PM Mendes Internal Doors

The Express Doors Direct PM Mendes Internal Doors Range

PM Mendes makes internal doors across a range of timber species, finishes, and styles. You will find options in warm oak, lightweight pine, and rich walnut built to suit both traditional and modern setups.

We supply unfinished doors for custom painting, primed options ready for a quick topcoat, and prefinished models you can hang straight out of the box. Glazed doors come with clear or frosted toughened glass to let light move between rooms. Popular profiles include:

• The clean vertical lines of the Mexicano
• The classic period detail of the Islington pine
• The simple panels of the Corsica range

Solid interior doors

Solid doors feature engineered particleboard or solid timber cores that reduce noise transmission between rooms. These heavy-core options add structural weight and durability, making them ideal for bedrooms, offices, and busy living spaces.

We stock PM Mendes solid doors in oak and pine. Their engineered construction prevents warping and twisting from moisture changes, keeping the door running smoothly in the frame.

Glazed interior doors

Glazed doors use toughened safety glass to bring natural light into darker spaces like hallways and landings. Glass panes sit securely in solid timber frames to maintain structural strength while brightening your home.

These styles work best between kitchen-diners, living rooms, and home offices where you want to split space without blocking light.

Prefinished, primed and painted options

Picking the right finish on day one saves time on site and helps avoid extra painting work:

• Prefinished doors: Sealed with a durable factory lacquer, ready to hang straight away without sanding or painting
• Primed doors: Coated in smooth white primer, ready for your chosen paint topcoat
• Unfinished doors: Bare natural timber, ideal if you want to apply custom stains, oils, or specific paint colours

Internal fire doors

PM Mendes produces FD30-rated fire doors designed to resist fire and smoke for 30 minutes. Building regulations require these doors in key areas like loft conversions, house-to-garage access points, and multi-storey properties.

You can match your fire doors with standard 35mm doors across the house, as popular styles like the Mexicano, Marlborough, and Corsica come in FD30 options.

What to look for in PM Mendes doors

Checking construction details, timber grain, and fire ratings before you buy ensures your install goes without a hitch. PM Mendes uses solid timber lippings and stable engineered cores to simplify fitting and prevent site issues later.

Construction and core

PM Mendes builds doors with solid or engineered particleboard cores rather than hollow honeycomb centres. High-density cores give the door extra weight, improve soundproofing, and make the leaf feel sturdy in operation.

Engineered cores also restrict natural timber movement, keeping the door straight over time.

Finish and appearance

To match new doors with existing frames and trim, select a matching surface finish. Real timber veneers give you natural oak and walnut grain, while durable laminates offer a uniform shade across multiple fittings.

If you are painting doors to match specific skirtings or walls, white primed or unfinished timber options give you full control over the final finish.

Fire rating and certification

Always verify FD30 certification on your plans where fire safety compliance is mandatory. Fire doors feature a thicker 44mm leaf compared to standard 35mm internal doors.

Hardware, locks and security

Heavy solid-core doors perform best when paired with the right ironmongery. We suggest fitting heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges to support the weight properly over time.

Choose latches and locks that suit your frame depth, and pick handles that complement the timber tone or finish you selected.

Door sizes and fit

PM Mendes supplies standard UK door sizes from 457mm up to 838mm wide at 1981mm high, along with 2040mm metric heights for modern builds.

Check the solid timber lipping dimensions on the product page before trimming, so you stay within stated allowances when fitting to out-of-square linings.

How to choose the right PM Mendes door

1. Measure your linings: Take precise height, width, and depth measurements across the frame before picking a size
2. Check safety rules: Identify openings that need FD30 fire resistance to comply with building regulations
3. Select core type: Pick solid-core construction to reduce room-to-room noise or glazed options to brighten dark areas
4. Select a finish state: Pick prefinished doors for quick installation, or primed timber if you plan to paint
5. Match hardware: Select hinges, latches, and handles that match your chosen door leaf and existing hardware
