{"title":"Ladder Doors","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ladder door is built from horizontal rails set into vertical stiles, so the face reads as a series of open or panelled rungs. The pattern is deliberately rustic and works where a smooth flush leaf would look out of place: barn conversions, cottages, boot rooms and loft spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a ladder door\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecide whether you want the rungs solid, glazed or open, since that changes how much light and sound passes through.

It is one of the clearest markers of contemporary British door design: the horizontal emphasis widens a narrow hallway visually and the repetition gives a plain leaf structure without any traditional moulding. Because the rails are usually shallow, the door still keeps a flat, easy-to-clean face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere a ladder door works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLadder doors suit open-plan conversions, loft rooms, new build interiors and any scheme where oak or grey finishes and matt black ironmongery are already in play. They pair particularly well with wide openings and low ceilings, where the horizontal lines are read as deliberate rather than accidental. In a strongly period room the pattern will fight the existing joinery, and a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cottage-doors\"\u003ecottage door\u003c\/a\u003e or panelled leaf will sit better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck whether the leaf is moulded or engineered, since the difference in weight and sound is significant, and see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/advice\/hollow-core-vs-solid-core-internal-doors-a-comprehensive-uk-commercial-guide\"\u003ehollow core versus solid core internal doors\u003c\/a\u003e.
