i am looking to do some cosmetic updating and looking about my holiday home the thing which dates it most is the 70s style dated doors--they are opaque and glass--i want to go contemporary but retain the light aspect due to the hallway needing light.--can anyone recommend where to go to buy doors and the kind of installation difficulties/price.--its the first job in what i see could be a project--next paintwork minus laborious doors!-its in the uk but i reside abroad and need pointing in the right direction to get things like this

any photos? oh and if its a Victorian property then it might be an idea to hang the doors towards the wall instead of in to the room but this means re doing the light switches.0

sorry to disappoint --its a 1970 concrete and brick, my last flat was victorian and had lovely panelled doors but some moron fire proofed them by laying asbestos on one side of them. i saw the flat and bought it as seen and then they did this 'upgrade' before i took ownership--bladdy estate agent developer type were the seller!--i got my own back because they missed the fact that above the place was a loft room that was windowed and i used as a third bedroom!mfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.0
