Choosing between hollow core or solid core doors comes down to a number of factors including budget, privacy and style.<\/p>\n<h3>Solid Core Doors<\/h3>\n<p>Solid core doors provide a sturdier more solid looking door and have the ability to add character to your home with added architectural details. Because of their solid interior they provide for better sound and heat insulation, durability and privacy. They are also a cheaper option to a solid timber door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ability to customise your style of door<\/li>\n<li>More effective heat and sound insulation<\/li>\n<li>Less prone to damage since they can take more wear and tear<\/li>\n<li>They are available in fire-rated models<\/li>\n<li>They offer more security and privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More expensive than hollow core doors<\/li>\n<li>Heavy to install<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hollow Core Doors<\/h3>\n<p>These are a cost-effective option if you are working on a smaller budget or have many doors in your house.
