The Frameless Interior Door

Frameless Interior Doors – A Flush and Trimless Trend.

Modern Interior Doors that are totally frameless and trimless are in a world of their own.  Currently less than 0.1% of all interior doors installed are frameless doors.  It seems that the traditional trimmed interior doors are here to stay because they are just so well known.  Sad but true.  When it comes to contemporary design, though, doors that have a hidden frame are oftentimes beneficial to minimalist architecture.  I have listed my favorite door types below (with some explanatory words) and it might help people to know what is out there for renovations or new home builds.
