Features of wooden cloths
The traditional material for making entrance openings is wood. A solid wooden door to decorate the house is too expensive. In addition, she is afraid of moisture and water.
At the same time the surfaces inside the premises are not exposed to moisture, they can be made with a minimum protective coating. High-quality protection from snow and rain require external canvases made of wood.
For this, they are impregnated with special compounds. How varnished wooden leaf doors with several layers, shows in detail the video in this article.
Wooden doors are called natural wood or materials made by gluing or pressing wood fibers, shavings, small wood elements.
Wooden doors are:
- Solid - solid wood. This is the most expensive and rare type of construction. Glued array consisting of spliced layers of lumber - a cheaper option.
- Hollow doors - the most economical doors. Their internal design provides strength, durability and consistency of geometric dimensions.
To save wood and reduce the price of a product, solid wood canvases can be replaced with materials such as
- Wooden bars.
- MDF.
- Fiberboard
- DSP.
- Lamella wood.
- Plywood.
- Veneer.
- Other materials made from various waste wood processing: sawdust, fibers.
Hollow frame structures can be:
- Shield. In this case, the frame-frame is sheathed on both sides with shields. The basis of the strength of the product is formed by the plane and the material of the shield. The shield itself can be assembled from bars or made from a single web. From above it is revetted with decorative material - a laminate, an interline interval (see. Which is better - the laminated or shponirovanny doors: we do the analysis). The internal shield cavity is filled with materials that provide full or partial sound insulation. It can be cardboard stripes, chipboard.
Such designs are used for external entrance cloths. Differ in the increased durability and outside can be closed by moisture resistant finishing materials.
- Shaped. Here the role of the main strong frame performs the frame. For strapping around the perimeter bars are used. Other bars are called mediators. The more of them inside the structure, the stronger the door will be and the greater its cost. Solid shield replace individual shields. A panel of pine is inserted into the grooves of frame bars. It can be flat or decorated with carvings.

- solid wood. These are smooth heavy constructions that transmit the natural structure of wood to the maximum. To refresh the array, select a glazing glaze or clear varnish. For old cloth, you can use the glaze under the tree;
- MDF. В составе конструкции листы древесно-стружечные и утеплитель. Покрасить такую дверь достаточно просто, но прежде следует хорошо подготовить поверхности;
- paneled canvases. In this case, the frame is made of MDF, and the inserts from plywood sheets or thin boards. Before painting the product is disassembled into its constituent elements. A large number of door joints weakens the structure, and it wears out faster, which requires frequent updates. How to glue the damaged areas, it is better to consult with a specialist.

Care and maintenance of the door leaf
Any door in the operation requires care. This is a business card of any home.
He might be:
- Periodic. All components are cleaned.
- Capital. Such inspection of structures should be carried out once every two years. In this case, the fastenings and connections of doors, locks and mechanisms are carefully checked.
In the manufacture of solid wood entrance doors, the canvas may change color over time, begin to peel off and crack under the influence of weather factors. This will give the design a worn appearance.
In this case, maintaining an attractive appearance of the entrance doors helps to regularly update the coverage of the entrance doors. Over time, the lacquer coating of the fabric wears out, which requires restoration in order to prevent the damage of the wood itself, the appearance of fungi and various rot on it. If the entrance door is protected from moisture and sun, its paintwork can last for many years.
Clean the varnished surface with a properly selected detergent to avoid roughness and scratches on the glossy surface.
If this could not be avoided, they need to be treated with polishing wax, which will make the scratches on the canvas less noticeable. The wax is rubbed with a soft cloth until the defects disappear.
Tip: When cleaning wooden door leafs, do not use chemicals that will ruin the wooden surface.
Everyone chooses himself what kind of door leaf is needed for the built-in wardrobe, entrance door or interior door. The main thing is to do it correctly, and then regularly take care of them, which will increase the service life not only of the canvas, but of the whole structure.
