Oak and oak woods have from times immemorial enriched stories, realities, forests, homes, and home interiors. Oak wood is hardy, with a high level of insect and fungi-resisting ability, and high tannin content. The bark of different varieties of oak is used variously in making furniture, wine barrels, cork, and oak interior doors.

 

Besides its strength, and resistance to sundry wood borer insects, oak has got rich and beautiful grain markings that make it aesthetically appealing to users. This aesthetic appeal is what makes oak interior doors the popular choice of lots of people. To get vivid grain markings, oak has to be sawn in a direction at right angles, or vertical, to the direction of the tree's growth rings. Any wood thus sawn is known as quarter-sawn wood. Oak wood thus sawn will have intricate grain markings and a rich finish and this is what makes oak most suited for oak interior doors.

 

Oak has been mythologically and historically popular. Long before oak interior doors became a fashion stamp, oak tree has been considered the tree of doors according to Celtic mythology. There have also been individual oak trees that are historically important. One example is the Royal Oak where King Charles II of England had hidden in the 17^th century during the Battle of Worcester.

 

The popular appeal of oak interior doors has been evident from the fact that they have been used in politically and historically important buildings. One classic instance of its usage is in the British House of Commons. The debating chamber of this parliamentary building has oak paneled interior doors.

 

Oak interior doors may be solid wood or wood veneer, both of which alike give the home a classy look. And there are choices between raised panel patterns, and flat panel patterns, raised and fielded panels, within each of which there are choices in the number of panels available, ranging from one to eight or even more. Besides the variation in panel numbers, there are arched panels, eyebrow shaped panels, classic eyebrows etc, which add to the elegance of the oak interior doors.

 

Glazed panels enhance the richness and perfection of oak interior doors as light streaks in through these doors. Glass panes may be beveled glass or frosted glass. Glazed oak interior doors are the perfect choice for all rooms where light is the primary concern and privacy only the secondary concern. This means that they are good for all interior doors others than bedroom doors.

 

Rustic oak interior doors give the home elegance with its rustic look; the same way antiques provide an artistic perfection to modern living rooms. Rustic interior doors may be ledged and braced, with or without frame. In all types of interior doors, pre-finished standard sizes are available, even though sizes and panel numbers can be changed in many instances based on customer request. Similarly, pre-glazed ones as well as custom glass finishes are available in glazed oak interior doors.

 

Interior doors are variously available in white oak, red oak, or quarter-sawn red oak, and each of these can be stained light, medium, or dark, or can have a clear finish. All of these in their own way give the perfect finish to the interior. Your choice of oak interior doors will depend on the overall style of the house, the interior decoration patterns, privacy preferences and suitability to the budget.
