Mexicano Door Variations - Any Experience?

[CatherineWebster]

Hi,
Having gained some good opinions last time, I thought I'd put this out.

I've sinced moved house and looking to replace all the internal doors, which are currently a mis-match.

I'm going for the classic Mexicano style, as they offer the glazing alternatives.

Question is, where I've been looking: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/mexicano-doors - there are variations by brand / distributor.

Climadoor Mexicano: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/mexicano-oak-internal-doors
LPD Belize: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/belize-oak-internal-doors
Deanta Ely: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/ely-oak-internal-doors
XL Joinery Suffolk: https://www.vividdoors.co.uk/internal-doors/suffolk-oak-internal-doors

There are more and I think Howdens also has their own. Has anybody had experience with any of those? Is it much of a muchness and simply down to price? I can't envisage that one unfinished (or prefinished) Mexicano is vastly different to the next in construction or quality?

Thanks in advance.

Hi - we replaced all our internal doors and additional doors in our loft conversion with these. There are many suppliers of this style and we shopped around until we found a bulk order price we were happy with. Away from home right now but will check my home renovation file when I get back and let you know who we used. We used internaldoors.co.uk for a glazed stable door version and they were very good in dealing with an issue we had. Re the fitting of the doors, we did it ourselves. They are quite heavy and need three coats of varnish, sanding in between each coat, to finish them to manufacturers’ warranty standards. Do look beautiful and we are very happy. Best of luck.

Just check with the supplier whether they are oak veneered all over as some are colour matched hardwood veneer in the grooves.
The Belize has narrower grooves and lipping so is a slightly more budget option.
