As most doors come hinged, these doors can come as hinged or you can choose to have them as folding or sliding similar to that of the accordion doors. French doors include a glaze that appears to be glass or you can choose to have them with glass and have additional options such as beveled or grooved.
Louvered Closet Doors:
These types of doors have become a very common choice for people looking to build their home from the ground up or simply renovating one room or the entire house. Louvered doors help provide airflow from the room to the closet area without having to have the doors open, which is primary reason for having closet doors; to conceal your wardrobe or clutter that you want to keep from view.
All three of these types of doors can be found almost at any home improvement store such as Home Depot, Lowes or Menards. Additionally, these doors can be found online if you prefer not to leave your home and have these doors shipped to you. Keep in mind, that having the convenience of having these doors shipped to you also involves a shipping and handling charge. Some retailers may waive this fee if you choose to purchase a specified dollar amount. As a last option you can usually purchase your closet doors directly from the manufacturer.
