What Is A 6 Panel Internal Door?

An internal 6-panel door features a timeless design rooted in centuries of architectural tradition, particularly associated with Georgian, Victorian, and colonial-style homes.

Though exact proportions can vary slightly by manufacturer, the typical layout includes:

  • Two smaller panels at the top
  • Two taller, elongated panels in the middle
  • Two medium-sized panels at the bottom


Unlike plain flush doors, 6-panel designs suggest a considered, architectural finish - blending heritage style with modern practicality.


Benefits

  • Highly versatile - Can be used in a variety of spaces, from bedrooms and bathrooms to living rooms and kitchens
  • Available in a wide range of finishes and colours, so you can find the perfect match for your home's existing decor
  • Can be painted, stained or varnished to match the colour scheme of the room
  • In addition to their aesthetic appeal, 6-panel doors are also highly functional - they provide privacy, security, and insulation
  • A quick way to add style, functionality, and value to a house


FD30 White 6 Panel Doors

  • What are they? These are specially constructed 6 panel doors designed to resist fire for at least 30 minutes (FD30 rating). They have a much denser, heavier core and often feature intumescent strips around the edges (which expand in heat to seal gaps).
  • Why choose them? UK Building Regulations (Approved Document B) require fire doors in certain locations for safety - for example, doors leading from a house to an integral garage, in some multi-storey homes between floors, or between certain rooms in flats or commercial buildings. Always check if your project requires fire doors.


Textured Finish 6 Panel Doors

  • Instead of a completely smooth surface, these doors feature a tactile, grained, or subtly patterned texture. This is often designed to mimic the appearance of natural wood grain (like oak or ash) or to provide a contemporary decorative effect.
  • The texture can add visual depth and character to the door, making it a feature in itself. It can also be more forgiving of minor marks or scuffs compared to a perfectly smooth, high-gloss finish.


Semi-Solid Core Benefits
  • Improved Feel: Offers a heavier, more robust feel than a standard core door.
  • Enhanced Sound Reduction: Provides better acoustic insulation (sound dampening) compared to lightweight honeycomb cores, helping to reduce noise transfer between rooms.
  • Increased Durability: Generally more resistant to minor impacts and offers a more solid base for fixing hardware compared to very light-duty cores.


Maintenance
  • Cleaning: A quick wipe down with a soft, slightly damp cloth is usually all that's needed. Avoid using harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.
  • Touch-Ups: Minor scuffs or chips on painted doors can generally be touched up with a little matching paint.

Frequently Asked 6 Panel Doors Questions

Are White 6 Panel Doors Only Suitable For Traditional Homes?

Not at all! While the 6 panel door design has historical roots and looks perfectly at home in traditional, period, or country-style UK properties, its clean lines and simple geometry also allow it to work surprisingly well in many contemporary and modern interiors. 

A crisp white finish particularly helps it bridge different styles, offering a timeless and versatile look rather than being strictly period-specific.


How Old Are 6 Panel Internal Doors?

The panelled door was a signature of the Renaissance architectural style, which was a revival of classical forms. The number and design of panels varied, but one specific pattern was prominent from 1700 to the early 1800s: the 6-panel door.


Can 6 Panel Internal Doors Be Customised To Match My Home's Decor?

Yes, 6-panel internal doors can be customised with a surface finish and your choice of colour to match your home's decor.
