Next to sliding glass doors, panel doors are probably the second most popular door design. There are many reasons for this. Panel doors have advanced more than any other type of door design over the last 10 years. What is a panel door? It is simply wood or metal that is attached to pieces of sheetrock on each side and then finished out with panel moulding and/or base moulding and then topped off with glass {or plexiglass if using pvc coated}. The reason these doors offer such variety in design is that your imagination only limits them.
Different styles
Panel doors refer to internal doors that have vertical and horizontal panel designs on them. These door styles can either make rooms look elegant or can make them look dingy and old. There are a lot of different types of panel doors that one can use for their homes.
Both raised panel and flat panel doors are surrounded with panels, but they differ depending on the number of panels. Raised panel doors are made up by even-numbered panels, while the flat panel door consists of an odd number of panels.

Installing a panel door on the inside of a home

FAQs
Do panel doors warp?
Like all types of wooden doors, it depends on the materials used. Solid high density wood is less likely to warp too soon. Plus, your engineered cores and oak veneers also tend to resist humidity. Constant exposure to humidity can eventually cause all wooden doors to warp a little.
Can you paint panel doors?
Just like other types of doors, panel doors can be painted. In fact, if the door comes in a prefinished or unfinished state, you should actually give it a layer of protection. Apart from paint, you can also opt for varnish or wax. It normally depends on the exposure to other elements.
Can you install a panel door yourself?
Apart from the actual design, there are no major differences between panel doors and regular flat doors. If you have installed a traditional door before, chances are you will be able to install a panel door as well. The procedure is identical.
