The service life of interior doors is years. Service life of interior doors with aluminum profiles

The first question that arises when you need to choose a door is what this door should be made of. Here we will look at the designs of doors, frames, trims and try to answer the question: MDF or Solid.

MDF interior door.

It must be said right away that the name MDF is incorrect. They are correctly called red-honeycomb, or lightweight, doors, because such doors have a frame and a honeycomb filling. Now more details.

This door consists of wooden frame along the perimeter of the door, which is covered on both sides with two sheets of MDF - plywood, made in a special way from sawdust (hence the name). To prevent the sheets from bending, there is a special sheathing inside, glued in the form of a honeycomb, which stands on the edge. In cheap doors it is made of cardboard. There are expensive ones different variants, most often from MDF.

Solid wood interior door.

There's nothing wrong with the name here. The door is made of wood, more precisely from bars glued together in a special way. The more expensive the door, the larger the bars and fewer places gluing. There are panel doors, which are first glued together into a sheet, and then patterns are cut out on them. There are prefabricated ones, when each element of the door is made separately, and then they are assembled on ties (usually they consist of 4-5 parts: the upper crossbar, the lower crossbar, the right and left posts and the patterns, glass, panel between them).

Now about the pros and cons of designs

Advantages of MDF doors:

• of course, the price: they are significantly cheaper than their wooden counterparts
• the door weight is significantly less, so you can buy the cheapest hinges and sliding mechanisms
• sound and heat insulation is significantly higher than that of wooden doors.
• the dimensions practically do not change, regardless of the weather and time of year.
• high moisture resistance.

Disadvantages of MDF doors:

• at cheap doors with cardboard honeycomb filler low mechanical strength compared to wooden doors.
• Worse to restore (from my experience: many people prefer to change doors rather than restore them)
• There are few offers for individual orders (usually factory production for standard openings)
• Not suitable for entrance doors
• Service life - 10-15 years.

Advantages of solid wood doors:

• High mechanical strength
• Greater variety of models (almost any design) and the ability to manufacture for almost any opening,
• Easy to restore, which is much cheaper than replacing doors
• Suitable for entrance doors
• Service life - more than 20 years.

Disadvantages of solid wood doors:

• difficult to determine the quality of wood
• Significantly lower sound and heat insulation compared to MDF.
• Subject to fluctuations in temperature, humidity, season (swell in summer, dry out in winter)
• more severe operating conditions than with MDF
• more expensive accessories for sliding doors.
• higher price.

Most experts claim that panel doors made from solid, expensive wood are the most durable due to their strength. This is indeed a true statement. But there is one nuance here - not every valuable wood is solid in structure. Therefore, it should be clarified that doors made of hard, expensive wood are considered the most durable. This aspect is especially true in the case when the production of door panels occurs in strict compliance with basic rules and regulations. Then, wood products will have a fairly long service life, sometimes even exceeding the average human lifespan. But the price for such doors is appropriate. According to data provided by door stores in Europe, the cost of a door leaf highest quality varies from $700 to several tens of thousands.

Despite the high quality of doors made from solid wood, the most popular products are still considered to be products of lower quality. price category. They are usually less durable and cannot have a long service life, but are more affordable. This is usually door leaves from soft types of wood. The most popular among them are interior doors made of pine. The material for the manufacture of such doors is quite soft and, therefore, cannot have high strength, which necessarily affects the service life of the entire door structure. The durability of pine doors does not exceed several decades, and this is subject to the rules of use and care. It is recommended to periodically coat the surface of the pine door leaf with paint; this will help protect the door from unwanted deformations and drying out over time.

A high-quality and durable product means that it can be used for a long time without any updates. The same goes for doors and windows. For example, just a few decades ago it was believed that wooden frames the most durable ones, however, they constantly had to be tinted and put in order. With the advent of plastic structures, wooden windows and doors faded into the background, since the new invention does not require additional annual touch-up and maintenance. Yes, the service life of plastic is much longer than that of wooden structures.

The service life of doors depends on:

• Wear resistance and surface strength (and this applies to the entire door structure as a whole, and not just the door leaf).
• The quality of the varnish used to cover the surface of the doors should provide additional wear resistance; sudden closing of the doors, periodic cleaning of the surface, exposure to sunlight on the door leaf and some household liquids should be taken into account here. Good varnish is able to protect the surface of doors for 10 years.
• Technology of gluing decorative coatings. The decorative material glued on top of the door leaf to give it an aesthetically attractive appearance is artificial veneer or, in the case of expensive doors, natural veneer. Most often, the quality of gluing depends entirely on the technology used by the manufacturer. Sometimes artificial material is faithfully glued to the surface of the doors, then there is a possibility of using such a product for more than 50 years. But, there are cases when the manufacturer initially produces economy class doors, and accordingly, the quality of fastening decorative material to the door itself an order of magnitude lower.
• Resistant to temperature and humidity changes or warping.
• High-quality door structures can withstand truly draconian operating conditions. Neither the heat in the sultry summer, nor the low temperatures in winter period should not have a visible effect on the door surfaces. That is, there should be no warping.

The tone of the door is determined by its style. Therefore, before you choose an interior door to your apartment, either a private house- decide on the style. Three styles are especially popular among our customers: modern, classic and high-tech. To begin with, you can opt for them - these are the basic styles.

Deciding on a style

Classics have been in demand for centuries and date back to antiquity. If you are a conservative at heart who values ​​tradition and does not want unnecessary experiments, then this is your style. Its main advantage is that it is stylistically impeccable, and therefore will fit into any interior.

There are many directions in the classics, but two favorites can still be distinguished: baroque and classicism. Baroque is characterized by pretentiousness, excessive luxury, and many elements with gilding and stucco. Classicism is more restrained in decor, its credo is “everything is good in moderation.”

Character traits:

warm light shades

stucco decorations on the ceiling

expensive furniture made of valuable wood

glass or crystal chandelier with pendants

symmetry in furniture arrangement and decorative elements

luxury goods, antiques: expensive vases, Wall Clock, figurines, etc.

Depending on the direction of the classical style to which the interior of your room or apartment is close - baroque or classicism - your choice should be on an interior door with a certain finish. For example, on a door in white or brown tones, with slender capitals with stucco or classical pattern, with carved handles in bronze or accented with gilding.

In spacious apartments with high ceilings or in separate houses classic style especially appropriate.

The next direction is modern. Despite the “eternity” of the classics, it was he who managed to become a favorite of styles for several decades, including the 2000s. And there is no accident in this. Like the classics, modernity is characterized by a commitment to tradition. However, in the latter one can no longer find that geometric rigor and sublimity - in the first place here is the smoothness and variety of lines.

Character traits:

use of natural elements and ornaments

smooth ornate lines in interior decoration

rounded furniture with curved legs

unlimited color range with a predominance of red, green, brown, gray tones, as well as bright splashes against a background of neutral, calm shades

wallpaper and curtains with rich patterned prints

mosaic, stained glass, forged elements

Appearance doors in the Art Nouveau style are curved lines, a natural color pattern on the surface of the canvas or on a glass insert, and the use of bright stained glass. If you choose between classic and modern, it is purely a matter of taste, except, perhaps, that modern can show a little simpler.

Finally, high-tech. Functional, simple, no frills - that's all about it. A style for those who value minimalism and free space.

Character traits:

minimum furniture

pronounced functionality

abstract paintings, conceptual art objects

strict regular forms of furniture

use of glass and metal elements in decoration

the color scheme is arranged in two ways: everything is done in the same color, but in different shades, or expressively emphasized contrast

High-tech interior doors have strict shapes and simple designs, complemented by finishing in the form of glossy, aluminum or opaque glass inserts. The calling card of high-tech is its restraint, where the minimalism of forms is compensated by the richness of the material. At the same time, this is a modern urban style, where it is not pretentious forms that are important, but texture and naturalness.

Interior door material - which one is better to choose?

The most popular on the market interior doors are considered:

solid wood

natural veneer

Fibreboard or chipboard

1. Solid wood doors are considered quite an expensive piece of furniture. Therefore, here you pay exclusively for the advantages of such a door: durability, environmental friendliness and strength.

But there is one nuance: not all interior doors, proudly called “solid doors” by manufacturers, are actually made of solid wood.

Sometimes the wood species can make up only a certain part of the canvas - that is, it looks like a door trim. In simple words - a scam for the same money.

Dispelling Myths

Is it true that solid wood doors are resistant to changes in temperature and humidity?

No it is not true. Door leaf under action natural factors can change shape, or, in simple terms, sag.

Manufacturers have learned to deal with this unpleasant fact. Instead of solid layers of wood, they connect parts of it.

The point is to remove all internal “roughness” from a large layer: knots, irregularities, resin pockets, etc., and connect the remaining high-quality places using mini-tenon splicing technology. This is how a spliced ​​beam is obtained.

This design is no longer deformed under the influence of temperature and moisture, and the parameters of the door leaf remain completely unchanged. A door made of spliced ​​beams will last longer than just a door made of solid wood.

Add to it:

health safety. This is a definite advantage for both adults and children, whose growing bodies are more susceptible to toxic products.

appearance. Interior doors made of solid wood are superior in appearance to others: unique and varied patterns on the surface of the door retain the natural beauty of wood

Perhaps the main disadvantage of such doors is the high price. The cost of interior doors made of oak, ash or pine starts from 50 thousand rubles. The richer the finish, the higher the price. Particularly valuable species of rare trees cost more than 60 thousand rubles.

2. MDF doors. MDF is a medium density fiberboard, or simply put, a board made from pressed wood. Quite a popular option on the market for interior doors in the “price/quality” category.

Pros: durability (at least 10 years), lightness of the door (from 11 kg), the ability to decorate with almost any color, much more low price compared to interior doors made of solid wood. If we compare the latter with MDF, it turns out that the latter also better tolerates high humidity and temperature, which means it will not come apart or swell over time.

Of the minuses: doors from natural wood look better than MDF doors. Although this minus can easily be turned into a plus by covering the door with natural veneer.

3. Doors made of fiberboard(fibreboards) and chipboards (chipboards). Most a budget option when choosing interior doors - from 1-2 thousand rubles. When choosing an interior door, you can't find a better price. But better in price, as is usually the case, does not mean better in quality.

Of course, besides the price, there is another main and undeniable advantage of such doors - increased resistance to damage and moisture, good heat and sound insulation.

Of the minuses: it is heavier than natural wood, as well as the presence of formaldehyde in the composition (only types E1 and E2 are environmentally friendly).

How to choose interior door finishing material

It's time to move on to choosing the finishing material for the interior door. Among the popular ones we highlight:

natural veneer

• PVC film

1. Natural veneer - an option from the “price/quality” category, combining natural beauty wood and reasonable cost. It is a thin slice of wood that is placed on the door leaf.

If you chose MDF as the door leaf material, and natural veneer as the finishing, then in terms of quality and appearance such a door is practically indistinguishable from a door made of solid wood.

A little more about the production of veneer. It is made as follows: the tree trunk is fixed and planed along the grain. The resulting long wood sheets 0.6 mm thick are stacked in the order of their planing - a knol.

This manufacturing method allows for further finishing of the interior door to create a harmonious pattern illustrating the long-term life history of the tree.

Advantages:

durability and wear resistance (at least 10 years). High-quality veneer doors can be used in rooms with high humidity; they are resistant to scratches and dents.

variety of colors. Unlike solid wood, natural veneer has a rich choice of colors and textures for interior decoration: sapele, makore, mahogany, classic white and black colors, etc. No other material used in the production of doors can provide such variety.

environmental friendliness at the level of solid wood doors

Flaws:

doors made from low-quality veneer are susceptible to delamination, drying out, darkening, etc. Rather, this is one of the shortcomings of individual door manufacturers

Dispelling Myths

Is it true that veneer doors of the same type of wood are the same in pattern and color?

No it is not true. The appearance of veneered interior doors is always unique. Different colors are allowed and indicate the natural origin of the material.

2. Eco-veneer. It is a multilayer material made from wood fibers and polypropylene. It has the same advantages as natural veneer, but it has a number of disadvantages:

synthetic materials are used in its production

low sound insulation

The strength of such doors leaves much to be desired. A strong blow or accidental collision of a child will leave a mark that no master can straighten

3. Covering with PVC film is perhaps the most budget option when choosing an interior door. PVC is polyvinyl chloride obtained by polymerization. The final product is a thick liquid mixture small chemical particles that are filtered and dried. Next, the resulting substance is melted and sent to special camera- calender - for the production of finished film sheets. The film coating is stretched and applied to PVC using synthetic glue.

When making film doors, there are also a couple of nuances that can affect their quality. During the coating process on PVC, both surfaces must be perfectly clean. The ingress of dust and small particles of debris is unacceptable, as the film may not adhere well and peel off from the finished door.

If you choose a film interior door, pay attention to the following:

1) the door covering must be even and smooth without roughness

2) the film should not peel off from the door. If this happens, it means that the manufacturer set the wrong temperature during its manufacture.

Advantages:

PVC tolerates better external influences: non-flammable, not susceptible to temperature changes, resistant to moisture and sun rays

ease of use. Dirt on PVC doors can be washed with regular detergent

a budget covering option that will fit into almost any interior

Flaws:

sound insulation leaves much to be desired

Unlike solid wood or veneer, PVC is an “unnatural” material

Dispelling Myths

Is it true that doors coated with PVC film of the same color cannot be of different colors?

No it is not true. The color of the film coating depends on its batch. Accordingly, doors with film finishing from different batches will vary slightly in color.

Door strength

The durability of products is the “Achilles heel” of almost any modern product. When choosing an interior door, we still expect that it will serve us as long as possible - for some it is 10 years, for others it is better than 15 years. If not everything, then a lot depends on the choice of interior door.

According to this criterion, a solid wood door is definitely better than other interior doors. MDF doors are a little more difficult. Their strength depends on the frame used, which is mainly made of pine. If only this is used in the frame, then be prepared over time for the following:

the canvas may change under the influence of temperature and moisture or become deformed - if it was originally made from defective pine materials (irregularities, traces of knots, resin pockets, etc.)

the geometry of the door leaf may be disrupted

To increase the wear resistance of the door, some manufacturers, in addition to pine timber, insert additional LVL timber into the door frame.

What is LVL timber? LVL-timber is a dozen sheets of rotary-cut veneer glued together coniferous species 2-3 mm thick. The basis of the glue used is a natural resin that meets the E1 hygiene class, which means that it does not emit substances harmful to humans.

Thus, LVL timber of the highest hygiene class, made from natural wood, is an environmentally friendly material and safe for health. We recommend choosing doors with LVL beams.

Technical advantages of LVL timber:

does not change shape under the influence of temperature and humidity changes

not inferior in strength to concrete

provides high geometric rigidity of the door over many years of operation

In addition to strengthening the door with LVL timber, some manufacturers improve the quality characteristics of their products using other technologies.

So, we found out that there are doors exclusively with a pine frame, and there are products with LVL timber. There is a third type of material - chipboard (chipboard). These doors do not have a frame as such, but they do have pressed wood particles with synthetic resins. Health safety, as they say, leaves much to be desired. Add to this one more remarkable fact: the edge of a chipboard door comes off easily, since pressed shavings are a loose surface that is initially inconvenient for gluing.

What you need to know when choosing an interior door

1. Sound insulation

Not everyone thinks about the importance of sound insulation - but in vain. Soundproofing of doors is even regulated by several regulatory documents: GOST 26602.3-99 “Window and door blocks. Method for determining sound insulation"; SNiP II-12-77 “Noise Protection”; SNiP 2.08.01-89 “Residential buildings”.

20-30 dB in a living room is a fairly comfortable noise level for a person. It is clear that any interior door does not isolate you from all sounds, but still.

A door in the hall with good sound insulation will give you the opportunity to relax after a hard day at work, just spend time in peace and quiet.

The door in the nursery will provide your children with a strong, healthy evening and, importantly, daytime sleep.

What can we say about a bathroom or kitchen - a door with good sound insulation will better hide the noise from splashing water or washing machine, and of course, will not let unwanted odors into the rest of the rooms.

When choosing an interior door, remember that it is almost impossible to achieve complete sound insulation.

What are the production times for interior doors?

Most of these doors are stored in our warehouse, so you can easily pick them up yourself on the same day you ordered them. If you are interested in delivery, we carry it out within 1 to 3 business days. The deadlines are affected by the workload of warehouse workers. Doors that are made to order will be ready within 10 working days.

Which material is better for interior doors: laminate, veneer or solid wood?

There is no clear answer to this question. Each of the listed materials has its own strengths and weak sides. For example, laminated doors have an affordable price, are more resistant to humid environments, and have a light weight and don't need special care. Veneered doors are more durable, visually look more solid and richer, and the veneer structure gives the doors the appearance of natural wood, so that the differences are almost invisible.

Doors made of solid wood, unlike the previous two, are stronger, have a more beautiful pattern and shade, but also a higher price.

What is the difference between natural veneer and eco-veneer?

Natural veneer is natural material. That is, very thin sheets of valuable wood are glued onto the plane of chipboard or MDF panels. Natural veneer has the same pattern and texture as natural wood.

Eco-veneer is an artificial material. It is made of polypropylene film, which exactly imitates the pattern and structure of natural wood. Visually, finding the difference between natural and eco-veneer is quite difficult. You can see it by looking at the side cut of the edge. Eco-veneer is known for its high manufacturability; the cost of doors made from this material is low, and performance characteristics quite reliable. Eco-veneer is a material that is highly resistant to wear and does not require any special care, and is also resistant to high humidity. Although interior doors from eco-veneer began to be made not so long ago, their demand is growing every day.

Can I purchase only one door leaf without frame and trim?

Yes. You can only purchase the canvas itself. In addition, you can remove the door and install it yourself. In addition, you can also separately order and buy additional sets of doors, any fittings and door moldings.

Do you install doors?

Yes. We install interior doors, and we do this by performing a full range of work, which includes: consultation with specialists who will take into account all wishes and financial situation, taking all measurements, delivery to the site, installation of doors and warranty service.

Is there a platband that can be installed without nails?

Yes. We have telescopic moldings in stock, with which you can mount the door block more quickly, conveniently and modernly. The telescopic box with a seal has special grooves designed for installing platbands and additional elements. This makes it possible to attach the platband to the additional strip and stand without fasteners. If necessary, the telescopic trims can be pulled out of the groove and removed, this is especially convenient during repairs.

I am interested in interior doors of non-standard sizes. Can I order these from you?

Certainly. We can produce doors of absolutely any non-standard sizes, as well as according to your individual sketches. We also have swing doors and sliding doors in stock.

I'm interested in what PVC coating is?

PVC coating is a coating made of polyvinyl chloride, which is an environmentally friendly and fairly hard material. It has increased resistance to high and low temperatures, high humidity (up to 70%), mechanical stress (chips and scratches), and it is also easy to clean and does not fade over time.

What is the maximum permissible humidity where veneer doors are installed?

Most best option- no higher than 60%. If the door is planned to be stored or transported for a short time in a room where the humidity will be up to 95%, then the door should not be left in this room for more than 24 hours.

What is the service life of veneer doors?

When making veneer doors, special glue is used. The strength and durability of the glued veneer depends on it. Manufacturers guarantee a minimum 50-year service life for such glue, although in practice this period is much longer.

The service life of the doors is also affected by the type of wood from which the veneer is made. For example, doors with oak veneer are among the leaders in durability. The service life is influenced by the quality of the varnish covering the door and, of course, careful handling.

What door sizes are considered standard in your production? This particularly applies to height.

The standards of our doors are: 400*2000, 600*2000, 700*2000, 800*2000, 900*2000, 550*1900 GL, 600*1900 GL.

Why do you need an additional element?

An extension is considered to be a strip that is used to expand the door frame. This is done in cases where the wall is wider than the box itself. Since the box has standard width(70 cm), then sometimes the need for an additional element is extremely important. The material from which the door is made is the same as the door material.

Last but not least. Usually after finishing installation of floors. Installation modern doors very similar to furniture installation. The room must dry completely after repair work. This will also eliminate the need to adjust the floor covering to the door frame, which will eliminate the formation of gaps. It is best to select and order doors 1.5-2 months in advance, because during the manufacturing process there may be a need to make doors or special elements to order.

Is it possible to make custom size doors?

It is possible, and any door dimensions (width and height) can be non-standard. Maximum permissible height door block– 2340 mm, width – 970 mm. These dimensions correspond to the doorway dimensions: 2370 by 1000 mm).

What is included in the door kit?

• Door leaf (the door itself)
• Door frame (lutka)
• Glass
• Accessories (lock, handle, hinges)
• Extensions (door frame extensions)
• Platbands on both sides (5 slats), on one side (2.5 slats)
• Threshold

Is it necessary to install a door threshold?

Typically, thresholds are installed in bathrooms to prevent water from leaking into the living space or in those doorways, where the floors of the rooms are at different levels. Installing a threshold is required only in extreme cases, since it prevents full air circulation in the bathrooms. In other cases, it is not recommended to install a threshold, because it interferes both with the room itself and with its cleaning. Wooden thresholds or thresholds made of MDF and similar materials extremely quickly fail, wear out and lose their appearance.

For better sound insulation, it is better to install a special “hidden threshold”. This is a structure that is cut into the bottom end of the door. When closing, the “hidden threshold” lowers and creates the necessary sound and heat insulation. If the door is installed in rooms with different levels floor, it is better to avoid wooden thresholds and use a plastic or aluminum profile to even out the difference. IN construction stores there is a wide range of the most different types profiles for these purposes. The threshold in the bathroom is best made of tiles.

In what conditions is it best to store the door?

The ideal platform for storing the door is in a lying position on a horizontal surface or on at least 3 supports.

It is also prohibited to store doors in rooms where there are high humidity(basement, room with undried screed or plaster)

How is a door frame installed in a doorway?

It is best to secure the door frame using anchor bolts, self-tapping screws with dowels, and also anchor plates. To hide anchor bolts, they are usually placed under the hinges or strike plate of the lock, and in some cases under the door seal. Any gaps or voids between door frame and the wall are filled with polyurethane foam.

What is a door seal used for?

Thanks to the seal, the door closes “softly” and does not slam. The seal increases sound insulation properties and protects against drafts.

How to improve the sound insulation of an interior door?

High-quality sound insulation depends on the quality of the seal. In some situations, better sound insulation is achieved by installing a “hidden threshold” at the bottom end of the door, as well as with minimal or no glazing.

Are doors made with reinforced coating for bathrooms and how effective is it? Is the operation of such a door different from a regular one?

If we mean an ordinary household toilet or bathroom, then the doors manufactured in our factory are quite suitable for these premises. The finish of such doors is initially resistant to moisture, unless it is a room with constant strong condensation flowing along the walls and doors. In those rooms where the humidity is very high, it is necessary to install exhaust fan. It is usually installed in the vent and is sold at electrical supply stores. It's inexpensive. If the bathroom is spacious enough and moisture does not accumulate there continuously (there is no moisture on the walls or on towels and other things), then there is no need to worry about choosing a door with a special coating.

Why do door color shades differ from each other?

Doors made of natural wood or veneered doors convey the structural properties of these wood species. This pattern is highly valued because it reflects the natural structure of the tree. The same shades of colors will only appear on doors made of artificial veneer, laminate or painted with enamel.

How long does it take to install one door?

Professional installers can install at least 4-5 doors in one day. Of course, it all depends on the individual conditions of the room.

Do your products have certificates or other approvals?

Our products have been certified for compliance with many European and domestic standards, namely: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, DSTU BV.26, EN 1529, EN 1530 and EN 1192.

Are there any other methods or mechanisms for opening doors besides the usual, classic one?

There is an option to order sliding doors (“compartment”), which move on suspended rollers without a special guide at the bottom. Such doors can be installed in doorways up to 3 meters wide. Another option is to purchase “bar” (swinging) hinges, which allow you to open the door back and forth. And ordering doors with luxury fittings includes hidden hinges and a silent magnetic mechanism.

Which glass is better? Triplex or hardened?

Triplex glass is ordinary laminated glass, which is glued together with a polymer film that retains glass fragments upon impact, which makes it safe because broken glass the fragments have no sharp corners and edges.

In view of this, in door designs where the glazing area is quite large, it is necessary to use only tempered glass, despite the fact that its cost is higher.

Why do some factories produce door leaves with a quarter (rebate), while others do not?

This detail in the manufacture of door leaves is due to rather a character production tradition, and not any special technical advantages.

If the door were without a seal, then it might make sense to talk about increased sound insulation, but if there is a seal, this explanation is meaningless.

On the other hand, quarter-less doors have a more aesthetic appearance because they are in the same plane as the door frame. When a quarter is missing, the hinges are attached more securely, and in the places where they are attached, cracks do not form under the weight of the canvas, and the hinges themselves are not deformed.

Most of the manufacturers, including famous manufacturers In Europe, door leaves with a quarter are extremely rarely sold. It is believed that this is not necessary and the fact that the quarter covers the gap between the threshold and the door leaf does not cover a lot of negative factors and is not an argument for the advantages of this particular design of the door leaf.

Choose exactly the door that you like and suits your means, and also never languish over the small design features doors!

Currently, there is a huge selection among various types interior doors. Thanks to such diversity, many potential buyers begin to get lost in the choice and make serious mistakes when purchasing. To prevent this from happening, you need to understand what types of products exist and how to choose the right option for your home.

It is also necessary to remember that the choice should be based not only on quality characteristics product, but also on its size, service life and the material from which they are made. You can get acquainted with the assortment at Dvernoydom, where interior doors are offered for literally every taste.

The choice of interior doors depending on the structure and type of material from which they are made

In order not to make a mistake with your choice, you need to carefully understand what types of doors the modern market offers today.

Currently, doors made from natural materials are in great demand, namely different varieties wood (pine, oak, larch, etc.), which seriously compete with their plastic or glass counterparts. Natural and environmentally friendly material helps create a cozy and unique interior in your home.

Moreover, products made of wood have their own advantages: they have good sound insulation, low heat conductivity and durability. The only thing to consider is wooden doors may become deformed over time due to high levels of humidity in the room. So, it is better not to install such doors in the kitchen or bathroom. They are more suitable for a living room, bedroom or hall.

1. The most reliable and at the same time the most expensive are products made from solid solid wood. They are perfect for any room, they do not deform, serve for a long time and do not require special care. The warranty for such products is at least 10 years. When choosing solid wood doors, you should pay attention to the type of wood from which it is made (each tree has its own unique properties) and to ensure that there are no knots or any organic damage on the surface of the wood.
2. No less popular is chipboard - a very strong, safe, durable and natural material. The cost of such products is significantly lower than that of solid wood doors, which is why this budget option is ideal for buyers with average incomes. However, when choosing this option, you should remember that such doors are subject to deformation due to high humidity, so they are not recommended for installation in kitchens, dining rooms or bathrooms.

Made from MDF doors although they are not completely natural material, they have proven themselves excellent in terms of safety and reliability due to the fact that no harmful chemicals are used in their production. To produce it, manufacturers grind wood and then warp it to required sizes using a special vacuum. After which the chips are glued together.

The surface is laminated or finished with veneer from various types of wood. The products have a long service life, do not deform and are perfect for any room. The only drawback is the heavy weight. The main thing is that high-quality fittings are used (boxes, trim, etc.).

3. 
   Very light and short-lived interior masonite or laminated doors. This is an economy class option with a short service life service - no more than seven years. They have poor sound insulation, allow cold to pass through and have a high degree of ignition. Not suitable for all rooms. They are in demand only due to their low price.
4. An equally cheap option is doors that are covered with veneer. For production, most often, wood is used. Low quality with many defects. This option has many disadvantages: a high degree of deformation, the likelihood of fungus or mold, and delamination of the veneer due to moisture.
   

   That is why they should be installed only in rooms where there is no strong humidity and temperature changes.
