An office door is a crucial component of any office space, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. The material, style, and design of an office door can greatly impact the overall look and feel of a work space, as well as its level of security and privacy.

Hence, it’s important to choose the appropriate office doors when planning your office renovation. 

Type of Office Door

Office door falls into two board categories:

1. Exterior office door
2. Interior office door

The material used for the doors, design and cost of the door will vary greatly depending on the purpose and function of the doors.

Exterior Door

Exterior office doors are also known as office entrance doors.

The two main functions of an external door:

1. Barrier from external environment
2. Grand entrance to impress the visitors

Barrier from External Environment

They are the barrier between the external environment and the internal space of the office. Hence, they need to be more secure, stronger and made of much thicker material than the doors inside the office.

The robust core of these outside doors not only provide added security, but also provide insulation from temperature changes from the external environment.

Although the Singapore weather is hot and humid all year round, it’s important to insulate your office environment from the external higher temperature if you are using air-conditioner in your office. 

To enhance security and prevent break-ins, exterior office doors are equipped with advanced locking mechanisms and reinforced features, such as sturdy frames and hinges.

Grand Entrance to Impress

Exterior doors are typically designed to create a strong first impression and a grand entrance for the visitors. Hence, they often have features such as decorative glass panels, intricate mouldings, and ornate hardware that make them more visually striking than their interior counterparts.

Interior Doors

Interior office doors undergo far less wear and tear compared to their exterior counterparts, which is why they don’t require the same level of robustness.

Enhanced safety features are usually not a requirement for interior office doors as they generally not exposed to the same level of external risk experienced by external doors.

The two main functions of interior doors:

1. Privacy and Sace Partition
2. Soundproofing and Noise control

Privacy and Space Partition

Open-plan offices thrive on collaboration, but privacy is equally essential for focused tasks and confidential discussions.

Office interior doors help create delineated spaces, ensuring that collaboration zones and private meeting areas coexist harmoniously.

For team meetings or brainstorming sessions, glass-paneled doors strike a balance between openness and the required degree of privacy.

Solid doors, on the other hand, ensure confidentiality during closed-door discussions.
