Styles Of Plantation Closet Doors

Some people want a louvered door for their closet but they are unsure of how to find the right ones for their closet. Plantation closet doors are the perfect louvered doors because they fit the entire height of the doorway. Some of these doors are designed like a shutter and the louvers can be opened and closed according to the amount of air circulation you desire. This is one of the best features of these doors; they provide ventilation for air circulation and they are usually comprised of a composite wood, metal or vinyl. One of the most common woods is pine.

Plantation closet doors can come in a number of styles such as bifold and swing style. They are such a versatile door that they can be used almost anywhere in the home. The Wood Classics Plantation Style Composite Bi-Fold Door from homedepot.com is just one example of the style that these doors offer. It has a heavy duty track so that the doors do not jump the track and will fit an opening of 36” x 80”. It is model # 7303680800 and is available for $159.00. Some of these doors come as an unfinished door which means you can stain or paint them to match any décor in your home.

If you are looking more for a swing style door the Fixed Plantation Louvers over Colonial Raised Panel will fit the bill. This door is 1-7/8” thick and can be purchased in a number of sizes from shuttershack.com. Their prices will depend on the design, size and wood used in their construction but are reasonably priced for almost any budget. They make a great replacement door for a bedroom closet that may have an alternative form of door such as a sheet, curtains or drapes. They can also be used for a pantry, linen closet or utility closet.

One great example of unfinished plantation closet doors is the ReliaBilt 36” Louvered Solid Wood Core Wood Interior Bifold Door from lowes.com.

Many of the plantation closet doors have shutter style hinges on the louvers so you can adjust the amount of air and light the closet will get.
