In the process of repair, the installation of interior doors takes only a few hours. But the apartment after that is transformed: tangible boundaries appear between the rooms, and the interior acquires the final completion. How to choose products capable of decorating dwelling and better function for many years?
Buying interroom doors, we focus mainly on their design. There is even a common belief that customers are not at all necessary to have an idea of the "filling" of the canvas and the method of their finish - it is enough that the product looks at all a hundred and the manufacturer gives it a guarantee. We present some counterproofs. The design of the door block directly affects its consumer characteristics. If suddenly it turns out that the door retains an attractive appearance only under the condition of careful care, or completely does not isolate the sound, or being installed in the country, does not open until you do not protrop the house, - in all these cases you can't call it and present Claims manufacturer will not succeed. Moreover, the warranty period is small (1-3 years), and we expect that the door will surely serve at least 10 years. It is worth understanding if these expectations are responsible for the products, before purchasing them. Especially if you buy doors at once for all rooms apartments or at home.

Who is who
Written doors Must be familiar to our readers. This design was developed based on the use of a wood array: the frame was made from bars, and the insertion (sealer) was from wide boards. Pilenk was inserted with a puzzle connection or stroke (as a glass into a normal window). To give the canvas intimidate appearance and at the same time to increase its strength, the frame was often separated by modern, increasing the number of fillets and decorating them with a kalewalki-curly edge. With the right selection of sawn timber (the master should pay attention to the direction of the fibers) such canvases are quite racks for the charge with humidity drops.
Today, not so many viper doors are made of wood array. For the frame, glued bars, lined with sawn veneer (its thickness - up to 10 mm), and complex elements made according to frame technology, and for fillets - MDF and chipboard. We can reproduce the fillers on the wood-chip or solid oak with hand painted. Some copyright collections, such as the Bianchini Capponi factory (Italy), are made even from real vintage boards.

The panel canvases are often lined with several veneer sheets with different fibers (4, 6). This technique allows you to give the figure to the perspective, to make it volumetric. On the strain canvases with the same purpose, the milling "Soft Line" (5)
Shield construction Nowadays, most door canvases have. They consist of a frame (strapping), double-sided skin (most often these are MDF sheets with a thickness of 4-6mm), filling and cladding (finishing). The frame is made of glued bars, and cardboard cells are most often used as filling, which in the assembly process is firmly glued to sheet cover. Such canvas are often called Tamburatny, using the Italian term. They are durable, almost not react to moisture differences and weigh very little (it reduces the load on the loop). Tamburat walls provide satisfactory sound insulation - 25-28DB in medium frequencies. Cardboard cells are used by most leading European manufacturers: Agoprofi L, Barausse, Di.B., Eff Eff Ebiquattro, Garofoli, Pivato, SJB (all - Italy), Alavus, Kilsgaard (both - Finland) IDR.
Get into size
And from the warehouse, and to order is supplied mainly by the doors of standard dimensions. In this case, the documentation and price tags usually indicate the so-called nominal size of the canvas. For one-board structures, they are usually the following: 2000/2100x600 / 700/800 / 900mm. However, the actual, or assembly, width and height of the door blocks (on the box) in different factories are derived from 10-40mm. Therefore, when buying, you need to clarify these parameters.
Some domestic firms produce a canvas with a lattice filling from solid bars, LED PDSP and MDF. Such doors are badly isolated sound, and if the size of the filling cell will exceed 100x100mm, the sheet covering can be fed or swollen with bubbles when the humidity changes.
Doors from chipboard belong to the discharge of the shield, however, their design has its own characteristics. With the simplest technology of manufacturing the door leaf from the chipboard of the plane and the ends of the grinded plate are separated by a veneer or melamine film. However, not all sorts of chipboard hold fasteners well, but a thin edge ribbon, glued to the end, it is easy to damage. Therefore, the leading manufacturers focus the canvas around the perimeter of BRUS, and so that in the place of the tree and chipboard, the crack did not appear, the canvas are covered on two sides with thin MDF, sheet plastic or other material. To facilitate the design, it is often used plates with tubular voids. By buying a panel door from pressed plates, be sure to pay attention to the upper and lower ends of the canvas. They must be sealed with edge ribbon or covered with varnish, paint IT.P. In the opposite case, the emission of harmful particles is possible. AESLI Install the door with undegraved ends in the bathroom, the canvas will soon begin to settle. The canvas from the engineering array, like any panel, have strapping and trim. But as filling the canvas, it is used by Brui of the wood of coniferous rocks, laid with or without intervals with each other and with a trim (according to this technology during the years of mass housing, entrance doors in apartments were manufactured). Compared to Tamburatny, such canvases are more durable and massive (the last quality has a positive effect on sound insulation). Complete filling with wooden bars are used in the production of some models, such as the company "Alexandrian doors" (Russia), Agoprofil.

Models in classic style: Luigi XVI (7) (NewDesignPorte); "Grenada", lined with a veneer of the American walnut (8); Peterhof, covered with sand-colored patina (9) (both - "Alexandrian doors")
Some companies can make to order FRONTONS, allowing visually to increase the height of the doorway (10). Cost - from 3500 rub.
What on the surface?
The most democratic finish of the door block details - Laminatin . It is a coating of several layers of special paper impregnated with polymer (melamine, acrylic) resin. The advantages of this material are strength and decorativeness. Modern technologies allow you to imitate with it any kind of wood, leather, stone, one-photon color, etc.
Many factories are used for cladding only Natural wood veneer . Most of all is valued veneer nut, ash, as well as solid tropical breeds. Oak and beech are much cheaper, so they are often toned under more expensive wood. The veneer door is 30-80% more expensive than laminated products of the same manufacturer.
Another type of coating - EcoSpon - Made based on polymer resin and wood fibers. He has a pronounced texture from laminatin, it is completely indistinguishable from the real tree and at the same time a much stronger veneer. However, the doors trimmed with them are almost 1.5 times more expensive than lined oak veneer.

Preparation options for door cloths: high enamel (11); horizontally glued barisandra veneer, covered with high varnish (12); Vertically glued muted oak veneer under matte varnish (13).
SEAL model from the Sensunels collection (14) created for the DI.BI factory. By the famous designer Karim Rashid. Each door of this series can be performed as interroom or entrance.
There is a way to finish as Coloring . The canvas covered with white or gray acrylic paint on the trim from MDF - they are released, for example, the factory d.craft (Russia), Alavus, Kilsgaard are very inexpensive (they are even cheaper than laminated). Many European manufacturers can paint some of their models with glossy or matte enamel in any color of the RAL palette (this increases the cost of the door by 40-60%). Much more expensive so-called High enamel - Multilayer glossy coating.

Next to the canvas, veneered oak veneer (15) and wenge (16), the silver model Pulsar (17) looks unusual.
Model SPAZIO (GHIZZI BENATTI) with matte glazing (18). The door is equipped with a box, voluntary planks and semicircular platbands. The telescopic system allows you to adapt the block to the impact of any depth. The cost of the door block is from 65 thousand rubles.
For a long time they won the recognition of designers and architects "hidden" doors, such as SECRET models (Barausse), Pucci Saoro products (Italy) IDR. These canvases are only primed, and after installation they are painted in the color of the walls.
Irazmes, in fashion, the author's collections developed by the leading designers: Massimo Jose Guini - for the Barausse factory, Agata Ruiz de la Prada - for SPAZIOquadro (Italy), Karim Rashid - for di.bi. and etc.

Pens stylized under the old days (19, 20) are perfectly combined with carved platbands, panels, painting and gilding. Modern shield canvases most often equip fittings made in the style of Hightec (21, 22).
Eh, glazes-glass windows ...
In many collections of interroom doors there are glazed models. The glass is easy to insert into any panel cloth - for this, it is enough to cut through the "window" in it and set the contour of the strapping along its perimeter. Glass inserts not only decorate the doors, but also allow you to let the natural light in the dark hallways and corridors that are often found in our apartments. Implemented domestic doors set ordinary glass. If it breaks, dangerous sharp fragments will remain in the opening. It is better to choose products with tempered glass, especially if there are small children in the house. All the most popular doors with all-glass canvases. They are released, for example, Mame Turendesign (Germany), Casali, Foa, Henry Glass, Vera Porta (VLLA collection) (All - Italy), "Academy of Glass" (Russia - Italy), Barausse (VTTRO collection). In the manufacture of the cloth use tempered glass with a thickness of 8-10mm. The most expensive models of the canvas consists of two or three sheets of tempered glass glued together (triplex and pentapersion). Holes under the loop and the lock are drilled at the factory before hardening the glass. The box is most often made of metal - steel or aluminum. Models with a wooden box are somewhat more expensive.

Often, small glasses (23, 24), which play the role of decorative elements, cut into the canvases. In order for the door to miss enough light, the glazing area should be at least 50% of the area of the web (25).
Everyone is here
A set of swing doors in addition to the web includes a box, dobor and platbands, loops (canopies), as well as fixing or locking mechanisms with handles. Many firms, especially foreign, sell doors assembly, ready for installation. However, often the buyer has to acquire all parts of the structure.On guard of rest
In order for the soundproofing ability of the canvas to be high, it should have a solid filling with wooden bars or several thin chipboard with damping pads from cork veneer or other material with a high modulus of elasticity. In addition, necessarily the presence of a threshold and a seal contour around the perimeter of the box. (The threshold can be replaced with a retractable "guillotink" embedded to the lower end of the web; the cost of this option is from 2 thousand rubles) according to specialists, the double airliner has a positive effect on sound insulation (and a quarter is chosen not only on the box, but also on canvas).
Door boxes are divided into closed (with threshold) and P-shaped. The first are designed for bathrooms and premises that require increased sound insulation, such as home theaters. Intelligence rooms and kitchens, as a rule, install doors with a second type box. The boxes of many domestic doors are sold in the form of individual bars. To assemble such a kit, it is best to invite a specialist with professional equipment.
The p-shaped box is not a rigid design - its geometry is set when installing. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the side bars and jumpers be adjusted by the level, and the gap between the canvas and the box was the same everywhere. The box is fixed in the opening using mounting plates (hidden fasteners) or frame dowels, the heads of which are closed with plastic plugs under the color of the tree. The gap between the box and the wall is better to fill in polyurethane foam. The seam made using the cement mortar is collapsed over time. To monitor the quality of installation, we open the door - the canvas should remain in this position.
On the loop side
The depth of the opening almost always turns out to be greater than the width of the bars box. Close the ends of the walls allow Dobly planks. Usually they are made from laminated or veneered MDF veneer (it is better to choose a panel with a thickness of more than 10mm). Tubes are attached to the wall with mounting glue or silicone sealant. To arrange the opening without cracks, the box and platbands must have grooves in which dotor insert.
Interior doors most often equip the usual latches without locking mechanism. For the bathroom and private premises, you will need a latch with a one-sided blocking mechanism - "Capture". AESLI You want the door to locate outside, you will need an interroom suvalid castle, a lock with a cylinder or a special code handle - for example, model Code-IT (MUL-T-Lock, Israel). However, such a lock should not be installed in the nursery: although it can be opened outside the outside with a knife or a screwdriver, the situation is likely when there is no time to look for these tools.
Unusual abilities
Sliding, folding and swinging doors are much less popular than swinging. However, in some cases, the non-standard method of opening significantly improves the ergonomics of the apartment. Often, such doors are used in design purposes, for example, in the apartments designed in the style of Hi-Tech, or Japanese interiors.

Sliding doors: DOVER (from 68 thousand rubles) (28); Vetra (from 52 thousand rubles.) (29). The frames are lined with veneer nut, glass is decorated with sandblasting.
Sliding door (30) with an open MSTS rolling mechanism (set value - from 70 thousand rubles). Such devices are made of steel with various decorative coatings. They look much more presentable than traditional wooden eaves.
Updavzhny doors The canvases can move in the opening (one comes for another, and the part of the opening opens), along the wall and remove into the "wall". Sliding construction saves a useful area, but worse than swing, isolates sounds. In addition, to get used to the use of such a door, it takes some time. For a sliding door, almost any door canvas will fit. Preference gives products without grooves and layouts. The opening can be separated with the help of goodbirds. The rolling mechanism of the sliding door consists of the upper guide and roller suspensions. The compact also includes brush seals, which glue on platbands. High-quality mechanisms are produced by GEZE (Germany), Eclisse, Koblenz (both - Italy). Note that the sliding door must be equipped with a stopping limiter protected from pinching fingers. Therefore, the edge of the 80-100mm width of 80-100mm always performs in the opening.

Two parts of the canvas of the door-book "are made separately - only this way can ensure the proper structural strength (31).
The top roller and the guide do not give the canvas to go aside (32).
Folding doors , or doors - "books", are special models supplied to order. Such, for example, LIBRO (Barausse), MERAVIGLIA (SJB). Their canvas consists of two equal or unequal parts connected by hidden mortise loops. At the same time, one part of the canvases are placed on the box, and the second is equipped with a roller, which moves along the top rail (it does not give the canvas to go aside). The doors of the "books" when opening require very little space and, unlike sliding structures moving along the wall, do not interfere with set next to the opening furniture or equipment. However, the folded cloth reduces the width of the opening about 80mm.
Swing doors You can open in any side by a simple push, so they are installed where an intensive movement is assumed, for example, between the kitchen and dining area. Products of this type are equipped with special loops with a spring return mechanism. The box is performed without a quarter and sometimes supply a petal rubber seal. But despite this, such products are insulating sounds and protect from smells worse than ordinary swing doors.
