Doors in various interiors

Before you choose it, you should decide in what style the repair will be done in the apartment. And if you do not intend to change the interior, then it should match the existing style of the room (see Style of interior doors).

Doors made of oak or pine (see. Manufacturing of wooden doors: technological process) are suitable for a classic interior, which, thanks to their warm colors, create a special coziness and comfort in the house.

For a classic-style living room, it is best to pick it from ash or larch. These will help emphasize the elegance and sophistication that is very important for this type of room.

For the interior of the “Modern” style, bright shades are suitable, so in this case you should choose from cherry or walnut. These trees have a large range of colors and a different surface.

Practicality

Making a choice, it is necessary to pay attention to its practicality. You should not completely trust advertising, but also you should understand that good ones will not be cheap. Selection is a responsible process and the final look of all the rooms depends on it.

Now let's talk about the points, what determines the practicality:

1. Design. The door is installed in the apartment is not for one year. This is one of the details of the interior, which will serve for many years. In addition, frequent replacements may result in the need to make new repairs. Therefore, we must understand that this is not an easy choice - they must fully fit into the design of the room and the whole room. If you decide to buy a door, pay attention to the practicality of the door does not contradict its interior.
2. Strength. Beautiful is not always high quality, and the price should not be the only factor in the selection. Production itself is much more important, since its life depends on this process. In practice, we can say that the most durable are paneled, made of valuable tree species. However, they are not always hard. So find out before you make a selection - which hard or soft wood you buy. It is very important. The most durable is oak and beech wood. It is also not inferior in strength and ash, which also has more decorative properties. If they are made by technology, then they will last more than a dozen years. However, they are expensive, so oak is not a solution for the mass buyer.
3. Price. Most buyers are interested in them being affordable. However, the doors that are made of softwood, such as pine, will not last long, as this is softwood. And no matter how varnish it is protected. She will be able to serve for decades only under a covering paint, which will have to be repeated from time to time.

Fillers

Now let's talk about how to choose by filling.

Filling happens cellular:

1. Cellular cells from MDF plates;
2. Tubular construction;
3. Reiki from perforated or solid chipboard;
4. From individual bars.

Cellular gaps themselves are filled with corrugated cardboard. For apartments, they are quite suitable for their strength. Of chipboard have greater strength and increased sound insulation. However, they are much heavier than usual.

With honeycomb filling are:

1. Smooth;
2. Moldedthat looks like a paneled door. The surface of such doors can mimic the texture of wood or be smooth;
3. Painted;
4. Veneered and laminated (see. Which is better - laminated or veneered doors: doing the analysis).

Criterias of choice

In our time, a wide range of products is offered. All differ in decorative and technical characteristics.

Because of what to choose the necessary becomes even more difficult. In order not to get lost in the diversity, it is necessary to take into account some requirements for their subsequent operation.

So:

1. One of the main criteria are sound and noise insulation. Pine trees have the worst indicators - they can be chosen for the common room, but not for the children's room.
2. Differences in designs. Different manufacturers of doors and boxes have different features and design solutions.

Kinds

They are divided into two types - shield and panel.

Shield

Now let's talk about the shield: how to choose by type of production and finishing. Shield offer a huge range of various options for their decoration and decoration, they will fit in almost every interior.

Flush doors consist of a shield and a frame made of bars.

Shield flaps are:

1. Solid.
2. Framed. The door from them is a frame of wooden bars. Stiffness bars are inserted between horizontal and vertical bars, due to which the structure does not bend or deform.

The cost depends on the material, the type of cardboard and the size of "honeycomb". However, in many respects the price depends on the finishing finish, during which color material imitating a natural or other pattern is pasted onto the canvas. Then trim the edge.

If the finish is made of valuable wood veneer, then the door will cost more. The price increases due to the fact that a lot of veneer goes to waste because of the need to select a solid pattern.

The drawing is selected manually, on what a lot of time and effort is spent. After that, the veneer is glued and ground to obtain a high-quality surface.

Shield can be glazed in different ways. At the cheapest glass in the canvas is fastened with beadings.

More expensive have baguettes of various shapes or frames with uneasy binders. All this greatly influences how much they will ultimately cost - the choice is still yours. Everyone is focused on their capabilities and desires.

Glazed and deaf ones do not have a big difference in price, but if expensive glass with a complex finish is inserted in it (see Decorative glass for doors: how to choose the right one), the cost of the glazed surface increases several times.

Paneled

Doors with paneled doors are considered the most attractive for buyers. They are the most expensive and have a complex production technology.

Paneled легкие благодаря особой каркасной конструкции. Створки составляют из брусков, с помощью которых создают каркас, а также промежуточных филенок и брусков.

If you want to buy durable doors, you need to choose in which there are a lot of middle doors and door panels. However, its cost will be more expensive.

During assembly, the panels are inserted into special grooves made in the bars.

Panels are:

1. smooth,
2. with frame
3. floating
4. with a figarea,
5. with embossed slats.

Paneled из твердых пород

Usually they are made from hardwoods such as teak, oak, walnut, hornbeam. Because of this, they will last more than a dozen years. Choose from valuable and expensive breeds to decorate the classic interior, which is done for many years.

But do not throw out a huge amount of money if you buy it in a regular room.

Please note that the doors of expensive wood need additional care and maintenance of a special microclimate, otherwise the doors will be covered with cracks.

Paneled мягких пород

Also in great demand are framed doors made of soft wood. For example, for the interior in the style of "Country", you can choose from pine, which is impregnated with special oil.

They are perfect for a cottage, especially if it is made of wood, but for a city apartment it is better not to choose them.

File Combined

Combined paneled perfect for the interior of a classic style. External, they are no different to others, but are much cheaper.

Valuable rocks in them are also used, but in veneer. Combined doors have many glued surfaces, but they can last up to 50 years.

Here are the three advantages of graded materials:

1. Low price;
2. No problems during operation;
3. Aesthetic beauty.

From the array

Поговорим про массивные: как выбирать, на что обратить внимание, как узнать и их качестве. From the array производят из ценных пород деревьев способом сплошного заполнения.

According to the modern production technology, their elements are made from a re-glued massif — wood bars, thoroughly dried and compressed under high pressure. The direction of the fibers in each layer is opposite to each other, so that the strength of the web is achieved.

The quality of doors from the array depends on:

1. preparation of raw materials;
2.  drying time and technology;
3.  array plywood technology (glue quality, temperature, pressure);
4. topcoat (lacquer quality, number of layers).

Tips for choosing the right

They are different: single and bivalved, glazed and deaf, paneled and smooth, painted and veneered.

Here are some recommendations that will make it easier for you to make your choice:

1. When we make a choice, we must examine the size. Dimensions are specified in 2 versions: according to the size of the doorway, taking into account the door frame, which is usually 7-10 cm larger or the size of the door leaf. Note that the thickness is 3.5 - 4.5 cm (see. Parameters of interior doors).
2. One of the most important parameters is the material from which it is made. As the price of the door itself depends on the material. Oak will be worth several times more expensive than pine, lined with oak veneer.
3. By purchasing it, we buy the entire kit, which includes a canvas, box, platbands, hinges, handles. Notice that they open in different directions. Depending on where they open, choose a set of loops. Sometimes it is better to buy accessories separately. In addition, it will cost less, and the choice of parts is very diverse.
4. If we buy glazed glass, then the glass must be supplied, otherwise it will be necessary to order it separately. Please note that the thickness of the glasses and the slots for them coincide, otherwise the glass will rattle. The glass in the door can be installed transparent, mirror or matte.
5. Smooth and deaf are the most affordable. If they are decorated with shaped veneer, they are 25-30% more expensive than usual. Deaf paneled are presented in a larger range than smooth ones. But their price will be more expensive. The cheapest are costumed with straight panels; arched and figured versions will cost more.
6. Domestic production is more affordable in quality and price. They are made from solid pine. If we choose from pine wood, it is necessary to try it by touch so that the tree is not wet.
7. Many companies can offer custom-made, according to the required size. In this case, the cost will depend on the complexity of the work and the choice of material, but in some cases it will cost less than the finished one.
