are the passageway between rooms.
• They are smaller and lighter compared to Exterior
Doors.
• They have no sill, since airflow beneath the door is
usually welcomed inside a home.
• Interior doors do not always have to be between
rooms, but they can separate a bedroom from a
closet space. This is usually done via sliding doors in
order to save space.

4. Functions of Interior Doors
• Passage doors swing open and close on two or more
leaf hinges, and are the most commonly used doors
in homes.
• Louver doors are typically used for closets, utility
rooms and laundry rooms because they provide
ventilation and privacy.
• Sliding doors or bypass doors are typically used on
areas that have wide openings, like a closet or
master bathroom, and slide from left to right.
