The decor of interroom doors: what the "flagships" of the door business are offered.
About the interior door Permanent readers of our magazine know all or almost all: classification, manufacturing technology, design features ... And now, when the pressing problems are solved and detailed practical answers are obtained for practical questions, you can sigh freely and in a relativeline to talk about what - Lovely elevated. For example, an excellent topic for the secular conversation - the décor of interroom doors!
The topic, we admit, not easy, since the huge variety of finishing materials and types of decor makes noticeably complicates the task of the narrator. Each major manufacturing company is able to offer dozens (if not hundreds) finishing options. However, we will not exaggerate: classification and in this case it is quite possible.
Let's notify immediately: all the examples that we will give is, first of all, samples of professional, high-quality recognized by all design. As a rule, alas, foreign and (from the prose of life they will not get anywhere) - dear. Russian companies often copy Western European products, and, I must say, do it well. So the twin doors appear in the market, the cost of which is so radically, that, according to a well-known aphorism, I don't want to believe our eyes. But this is not an illicit. The Russian analogue of the "overseas" model can really cost several times cheaper (not always, but quite often). However, since the theme of our small study is exclusively decor, refer to the originals, let them serve as a source of creative ideas!
Full set or freedom of choice?
Before proceeding to the review of specific models presented in the Russian market, we note a number of common features. Modern manufacturers, as a rule, offer ready-made kits that include the door (door leaf), door box, platbands and fitness. About the decor of the door canvase we will speak below. As for the platbands, their purpose is akin to the role played by the picture frame: they are framed by the doorway, limiting and decorating the input space.With all the variety of these products, several types of them should be selected: flat, rounded (shaped), curly and telescopic. Punch material for them is usually used wood or MDF. As a rule, platbands are offered complete with doors, but it is quite possible to choose one or another one or another. If we are talking about wooden or tree trimmed under the tree, then the platbands are also made from the tree to the tone of the canvase and are less likely pick up in contrast (dark-luminous). Glass or partially glazed doors are presented in a set with platbands, the color of which can be any, but excessive reztrota is not welcome and in this case (it should be picturesquely to be a canvas, and not frame!). Configuration of platbands depends on the style of design. The most common flat. They perfectly suit the interior in the style of minimalism or High Tech. Rounded, as well as curly (sometimes with overhead "columns", pilasters or other decorative elements) are combined with models in the baroque spirit, rococo or classicism. They look wonderful, but not appropriate in every interior.
As for that, whether to demonstrate their independence or it is better to trust the manufacturer, then we will only allow yourself to express an opinion. The search for the desired model is undoubtedly fascinating, but not always grateful. Imagine that you will have to pick up the platbands into the tone of the existing door. Fore, you won't carry with you shopping as a sample. In a word, if you do not feel about the category of unusually lucky people or do not seek to demonstrate the surrounding the nonstandarity of thinking, - get ready!
Sightseeing tour
So, imagine yourself in the role of excursors who have to learn a lot of new on the wonderful canvases. Not picturesque, truth, and door. By type of filling, they are known to be glazed and deaf. Let's start in order.
Behind the glass
Most recently, such a type of doors was, to put it mildly, a little common in the interiors of our compatriots. However, now the situation is changing radically. I just want not only solitude and silence ("deaf" wooden canvas perfectly meets such a wish), but also some festive, light, shine, the sun, in the end! Again, the one who wishes to keep up with the times should not forget that the glass is the High Tech style material. Fashion for minimalism is also relevant. In addition, glass, especially transparent, the door allows you to zonate space in a new way - not separating it, but, on the contrary, combining. The transition from the corridor or hallway to the living room, as well as from the living room to the kitchen, it is not necessary to hide behind an impenetrable door. On the contrary, the openness of the space in this case will visually increase the area of the premises. The glass door, according to experts, is ideal for both the bathroom (such a canvas, as a rule, is protected by a special coating from pollution and moisture). Common sense suggests that in such a situation, glass must be at least, matte or opaque colored, but, it is necessary to recognize any official restrictions on this score.As for the decoration of walls, gender and ceiling, as well as furnishing, in this case, local colors and simple, minimalist form are best. This does not mean that only furniture made of glass and plastic is acceptable. The main thing is that it should not be too massive and fright. If you do in your home the bet on the so-called classics, then from the thought to buy a glass door, alas, you will have to refuse. The supplier of glass doors to the Russian market is traditionally Italy (Astor Mobili, Rimadesio, Henry Glass, Foa, Longhi, Albed, Arte Vetro Casali and many others). However, recently, excellent samples are supplied by Germany (Licht Harmonie (Grauthoff), mom Tu..rendesign, etc.), and domestic producers (for example, "Atlantic-Art") also turn out to be heard.
Glass is absolutely transparent (color or colorless) and matte (again, color or colorless). Very often, it is decorated with a pattern, which is applied either by engraving, etching or sandblasting, or special paints. Also, stained glass and inserts from Murano glass also deserve special attention, many of whom can be considered real works of decorative art.
So, let's start our review and start with models in which the decor is absent almost completely (first of all, it concerns projects in minimalist style). Interior partition Quadrante ($ 1033) of the Italian company Rimadesio-transparent or matte glass with an edging of aluminum coated with veneer. Designers did not allow themselves no excesses: simplicity was erected in principle. Such a restrained design, but much more democratic at the prices of the partition from Albed. The cost of models from the SCREEN series is from $ 400.
Engraving- Traditional and extremely popular reception used to create a picture on the glass. It is done manually, but most often with the help of a special, sometimes extremely complex computerized equipment (one of the most famous technologies of the new time is the so-called laser engraving, which allows you to create three-dimensional glass, really bulk images).
Models of the CONTURA series ($ 730-1143) Mama Tu..rendesign are decorated with a geometric pattern, which is made by the fates mill. Deep slits emphasize the natural nobility of glass. The same technique is also used to decorate the door Palatino ($ 1472) of the German company Licht Harmonie (Grauthoff).
ARTE VETRO CASALI factory, which was awarded the title of the National Art Workshop, produces a door of a crystal canvase (glass of the highest strength and transparency is manufactured by special technology: Triple hardening with lead adding). The light permeates the crystal door, and the fancy pattern, engraved on its surface, is projected on the floor, the ceiling and the walls of the room - the effect is simply magical! Designers offer over fifty pictures, but the customer can develop its own. Calculation of prices is usually carried out individually, since a lot depends on the characteristics of one or another modification.
The Russian company "Atlantic, Art" handles the glass cloth on the equipment of the Italian company Z. Bavelloni. Engraving, according to experts, uses constant success. As for the cost of the finished product, it will depend on many factors: the type of glass processing, type of decor, model, etc.
Chemical etching is carried out by exposure to plastic acid steams on an unpainted glass surface. The result is obtained either matte or transparent drawing. It must be said that this process is very laborious and, accordingly, dear, hence the high prices for products, decorated in this way. Therefore, sandblasting is much more likely used in similar purposes.
Doors from the Sensita collection (Mama Tu..rendesign) decorated in this way. The matte pattern is applied on both sides of the glass web and this seems voluminous. The canvas itself is treated with a special composition from pollution, rough surface always needs more protection than smooth. The cost of models in the collection is from $ 786 to $ 1143.
By engraving, etching and sandblasting are obtained, as a rule, only matte-white or (in some cases) a transparent embossed pattern. But the color in the decoration of the premises often plays the dominant role! Designers creating glass projects are perfectly aware and skillfully use all the benefits of the material. You can "bloom" transparent or monochrome glass in many ways. Let's say with the help of artistic painting (a wonderful example of Color Art Licht Harmonie Factory). Or ceramic paints that are applied to the surface of the canvas and are subjected to thermal processing. Such a "baked" in the glass Figure is resistant to any kind of damage and besides, there are always fresh and yaps.
The welded glass, painted in mass (metal oxides are used to create all sorts of shades in production), is another traditional (known since the time of the ancient Phoenicians) and a stunningly beautiful sample of decor. The Tutto Vetro series of Karis factory (Italy) is designed for all who are not afraid of the words "eclecticism" and among many styles prefers exquisitely whimsical and decorative in their essence modern. Model Dedicato a Klimt ("Dedicated to Clima") - author's work. Not as much door as a decorative artistic panel, a beautiful design technique. MaRe door in any interior will create a sunny and festive mood: skipping and reflecting light, glass and itself becomes light-touch.
But if we talk about mood or emotional impact, then in this respect is outside the competition of stained glass. Stained glass doors of BOSCA- visual evidence of such an approval. Stylized flowers and tree branches. Again are close to the stylistry of modern. Well, the rethinking of the past sometimes leads to wonderful discoveries in modern times. The Russian company Alpha offers a sliding partition with film stained glass window. Transparent color film is much cheaper than glass, and the effect, I must say, is just as wonderful. However, the choice is yours ...
The Italian company ASTOR Mobili, among other decor options, uses inserts from Murano glass, including those performed in the famous Millefiori technique ("Thousand Colors"). The pleasure is expensive (cost 1m2 partitions - from $ 500), but experts will confirm that the price is justified by the quality of the product.
A kind of transitional link between the fully glazed and so-called deaf doors is the model with glass inserts (or mirrors). Loda presents the original Aquarium L.1, Floreal and Bi models. L.1. Motion Fish from Murana Glass, real wildflowers and beads enclosed in a thickness of a transparent material - you agree, the idea is very unusual. Stained insertion in model 131-V ($ 1314) Agoprofil is perfectly combined with a veneer texture. It would be infinite to bring examples of this kind, but we have to get acquainted with a different type of decor. Then we will discuss the tree and its modern substitutes.
Knock on you to open!
The existence of deaf wooden doors is consecrated by century old tradition. Moreover, the selection of the model in this case is determined only by the style of the interior - with any materials (from velvet to nylon and from gold to aluminum) the tree combines great. However, some restrictions, of course, are. The door made from the array, inlaid or trimmed with a veneer of rare wood, is the pleasure of expensive, and the expensive permanently, and not only at the time of purchase. If you do not guarantee a certain level of humidity and temperature in the house, you will soon begin inevitable and unpleasant adventures. We'll have to periodically call the restorers (in large firms producing wooden doors, even there is such a regular position), therefore, to constantly lose time and time, and money. Well, for beauty you have to pay. And even with modern damage to universal democratization, an array of wood and veneer is still used for the manufacture and finishing of doors. In the case of the main element of the decor, the texture of the material itself becomes often.
ES ($ 1470) and NarcisOS ($ 1800) and Narcisos ($ 1800) of SJB (Italy) are made of massif and coated with a veneer of nut, cherries or the root of the Mirta. Model 137-p ($ 1065) from Agoprofil is an artificially aged walnut array. Garofoli company works by the tree, offering a wide selection of products. Garofoli uses for the manufacture of doors a set of valuable wood, imported from all over the world. Usually, every type of wood is present in the collection of the company in several versions of tinting, which greatly increases the possibility of choice.
A variety of textures and shades allows you to apply inlaid technique (for inlays with wood wood, there is a special name - intarsia). The fantasy of the master is limitless, but it must be remembered that the process of selection and combination of elements is always extremely laborious. The inlaid door is very and very expensive, although her truly "royal" justifies the costs. Such a "palace" option model Z31 from Giemme (Francesco Molon). The rosewood array is encrusted with a rosewoman, the appearance is simply stunning. From this close to gilding, stucco, bronze handles, vignettes and picturesque inserts. Why not? The Anticato ($ 1100) model of Bertolotto (Italy) is decorated with painting and, moreover, artificially constituted at the expense of special varnishing techniques. Aesley You are not going to turn your house into palace chambers? Then you are without regrets to give up all this magnificence and find something more acceptable for modern housing.
The doors of the popular SPLENDIA line from Garofoli are produced in several other technology than their collections from the massif. In the case, the framework is made from the massif of the valuable tree of the tree: walnut, pears, cherries and a dark South American canoeing tree. Pilenki serves a multi-layer veneer (plywood from a thickness of 2mm thick), the box is also covered with veneer. In addition, a special wax coating Arte Povera is applied to the products from the canoe, which gives the wooden surface unique brilliance. Splendia doors have a design that often imites competitors. It combines well with modern style interiors. The star collection SPLENDIA is a Supra model ($ 1150) with a glass into a thin strip, remotely resembling the outlines of Japanese seats.
The BERTOLOTTO has already mentioned by us offers several collections of doors covered with veneer. The VENEZIA series can be called classic. In addition to the magnificent texture of the tree (cherry, oak, nuts, walnut are used), the only decor-figured panels. However, nothing else is required. Models from the Primavera series (from $ 440) with a variety of inserts will be appropriate in any interior.
Luxuriously and at the same time, the doors from the Sottsass series developed by the famous Sottsass Associati architectural studio for Cocif look like. The MADRAS model ($ 1790) is made of beech and covered with genuine leather. The same company, it must be noted, produces and much cheaper doors. For example, a model A-8.24, made of a set of solid and a veneer coated, costs $ 453. Rimadesio, 3 Elle, Nusco Porte, Novipla, Legnoform, Cooplegno, Tre-Piu, Portedi, Sincro Set, Longhi, Foa, Bosca, Dila, Comas (Italy), Proma (Spain), also ) And others. The Russian Tree Factory "Java" produces doors from the massif of valuable rocks (oak, beech, ash) using the technology of the Dutch company Java Deurenfabriek BV. If we speak as a whole, the prices for doors with a finish of a natural veneer range from $ 250 to several thousand.
Calculate the advantages of natural materials - the exercise is empty. The millennial experience of craftsmen craftsmen does not need to be verified and our competent approval. However, some but still exist. Veneer, no matter how well it is covered with mastic, is smoked and painted, still fades or, on the contrary, it darkens with time. In addition, it represents a greater danger to the tree (we have already talked about it above) a lack or excess of moisture.
The laminate invention is relatively recent. It is produced in unlimited quantities (here they are, inquiries of mass culture!) And it is a synthetic material that, as manufacturers assure, no hazard for health. The texture of any type of wood, all sorts of imitation, a variety of colors - to distinguish high-quality laminate from a natural veneer is not easy (justice to note that it is usually not cheaper). The advantages of synthetic material should be noted increased moisture resistance and strength. Of the disadvantages ... the main drawback is, perhaps it is precisely that it is synthetic: still a living warm tree is difficult to replace.
The Italian company Errebi Porte produces doors, in the finishing of which is used laminate, imitating the texture of the valuable tree of the tree. We all cost about $ 260. However, most producer companies willingly use this material, and it is far from always "mask" under the tree. Often the surface is covered with colored varnish or paint, and it looks no worse. Laminated doors from the Venezia collection (BERTOLOTTO), bright, colored, is the ideal option for those who wish to make their home as fun and cheerful.
Laminatine coating, which has greater compared to laminate, flexibility and resistance to different kinds of influences. Increased humidity, shocks, animal claws Laminatin are not scary. Laminding from laminate and veneer, it does not give chips. Finally, the characteristic, extremely important for the decor: Laminatin does not fade and does not darken. The coating doors from this material (from $ 225) for the first time to produce the company DOOR-2000 (Italy). To date, the widest choice of models from laminatey is proposed.
In the interior, a laminate, imitating a tree, can be successfully combined with wooden or wicker furniture, parquet, etc. The focus should be given to the texture and, which is especially important, the combinance of various textures. Honestly, long reflection on the topic "How grandmother's oak dawn looks next to the laminated door under the nut" is essentially hopeless. You can predict, but it is difficult, therefore, it is better not to risk and turn to a specialist. Or initially pick things, considering the color and texture. Laminated doors covered with colored varnish or paint are designed for the interior solved in a modern style. Now even minimalism allows you to bloom the space with bright colors. The main thing is to remember what should be remembered - the door should not be too bright and an annoying stain. However, manufacturers tend to offer sufficiently discreet, albeit deep tones. In love case, do not forget about the general compositional solution of space: the colors should be equilibrium with each other.
Of course, the wealth of finishing materials and decor does not exhaust. Tre-PIU also uses multi-colored reflective polyester and aluminum. Dark with mirror glitter Coverage of the REVER model (from $ 805) - the original find: can be placed one-photon cloth, and the reflection in it will be a motley. A similar model of Convex (design from Porche) is already $ 1250. Pay in this case is not for the material, but for the name. As for aluminum, he, as she dreamed of our famous Democrat Chernyshevsky revolutionary, now literally everywhere. Matte, polished, corrugated, in the form of curly inserts, profiles or a whole web, aluminum is somehow used to produce and decorate doors by most companies. If you like modern directions in design, especially minimalism and High Tech, this is your choice! And it is not necessary to talk about a fixed value again. The only correct conclusion, which, in connection with this, can be done, is that the price is often determined by not so many materials as the manufacturer's fame and the features of the decor (than it is more difficult, the more expensive model). And yet, you see, on beauty, as well as health, it is not worth saving.
