External and anti -burglary doors - characteristicsWe are building a house

Czego dowiesz się z artykułu?

Perfect external doors are those that, in addition to the above -mentioned features, are well insulated thermally and acoustically and resistant to weather conditions.And of course they should have an adequate price for the materials and equipment used.It is not difficult to guess that with the required technical parameters of the door in the outer walls of the building can not be very cheap (we are talking about both the main and economic entrance, leading, e.g..to the boiler room).

Planning installation of external and anti -burglary doors

To make a reasonable choice, it's just worth it to start with...look into the building design.This is a good starting point for further activities (preparation of the door hole, selecting a specific model), because the architects specify the dimensions and type of door in it.Changes in holes and types of wings are not indicated.

Dimensions.Functional communication through the front door will guarantee the height of 201-210 cm, while the width of 90 cm and more (this applies to the hole with the frame already inserted).With such dimensions, it is easy to enter the house with shopping or luggage, enter the hall in a wheelchair or introduce a pram.In the light of the door, long items will also fit.

How to open the wing.Better when the wing opens outside.Then it is more difficult to break them and is more tight (the wind presses them to the frame), in addition, it does not take up a place in the vestibule and the utility room, and rainwater does not flow into the building.Such a variant of opening, however, requires the preparation of an external platform with a depth of at least 1.5 m (when it is not there, the wing when opening "pushes" users on the stairs).Although in the case of external doors we can freely decide on how to open the wing, it is relatively rare to open to the center of the house (mainly due to saving space in the building space and more difficult sealing of the entrance hole).

Style.The appearance of external doors should be due to the architecture and colors of the house of the house.Colors, architects usually match the windows and roof.For modern blocks, they usually choose wings in a simple shape, full or with the participation of glass, which adds lightness.For traditional blocks - decorative wings, e.g..with a decorative surface and with stained glass.

The most important parameters of the external door

Akorship insulation (RW).The most popular value of the external doors indicator is 30 dB (it cannot be smaller).In loud and busy places should be greater (then it guarantees better insulation against noise).

Thermal insulation (U).It results from several elements - from the thickness of the insulation layer placed in the wing (polystyrene, mineral wool or polyurethane foam), from the method of mounting the door, from the solidity of sealing at the connection of the frame with the wall.Currently, most manufacturers offer external doors with a heat transfer coefficient in even below 1.0 W/(m2 · K).This is good information for buyers, because it is assumed that a sufficiently warm door is those that U u does not exceed 1.5 W/(m2 · K) imposed on regulations..

Protection against weather conditions.Before buying a specific model.

A few sentences with a door construction

The wing structure is a frame.It can be made of wood, steel or PVC profiles.For greater protection against burglary, the manufacturers stiffen the construction with sheet metal.

The wing is mounted on the frame hinges (with German also called door frames).If the frame is wooden, you don't have to insulate it because it doesn't freeze.However, if it is made of steel or aluminum profiles - it requires insulation.

Materials for the wings.Bilateral so -called sheathing.plate doors are made of uniform wood, plywood or MDF plates, galvanized sheet or fiberglass.The space between the frame and the plates is filled with polystyrene or mineral wool.Unlike the plate, in the so -called.Frame panel doors are visible.Panels, filling the center of the door, usually come from the same materials as the frame.

The door leaf is made from:

When to choose the anti -burglary model?

On the door with increased burglary resistance, it is worth choosing in the area with frequent burglaries and at home, which is equipped with an alarm installation and a properly durable garage gate and windows (also terrace and roof).

The anti -burglary doors consist of a thick frame, deeply anchored in the outer wall.The wing frame is factory -armed with steel rods with a diameter of several millimeters (they run vertically and horizontally), while the entire wing - covered with steel sheet.Multi -point locks are placed along the entire length of the wing.Special steel covers protect the hinges from cutting.The wing also has anti -tighting pins, which after closing the door slide into the holes in the frame.

Single -family buildings usually use products with a class resistance class RC 2 or 3 (classification reaches from 1 to 6 RC - a larger number means higher anti -burglary resistance).Anti -burglary doors should have a rated plaque with a symbol of the immunode class, with this feature must apply to the entire door, and not just e.g..castles.Manufacturers equip such models with a certificate specifying the resistance class issued by an accredited laboratory.

It is extremely important to buy a complete product, i.e. wings with a reinforced frame.It is also absolutely necessary to properly install the frame on special anchors and proper laying into the wall.This task, including adjusting the wing, is best to order the manufacturer or its authorized distributor.Otherwise it may happen that the anti -burglary dear model will not fulfill the task set to it.

Exterior doors - what in the set, what do we buy?

The prices of external doors start from around PLN 1,200, end at PLN 20,000 and more.The cheaper the product, the less equipment it has in standard equipment.That is why it is worth checking exactly what the starting price is.Whether the doors are sold with a frame, locks (sublined and additional), door handles, hinges, anti -tighting pins, thresholds, seals, etc..

Castles.The door with one, at most two locks is usually offered. Specjaliści odradzają montowanie więcej niż trzechcastles, z uwagi na możliwość osłabienia konstrukcji drzwi.A maximum of 3 locks can only be used in ordinary doors, because they will make them difficult to break (especially if we install locks of different manufacturers). Ważniejsza od ilości wydaje się jednak jakośćcastles. Wyróżniono 7 klascastles.The higher the class, the better.

Hinges.There should be at least 3 solid hinges in the anti -burglary doors.Anti -burglary pins protect against removing such a hinge wing or against a skeletal attempt.Strong pins are of great importance in the door opened outside.

Seals.On the external doors they are extremely important because they protect against cold or hot, water, noise.They are on the door frame and edge of the door leaf.They can be made of synthetic rubber or from EPDM.

Useful equipment is: chain (dam), bumper, self -closer, viewfinder.A roof is very useful above the door opening outside.

What about the glass?Provides the lighting of the vestibule with daylight and improves the aesthetic values of the wing.Of course, you should choose a special breaking -resistant glass.

Right or left?There are often difficulties to distinguish the right and left doors.You have to stand forward to the door to see the hinges.The right doors have it from our right, left - on the left.

Preparation of the jam

At the stage of building external walls, the proper preparation of the frames, i.e. holes in the walls.The correctness of the installation and subsequent use of the door depends on whether the walls are perfectly vertical and the parameters of the holes are correct.Leave a hole 12-15 cm wider and 6-7 cm higher (2-4 cm for the floor is added to this dimension).

Installation of external doors

The external doors are inserted at the end of construction, after applying and drying the plasters on the facades and inside the house and finishing the floors.Installation is best ordered to the manufacturer or seller of the purchased doors, because thanks to this we will not lose the warranty and it will be easier to assert your rights in the event of a complaint.To avoid the creation of thermal bridges, the so -called.warm threshold, vapor -tight and vapor -permeable tapes.
