How to choose the qualitative and inexpensive interior doors - a detailed overview

choosing certain models of interior doors, most people are focused on two key indicators - the appearance and value.As the door will be combined with elements of the interior, as the light passes?Such questions, of course, not minor, but few people think about how much it will last.

Unlike furniture, door operated intensively.In addition, it is bundled with a box, and even the slightest deformation of the web will lead to its imbalance and difficulties with opening / closing.Unfortunately, the sale is a lot of low-grade products, which by means of various technological "manipulation" is given for high quality goods.

course everything that is presented in the furniture showrooms, it looks elegant and attractive.But it is a new article.And what will happen to him after a while, for example, six months later.After the door - the product of long-term use, and constantly replace one another, a new, no one will.How to avoid mistakes when buying and what better to choose a door?

General selection criteria

Linear dimensions

It should not be lazy and make all the measurements - length, width, diagonal.This will reveal defects visually imperceptible.A sure sign of low-quality products - differences in similar terms.Experts advise in the first place pay attention on the diagonal.If the difference between them is more than 1 mm, the door frame has a clear bias.This can be caused by a violation of technology (wood overdried), poor assembly - reasons enough.

But buying such a product is not worth it - where is the guarantee that it does not continue to "lead"?

Finishing

With extreme caution should be taken for products with a dark lacquer.Beneath it is not clear what constitutes the foundation.There may be scratches, small cracks, a set of "marks" from the knots, which are filled with paint.Over time, it will eventually wear out, and all this "Beauty" will appear.We'll have to change, or the door or handle it again.

Glazing

Naturally, the quality of glass Seller not say (or slukavil).By the way, the professionals prefer not to work with glass from China and Turkey.They are easy to beat, and are considered "brand", followed by the need to constantly take care of.

But check the reliability of the fixing of glass in the door leaf can be yourself.If it moves, "walks" with pressure, the next door and you can "examine".

quality elements connections

If the places of their joints observed irregularities there, though small, slit - shoddy goods.

Features

Paneled doors

is a structure consisting of a frame and inserted into her shields.The advantage of this engineering solutions that are practically not deform the door (if the connection - adhesive-free), since the temperature changes the geometry of a mutual displacement of elements without destroying the integrity of the assembly.

masonite

is a skeleton on which "sewn" fiberboard, and voids - filler (squared, paper, cell fiberboard).From this it depends on the weight of the door.Surface finish is also diverse - veneer, laminate, paint compositions, film.Variants enough."Plus" - cheapness "cons" - low durability and teplosberezheniyu indices (depending on the type of filler).

Whole leaf

material can be any - wood, glass, plastic.Durability, longevity, provide a high degree of thermal and acoustic insulation.

method of opening

Pendulum

They are called swinging.Feature - opening in both directions.But it is doubtful whether such a modification is suitable for the home.Is that for a large country house, and then - on the fan.

Coupe (sliding)

can move sideways (the guides) inside or along the wall.This type of interior door saves space significantly, but has a drawback - incomplete "sealing" the passage.The gaps between the door and the "rails" passed not only sounds but also drafts.Although for small apartments - a great option.

«Bellows' (folding)

In contrast to the" coupe ", the web consists of several panels, which are formed at the opening.Convenient, but maintenance-free service life of the small - too many places various compounds are in constant dynamics.Details such doors are described in this article.

Swing

traditional and most popular design, so it makes no sense to comment.It is only necessary to consider which way to open the model, so that after its installation at the place did not have certain inconveniences in use.

Konushennaya

swing option.The web consists of 2 parts - upper and lower.Only still in vogue, and, as a rule, they are installed in kitchens.Convenient, if a family has any animals - for them access to the building will be closed, but the "zone of visibility," they will not be wasted.

Radius

Pretty unusual design, but in some cases, very convenient.The most expensive models, the web may be either a single material or a combination of multiple (e.g., glass + metal).

Material

Wood

What internal doors of this material is strong enough, no need to explain.But during use any "tree" absorbs moisture from the environment.The intensity of this process depends on the temperature and on the wood species.In this regard, for premises most preferred door beech, oak, maple, ash.

It is worth to stay on conifers.No matter how beautiful the door, but be aware that this wood is characterized by two main drawbacks.Firstly, the "softness".Therefore, with such a door should be treated especially carefully, because on the canvas easily leave deep scratches or dents.If children are present, it is better to refrain from such a purchase.Second, the web of softwood pretty good soak up liquid, while sharp, systematic changes in temperature often crack, crack.Consequently, the doors of these materials are not suitable for any environment.

MDF

Products made from this material do not differ in quality from wood paintings, but the price is much lower.It only increases depending on how you finish - kind of laminating a variety of veneer.

Other

materials most commonly used in the manufacture of swinging doors that are more suited for office and public buildings than for residential.This typically glass, plastic, aluminum, at least - wood.However, there are fans to purchase and folding, sliding doors made of these materials.The feasibility of such a purchase - only at the discretion of the owner.

There are still some selection criteria.For example, the color scheme, the performance of hinges, handles and others.But this is - as someone like, on your own taste.

Useful tips

• Despite the "unpatriotic" this judgment, unfortunately, many domestic manufacturers are not particularly care about the quality of its products - the proportion of marriages are still high.Experts recommend first of all pay attention to imported products.The price is higher, but the service life is much longer, so the costs will be fully justified.You can focus on the ranking of manufacturers of doors.
• Focusing on the rock "tree", it is necessary to take into account, in which the room door will be installed (moisture level).For example, for the sauna, even the bathroom ash is unlikely to fit, as different high moisture absorption.
• After purchasing the door should not be installed immediately it.Experts recommend to give it "settle" in the room for at least a day.
• Not everyone knows that such products as "interior door" certification (mandatory) is not subject to.Consequently, the Purchaser is to rely only on decency Manufacturer.Our guarantee time is clearly not a 100%.Therefore, in order "not to run," it makes sense to buy products only companies with a good reputation.
