Mirrored Closet Doors: The Master Bedroom Standard

Mirrored closet doors are the standard specification for master bedroom closets in new construction because:

  1. Space perception: Mirrors make small bedrooms feel larger
  2. Function: Eliminates the need for a separate full-length mirror
  3. Value: Perceived as a premium feature by buyers

Available configurations:

  • Standard mirror (float glass, framed): $220–$380 per unit
  • Frameless mirror (edge-polished): $280–$440 per unit
  • Aluminum frame mirror: $250–$420 per unit

Louvered Closet Doors: Ventilation Applications

Louvered closet doors are required (or strongly recommended) for:

  • Laundry rooms (moisture and heat exhaust)
  • Water heater closets (combustion air)
  • HVAC equipment closets (air circulation)
  • Pantries (food storage ventilation)

Ventilation performance: Louvered doors provide 25–35% free area for air circulation.
