The primary frame materials available are:

Specific features and benefits associated with frame options can include:

- Finishing Options: While the door itself is the primary focus of aesthetic choice, the frame material can often be primed and ready for paint or stain to match the exterior of the home.
For fire-rated doors, specific frame requirements are met to ensure the integrity of the fire barrier. These frames are engineered and tested to meet stringent fire safety standards.

Product Summary
An interior door is more than a door —it’s a statement from warm to bold to elegant, creating a strong impression that carries on into the room and throughout your home.
Steves & Sons builds doors in a wide selection of styles, so it’s easy to choose affordable interior doors that achieve the look you want.
Construction and Materials
Steves & Sons offers a diverse range of interior doors, catering to various aesthetic preferences and functional needs. Their product lines include Moulded, Flush, Panel, and Decorative Glass doors, each constructed with specific materials and design elements to enhance the interior of any home.
Moulded Doors
Moulded doors, also known as hollow-core doors, are a popular choice for their affordability and lightweight nature. They typically feature an engineered wood skin, often made from composite wood materials, that is molded into a decorative panel design. The core of these doors is usually a honeycomb or fiberboard structure, providing stability without significant weight. This construction method allows for a wide array of design options, from traditional to contemporary styles, replicating the look of more expensive solid wood doors.
Flush Doors
Flush doors are characterized by their smooth, flat surfaces with no added decorative panels or ornamentation. Their construction involves two flat sheets of wood veneer or composite material, adhered to a solid or hollow core. The core can be made from:
- Solid Core: Constructed with stiles and rails forming a frame, filled with engineered wood composite or particleboard. This offers superior sound insulation and a more substantial feel.
- Hollow Core: Similar to moulded doors, these have a lightweight honeycomb or fiberboard core between two flat skins. They are lighter and more economical.
Flush doors provide a minimalist and modern aesthetic, fitting seamlessly into contemporary interior designs.
Panel Doors
Panel doors are a classic choice, distinguished by their construction using individual panels of wood or engineered wood set within a framework of stiles (vertical members) and rails (horizontal members). The number and style of these panels can vary greatly, offering a wide range of visual possibilities. Common configurations include:
- 2-Panel: Often features a more traditional or Craftsman-style appearance.
- 4-Panel: A versatile design suitable for many interior styles.
- 6-Panel: A traditional design that is widely recognized and adaptable.
The materials used for panels can range from solid wood to MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), providing durability and a refined look. The stiles and rails are typically made from solid wood or engineered wood products, ensuring structural integrity.
Decorative Glass Doors
Steves & Sons also offers interior doors that incorporate decorative glass elements. These doors combine the structural integrity of panel or flush door construction with the aesthetic appeal of glass. The glass inserts are often designed with:
- Etched or Frosted Glass: Provides privacy while allowing light to filter through.
- Stained Glass or Art Glass: Adds a unique decorative touch and visual interest.
- Beveled or Textured Glass: Offers subtle detailing and light refraction.
The frames surrounding the glass are typically constructed from wood or composite materials that match the door's overall construction, ensuring a cohesive and elegant appearance.
General Construction and Materials
Across their product lines, Steves & Sons utilizes a combination of materials to achieve desired aesthetics, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Common materials include:
- Wood Veneers: Thin layers of real wood applied to a substrate for a natural wood appearance.

- Composite Materials: Used for door skins, particularly in moulded doors, to create intricate designs.

The primary glass types available are:
- Clear Glass: This option provides maximum light transmission, making spaces feel more open and airy. It is ideal for areas where visibility is desired and privacy is not a primary concern.
- Obscure Glass: Designed for privacy, obscure glass diffuses light while significantly reducing visibility. This makes it a suitable choice for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any area where a degree of seclusion is needed.
- Frosted Glass: Similar to obscure glass, frosted glass offers privacy by obscuring direct views. It achieves a diffused light effect with a smooth, frosted appearance, adding a touch of elegance.
- Textured Glass: This category encompasses a range of decorative glass options with patterns or textures embedded within the glass. These textures can range from subtle to pronounced, offering visual interest and varying levels of light diffusion and privacy. Examples may include reeded, hammered, or patterned glass.
- Leaded Glass: For a more decorative and traditional aesthetic, leaded glass options are available. These feature designs created by soldering small pieces of glass together with lead came, often forming intricate patterns.
- Stained Glass: Similar to leaded glass, stained glass uses colored pieces of glass to create vibrant designs and imagery. These options add a significant decorative element and can serve as a focal point in a room.
The availability of specific glass types may vary depending on the particular door style chosen. For instance, more ornate or decorative glass options might be featured in their Decorative Glass collections, while basic clear and obscure glass might be standard offerings for Flush or Panel doors.
