If you’re a new homeowner and are unsure of whether to choose single or double leaf door, read on to find out more about the differences.
For a quick summary, you can refer to the photo below.
Single Leaf Door
Single leaf, as the name suggests, comes in a single panel. It is 1 whole panel of door like your usual bedroom swing door.
Single leaf doors are most commonly found at HDB and Condo homes and are also generally more affordable as compared to double leaf doors.
Double Leaf Door
Double leaf doors usually come in 2 forms, equal and unequal leaf.
Equal leaf doors have 2 panels that are of the same size, and are commonly found at landed homes.
Unequal leaf would come in 1 big and 1 small panel, making them unequal.
Both panels can either be opened simultaneously or one can remain fixed while the other opens.
Double leaf doors are commonly found at HDB and Condo.
Which One Should I Pick?
Most HDB and Condo management in Singapore would have strict requirements about the type of doors, and some would only allow double leaf doors, so it would largely depend on the requirements.
Double leaf doors are wider and frequently used for larger entries, creating a more grand and accommodating appearance while single leaf doors are easier to use and narrower, making them suited for smaller openings.
Thus, the exact requirements and limitations of the location where they are to be installed determine which option is best.
