FRENCH DOOR:
French doors come in elegant designs. They come with glad panels and light is allowed to stream into the interiors through these glass panels. These doors open from the Centre and can be perfect back. These are perfect for garden-facing rooms.

Exterior door:
This refers to any door such as the main door in the house or the back door. This one usually leads from the Outside into the home. Exterior doors are more heavy duty than interior doors, and usually have a sturdy lock system. These are
weatherproof and painted or stained with a quality product which help it last long.
Automatic doors
These are usually installed in department stores or supermarkets so that customers who have their hands full with shopping bags can easily pass though them and therefore not have to use their hands.

DIFFERENT MATERIALS:
Doors can be made from different materials. The type of materials that you choose affects the price of the doors. Doors can be made from wood such as teak, mahogany, cherry wood, and others. They can also be made from UPVC, which is on Special hard plastic material that is very commonly used in the chemical industry. UPVC is know to be very durable and unlike wood, it is not prone to flaking rusting or rotting. If you want to brighten up the interior by allowing more light to come in from the outside, you may consider installing glass panels. There is variety available in glass panels also; you can choose from glazed and non-glazed glasses. Glazed glass is made of two glass panels that are sealed together. There is a pocket of air between these two panels, and this pocket of air acts an insulator.

HOWTO CHOOSE:
There is no right or wrong way of choosing a door, but checking Out what's in the market or at your friends and relatives houses can help you make a good choice. If you want you can also get professional advice from an interior designer to learn which type is suitable for the place you have in mind. But there are a few things that you must keep in mind.

In each building, windows and doors play a decisive role for thermal insulation. With well-targeted measures, you can exploit great energy saving potentials.

When disputes between Nakarattars arose due to private misunderstanding, Nakaravitutis along with temples and Saivite monastries (matams), provided venues for extraordinary meetings of the Community to resolve disputes. These meetings Were held under the jurisdiction of a respected elder or elders in the Concerned Community and were called Panchayats - on the pan (Indian model) - although disputes were typically mediated or arbitrated by a single person.
