Alternatives to wooden door linings

Seasons greetings.

 

Might be one for the OMG why’s he done that thread…

 

Anyway, the house is coming together very slowly and I’m now starting to really think about doors and stuff.  Downstairs is pretty open, no private rooms as such apart the w/c which will have a conventional wooden door liner and door, all other rooms, it’s open season and glazed doors will be the plan.

 

My opening depths range from a couple at 150mm to 300mm through a cavity wall.  I don’t mind wooden door linings, it’s just I’d like to consider alternatives.

 

Rather than hit up the tried and tested timber door linings, I fancy something different.  Is there a narrow door frame system that would say fix into the opening, allowing me to plasterboard through the openings?  I got this idea when I was sat looking at the my external aluminium external door, the frame isn’t very deep, and this look appealed to me.

 

Is there such a door product for inside?

Just get the narrowest off the shelf door liner and fit that then plaster board up to it.  As you say just like an external door.

 

You now have the choice of door liner flush with one edge, or in the middle.........

They do steel linings for commercial applications. These are normally not much wider than the door and a small stop, so 60mm wide ish. 
 

however if you do a narrow lining then bring plasterboard into the reveal you will get a lot of damage to the corner, door linings and architrave take a fair beating.

Or buy a “normal” one and cut it down to what you want.

A google search for internal steel doors reveals some good results, good pictures too, which give me an idea of what I might be looking for.
