ᐅ Interior Doors – Which Manufacturers Would You Recommend?

Hello,

we are about to choose our interior doors soon and are considering brands like Jeld-Wen, Herholz, Prüm, Hörmann, and others.

We want simple white-painted doors, possibly with a few "design" stripes, and have noticed that every manufacturer offers something like this.

Therefore, we’re quite unsure which manufacturer to go for. Visually and quality-wise, they all seem to offer similar products. Should we just focus on the price? Technical details such as sound insulation ratings, weight, etc., are difficult to find online.

For example, Jeld-Wen offers the same door model in different thicknesses (43mm (1.7 inches) and 39mm (1.5 inches)): Lombardo and Lucera. But beyond that, there isn’t much more information to help decide between the two.

Can you provide any tips?

We have white Jeld-Wen doors. Great doors. You can open and close them. They come with handles as standard. And non-squeaking hinges. And when closed, you can’t see through them. Honestly, Jeld-Wen is top of the line in door manufacturing.....

It does what it’s supposed to do, and that’s enough.
We just made sure it’s not laminated, because lamination can come off quite quickly.
The doors should also reasonably match the price of the house—no one will really notice. Decorative strips can often add too much to the design…

We love our Herholz doors. Model Atrium 30 in white lacquer, including a square SR-frame 50mm (2 inches) for 268 EUR plus VAT (86 cm (34 inches) width).... Simple, beautiful doors.
Best regards, Steffi33

We are leaning towards Prüm because they offer pure white as a color option.

Unfortunately, it is somewhat lighter compared to others.

Are they really that affordable? With handles? Where did you buy them?

Regarding the color: Jeld-Wen apparently also offers pure white (RAL 9010), while Herholz, for example, has traffic white (RAL 9016). Not sure if you can really tell the difference afterwards.

About the lighter weight of Prüm: I’ve read that elsewhere, too. What’s actually the problem with that? Less sound insulation?
