Because both types provide maximum privacy, they are commonly used as doors to bedrooms and bathrooms. Glass panel interior doors, also referred to as interior French doors, allow light to penetrate from room to room, even as they delineate separate spaces.

Pocket doors are a classic solution providing privacy and aesthetic appeal while using space efficiently. Louvered doors are preferred when ventilation is necessary.
