The internal doors market persistently respond to new trends in the repair and construction industry and the interior design sector. Designs are becoming more elegant, more practical and easier to install. Often they set the tone in the interior and suggest successful composite solutions. Those who are engaged in the repair of the apartment or the construction of the house, it is worth asking the "door mod".
Every year, in specialized salons and construction hypermarkets, there are collections of doors with new drawings that have not been eaten by the textures and colors of the facing. But not only the appearance of the canvases changes. Manufacturers improve the design of door blocks, develop new materials and technologies for finishes, as well as locks, loops and editing techniques. Some innovations are coming out, others are not. We will introduce readers with the trends that have been observed recently.

Laconicity and monochromicity. The canvas without unnecessary decor is a comfortable tool in the hands of the designer. With their help, it is possible to place a minimalist interior or to implement courageous projects in the spirit of high-tech, ethnic and mixed styles with the same success. The modesty of the drawing is compensated by an extended palette of the finish - this applies to both painted models and veneered veneer (artificial and natural). For the bulk of the masses, the absence of Filönok is characteristic; At the same time, the popularity of embossing and pantographic is growing - milling patterns from shallow grooves.
The incarnation of the trend was the inconsistency doors, with hidden box and loops. They are easy to paint on the object in the color of the walls or any other - according to the design of the designer. It is worth noting that the quality of finishing works is very important for such structures, in particular plastered walls.

Light and transparency. Each collection of doors presented glazed models. All in great demand uses all-glass canvases. Such structures help to keep the dark hallways and corridors characteristic of our apartments, allow you to visually push the boundaries of close rooms. In the manufacture of doors, a safe tempered glass with a thickness of 8-10 mm is used. Market specialists celebrate some decline in demand for individual decors (photo printing and stained-glass windows in copyrighted sketches), as well as interest in serial new products, for example, transparent and matte canvases with a pattern of geometric shapes. A wide selection of similar products is offered by Casali, Foa, Mame Turendesign.

Variations on classic themes. Today, designers often deliberately erase the line between classic styles, combining, say, empire elements (pronounced reliefs, shaped platbands and handles on boards) with elegant contrasting strokes on a canvas, carved sockets and intricate fittings, characteristic of Baroque. An example of such a synthesis is many collections of Agoprofil factory.

The demand is used by stylization under the antiquity, in particular - massive loops on the rivets
Single surface. One of the newly entered interior solutions is finishing the wall adjacent to the door or its fragment panels combined with the door web. Manufacturers, for example Bluinterni, Ghizzi & Benatti and Unionporte, offer products both in classic and modern spirit. By the way, with the help of finishing, the panels can significantly improve the soundproofing ability of the wall.
Unusual proportions. In the sources of fashion for high (up to 3.4 m) the doors were Italian firms Bluinterni, Longhi, Lualdi and others. The majestic look of similar products fully complies with the presentation of the apartment's apartment.

5 useful rules
- Before replacing the door, dismantle old designs, otherwise it will be difficult to correctly determine the dimensions of the outlook.
- Choosing a manufacturer, pay attention to the mass of the canvas. At nominal sizes of 90 × 100 cm, it must be 14-20 kg. A more heavy sash makes it difficult to install and create an excessive load on the loop, more lung - is not strong enough and will not provide satisfactory sound insulation.
- All edges must be lined with the door for the country house. The fact is that the upper edges of the open doors are visible from stairs, galleries, residential antleesole. In addition, the trim around the perimeter reduces the likelihood of the canvas warping during moisture drops.
- Do not store purchased doors without cardboard packaging on balconies and in loggias: most finishing panels do not have resistance to direct exposure to sunlight.
- If you want to install the door with a hidden box, consider the quality of the preparation of the walls: irregularities more than 1 mm on 1 m will be well noticeable.
Practicality
Increase moisture resistance. Nowadays, any serial door of the famous manufacturer will suit the bathroom: the base material, glue and decoration withstand increased humidity and getting splashing water. Large firms are increasingly used to cover the sheatons not traditional MDF, but more dense HDF, providing the stability of the product geometry and increased resistance to moisture and temperature drops.Improving sound insulation. Manufacturers managed to achieve quite acceptable values of an air noise insulation index - 27-30 dB. True, we are talking only about the deaf (inexcluded) products with a thickness of at least 40 mm, the box of which is equipped with a seal circuit. The PET provides an increase of about 1.5 dB. Negatively affect the sound insulation of thin windows and fillets, as well as a large clearance under the canvas. Running thresholds that close this gap did not get distribution due to high cost, so when installing it is important to achieve a minimum value - 5 mm.
Silence of opening and closing. Lockers with a plastic or magnetic tongue are becoming increasingly popular. And those and others provide a soft closing, and the magnetic tongue is also not over the edge of the canvas with an open door, which impresses designers.
Test for practicality
How to make sure that you are a product of a conscientious manufacturer, not a garage workshop? First, inspect the door in oblique rays of the light and make sure that there are no waves, grains and cobblers of cracks on the surface. The first sign indicates the wrong execution of the frame, the second and the third - about the poor quality finish. Press your fingers on the trim sheet - it should not be fed. It is worth paying attention to the edges of the canvas. The budget products are lined with only two of them - the side, and the bars of the frame are visible from above and below; The latter should not have bitch. If you buy a frame facility, carefully inspect the joints of the parts - the gaps and non-procrase areas indicate a violation of production technology, such as the use of underwood wood or a negligent assembly.
Installation: Just and gently
Factory training. European firms have long become cut into the castles, make a sample under the loop and customize the bars in the factory conditions to each other. Many domestic companies adoprate this practice. The factory preparation of parts simplifies the design of the design and reduces the likelihood of an assembly marriage. At the same time, engineering solutions have been developed that allow you to choose the direction of opening the door directly on the object.The use of hidden fasteners. Previously, the box was fixed with shuruses with dowels, and platbands - special nails in the tone of the finish (for example, muttered or blades). Today use hidden mounting plates, adhesives and sealants in combination with puzzle compounds.
Troubleshooting
Cases of production marriage are not uncommon, but still the door easily fails due to installation errors. We will analyze several typical cases.
Fold creak. The reason usually lies not in the axial mechanism of loops, but in the improper insertion of the latter: with an excessive depth of the landing sockets, the loop end of the canvas sinks about the box's rack. Fix the defect is not difficult: it is enough to put under the hinge lining from the veneer.
The door when closing hits the jamb. Perhaps the design has changed the dimensions as a result of a sharp increase in humidity, but it is more likely that the box was unreliable. It is necessary to remove the platband from the loop side and check the strength of the rack mounting.
When closed, the tongue is not removed, you have to press the handle. Most likely, the response plank is deformed when mounting. At the point of contact with the tongue, it should be curved smoothly. Another reason is a defective castle.
Successful doors collection do not lose attractiveness in the eyes of buyers, but with time it is significantly cheaper. Taking advantage of this, you can save, without losing as
Question of pricing
In the door market, like in the salons of clothing, prices for new collections are higher than on old, and, of course, the cost of the product depends on the brand. If the door block of a well-known Italian firm will cost an average of 30-60 thousand rubles, then domestic - in 10-20 thousand rubles. The most expensive models are on the appearance of which industrial designers with world name worked. Here is the bottom plank - 60 thousand rubles. However, the "branded thing" often managed to purchase a lot cheaper than the initial cost: large companies, such as Union, spend the sales.
In addition, the price is affected by the method of finishing. The cheapest can be easily covered with melamine film and lined with reconstructed veneer. Several more expensive - covered with textured plastic (ecosphon). And the veneer of the tree of valuable rocks is lining only the doors of the premium class (from 40 thousand rubles). The same applies to the coloring enamels with deep glitter.

Recently, domestic companies began to offer a web with a height of up to 2300 mm (previously the limit was 2100 mm). Foreign firms are able to make doors up to 3400 mm high, but not always the product is in the warehouse program, which means you have to wait until six months

The motives of classics and modernity sounded in a new way in the Grand and Imola collections, Intarsio (Legnoform), Barcelona (Alexandrian Doors). In the manufacture of these doors, complex finishing technologies are used, including patination, because it is necessary to achieve the perfect surface quality and at the same time give the arts of the antique
