Door Lining Selector & Buying Guide
Choosing the correct door lining depends on several factors, including the door size, finished wall thickness, required depth, timber or finish and whether the door is a standard internal door or an FD30 fire door. Our interactive door lining selector is designed to make choosing the right option easier.
Plywood Etc supplies door linings for internal doors in white primed, natural oak, walnut and black finishes, together with universal and trenched options for different installation requirements.
What size door lining do I need?
The correct door lining needs to accommodate the door and the finished wall construction. Common internal door widths include 610mm, 686mm, 762mm and 838mm, although other sizes and cut-down options are available.
What door lining depth do I need?
The lining depth should correspond to the finished wall thickness. Measure the complete wall including plasterboard, plaster, skim and other finished surfaces rather than relying only on the stud size.
White primed door linings
White primed door linings are a versatile choice for internal doors. They provide a clean paint-ready finish and work particularly well where the lining needs to match skirting, architrave or the door.
Oak door linings
Oak door linings provide a natural timber appearance and can be sanded, stained, sealed or finished on site. They are particularly suitable where the lining is intended to complement an oak door or other natural timber features. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Walnut door linings
Walnut provides a darker pre-finished appearance and can be used where the lining needs to coordinate with walnut doors and other darker interior finishes. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Black internal door linings
Black door linings provide a contemporary alternative to traditional white or natural timber finishes and are suited to modern refurbishment and new-build interiors. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

FD30 door lining installations require components that are suitable for the specified fire-door assembly. Plywood Etc offers universal and trenched FD30 white primed linings, including pre-grooved options for intumescent seals. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
