Mexicano Door Variations - any experience?

davidjackson20

Hello,

After receiving some valuable insights last time, I thought I'd seek advice once again.


I've recently moved and am planning to replace all my internal doors, which currently lack uniformity.


My preference is the classic Mexicano style, primarily due to the glazing options they offer.


I'm slightly confused as I browse on here: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/mexicano-doors - there are a number of brand and distributor variants.


For instance, there's;

Climadoor Mexicano: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/mexicano-oak-internal-doors

LPD Belize: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/belize-oak-internal-doors

Deanta Ely: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/ely-oak-internal-doors

XL Joinery Suffolk: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/suffolk-oak-internal-doors


There are numerous other options, including one from Howdens. Has anyone had any experience with these or other brands? Are there significant differences between them, or does it ultimately boil down to pricing? I find it hard to believe that the construction or quality between one Mexicano door, finished or unfinished, would vary greatly from one another.


Any insights or experiences shared would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I don’t have those doors, but they are lovely and very popular. No idea they were called Mexican doors! Door quality does vary eg solid oak is much more expensive than, say, pine. I ordered an oak front door online (1930s style) which looked lovely, but when the carpenter went to cut out the letterbox etc, he found it was oak veneer, not solid oak, and the inside was pine! I did paint it though. No mention of this on the website. It was quite a bit cheaper so I would agree be wary of doors that are perhaps a little too cheap. My builder brother uses Howden doors and Jeld Wen Doors a lot for his customers.

    Thanks for taking the time to comment. It is probably worth the question, although I know these aren't solid oak. Bold choice for your front door colour - i like it.
