Interior doors - an integral part of any interior, affecting its appearance. Most of us, planning in our apartment repairs, pay the main attention to the floor, walls and ceiling, someone will not forget about the windows. And the choice of interior doors is postponed at the last minute, often purchasing goods "in haste", focusing, as a rule, only on appearance. And, meanwhile, they create and supplement the unique appearance of our dwelling, so it is necessary to approach the choice with due attention and knowledge of the matter.
Let's try to figure out which interior doors are best to choose, and by what criteria this option is better to implement. There are several points to consider:
- Price category
- Size
- Design
- Construction
- Technical aspects
Price category
First of all, you need to remember that you can not get everything right away. Therefore, one should not believe in advertising, in which the goods are offered durable, inexpensive and beautiful. Quality and beautiful doors can not be cheap. You can find inexpensive and quite nice, but do not particularly expect for their long service.
Doing repairs in the apartment, as a rule, the owners rarely buy one door, more often - a set, immediately for the whole apartment, because in time, it may not be possible to buy the same design, because the range of products is constantly changing. And models that are different in appearance, type and design will look in one apartment, at least, ridiculous. We also do not forget that the door is not only a canvas, but also a box, thresholds, fittings and trim that must also be combined with the appearance of the chosen product and the situation as a whole.
Therefore, you must immediately indicate the amount that you are willing to spend on this element of decor, and, based on this, already decide what specifically you can buy.
Size
The doorways in the apartments can be different - standard or wide. So you need to choose the doors to suit them. If the width of the opening in the apartment is 80-90 cm, then any standard single-leaf model will do. If its size exceeds 110 cm, it is possible to buy a double-leaf door or to spend on reducing the opening.
Design
The appearance of the interior doors can be completely different, blind panels or with inserts of carved glass, and even stained glass. Here, as they say, the taste and color. But when choosing a design it is worthwhile to think about how this or that model will be combined with your repair and other details of the apartment interior.
Depending on the material, the interior doors can be:
From the
array They are the most expensive, but at the same time fully justify themselves, because they have a presentable and solid appearance and can become a true decoration of the home. Many believe that this is the best interior doors. However, when choosing them, there are also their pitfalls - their durability and quality depends on careful compliance with the technology of wood drying, and environmental friendliness - from the varnish and glue used in the production. Therefore, if you chose on these models, pay attention to the quality marks that solid companies put on their product.
These doors differ among themselves not only by the manufacturers, but also by the type of wood used. In this regard, there are differences in price - oak trees are an order of magnitude more expensive than pine products. The latter are more fragile due to the softness of the material, the risk of damage to them during transportation or operation is high. In addition, they are not suitable for bathrooms, as they quickly deform in a humid environment.
Veneered
Cheaper than the models from the array, and perhaps the best quality. Their distinguishing feature is practicality, durability, they do not deform when humidity changes. These models are suitable for the entire apartment - from the nursery to the office. In the bathroom it is better to put doors from MDF.The exterior decoration of such products is completely different, you can choose it for your taste and purse.
Inside such models come from both artificial veneer and natural, which affects their price.
Masonite
Consider the most economical option for apartments. They look good and can last 7-10 years, provided they are carefully and carefully operated. Such doors are sold as primed, and already painted. Their main drawback, in addition to their fragility, is poor sound insulation. The pluses can be attributed to an affordable price and relatively low weight.
When choosing interior doors, do not forget to ask the seller for a passport of the product in order to be completely sure of the quality. This document should indicate SNiPs and GOSTs, for which a particular model was manufactured. Despite the fact that manufacturers are not required to pass certification, serious companies still prefer to do this in order to emphasize their reputation.
