Modern housing is unimaginable without beautiful doors. Once used only for security purposes, today they have become an important detail of the interior. Entrance and interior doors are able to create a special entourage, harmoniously fitting into the atmosphere of the house. Creating an intriguing veil, they stir the imagination and curiosity, allowing you to build a variety of assumptions about what is behind them.
The opinion about the owner of the house is already formed at his doorstep. A solid front door made of solid wood and decorated with elements of artistic forging demonstrates the viability and high aesthetic taste of its owner. Bulky steel - reminds of the practicality of the inhabitant of the dwelling, but the nondescript canvas, humbly serving the remnants of a clearly rather large service life - about the carelessness of the owner. Door sizes can vary.however, as well as their design.
Features and properties
Modern entrance doors not only protect against undesirable environmental influences, but also have burglary protection and fire-fighting properties. Moreover, some of them are equipped with special metal linings in the places where the doors fit to the frame. This excludes the possibility of removing the door from the "hinges". Some manufacturers equip the locks with an armored pad that is resistant to any drill.
The dimensions of the entrance doors depend on the opening in the wall. In apartment buildings, ready-made standard canvases can be installed. As for private property, then most often you have to make the necessary model to order.
When measuring a doorway, it is necessary to take into account not only the width and height, but also the material of the walls, the presence of voids and communications in them. The load-bearing elements are also important, which determine the technical feasibility of strengthening or altering the hole for specific door sizes.
Facing the entrance depends on the technology of the manufacturer and the wishes of the customer. The most common materials for this are MDF panels, veneer, wood and laminate.
What, how and from what is done
In the manufacture of interior door panels, the same materials are used as in the facing of the entrance. Solid wood products are considered the most worthy and expensive. However, most models are chipboard.
On the market ina huge range of interior glazed and deaf doors. They are made both from solid wood and from bars or boards glued together in a special technological way. Paneled doors are frames made of a similar material, where pieces of chipboard, chipboard or plastic plywood are inserted.
The reason for making the necessary model to order may be the desire to give the room an individual style or non-standard door sizes.
What is the cheapest product? These are shield doors. They consist of a frame, which is filled with boards or cardboard filler for rigidity. Sheets of facing material are glued on top of such a frame, in particular, orgolite, plywood and MDF.
Special aesthetic pleasure is delivered by models of doors with glass. Modern technologies make it possible to create this transparent material as reliable as possible in terms of injury risk. These include triplex glass. The increased strength of the material is determined by the technology of its production, where several layers of glass are glued together with a special polymer film. It's very hard to break it down. But even if it is broken, there will be no small fragments: everything remains on the adhesive film.
Tempered glass is also a safe material. Its strength is achieved through heat treatment. When destroyed, it shatters into small pieces without sharp fragments.
Basic requirements
When choosing interior doors, the sizes and design of which can be very different, do not be afraidseem like a picky shopper. Particular attention should be paid to the elements of the door block. Its frame must be made of natural wood, and not from a single piece. To avoid subsequent deformation, it is made by gluing several bars, both in width and length.
It is necessary to check the canvas for flatness using a level. Compliance with the ideal rectangular shape is checked by measuring the diagonals of the canvases, the dimensions of the lengths of which should not differ by more than 2 mm. Distortion of the correct form affects not only the size of the doors, but also their proper closing.
