Unfinished Internal Doors

The Express Doors Direct Unfinished Internal Doors Range

At Express Doors Direct, we understand the importance of getting your doors your way!

We understand that you want your doors to make a statement. But you don't want them to stick out like a sore thumb. They need to fit in seamlessly with your interior design concept. At the same time, they need to elevate and enhance the look of your space. Many find that unfinished internal doors are the best way to do this. Here, we'll do our best to explain everything you need to know about unfinished internal doors.

What is an Unfinished Door?

An unfinished door, as the name suggests, is a door that is sold without a coat of finish or primer. So you can see the natural beauty of the wood grain for yourself, and decide on the best way to finish it.

When you buy your doors unfinished, the variety of looks you can achieve is limited only by your imagination. Unfinished internal doors can be made of a huge range of materials. Most of our unfinished internal door range is made from oak veneer with an engineered solid hardwood core. However, unfinished doors can also be made with other woods such as pine.

Do Internal Doors Need to be Finished?

When you receive your unfinished doors, you may be so enamoured with the beauty of the hardwood that you wonder whether your doors even need to be finished. However, there are a number of reasons why your doors will need to be properly finished prior to hanging.

A finished door is not only more appealing to look at, but it also ensures that the wood beneath the surface is protected. Whether you choose to apply a wood stain or prime and paint your doors, you need to apply a finish to ensure maximum longevity.

Unfinished doors are not protected from household wear & tear. As such, they can start to look worn much faster. What's more, you need to treat your unfinished internal doors in line with product recommendations before hanging. This ensures that your 10 year guarantee remains valid.

Finishing your internal doors will ensure that they withstand the test of time, and look great for years to come. If, however, you'd rather not finish your internal door yourself, we also stock a fantastic range of pre-finished doors.

How do you Finish an Unfinished Door?

The beauty of unfinished doors is that they present you with a huge range of options. You can choose a look that fits your chosen aesthetic and doesn't cause you any undue hassle.

Oiling a door is a relatively easy way to protect the wood and bring out its natural lustre. Two coats are usually enough for our internal oak doors. You can also apply a wood stain, wax or varnish to unfinished internal doors. We recommend lightly rubbing the door with a finishing pad between coats to get a nice uniform look.

Alternatively, you can apply a coat of primer and paint your internal doors in any colour you wish. Use a white primer for bright and vibrant topcoat colours, and grey or black for darker, richer topcoats. Don't neglect your primer, however, as this is the foundation that your finish is built on. If you don't have time to prime the internal door yourself, we offer a host of ready-primed doors.

Unfinished internal doors take a little more time, effort and patience to get ready to hang. But they're your best bet for a gorgeous look that fits seamlessly with your existing doors and home decor.
