There are many reasons why homeowners should consider slab doors. Some of these benefits are listed below.
Slab doors are cheaper and lighter in weight than pre-hung doors.
Due to the lack of frame and hinges, slab doors are often less expensive than pre-hung doors. Although cheaper, installing a slab door requires precise measurements to ensure a proper fit. Also, slab doors have an advantage in terms of their weight over those that need a frame. It is straightforward to carry, unlike the pre-hung ones that a single person may find difficult to install due to weight.
The installation is easy and may not require hiring a professional
When you're simply swapping out a few doors, installing slab doors is likewise a doable DIY undertaking. For proper DIY installation, you may use an existing one as a pattern and recycle the hinges. So, all you need to do is have a template to use as a starting point.
Slab doors come in various designs.
