Choosing the Best Doors for Modern Homes—What Builders Need to Know

For builders working on contemporary projects, selecting interior doors is a critical decision that impacts aesthetics, function, and customer satisfaction. While options abound, shaker-style doors stand out for their versatility and timeless appeal.

The Appeal of Shaker Door Designs

Originating from the Shaker movement’s focus on simplicity and utility, these doors feature flat panels surrounded by clean, square frames. This minimal design allows shaker doors to blend effortlessly with modern architecture without overwhelming the space. They work just as well in homes that embrace rustic or traditional styles, making them a builder’s reliable choice.

Material and Construction Matter

Builders should carefully consider the door core construction. Solid core shaker doors offer superior sound insulation and durability, ideal for high-traffic areas and spaces requiring privacy, such as bedrooms or home offices. Hollow-core doors, while more affordable and lighter, suit less demanding spaces such as closets or laundry rooms.

Our doors come in moisture-resistant finishes, which reduce the risk of warping or damage over time—a critical feature for Canada’s diverse climate zones.

Size and Height—Matching Modern Home Standards

Doors aren’t one-size-fits-all. While the standard door height of 6’8″ works for most rooms, modern homes often feature ceilings of 9 feet or higher, making taller doors like the 2 Panel Shaker 8’0″ Height an attractive choice. Taller doors enhance room proportions, creating a sense of grandeur and openness.

The 5 Panel Shaker 6’8″ 80 Inch door is also favored for its layered panel design, which adds texture and sophistication without sacrificing the simplicity Shaker doors are known for.

Installation and Job Site Efficiency

Builders prioritize products that minimize delays. Our shaker doors are engineered for straightforward installation. Pre-hung models arrive ready to fit with frames and hardware options, reducing on-site labor and potential measurement errors. This efficiency helps builders stick to tight schedules and budgets.
