Types of interior doors

The production of door leafs and their components is carried out using modern technologies using various materials. A variety of execution can please the needs of any person. The door should fully correspond to its purpose, but at the same time perfectly combine with the interior decoration of the rooms. It doesn’t matter what model the main thing was that all the doors are in the same style. Otherwise, heterogeneity will lead to disharmony, violation of the integrity of the interior.

Mazonite doors.The Canadian company Masonite is the ancestor of these doors, and their name came from it. The design is a kind of sandwich, where the front sides are made of sheets of fiberboard, but the filling between them is 3 types: with paper, brush and fiberboard filler.

• A plus. Environmental purity. Attractive external qualities. Low cost. Relatively good performance.

• Minus. Low strength, especially doors with paper filling. Low wear resistance.

Plastic doors.Polyvinyl chloride makes it possible to make doors of various shapes and in any color scheme. PVC products are undemanding in care, resistant to temperature changes and a change in humidity in the room.

• A plus. High strength. Resistance to a change in microclimate. The price corresponds to the declared technical characteristics.
• Minus. The level of environmental purity is in question.

Glass doors.Doors from such material were widely used, thanks to not only exquisite design, but also high strength indicators. Despite the apparent fragility, it is very difficult to break such a canvas. For manufacturing, 3 types of glass are used: Matolux, triplex and hot glass.

• A plus. Visually increase the room. They are not afraid of moisture, temperature changes. They are made to order.
• Minus. High price. Do not give sensations of warmth and reliability.

Interior doors from an array.Particular attention is deserved by canvases made of solid natural wood. Production is carried out both from rare, valuable species of trees, and from a completely cheap forest. The canvas can be deaf or have a glass insert.

The redesigned array is a subspecies of wooden doors. Production technology consists in gluing wood bars under pressure. The location of the lumber has its own. Calculations are based on numerous strength tests. Thanks to this technique, the canvas is not subjected to deformation.

• pros. Absolute harmlessness. Reliability and durability. Respectable appearance.
• Minuses. High price of a massif doors.

Selection of interior doors according to the opening method

The classification of doors from the array is carried out according to many criteria. First of all, when choosing, you should decide on the material, and then with the method of opening them. It depends on the design of the door, how much their operation will be comfortable and functional.

• Swing doors from an array.Conceived species. Such doors are opened only in one direction. They can have both one and two canvases. Sometimes the sash differ in size. The swing option is impractical in rooms with a small area, because open doors occupy some kind of space and can interfere with free movement.

• Pendulum doors.Thanks to a special mount, they open in both directions. These doors are designed for spacious rooms, since when opening you need free space both on one and the other. The canvases for such fasteners should be light, so the tree is not used here.
• Sliding doors.Open by shifting the canvas (paintings) along the guides. The design is relevant for small rooms, the space is especially saved if the rails are installed inside the partition. If such doors are mounted after construction work, then external guides will be needed. Basically, the door frame is made of aluminum or PVC profile, and an open glass with a decorative coating acts as an insert.

• Folding doors (accordion). Significantly save space. The design consists of several narrow panels that are added to the accordion when opening. Sliding is carried out along the upper, sometimes lower guides. The panels can be deaf or with glass stained -glass inserts. The frame is made of different materials.
• Stable doors. A variety of swing doors. Here, the wings are not divided vertically, but horizontally, where each has its own fasteners and locks. This version of the doors is installed more often in private houses, so the lower sash does not allow to penetrate from the street of animals, and the upper serves for ventilation. Usually the lower part is deaf, and the upper can have a transparent insert. In the apartments, stable doors rarely mount.

Types of wood for doors from array

Aesthetic and operational characteristics depend on 2 things of production and wood itself. Each breed has distinctive features, the manufacturer can only strengthen the unique properties or minimize their negative sides. As a result of the tandem, the consumer receives durable with high aesthetic qualities of the canvas.

Doors from the array oak

• Such wood is a synonym for hardness, strength and unshakability. Its light pink texture with dark brown veins attracts many consumers. Over time, the product darkens, thereby acquiring a noble appearance.

• The strength characteristics are the key to the reliability of the door leaf. If the oak wood was qualitatively dried and processed, then such doors will last decades. Of the disadvantages, only the weight of the product can be noted.

Buke massif doors

• Its wood is only slightly inferior to the oak in mechanical properties. Uniform with a light cream tint, it allows the doors to fit into almost any interior. The array is perfectly treated and grinding, which makes it possible to make high -quality door leafs.
• From the point of view of professionals, the beech wood is slightly capricious - it feels a change in the level of humidity in the room. However, if the manufacture of the canvas was carried out at a large enterprise on expensive equipment in compliance with all technological processes, then no moisture will be terrible. Interior doors from the beech array have the most positive reviews of the owners.

A Jasena array door

• This valuable wood with unique properties is used to make paintings along with oak and beech. The strength characteristics are even superior to oak indicators. The wood is elastic and flexible, which allows you to use it for the production of doors of complex, intricate shapes.

• A wide range of shades is offered by ash from light to dark color. It is known that the best characteristics are shown by wood in the cortex than that of the core of the trunk. So, light shades of the wood of ash prevail precisely in the bark.
• Products from this breed are not susceptible to deformation, perfectly respond to temperature changes and high humidity, resistant to mechanical influences, are not demanding in care.

Massive doors

• The canvas made of pine wood has an attractive texture and a pleasant aroma. But low density cannot withstand mechanical stress for a long time. In addition, pine does not tolerate moist conditions poorly, and therefore, the canvases are not recommended to be installed in kitchen and bathrooms. Since for a harmonious interior, all doors should be the same, the pine door leafs are more suitable for offices than for the house.
• Another disadvantage of this wood is resins that can be released during operation. Therefore, most consumers prefer doors from the alder massif, which always remain clean.

Exotic rocks

• This category includes trees growing in tropical forests. Sequoia, Mahagoni, Weng, Eben are hidden behind the outlandish names: unique strength characteristics, an amazing texture in beauty. You can buy interior doors from an array of wood data data only in elite construction stores.

Continued elements for doors made of array

The interior door includes not only the canvas, most of the components occupy most: platbands, box, threshold, fittings and so on. In the end result, the total cost of related trifles can be compared with the price of the door leaf.

• It is important to remember that additional elements should be made of the same wood as the door. A serious manufacturer is certified by the products.
• Before acquisition, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with all accompanying documents. At the same time, you do not need to know the regulatory provisions of GOST and SNiP, it is enough that the papers are available.

Frozen doors from an array

Before you go to the store, it is necessary to measure the doorway and based on these data, you can proceed to the choice of the canvas. All calculations are desirable only after the installation of the flooring. In other cases, it is necessary to take into account how much the floor level can rise after completion of work.

• The width of the opening.A construction roulette measure the width of the opening at least 3-4 points (at the top, below, in the middle). The minimum indicator is taken as the basis. If it is possible to straighten the wall, for example, locally knocking down concrete, brick or vice versa a little to apply the solution, then here it is quite possible to take the arithmetic mean. In the calculations, the mounting gap of 5-10 cm on each side should be taken into account.

• The height of the opening. Similarly, height is measured (on the right, left, in the middle). Not forgetting to take into account the floor level.

Tip: canvases from domestic manufacturers are produced mainly to the standard height, that is 2 meters, which means that the height under the box should be 2.07-2.10 m. At this stage, it is better to finalize the opening in height.

It will be important to take into account the door with or without a threshold.

• The thickness of the walls.This indicator will help determine whether the need for the use of additional ones will be. Dobges are panels that are installed in cases where the wall thickness is greater than the width of the box. It is worth noting that the standard size is 7.5 cm.

The main points when installing the door from the array

Installation of the box, door leaf, requires not only the presence of a skill, but also a special tool for inserting loops and locks. It is not recommended to engage in installation work on their own. Not every master is able to cut the accessories into the canvas especially from valuable wood, where errors are often not subject to correction.

It is worth noting that the doors may have different readiness for installation:

the kit includes a box, a platband and a canvas. The sizes of the door frame, the insertion of loops and locks is carried out independently.

the door door is completely ready for installation, that is, it only needs to be mounted.

• The gap between the door leaf and the box on the sides and above should be 2 mm, from below about 6 mm, if the rooms are provided in the room, then the distance is increased.
• A canvas made of an array of wood is mounted on 3 door loops (top, bottom, in the middle). For such heavy doors, it is better to use hemispherical awnings, in which case the removal of the canvas will happen easier. From the bottom and top of the door, 25 cm is measured, the extreme canopies are placed at these points, another canopy will be located in the center, that is, at a distance of 1 m from the top or the bottom of the canvas.

Methods for installing a door from an array with your own hands

There are 2 main methods for installing doors with your own hands. Here you just need to choose the best option.

The first way

• In accordance with the door leaf, the box is assembled. Places for loops, lock and door handle are cut. The unit is installed in the opening and fixed using wooden wedges, observing the vertical and horizontal in all planes.
• The fasteners to the wall are carried out by means of self -tapping screws or dowels, depending on which material the wall is made of, the partition. In the closed position between the canvas and the box, spacers are inserted, for this you can use a 2-3 mm thick sheet. The space between the wedges and the wall is filled with foam.

The second method

• The door box is cut in size to the size of the canvas, fixed in the opening using hardware, wedges, foam. After the foam dries completely, the lock crashes, the canopies are installed. This method is more suitable for light doors, since a massive canvas will be quite difficult to keep on weight, checking the correspondence of all elements.
• As for the platbands, their incapation can be carried out by cut at an angle of 45 or 90. The fasteners are carried out in finishing nails, the lack of hats makes them almost invisible.

Massive doors care

The coating made in the factory provides reliable protection. But during operation, various situations may occur when recovery work may be needed.

• The most common defect is a scratch that is quite easy to eliminate. The damaged place is moistened and neatly squeezed with fine sandpaper. Then the polishing wax is rubbed with a soft cloth.

• As a rule, the doors from the array do not require special care. Cleaning is carried out only by special means. It is forbidden to use abrasive cleaning agents, chemical components may enter the interaction with wood, which will entail a change in color and can accelerate natural aging.
• To remove dust, it is enough to wipe the door with a slightly moistened rag. Repeating the procedure is already carried out with a dry soft cloth to remove wet stains.

Massive doors made of high -quality wood, in compliance with all technological processes, will last long decades.
