Flush / wall-aligned interior doors - experiences?

Hello everyone,

I am currently considering what type of interior door should be installed in the new building. In the process, I came across flush-mounted or wall-aligned doors. I have already done some research but hardly found any concrete information or practical experience. I especially find wall-aligned doors very beautiful in terms of aesthetics, as I like the simple and unobtrusive look, which greatly enhances the overall impression of the room. That is why I would like to use such doors. I understand that they are somewhat more expensive than standard doors. My questions regarding this:

[*]Are such doors still the exception, or are they now common practice?
[*]Does something need to be considered during the shell construction?
[*]What is your estimate of how much more expensive a flush-mounted or wall-aligned door is compared to a door with a standard frame? Including purchase price plus installation costs.
[*]Are there any arguments against such doors besides the price?

If such doors are out of the question due to price or other reasons, I would at least use flush-closing doors, probably with a magnetic latch...

Thanks for your experiences and input!

So, you find them in very few houses. The main reason is the price. A normal door costs 350 euros, a flush door 700 euros, and a flush-fitting door over 1000 euros. We have just under 20 doors, it would have been the extra cost of a small car.

So the topic was quickly off the table.

We have doors with concealed hinges and a magnetic catch on the ground floor. Anyone who knows their stuff notices that immediately.

[*]Still the exception, as they are significantly more expensive
[*]During shell construction, each door must be taken into account in its dimensions – depending on the type, you are dealing with dimensions that deviate from the standard.
[*]It depends on the model and the execution. Especially sleek and expensive are the flush doors with concealed frames.
[*]If they are very well made, you cannot see them and you can’t get out of the room anymore. If they are too cheap, the visible gaps are quite large and there is a slight draft. With concealed frames, dings are more annoying.

There is no obligation to use the same doors throughout the house. Our house has 5 interior doors. 2 normal, one flush, one glass swing door, and one glass sliding door.

We are or were faced with the same consideration. Here are a few thoughts:

- generally more expensive than classic doors
- different installation dimensions during shell construction
- installation usually also significantly more expensive, as the shell builder and plasterer have to work much more precisely

and what I find very important: look at how it works with attached baseboards. I think it simply doesn’t match at all. An alternative would then also be flush baseboards, which would significantly increase the price again. I also think that you always have to see it in connection with the entire wall. If I don’t have a fully flush wall anyway (sliding doors, closet, baseboards, etc.), then you can save yourself the flush doors (my opinion).

As a price-acceptable compromise, doors that close flush are suitable. They are not completely flush with the wall but flush with the frame. And you "save" the high effort with flush baseboards.

If money is no object, I would gladly install wall-flush doors. €1,500 per door + perfectly straight plaster + no baseboards or also flush would not be worth it to me...
