Construction and Materials
Simpson Door Company offers a diverse range of interior doors, crafted with attention to detail and a commitment to quality materials. Their extensive collection includes bifold, wood, panel, MDF, and fire-rated options, catering to various architectural styles and functional needs.
The construction of Simpson doors emphasizes durability and aesthetic appeal. Many of their wood doors are constructed using solid wood stiles and rails, which are the vertical and horizontal framing members of the door. This method provides inherent strength and stability. Panels, which are the flat sections within the door's frame, can be made from a variety of wood species, or in some cases, from MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) for specific designs and finishes.
For their MDF doors, Simpson utilizes this engineered wood product known for its smooth surface, making it an excellent substrate for painting. These doors are often constructed with a hollow core or a solid core, depending on the desired weight, sound insulation, and fire-rating requirements.
Simpson Door Company's product line includes:
- Bifold Doors: Ideal for closet openings and space-saving applications, these doors are typically constructed from wood or composite materials, featuring hinges that allow them to fold in half.
- Wood Doors: Available in a wide array of wood species such as Douglas Fir, Knotty Pine, Oak, Maple, and Cherry. Construction methods can include solid wood, stile and rail construction, and veneer options. The specific wood chosen impacts both the visual appearance and the door's performance characteristics.
- Panel Doors: These doors are characterized by their multiple panels, which can be raised, flat, or decorative. The construction varies, but often involves solid wood stiles and rails with panel inserts.
- MDF Doors: Engineered for a smooth, paintable surface, MDF doors are a versatile option for interior applications. They can be found in various designs, from simple flat panels to more elaborate routed patterns.
- Fire-Rated Doors: Designed to meet specific fire safety standards, these doors are constructed with specialized materials and techniques to provide a barrier against fire. The core materials and construction methods are engineered to achieve the required fire-resistance rating.
The materials used in Simpson doors are carefully selected for their performance, beauty, and sustainability. Common wood species are offered, allowing homeowners to match existing trim or create a specific aesthetic. For painted finishes, MDF provides a superior surface compared to wood grain which might show through. The company also uses various hardware components and construction adhesives to ensure the integrity and longevity of their doors.

Available species may include Douglas Fir, Pine, Oak, Maple, and others, each with unique grain patterns and hardness.

Frame Construction and Features
Simpson Door Company frames are engineered for quality and performance:
- Pre-hung Door Systems: Many interior doors are offered as pre-hung units, which include the door slab, frame, and hinges pre-assembled. This simplifies installation and ensures proper alignment.
- Jamb Depth Options: Frames are typically available in standard jamb depths to accommodate various wall thicknesses. Custom jamb depths can also be specified for non-standard walls.

Application Considerations
The choice of frame depends on several factors:
- Door Style: The frame profile and material should harmonize with the design of the door slab.
- Interior Design: Whether the interior is traditional, modern, or rustic will influence the selection of frame material and profile.

Simpson Door Company's commitment to quality craftsmanship extends to their frame options, providing homeowners and builders with reliable and aesthetically pleasing solutions for any interior door project.
Glass Options
Simpson Door Company offers a diverse selection of glass options to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of their interior doors. These options cater to various preferences for light, privacy, and decorative appeal.
Available Glass Types:
- Clear Glass: This is the standard option, providing maximum light transmission and an unobstructed view. It is ideal for spaces where natural light is a priority and privacy is not a concern.
- Obscure Glass: Designed for privacy, obscure glass diffuses light while obscuring the view. Simpson Door Company offers various types of obscure glass, each with a different level of privacy and visual texture. Examples include:
- Frosted Glass: Achieved through an etching process, frosted glass has a uniformly smooth, opaque surface that effectively blocks the view while allowing light to pass through.
- Textured or Patterned Obscure Glass: These options feature embossed patterns or textures on the glass surface, offering varying degrees of obscurity and adding a decorative element. Examples include reeded, hammered, or seeded patterns.
- Stained Glass: For a decorative and artistic touch, stained glass panels are available. These are crafted with colored glass pieces joined together to create intricate designs and vibrant visual effects.
- Leaded Glass: Similar to stained glass, leaded glass incorporates colored glass pieces, but they are typically held together with strips of lead, creating a distinct geometric or classic aesthetic.
- Tempered Glass: This is a safety glass that is heat-treated to be significantly stronger than regular glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, dull pieces, reducing the risk of serious injury. Tempered glass is often required for doors in certain applications or where safety is a paramount concern.
- Laminated Glass: Composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer (typically PVB), laminated glass offers enhanced safety and security. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, preventing them from scattering. It also provides sound dampening properties.
Decorative Glass Options:
Beyond the functional classifications, Simpson Door Company also provides decorative glass options that can significantly alter the appearance of a door:
- Beveled Glass: This glass has an angled or sloped edge, which refracts light and creates a prismatic effect, adding sparkle and visual interest to the door.
- Etched Glass: This refers to glass that has been decorated by removing a thin layer of material from its surface, typically using acid etching or sandblasting. This can create intricate patterns, designs, or frosted areas.
- Embossed Glass: Similar to textured glass, embossed glass has raised or sunken patterns on its surface, adding tactile and visual depth.
The specific availability of each glass type may vary depending on the door style, series, and any custom options selected. It is recommended to consult the product details for the specific door of interest to confirm the available glass choices.
