It's a trend-definitely. And the king-size, floor-to-ceiling door will be an increasingly important sales feature in new homes. The tip-off comes from a survey conducted at the NAHBMasonite Research House at Knoxville, Tenn. These tall doors won 77/6 of the votes from consurner visitors.

It's easy to see why:

1. Even smaller rooms seem more spacious.

2. Air circulation is improved. Rooms are easier to heat and air-condition.

3. Room planning is easier. The door becomes a decorative unit, not an awkward intermption in a wall.

Building is better, rnore econotnical, too.

No more framing-in above the door. Even in small homes the savings are substantial.

No weak spots above the door to cause annoying plaster cracks.
