What should you remember when choosing an interior door?

Czego dowiesz się z artykułu?

Manufacturers are outdoing each other in creating newer and newer door collections.They have very different styles, parameters and can be made of various materials.Before we decide to buy specific, carefully specify our requirements, review the catalogs with the offer and possibly consult the interior architect.

Prices of individual models differ significantly - like additional accessories.Before buying, it is worth calculating the total cost, including the wing, frame and fittings.The building design specifies dimensions, opening direction and type of interior door.Do not hastily change these guidelines.

Material for interior doors: plate, wood or glass

Interior doors are often made of wood -based boards, i.e. smooth or pressed chipboard or fiberboard (ordinary, MDF and HDF).They can be covered with laminate veneer (one -colored or imitating specific type of wood, e.g. beech, ash, oak), more expensive veneer or covering acrylic paint.Shades of white, brown, beige and gray are the standard.On order, doors are available in unusual colors, e.g. green or blue.However, such cost 15-20% more.

MDF (hard) and HDF (very hard) are usually used for the production of doors.They differ in the method of production and density.The larger, the less wings are packed.The density of MDF plates is 650-850 kg/m3, and the basic raw material for their production are spruce or pine fibers.HDF has a density above 850 kg/m3 (about 50% larger than solid wood) and arise from wood chips.MDF and HDF boards are more resistant to splitting and cracking than solid wood.

Pine, oak, beech, ash or mahogany wood is suitable for wings.In general, it is used layered, because it is cheaper, and more resistant and more resistant to erect than solid.The finish is usually a colorless varnish, which emphasizes the natural drawing of the jars.Sometimes veneer or veneer.Rarely covering acrylic paint.

An interesting solution are glass wings - frameless (embedded on hinges and equipped with so -called handrail instead of a handle) or in the form of a surface with a narrow aluminum or wooden border.Manufacturers use only safe tempered or glued glass.This is the first after bruiting to fall into pieces with blurred edges, while the second has a foil protecting against the scattering of the compact panel.It can be transparent, translucent, matte, colored, stained glass or ornamental.They are also used to make glazing in doors from other materials.

Types of interior doors: open, sliding, folding

Although in homes, traditional tilting doors are most often installed, called upset, remember that we also have other variants to choose from.In some interiors, e.g. due to the small amount of space, sliding or folding models work better.Before making the final choice, it is worth at least pre -planning the furniture and other equipment.

The wing wing is suspended on 2 or 3 hinges.However, I need a lot of space for movement.Its standard width is 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 cm.You can also buy double -leaf doors, with a total width of 120, 140 or 160 cm, or multi -wing.A typical height is 203 cm, but you can order higher.Not every model can be shortened if necessary - it is worth asking for this option of the seller.

Let's not forget that the size of the door should be proportional to the dimensions of the room - do not overdo any way.In a spacious, high living room, two -leaf, possibly a single wing with increased width and height will look best.In addition, according to the regulations, the door to most rooms (rooms, kitchens, bathrooms) must be at least 80 cm wide.Snakers can only lead to such interiors as a wardrobe or pantry.The tilt versions are available as full, with various glazing and glass.

Where there is a lack of space for freely tilting the wing, it is worth mounting sliding.They are suspended to the guide attached at the top of the door opening.After opening, it occurs to the wall or hides in a cassette mounted inside it (the cassette is bought in the set).The latter variant is more favorable - the door does not cover the walls and do not hinder the arrangement of the room.However, it is best to plan it at the stage of building a house.Otherwise, it will be necessary to build a skeletal wall that acts as a cassette.

Sliding models are made of laid glued wood, wood -based boards or safe glass.Most often they have a width of 80-100 cm.In the case of double -leaf, however, it should not exceed 240 cm.A modern solution is the door opening synchronously - moving one wing causes the other to move automatically.

Less popular folding (broken) versions, the design resemble a screen.They are made of two or more vertical parts connected with hinges.They move on a rail attached from the bottom of the upper part of the frame.After folding, the wing does not take up space in the room, but reduces the width of the door opening.It can be made of wood, plate or glass.Wooden models sometimes have glass or plastic inserts.

Interior doors: tight, transparent, with holes

Manufacturers offer collections covering models for various purposes.This allows the whole house to be equipped with wings in one style.The door can more or less illuminate the interior, provide intimacy or protect against noise or escape of heat.It depends on their construction and the glazing used.Usually we need other models for a bedroom or living room, others for bathrooms, and others for utility rooms.

In the living area, glass versions are most often used, which pass light and visually combine interiors.They are also a good way to illuminate rooms without a window, e.g. bathroom, wardrobe, dark corridor.In the office and bedroom it is worth mounting full doors with better soundproof.In the vestibule and the garage, i.e. on the border of the cold and warm building zone, it is recommended to choose those that insulate heat well (full with thermal insulation).

Fire models are dedicated to the boiler room and garage, although in single -family houses their use is usually not imposed by regulations.In the bathroom, toilet, laundry, kitchen, we put on a door with undercut or holes in the lower part.In these rooms we have an air extract (ventilation chimneys), while in neighboring, e.g. in bedrooms, there is usually only air supply (tributary).The lack of appropriate undercuts or holes in the wings will therefore prevent air flow (from the rooms with the supply to those with the lift) and the proper ventilation of the entire building.

Interior doors elements: door handles, fittings, frames

The door is not only the wing, but also fittings (hinges, guides, door handles, etc.) and frames (in other words).We have most of these elements in the set, we only buy door handles separately.

The frame is a frame that is applied to the door opening, then settles the wing in it.These two elements must perfectly fit together in technical and aesthetic terms, which is why they are usually made of the same material - wood or wood -based panels.The exception is all the glass door, for which there are wooden or plate frames.Currently, many frames have an adjustable thickness, allowing it to be adapted to the wall thickness.

The wings are usually mounted on two hinges, sometimes it is still third in the middle.First of all, their quality and proper attachment counts.They must bear the weight of the door and provide them with easy and quiet movement.Some allow you to adjust the height of the wing in relation to the door frame.By using special hinges, you can make a swinging door from traditional doors - tilted both ways and closing automatically.

The door handles are made of stainless steel, aluminum and brass.Their surface can be shiny, matte, nickel -plated, patinated and even gold -plated.On sale you will also find models combined with glass, wood or colorful resin.Depending on the interior style, we can choose products with modern design, in retro style or richly decorated.
