# White internal doors — primed and fully finished | Threshen > White internal doors supplied primed for painting or fully finished ready to hang. What the two mean in practice, and how to match the white you already have. Source: https://example.co.uk/internal-doors/white --- # White internal doors White internal doors arrive in one of two states. Primed doors come with a factory undercoat and need topcoats applied on site. Fully finished doors arrive painted and ready to hang. Primed costs less and lets you match an existing white exactly; fully finished saves a weekend and a great deal of dust. **In this range** 18 doors **Guide price from** £38.40 inc VAT White is the most forgiving door in a house that has been altered more than once. Where oak asks the rest of the joinery to agree with it, paint lets a 1930s architrave, a 1990s skirting and a new opening all read as one thing. The decision that actually costs money is not the style. It is whether you paint them yourself. 18 doors Prices are guide prices including VAT, taken from the smallest size and plainest finish of each door. They are not an offer to sell — confirm the price for your size and finish before ordering. - White Flush Internal Door Where the door is not meant to be the point, this one has nothing to catch dust or argue with the architecture. A plain flat face, honestly priced. Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed Shaker Door Clean two-panel shaker lines in a white primed finish. The most forgiving door in a mixed-age house, and the cheapest way to make a landing look deliberate. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed 4-Panel Door The Victorian four-panel arrangement in painted MDF: two short panels above the lock rail, two tall below, with moulding worked around each one. The period shape without oak. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed Ladder Door Horizontal panels in white primed MDF. The cheapest way to get the contemporary ladder shape, and the one most new-build refits end up buying. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed 6-Panel Door Six panels in the Victorian arrangement, moulded into a white primed face. Two short at the top, two in the middle, two long below. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core Flush Door The same flat painted face as a hollow core flush door, with a dense infill behind it: it sounds solid, takes a latch anywhere on the edge, and shuts with some weight to it. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core Shaker Door Flat recessed panels, square edges, and a solid core underneath. The shaker shape specified properly, for the doors that get opened twenty times a day rather than twice. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed Glazed Door Three glazed lights in a painted frame, for pulling daylight into an internal hallway or a landing that goes dark by mid-afternoon, without paying oak prices to do it. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core 4-Panel Door A moulded four-panel door with a solid core: the period shape in painted joinery, built heavy enough for a main reception room rather than a box room. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed 4-Light Door Four tall lights in a white primed leaf. The most daylight for the least money in this catalogue. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed 10-Light Door Ten small lights, two across and five down, over the upper two-thirds of a painted leaf. The most glass this catalogue puts in a single internal door. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed Cottage Door A boarded door face in painted joinery, for a cottage or a barn conversion where the timber was always going to be painted and solid oak is more than the room needs. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core Ladder Door For the bedroom or the home office, where a hollow leaf lets too much of the house through. Same ladder shape, solid core behind it. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core Glazed Door Three lights over a solid lower panel in a painted frame, with a dense core in the stiles and rails. A glazed door that still feels like a door in the hand. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core 6-Panel Door The six-panel outline on a solid core, primed. A period shape that closes with weight instead of sounding like a cupboard. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Solid Core 10-Light Door Built for an opening that gets used constantly, where a lighter glazed door would eventually rattle. Ten lights on a solid-core primed leaf. - Solid core primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed Shaker Pair The cheapest way to make a knocked-through room feel like two rooms again when you want it to. Two plain shaker leaves in one opening, primed. - Primed MDF - 35mm ### White Primed Glazed Pair Between a kitchen and a dining room, a single door makes the two rooms separate. Two glazed leaves meeting in the middle of one opening do not. - Primed MDF - 35mm No doors match these filters yet. Clear a filter to widen the search. ## Primed or fully finished? Painting a door properly is roughly a day per door once you count drying time between coats, and it has to happen somewhere dust-free with room to lay the leaf flat. On a five-door landing that is a serious commitment, and it is why fully finished doors sell despite costing more. | | Primed | Fully finished | | --- | --- | --- | | Arrives | Factory undercoat, usually a flat off-white | Painted, ready to hang | | Work left to do | Two topcoats, plus sanding and drying time per door | Hang it | | Colour control | Total — match any existing white | Whatever the maker supplies | | Cost | Lower up front, plus paint and your time | Higher up front | | Damage repair later | Easy, you already have the paint | Needs a colour match | ## There is no such thing as one white A brilliant white door against a slightly warm white architrave looks like a mistake, and it is the sort of mistake you cannot stop seeing. If the existing joinery is staying, take a sample of it to match the door paint against, rather than assuming white is white. If everything is being redecorated, do it the other way round: let the door set the white and paint the trim to match. Doors are the harder thing to change your mind about. ## Hollow core or solid core White doors are often the cheapest doors in a catalogue, and the cheapest doors are usually hollow core. That is not automatically wrong. A hollow core leaf is light enough for one person to hang and is perfectly sensible on a bedroom or a cupboard. It matters in two places. A hollow core door has a lock block, which is a solid section built into one edge — you can only fit a latch or a lock where the block is, and the manufacturer will tell you where that is. And a hollow leaf sounds hollow, which is noticeable on a bathroom or a home office where you wanted a little sound separation. ## More internal doors [Back to all internal doors](https://example.co.uk/internal-doors)
