Today, the Russian market of entrance doors offers mainly steel products. What are the requirements of the construction for a country house?

1. Resistance to hacking
This parameter is considered the main one. Indeed, the door block is obliged to protect against the invincible invasion. To do this, he should treat at least I class according to GOST R 51113-97. If you want the design to oppose not only manual, but also an electric tool, look for a model II-III classes.
However, it should be borne in mind that a good door is useless if there is no appropriate protection on the windows or the walls themselves are not strong enough. In addition, overcoming any passive barrier is the question of time. That is, if you leave the house for a long time, it makes sense to connect it to the consignment system.
Some firms enhance the canvas by the reinforcement rod: such a design is up to 20 minutes. Resists even a powerful grinder. Photo: Torex.

2. Heat insulation
Unfortunately, the low thermal insulation indicator is "congenital" lack of steel door. It is possible to order a product from profiles with a thermal survey or equipped with an electrical heating system of the rope and lock pocket (to avoid frosting the web and lock locks). However, both of these solutions are expensive.
It is easier and cheaper to set closer to the room the second (tambour) door from the tree - as a rule, the thickness of the walls in the country house allows it to do.
Filling the web and box with polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam improves the thermal insulation characteristics of the door block, but does not save from freezing in the area of the castle and loops. Somewhat more efficient multi-layer "filling". Photo: Leganza.
3. Decorativeness
The entrance door is an important element of the facade, it is obliged to decorate the building. As a rule, embedded fillets are welcome, the protruding layout, massive loops and handle. The design of the canvas can be supplemented with glass inserts and wrought details. Alas, such a decor stands on weekly and one should appreciate the fact that the door for the country house will cost at least one and a half times more expensive than the apartment.
Glass inserts must be small in the area, otherwise they will have to close with grilles. Photo: Torex.

4. Corrosion resistance
No canopy is able to completely protect the design from moisture, and there are no discharge when after 5-10 years of operation on the canvas and the box begins to commend the rust. Therefore, it is extremely desirable that the basic details are galvanized or covered with special primer or paint.

5. Web resistance
The usual exterior panels from the viniplast are often fascinated in the sun, and products from MDF are resolved under the influence of moisture. The optimal finish of the inlet street door is a shippower, a tree array or powder painting.
Most steel doors are separated from the outside with multi-layered panels, not always resistant to atmospheric influences. This parameter must be clarified by the seller and ask the warranty period to the panel (it should be at least two years). Photo: Torex.
