How to choose the best internal doors for your home

When making plans for the interior design of your home, there are certain aspects that you simply cannot compromise on in the pursuit of luxury and quality. Interior doors are one of them. Connecting one crevice of your house to another, the perfect door allows light to enter while keeping draughts at bay, elevating the overall aesthetic while remaining functional and practical.

Enter Porta Steel Doors. An Irish luxury design brand based in Waterford that specialises in custom steel-framed doors and glass systems, created out of a passion for the beauty of glass and steel, and their ability to transform a space.

What kinds of spaces do the doors work well in?

Whether it’s an office space, zoning off an open space, wine room, kitchen pantry or creating a statement entranceway, Porta Steel Doors transform homes into aspirational living spaces. Their functionality and aesthetic versatility make them a striking interior choice. Their sleek, slim frames are perfect for minimalist modern interiors, blending strength with clean lines complementing industrial or Scandinavian-inspired designs.

They also go beautifully with edgy interiors, striking against concrete walls and wood accents. They add a luxurious feel while maintaining functionality and the glass options (clear, frosted, reeded) allow the light to flow through rooms. Custom-finished, unique handles or more popular arched designs become the focal point of the space.

What are the benefits of the doors? What kinds of problems do they solve in people’s homes?

Porta Steel Doors offer several benefits in both residential and commercial projects, especially with homes and businesses investing more in sustainability.

Our doors are steel, manufactured to withstand any weather, and protect the interior while maintaining an industrial and modern style. Unlike other alternatives such as timber, steel doors are resistant to warping and wear, performing well in high-traffic areas. Wooden or aluminium may deteriorate over time, whereas steel ensures strength and durability and eliminates the risk of corrosion. They’re also 100% recyclable and require minimal upkeep.

We also offer doors for areas that require noise reductions or are thermally insulated, such as external or wine rooms. Their versatility in design is also a massive factor for clients, we can supply these in any design or style, customised to the client’s space, along with various glass panel options for aesthetics and natural light. Many other door types lack this flexibility, limiting what a client can do.

Whether it’s fire safety compliance or limited space, Porta Steel Doors can solve many problems. Not only do they give modern aesthetics, but they can solve issues with small spaces where swing doors aren’t practical — clients can opt for sliding or folding doors. In dark spaces, the glass panels allow light to flow through the rooms while also keeping privacy.
