Specifying and living with this door
Proportioned panelling, cornice and moulding, book-matched stone and warm gilt detail on ivory. That governs every material decision on this page — the layout and the storage strategy come first, and door is where the classic luxe palette gets applied to a plan that already works.
A specification is only as good as what happens after handover. door in this style is chosen as much for how it ages as for how it photographs on day one — the joinery finish, the hardware grade and the way an edge is sealed all show up in year three, long after the render is forgotten.
Classic Luxe is a coherent palette rather than a fixed rule, and most finished homes borrow across two styles rather than committing to one throughout. What rarely works is switching the palette room to room within one sightline — the transition needs a threshold, a change of material, or a corridor to read as intentional rather than accidental.
The specification below is what we issue to the factory and the site for this exact style and layout. It is also what a warranty is enforced against, which is why it is written as grades and dimensions rather than as adjectives.
Nothing on this page is a fixed catalogue item. The layout, the palette and every material line are redrawn against your own room dimensions before anything is priced — what you see here is the starting specification, not the finished drawing.
Classic Luxe suits a household that already knows roughly what it wants a door to feel like, rather than one still deciding between opposites — the palette is distinctive enough that it rewards commitment and looks unresolved applied half-heartedly.
This reads best in a home where at least the adjoining rooms share the same direction, even if not the same materials. Classic Luxe carried into one room and abandoned at the next doorway tends to make both rooms look like an afterthought rather than a choice.
If you are drawn to classic luxe but unsure it will hold up to daily use, that is worth raising directly at the survey — the palette can usually be adapted toward more forgiving materials without losing the character that made it appealing in the first place.
Worth checking before sign-off
- Check the opening size on site before ordering anything. Indian civil openings are rarely square, and the frame absorbs the error only if it is measured first.
- Decide the swing direction with the furniture layout in hand. A door that opens against a switchboard or a bed is a permanent irritation.
- For external doors and windows, specify the glass for the orientation. West-facing glazing without a low-E coating turns a room unusable in summer.
- Ask about the frame-to-wall interface. Water ingress at the frame joint, not through the product, causes most window failures.
- For acoustic performance, the seal and the frame do the work, not the leaf thickness alone.
- Confirm hardware handing and finish at the order stage — the lock, hinge and handle are all handed items.
Living with it
- Lubricate hinges and locks once a year with a dry lubricant, not oil, which attracts dust.
- Clean sliding tracks quarterly; grit is what wears a roller and makes a heavy slide.
- Check external frame sealant annually before the monsoon and renew where it has separated.
- Wipe condensation off double-glazed frames in winter in northern cities to protect the seal.
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Ordering before the floor level and finish are decided.
- Using an interior-grade leaf in a bathroom, where humidity delaminates it from the bottom edge.
- Skipping the sub-frame on an aluminium system, which makes future replacement destructive.
- Choosing an oversized single leaf that no hinge set can carry without dropping.
The classic luxe palette does not carry an inherent price premium over the other five — what changes the estimate is leaf construction and species of the face., which applies whichever style you choose, and glazing specification — double glazing and low-E coatings are the biggest single variable., which is more common in this palette specifically. Hardware, which on a pivot or a sliding system can exceed the leaf cost.
Detailing
Finer points of this door
A door reads best when its frame is either flush with the wall plane or expressed deliberately. The half-hearted 12mm architrave is what makes joinery look builder-grade.
Floor clearance should be set for the finished floor plus any rug. Doors planed on site after flooring never look right at the bottom edge.
Pivot doors need a structural head and a level floor. Both are civil decisions taken long before the door is ordered.
Where a door leads to a bathroom, undercut it for return air or the exhaust fan will not move anything.
Questions
Door in Classic Luxe — answered
Is a warranty provided?
Yes, on manufacturing and finish. Hardware carries the manufacturer's own warranty, which is why we specify hardware by model rather than by category.
How is Door measured and ordered?
The opening is measured on site after plaster, with the finished floor level marked. Ordering from a drawing dimension instead of a site dimension is the most common cause of a door that never closes properly.
What is the lead time?
Four to eight weeks for made-to-order work. Site measurement, shop drawing approval and factory production are the three stages, and the approval stage is usually the one that slips.
Does it need maintenance?
Annual hardware lubrication, quarterly track cleaning where it slides, and an annual check of external sealant. That is all a well-installed opening needs.
Can it improve sound insulation?
Yes, substantially, but through the seal and frame rather than the leaf alone. A well-sealed solid-core door outperforms a heavier door hung with gaps.
Questions
Door questions
What is a good internal door height?
2,100mm is standard, but 2,400mm — or full slab height — makes a dramatic difference to how tall a room reads, and it costs surprisingly little more.
Are pivot doors practical?
For a wide entrance or study door, yes. They need a good floor spring and a level threshold, and they do not seal as well as a hinged door, so they are a poor choice for a bedroom or a bathroom.
Solid-core or hollow-core doors?
Solid-core everywhere you want acoustic separation — bedrooms, bathrooms, study. Hollow-core is acceptable only for utility and storage doors.
Should door frames be concealed?
A concealed frame gives the cleanest result but must be installed before plastering and costs considerably more. A slim square-edge frame is the practical compromise.
