Recommendations for internal doors?

[markharro]

What are the issues I need to be considering? Don't really know where to start with these...what are the standard options for internal doors? Do "eco" products exist?

90% of what you buy will be chipboard core with a fancy timber on the face. 
unless you want to spend big bucks. 
I’ve just had a couple of nice looking doors £250 each, still chipboard core.

I can 100% recommend XL Joinery for internal doors. Fantastic quality and prices available from distributors are generally very competitive considering the quality. I replaced all our internal doors with Suffolk Oak from Travis Perkins, including FD30 doors.

Thanks Russell/Gary.......I guess we need to decide if we want a timber faced/solid door or a primed door for painting. Other than that there are 2 things - it seems hard to source a formaldehyde free door....the "prima plus" in this range is but it does not appear to be available in small quantities in the UK - https://halspan.com/product_type/3-layer-particle-board/?_product_range=non-fire-rated

 

The other thing is that we are thinking of having flush doors using this sort of hinge - https://www.carlislebrass.com/ceam-3d-concealed-hinge-1266

 

It look like quite a deep hole needs to be routed for a hinge like this - would that be an issue with a chipboard door?

 

I have found these which look like the Rolls Royce of doors but looks like they cost at least £600 upwards!! https://www.lathamtimber.co.uk/products/door-blanks/brands/moralt

No. Doors typically have a solid lipping on the sides, top, and bottom. The thickness of the lipping generally depends on the quality of the door - my XL Joinery doors have 20mm solid oak lippings. The hinges you mention would screw into the solid oak lipping as per the diagram below.
