First of all, the cost of slim-frame doors is typically higher. This isn’t just due to the materials themselves, but also includes the expenses associated with fabrication and installation. Furthermore, slim-frame doors demand a higher standard of installation. Any oversight can easily lead to uneven gaps, compromising both aesthetics and practicality.
Honestly, standard slim-frame doors are attractive enough and relatively more affordable. Compared to ultra-slim frame doors, they are not only less expensive but also offer more variety and are easier to repair. Let’s face it, the lifespan of modern home fixtures isn’t what it used to be. Opting for a more universal door style will make future replacement and repairs much more straightforward.
The same logic applies to glass selection. Double-pane glass is an excellent choice, providing transparency without compromising privacy. You can opt for double sandblasted glass, or do what I did: use one pane of reeded glass and one pane of sandblasted glass. There are also many options for reeded glass itself. I chose a very fine-pattern reeded glass, which looks more refined and offers better opacity.
