We are delighted to announce that we now stock all sizes of white painted louvre doors on an exclusive basis. With special sizes of louvre door that are only available at Simply Shutters.

If you have ever thought to yourself do I need a louvre door, consider that they are no longer considered old fashioned but instead extremely versatile, durable, and competitively priced, so the answer to that question is quite probably yes.

White Louvre Doors Installation

Louvre doors can be used in many different applications such as airing cupboard doors, wardrobe doors, cupboard doors and even as main room doors. The gaps between the louvre blades allow consistent airflow that is especially beneficial on areas that are susceptible to musty smells (ie. wardrobes) or require constant ventilation.

With plenty of stock available for unpainted pine doors, it felt like the choice of sizes for white painted doors was very limited.

So, we decided to make the decision to stock an increased range of white painted louvre doors to ensure customers had better access to the sizes they needed but could not find.

As a result we now supply 12 different heights across 12 widths in the White painted interior louvre door range. This includes the all new 2200mm tall door as well as the previously discontinued 42″ /1067mm tall door providing our customers with a total of 64 variations in size to choose from.

In addition to the ventilation louvre doors provide one of the other benefits are the different variations of sizes and how much choice is available. For example, our ranges start from 457mm tall up to our tallest 2200mm option with ten other heights available in between.  Not only that but there are plenty of width choices to choose from. Widths start from 305mm (12”) ranging up to 762mm (30”).

All white painted louvre doors sold by Simply Shutters are factory painted white and are ready to hang with no painting required making them an extremely popular choice because of the time that can be saved in preparing an unfinished louvre door for painting. The doors are built to the highest quality standards, whilst also having the added benefit of engineered stiles to ensure problems such as bowing or splitting (that can afflict lower quality doors) does not occur.

With over 3000 louvre doors in stock ready for fast dispatch we truly believe we offer the fastest service, unbeatable door quality and unmatched choice to be found anywhere in the UK.

Simply Shutters will always be a name you can rely on.

Some Frequently asked questions about louvre doors:

Can louvre doors be cut to size?

There is certainly some allowance for trimming on Simply Shutters’ louvre doors. Trimming a total of 20mm from the height overall (10mm from the top and 10mm from the bottom) will give you some flexibility but anymore than this is not recommended. We would also recommend trimming no more than 8mm total (4mm from each side) from the width.

Which way up do louvre doors go?

If you are unsure which way up the louvres should face on a louvre door the best thing to do is hold the door in front of you and look at it. The louvre blades should be angled facing down and pointing to the ground so you cannot see through the gaps. If a louvre door is turned “upside down” the blades would be facing upwards meaning you are able to see through the gaps.

How to install louvre doors?

The versatility of interior louvre doors means there are various different options for installing. Placing the louvre doors onto a slide rail to achieve a sliding door effect is a popular option, as well as adjoining 2 louvre doors together to achieve a bi-fold effect.

Can you replace louvres in a door?

The louvre blades in our louvre doors are not glued into position that means if a louvre blade needs to be replaced this can be achieved easily.

How do you measure a louvre door?

When measuring the door opening you will need to measure both the height and the width. Starting with the width, first take a measurement from the top, the middle and from the bottom. This will give you 3 measurements.

Do the same for the height of the door measuring from the right hand side, middle and left hand side. You will be left with 3 width and 3 height measurements. Choose the smallest measurements from each to determine the size of the door you need. You will also need to consider door movement and hinge placement. Generally we recommend adding an additional 2-3mm all-round the door/s to allow for this. If you are also installing on carpet you will need to take this into account too.
