Louvered doors are made of rails and stiles, creating a slatted look where you would typically see glass or a solid panel. They allow light and air to flow freely when closed. Louvered doors are typically used as a clever way to conceal closet storage space while maintaining a small footprint in a bedroom or hallway.
EightDoors’ Bifold Flat Louver Shaker is too beautiful to be limited only to closet use! Louvered doors are the chameleon of interior design. They can be introduced into any room, of practically any style, and make that space even more special.
This bifold louver door has the potential to create an airy feel in a variety of spaces. Whereas other louvers might not be ideal for this due to their high maintenance slots, the Bifold Flat Louver Shaker has flat slots with virtually no space for dust to gather. This door is an excellent example of a traditional bifold that is made to stay beautiful and clean with minimal effort.
Innovation and creativity are essentials in planning your home. Breaking out of the mold of what a bifold is “supposed” to be used for can create a unique and inspiring home design.
Ventilation slots create a breezy feel in a home, but also literally create a path for air to flow from room to room. This makes it an ideal barrier between a wide variety of spaces.
