Gothic Door:
Doors in Gothic houses were usually unglazed. In the most strongly
Gothic houses, doors were ledged, with vertical planks or planks in
a herringbone pattern. Oak was a prized wood. After 1860 it was more
common to see glazed and leaded front doors. Typical colours used
for painted front doors of pine or deal were dark blue, chocolate
brown (favoured by Eastlake), deep red, or else olive green.
Graining was also used. A key feature of the front door was a set of
ornamental fittings, ideally in wrought iron. Regular door-to-door
postal deliveries began in 1840 and the small letter-plate was
introduced. Larger items were received by a maid or other domestic
servant. The other furniture was a knocker and a pull to help to
close the door. Internal Gothic doors might have been ledged, or
else were panelled. As with the front door, those of better quality
wood were polished, while those of pine and deal were either grained
or painted. They were fitted with finger plates of iron or else
brass. Door Types: A
door may slide or rotate. Sometimes a door, though not just sliding,
stays parallel to the wall while opening and closing. Sliding is
usually horizontal. In opened position the door may be exposed on
one side; a person leaning on that side when the door is closed, can
be hurt when the door is opened. Also an object can obstruct the
door. Sometimes the door is constructed such that in closed state
the sliding door forms a smooth continuation of the wall, e.g. in
the case of a sliding side door of a vehicle. The door may also
slide between two panels (pocket door). In the case of rotation, the
axis of rotation is usually vertical, but e.g. for garage doors
often horizontal, above the door opening. Sometimes the axis of
rotation is, with a special construction, not in the plane of the
door, on the other side than that in which the door opens, to reduce
the space required on the side to which the door opens. This is
sometimes the case in a train, for the door to the toilet, opening
inward. Many kinds of doors have specific names, depending on their
purpose. The most common variety of door consists of a single rigid
panel that fills the doorway, hinged along one side so that it can
fold away from the doorway in one direction but not in the other.
Many variations on this basic design are possible, such as "double"
doors that have two adjacent independent panels hinged on each side
of the doorway. A trapdoor is a door that is oriented horizontally
in a floor or ceiling, often accessed via a ladder. A stable door is
divided in half horizontally. The top half can be opened to allow
the horse to be fed, while the bottom half can be closed to keep the
animal inside. Stable doors are also known as dutch doors. A swing
door has special hinges that allow it to open either outwards or
inwards, and is usually sprung to keep it closed. Saloon doors are a
pair of lightweight swing doors often found in public bars. A blind
door is a door with no passage, a 'fake' door that is actually part
of the wall. It is used for decorative purposes. An up-and-over door
is often used in garages. Instead of hinges it has a mechanism,
often counterbalanced or sprung, that allows it to be lifted so that
it rests horizontally above the opening. A barn door is a door on a
barn. It is often/always found on barns, and because of a barn's
immense size (often) doors are subsequently big for utility. A
French door is a door that has multiple lights, the full length of
the door. Traditional French doors are assembled from individual
small pieces of glass and mullions. French doors made of double-pane
glass (on exterior doors for insulation reasons) may have the
decorative grill embedded between the panes. The decorative grill
may also be superimposed on top of single pane of glass in the door.
A louvre door has fixed or movable wooden fins (often called slats)
which permit open ventilation whilst preserving privacy and
preventing the passage of light to the interior. Being relatively
weak structures, they are most commonly used for wardrobes and
drying rooms, where security is of less importance than good
ventilation, although a very similar structure is commonly used to
form window shutters. A flush door is a completely smooth, panelled
door, having plywood or MDF fixed over a light timber frame, the
hollow parts of which are often filled with a cardboard core
material. Flush doors are most commonly employed in the interior of
a dwelling, although slightly more substantial versions are
occasionally used as exterior doors, especially within hotels and
other buildings containing many independent dwellings. A ledge and
brace door is a door made from multiple vertical planks fixed
together by two horizontal planks (the ledges) and kept square by a
diagonal plank (the brace). A garden door is any door that opens to
a garden or backyard. It is often used specifically for double
French doors in place of a sliding glass door. In such a
configuration, it has the advantage of a very large opening for
moving large objects in and out. A revolving door is a type of door
that typically consists of a structure with three or four panels
that meet in the center and rotate one way about a vertical axis
(sometimes the movement is not in a circle, but following a more
complicated path, a combination of rotation and translation).
Between the point of access and the point of exit the user walks
between two moving panels. The door may be motorized or the user
needs to push the front panel, and the space between two panels may
be designed for multiple users or a single one. This door design is
used primarily to maintain an air seal from the outside, thus
minimizing leaking of climate controlled air from the building and
the resulting expense of compensating for the loss. This type of
door is also often seen as a mark of prestige and glamour for a
building and it not unusual for neighbouring buildings to install
their own revolving doors when a rival building gets one. Automatic
doors are powered open and closed, a door fitted with a spring to
close it is not an automatic door. There are three methods by which
an automatic door is activated. |
