Decorative panels and overlays will update the appearance of the door, make it elegant and harmoniously fit into the interior. Such a decorative element has the status of an auxiliary, which allows you to make a real work of art out of an ordinary door. This is a fairly low-cost way to quickly update familiar and already rather boring elements.
Decorative panels for doors can be made from pressed fibreboard (MDF), which can be finished in a variety of materials such as wood veneer, infill, PVC film and plastic. Each of them is used in specific conditions, therefore, has its own characteristics, as well as advantages and disadvantages.
Decorative MDF panels are moisture resistant, which allows them to be used for finishing doors leading to rooms with high humidity. In addition, their production is considered more environmentally friendly and less expensive.
Decorative plastic panels represent polymers of various configurations in their structure, as a result of which they may have differentproperties. Any pattern can be applied to this type of finish to give expressiveness or to mask the space of the door. Technologically, plastic is applied to the outer surface of the leaf, which significantly increases the resistance of the door to wear and aging.
Plastic is an artificial material that has an aesthetic appearance, special strength and durability.
Decorative wood veneer panels amaze with natural patterns. A similar coating is applied to the doors of the elite class, because they have an expensive, presentable and exclusive look.
PVC Film Finish Decorative Panel is a polyvinyl chloride coating applied to MDF boards. Like plastic, PVC film has many positive qualities, such as high mechanical resistance, increased moisture resistance, and it also withstands various weather conditions, including sudden temperature changes. It will not fade even in direct sunlight.
Infill, which is also used to cover decorative door panels, is a less expensive alternative to veneered boards. The production technology of these overlays is similar, therefore, the technological and operational characteristics will be close to those of natural wood veneer.
Currently, the coating of decorative panels made of anti-vandal plastic has become the most popular, relevant and in demand. Similar optionIt will be an excellent solution for those who have mischievous pets or small children at home. Anti-vandal coating, performed using a special lamination of MDF boards, has not only an increased level of impact and scratch resistance, but also a particularly high temperature resistance.
There are two types of decorative panels made of anti-vandal plastic: for indoor and outdoor use. The former have an exceptionally smooth finish, while the latter can be decorated with various textures or moldings.
