Common design directions
- Solid panel doors with decorative laser-cut or embossed detailing
- Frame-and-glass combinations for a lighter, more open look
- Grille/jali-style doors for ventilated entry points
What drives cost
- Size and structural framing — larger doors need heavier frame sections
- Design complexity — laser-cut patterns and custom motifs take more fabrication time than plain panels
- Hardware — hinges, locks and closers suited to the door's weight add cost beyond the steel itself
- Finish — PVD colour and mirror finishes cost more than standard hairline
Practical considerations
A stainless steel door is heavier than a standard wood or aluminium door — confirm the frame and hinge hardware are properly rated for the weight, not an afterthought. This is a fabrication-quality detail worth asking your fabricator about directly.
