Plastic doors. Plastic entrance doors Metal-plastic entrance doors without glass imitation wood

The stereotype that plastic entrance doors are only suitable for shops and municipal institutions is gradually losing its relevance. It has been proven in practice that these comfortable structures can be beautiful and reliable.

If you study the subtleties and features of their choice, they will last more than one year, protecting the inhabitants of the house and their property.

Peculiarities

Plastic door leaves and PVC profile products are a reliable product for protection in a private house, country cottage, on the border between zones inside the premises, for isolation of any outbuildings on the territory of a personal or suburban area.

Their main feature, it is also the main advantage, is that a competent combination of materials and the door structure itself are multifunctional. PVC doors are suitable for installation outside, on a balcony, or in a greenhouse. At the same time, they cope with different tasks that dictate different conditions: they isolate sounds and smells, help keep the room warm, are protected from attempts to penetrate, and are resistant to temperature and humidity extremes.

You can even install such a structure in a pool, bathhouse or sauna. It will withstand an atmosphere of constant humidity, and this will not affect its appearance and operational condition, which cannot be said about wooden or metal doors.

For greater reliability and preservation of the aesthetic architectural appearance of the house, the PVC door can be used as a second door. The outer door leaf can be metal with any kind of finish and a protective coating that prolongs the life of the cladding.

You can buy ready-made doors from almost any manufacturer or order them according to individual sizes. Minor repairs of PVC door structures are quite simple and can be done with your own hands.

Advantages and disadvantages

A good front door should combine a large number of advantages and not have disadvantages in relation to factors such as burglary resistance, thermal insulation, resistance to negative environmental influences.

Plastic door leaves meet most of these criteria:

• High material strength. It is achieved in different ways, among which the production of a door leaf from metal-plastic, an increase in the thickness of the door, the presence of stiffeners in the door cavity are more widespread;
• The door thickness is 95-120 mm. It will take a lot of time and effort to cut or break such a structure;
• The door cavity is filled with insulation;
• The PVC profile is lightweight, which makes installation easier;

• PVC doors are fire resistant. Their efficiency is lower than that of steel doors with a special filler, however, they are almost non-flammable, and the air gap inside the profile and the seal layer protect the room from smoke and odor;
• Acidic and alkaline compounds do not affect the surface of the material, do not corrode the top layer and do not spoil the color. Any contamination can be easily removed with household chemicals;
• Also, the surface is not afraid of mechanical damage of various nature: impacts, scratches, animal claws and other troubles;
• Service life - at least 20 years;
• Presentable appearance;

• Environmental and sanitary safety;
• Convenient door opening with one touch of the handle;
• Plastic structures and double-glazed windows are a reference point for other types of products in terms of sound insulation. Such doors will not allow any extraneous sounds to enter the house, since there are air chambers in the construction of the sandwich panel;
• Products do an excellent job with thermal insulation. A reliable circuit does not allow heat to go out, and the canvas itself is designed so that freezing and icing does not threaten it. Thanks to this quality, plastic doors are convenient for installation in domestic boiler rooms or in dressing rooms, from where heat should not escape;
• PVC doors can be found both in the economy segment of the market and in premium models, but their cost in any case wins in comparison with wooden and steel structures;

• Ample opportunities for the design of the exterior of the house and interior. Deaf white door leaves made of PVC profiles are from the last century. Today their variety is very large: traditionally white and colored models, chocolate and black shades, gray and bright colors, the presence of double-glazed windows, various decor, non-standard models;
• Sealed shutter. An excellent clamping density is provided by the seal in conjunction with special clamps;
• A high level of burglary resistance, which is ensured by a wide profile, reinforced door hinges, reinforced with a closed reinforcement. Additional protection is provided by a powerful steel profile, anti-burglar fittings and shockproof glass units;
• Easy to repair and adjust;
• The products are certified and meet all standards.

The listed advantages are relative and largely depend on the conscientiousness of the manufacturers.

The same applies to the disadvantages, among the possible:

• The simplicity of plastic entrance doors does not harmonize well with luxurious finishes and interiors. They are suitable for many interiors due to their versatility, but in some they are simply "lost" due to their laconicism;
• Even adherence to all production standards does not exclude the possibility of cracking of the glass unit at the joints and the appearance of "bubbles" on the laminated canvas;
• With a high level of protection against burglars, plastic doors are inferior to wood and even more so steel;
• Low level of mechanical stability. The state standard allows the production of doors without an additional profile. However, it is not resistant to damage and the use of physical force;

• The environmental friendliness of plastic doors is very relative. For example, in comparison with solid wood door panels, they are significantly inferior in quality. The internal cavities of such doors are treated with special compounds that increase their resistance to weathering, the film on laminated doors is of chemical origin and contains chlorine, phenol and aldehyde, which evaporate under the influence of sunlight;
• GOST prohibits the use of lead in the manufacture of doors, however, dishonesty continues to flourish and some aspects of the standards are not followed in practice.

Design features

Technical characteristics include information on the standards by which plastic (metal-plastic) doors are made, materials used in production, design features.

Standard plastic doors consist of the following elements:

• Door frame (frame). The base of the frame for the entrance door is a profile with two, three, four or five chambers. A reinforcing metal profile is installed as a stiffening rod, which is necessary for installing reliable locks and heavy hinges. The corners of the profile are connected with special elements. Platbands must be present on top;

• Door leaves. The basis of the door leaf is a metal frame sewn on both sides. Durability is provided by a multi-chamber (2 to 5) profile. Outside, on the entrance doors, metal sheathing is used, inside there is a thermal breaker (prevents the door from freezing). Double-glazed windows, glass, triplexes can also be used for external design.
• Locking system. The reliability is increased by the installation of crossbars along the entire perimeter. The most common type of locks is lever, but more modern systems are also possible, for example, coded.

• Fittings. It mainly includes hinges and handles. The hinges are selected in accordance with the weight of the structure (the average value varies in the range of 80-100 kilograms), and the handles - with the purpose of the door. If there are small children in the house, you should pay attention to the handles with a locking system. Also, fittings include door closers for smoother closing, latches, linings, strips, locks.
• Sealant. It creates tightness (protection from sounds, odors and drafts), softens the sound of a slamming door, and prolongs its service life due to the fact that the edge of the door and the frame do not knock against each other. The higher the quality, the longer it will last.
• Threshold. It can be frame, steel and aluminum. Frame is a part of a one-piece door frame, a steel threshold is a separate element and is intended for entrance doors, an aluminum product can be insulated.

GOST

Production standards at the legislative level regulate the ability to choose a quality product. In accordance with GOST, metal-plastic doors are divided into external and internal, deaf and glazed, with different structural features, with variable types of finishes.

A blank door leaf has an opaque appearance. It can be plain or with an architectural pattern. Glazing is made by double-glazed windows or any other glass that meets safety requirements.

As for the design, plastic entrance doors are divided into:

• Single-leaf and double-leaf. Doors with two leaves, in turn, are subdivided into models with leaves of the same and different width;
• With an opening and fixed sash;
• With the presence and absence of a frame;
• With a threshold and without a threshold;
• By the number of chambers (interlayers) in the profile, there are two, three, four and five chambers.

The profile is finished with a front film, front cover, metal in different colors.

In addition, GOST regulates the thickness of the insulation for different-chamber profiles (16, 20, 24 mm), the level of sound insulation (at least 26dBA), air permeability, the number of door openings (500,000), the conditional service life of individual elements (profile - 40 years, double-glazed windows - 20 years, fittings and insulation - up to 10).

GOST lays down strict rules regarding the technical requirements for products. These include standard door dimensions, interior filling, fittings condition and tolerances. The quality control procedure, packaging technology, transportation methods and storage conditions are also spelled out.

A quality product that will last for many years must meet all the requirements of the state standard.

Design

The appearance of plastic doors opens up great opportunities for decorating the facade of the house. The rich model range includes simple fixed doors in classic white, doors in brown and black tones, models with a window or several glass elements, various colored decor, stained glass or real painting, glossy and matte finish, with natural wood finish. A window or glass inserts are provided in a wide variety of shapes: rectangles, squares, rhombuses, ovals, circles and semicircles, a combination of shapes and lines.

In addition, there is a simple decor for door handles and decorative elements on the frame.

Developed modern production technologies make it possible to give the plastic a relief, transform smooth surfaces into concave or ribbed ones, make doors with convex, volumetric details and any kind of curved lines. The only drawback of the design delights is the high price.

Discreet, versatile, laconic design of plastic doors helps to successfully combine them with facades of any type, be it brick, stone, concrete or siding panels. It is a little more difficult to choose a combination with wood sheathing, but here doors with a finish that imitate the color and texture of natural wood come to the rescue.

Color solutions

A familiar and widespread phenomenon is metal-plastic doors of a light spectrum, from warm milky to cold signal white. White doors are most often diluted with glass with a glossy, mirrored, matte or stained glass surface.

The decoration of modern cottages and houses can be the most unexpected, so manufacturers did not limit themselves to white, and diluted the palette with alternative options. Among the most common are black and brown in different shades. As a rule, such doors are used as external doors and are complemented by decorative glass units with a reflective surface.

The palette of natural shades of bleached oak, light and dark walnut, mahogany, wenge, and other options found among wood products is close to them.

Plastic trim with imitation of veneer made of expensive wood species is very popular and looks especially good in the design of the facade of the house.

Does not exclude plastic and colored models. The use of acrylic and lamination with colored film makes it possible to choose a more colorful door leaf.

Views

Plastic doors are distinguished according to several criteria:

• Appointment. It is determined by the place of operation: entrance doors, to the balcony, to the loggia. For a balcony, doors with the ability to open them for ventilation are more suitable, a lightweight blind door with a lock is needed for a room, insulated doors with a wide profile and a protective outer coating are needed to enter the living space.
• Construction type. Rectangular single-leaf doors predominate, but double-leaf models with wings of different sizes and the same width are less common. In some cases, arched plastic doors are installed.

• Opening method. Swing, sliding, folding. The last two are more common in the performance of balcony doors. The entrance doors are opened with a swing method.
• The presence or absence of a metal profile.
• Profile location (vertical or horizontal).
• The presence or absence of a double-glazed window.
• With or without gateways.

Dimensions (edit)

The standard height and width of entrance doors is determined by the parameters of the doorway in typical residential buildings. Common dimensions of single-leaf doors to an apartment have overall dimensions of 980x2050 mm, 980x2100 and 880x2050 mm.

But single-leaf doors do not always fit into the dimensions of the opening. For example, in a private house or in a cottage, non-standard products are often required.

In this case, you should pay attention to one-and-a-half doors (one sash, more often the left one, will not open) or give preference to two-sash doors.

The sizes of one and a half are in the range of 1010-1550 mm in width and 2050-2370 mm in height. Double-leaf doors are indispensable in rooms with frequent transportation of bulky items, such as outbuildings or shops. They have the largest dimensions: 1910-1950 by 2370-2450 mm.

The thickness of the door depends on its "filling" and has no strict regulation. The thickness of the aluminum profile, the number of chambers in the sandwich panels, the presence of double-glazed windows for additional protection - all this affects the increase in the thickness of the product. Average indicators are from 90 to 120 millimeters.

Materials (edit)

All types of materials from which entrance doors are made have their own advantages and nuances.

Metal-plastic and fiberglass structures combine the positive qualities of different types of doors (wooden, steel, plastic), although they are lost against the background of some pretentious interiors and are inferior to some types in the degree of burglary resistance.

Most of the plastic entrance doors are made from polyvinyl chloride known as PVC. For increased strength, the plastic is reinforced with an aluminum profile. Together, the two layers make up the reinforced-plastic structure.

All types of plastic doors can include glass elements.

The glass insert gives them a less boring and austere look, and the double layer of double-glazed windows protects no worse than a "blind" door with solid plastic from the top to the bottom edge.

For finishing a one-piece door leaf made of metal-plastic, laminated panels of different colors are used: orange, green, purple, cherry, red and others.

How to choose?

The main criteria for "correct" entrance doors are reliability and aesthetics of appearance, which are often not able to help to choose a quality product. When evaluating doors, it is important to take into account many more nuances.

• Before buying, it is necessary to measure the doorway with millimeter accuracy. It is enough to measure the height at one point, and the width at least two.
• The door should be suitable for its purpose, depending on its location.
• The basis of the entire structure is not a door leaf, but a box or frame. Sagging of the door in the future will depend on its stability and reliability. The basic rule of choice is that the door frame should be thicker than the canvas.
• The thickness of the door leaf is of fundamental importance. The wider it is, the more inside the chambers, the thicker the insulation layer, which means there is less risk of noise entering the house, heat loss and freezing. In addition, a thick door with additional security elements is more resistant to burglary attempts.

• The door on the border with the street from the outside must be treated with a protective coating against burnout and moisture.
• One lock is good, two is better. Comprehensive protection will prevent intruders from breaking the door and entering the house.
• Hidden hinges benefit in several ways. Firstly, they are more difficult to break or remove from the hinges, and secondly, they look more neat and aesthetically pleasing.
• Platbands are an indispensable element in the design of the entrance door, and they must be chosen simultaneously with the canvas and the frame so that the dimensions and color match perfectly.
• The front door should be equipped with a peephole, which is at a height that is convenient for viewing. You should also pay attention to a chain or a more advanced mechanism that allows you to fix the door in a slightly open position. This is especially important if there are children in the house.

• Cheap doesn't mean bad, expensive doesn't mean good. This simple truth works 100% for plastic doors.
• Colors and decorative elements should overlap with the facade of the house from the outside and the interior of the hallway from the inside.
• For street doors, the presence of stiffeners and a metal profile is a prerequisite.
• The quality of the fittings determines its service life. It should not dangle, have sharp corners or unpresentable appearance.
• Knocking on the canvas and twisting the doorknob is not all. Studying technical documentation for compliance with GOST helps to avoid many problems with a low-quality product later.
• If in doubt, it is better to choose a product from trusted manufacturers.

Manufacturers review and reviews

The undisputed sales leaders among PVC products are Veka, Rehau, KBE.

Veka is of German origin, headquartered in Germany, but it has several Russian branches. Distinctive features of the products are quality, reliable protection, beautiful appearance, rather high price. In the line of products made of PVC profile, the minimum number of chambers is 3, the maximum number is 7, which provides good heat and noise insulation, and burglary resistance.

Technology does not last forever and requires maintenance, and this is what happened with our working gazelle. I had free time, so I took her to repair it myself.

Upon entering the workshop, I witnessed a heated argument over the phone. The man shouted into the phone and argued to his wife that there are no interior doors made of plastic.

I could not restrain myself and went up to him after he hung up.

He said that his wife was right, such "animals" exist in nature.

And today I want to acquaint you with them. Do you think they are as simple as doors in shopping malls? Let's check if this is so.

Interior plastic doors: advantages, types, how to choose

More recently, it was a real problem to purchase high-quality interior doors - they had to be ordered from a carpentry workshop and there were no similar products on the free sale at all.

Today the situation is radically opposite - in almost any large hardware store you can buy doors for every taste and color.

There are very, very many varieties of these products, and one of them is modern interior plastic doors, which appeared on the market, one might say, recently.

They will be discussed in this article, in which we will deal with their advantages and disadvantages, study the varieties and answer the question of how to choose interior doors made of plastic for the house?

Interior plastic doors: advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of modern plastic doors are quite a lot, and according to manufacturers and sellers, there are practically no shortcomings in them - so to speak, an ideal option for a house or apartment.

Is this really so is a moot point, and only time will clarify this situation - people themselves will figure it out empirically, and we will try to help them in this and consider the advantages and disadvantages of these doors. Let's start with the merits.

1. High performance characteristics.

Interior PVC doors do not deform during operation, do not break with strong impacts and are practically not injured.

We can agree with the first and second statements, since this door structure is based on an aluminum profile covered with a decorative layer of plastic.

But as for the third, it is quite controversial - the plastic itself is soft and scratches and even potholes easily remain on it.

Over time, the plastic becomes cloudy and takes on a nondescript appearance - even the protective and decorative laminated coating does not help get rid of this.

By the way, the laminate does not bear any protective properties - it is a decoration that allows you to give plastic doors a different color and texture.

2. Moisture resistance.

You won't even have to argue here - both aluminum and plastic are practically not subject to corrosion. Moreover, moisture does not affect them in any other way.

Such doors can be called an ideal option for rooms with high humidity - in houses and apartments, as a rule, these are bathrooms, toilets, boiler rooms, storage rooms and similar rooms.

3. They also attribute such a property as fire safety to plastic doors - they say that interior doors made of plastic are hardly flammable.

Any person who is somehow familiar with the properties of PVC plastic can argue with this statement - as they say, it burns with a clear flame and does it very quickly.

As for the doors, aluminum may be a deterrent here, but, to put it mildly, there is nothing as a protector against fire.

In general, such doors are on fire, and depending on the intensity of the fire, they may not even have an aluminum frame left from them.

4. Easy to operate.

We will not argue here - the smooth surface that PVC interior plastic doors have is very easy to clean from dust and dirt.

No matter how you decorate plastic doors, no matter what color and structure you give them, plastic still remains plastic and it is not able to bring anything but the coldness of office premises into the living space.

In addition, such doors look the same type and rectangular, which, again, determines their area of ​​application (offices and public buildings).

Summing up all of the above, we can only draw one conclusion - in principle, the doors are not bad, one might even say excellent and in some situations irreplaceable.

But, as they say, the option is not for a residential building or apartment - if you want a warm and cozy atmosphere, then look a little the other way (for example, towards wooden doors or at least MDF).

Varieties of interior plastic doors and their classification

By and large, plastic doors can be classified according to many criteria, and in this respect they are not much different from any other interior doors. If you deal with this issue in more detail, then you can draw up such a classification.

In principle, here you can see other differences, but these are, as they say, little things that do not affect the performance of this type of door.

Note!

Plastic door leaves can have both a standard rectangular design and an arched one.

For example, the internal filling can be made with different materials, the doors can be covered or not covered with a decorative laminate layer or differ in the profile and system of mechanisms - this must also be taken into account when choosing.

Two points to pay attention to when choosing plastic doors

There are two main points that determine the quality of interior plastic doors - this is the profile from which they are made and, undoubtedly, the fittings used. Let's consider these points in more detail.

Profile. In principle, no special profiles for doors of this type are developed - they use those from which the windows are made, so the first thing to pay attention to is the number of cameras.

In this situation, they affect the sound conductivity of the door block - the more there are, the better, but you shouldn't get too carried away here either.

By and large, in order to provide high-quality sound insulation, the simplest profile with three or four chambers is enough.

You also need to pay attention to the manufacturer of these products - profiles KBE, Thyssen, Rehau, Veka, in principle, can be called the best today.

Fittings, which include locks, hinges and handles - you must admit, it is unpleasant when these products fail on the doors, especially when it comes to the lock. There may be a lot of problems in such situations.

The correct choice of high-quality fittings will help to avoid this.

In conclusion, the topic about interior plastic doors, a few words about decorating methods. All kinds of textures and colors can be given to doors in two ways - painting and lamination.

Both methods of applying a decorative coating are carried out at the stage of making the door, and it is better to take care of the appearance of the product in advance - it is impossible to do this later.

Helpful advice!

With the help of painting and lamination, interior plastic doors can be given any texture and color.

Lamination is more expensive, but with this similar method, a less wide range of colors and shades is obtained. Painting allows you to make doors of any color according to the Ral catalog, but at the same time such a coating is less resistant to damage.

Is choice a problem or not? Each of us is faced with a CHOICE every minute. Whether it's the choice of work, car, or interior door.

How not to be mistaken? Correctly it is necessary to OWN THE INFORMATION!

I offer you comprehensive information on which interior door to choose! PLASTIC or WOODEN.

There is an opinion that plastic doors are used only in balcony structures. However, this has not been true for a long time.

The scope of application of plastic doors is much wider due to their unique qualities.

First of all, they are reliable and resistant to temperature loads. They are successfully exploited in the conditions of the Russian winter, even in cities such as Magadan, Krasnoyarsk or Irkutsk.

In addition, plastic windows are distinguished by a high level of sound insulation.

Note!

High-strength PVC retains its texture and does not deform even under the influence of very harsh external conditions.

High-strength PVC retains its texture and does not deform even under the influence of very harsh external conditions, and therefore is a completely suitable material for both entrance and interior doors.

Moisture resistant, plastic doors are the preferred option for bathroom, pool, sauna or kitchen installations. In this regard, they clearly outperform their wooden counterparts, especially when you consider that plastic can be easily washed in the most usual way.

This is the best option for any consumer, combining an affordable price and high performance.

Most of all, plastic doors are loved by the owners of private houses and cottages. Here, great opportunities open up for this type of door: an entrance to a house, a boiler room, a swimming pool, a basement, a garage, any utility rooms.

Also, plastic doors are perfect for installation in a winter garden. Models with a glass unit along the entire height look especially good here.

Plastic doors are made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC with the addition of additional chemicals. And compared to ordinary wooden doors, plastic ones have a number of advantages.

Plastic interior doors are fireproof and moisture resistant. The latter is especially important for wet rooms, because even in such conditions, it will not be subject to deformation. At the same time, despite their "origin", such doors fit organically into the interior.

A texture pattern is usually rolled onto the surface of plastic interior doors, and a decorative film "under a tree" is usually rolled over the surface.

So you can always choose the right texture. In addition, a plastic door is more economical than a wooden one.

It costs less, and is also an excellent protection against noise, because has good sound and heat insulation.

But, despite all its advantages, the plastic door is inferior to the wooden one in environmental friendliness.

Plastic, which contains various modifiers and stabilizers, can emit harmful fumes, and wood itself is an environmentally friendly material.

For the manufacture and decoration of door sets, metal, glass, plastic, wood, composite materials are used. With all the richness of choice of materials for the production of doors, wooden doors look the most impressive and expensive.

The natural beauty of pine, mahogany, oak, walnut, cherry, maple, anegri with a unique pattern and color testifies to the excellent taste and respectability of the owners.

In addition, wooden doors have low heat and sound conductivity, which will allow you to maintain your microclimate in the rooms and achieve acoustic comfort.

The wooden door is quite beautiful and comfortable, the tree can be painted, varnished, painted on, and even left untreated. This will depend on where you install it.

Wooden doors are:

1. Strength.
2. Thermal insulation.
3. Soundproofing.
4. Luxurious appearance.
5. Ecological cleanliness.

A wooden interior door is non-electrostatic, therefore it does not attract pollution like a plastic door. In the event of a fire, such a door does not emit poisonous gases.

Like a plastic door, a wooden door provides high thermal insulation and low sound conductivity.

Wooden interior doors made of solid wood have high strength, while their hollow and MDF “brothers” are compared with plastic ones in this characteristic.

The consequence of this can be stuffiness and high humidity in the room.

Summing up, we can say that: plastic doors are cheap, reliable and do not require maintenance. Wooden doors are more expensive, but they look more attractive and environmentally friendly.

When you say the word "plastic", most people associate only with plastic windows. However, plastic is used much more widely. Including for the production of plastic interior doors.

Doors of this type can be installed both in a large private house (swimming pool, garage, basement, boiler room) and in an ordinary apartment (balcony, interior, entrance, kitchen).

Plastic is good because there are few problems during its operation. Any dirt can be easily removed from its surface, it is more resistant to moisture.

In addition, now its appearance can be made the way you like best. For example, laminated wood. Or with glass inserts.

Helpful advice!

Often, plastic entrance doors are used not only in residential buildings, but also in administrative premises.

However, in this case, it is necessary to use a more powerful profile, designed for a very long service life, as well as for frequent "opening-closing" of doors.

In this matter, the fittings help, which, despite the long time of operation, is capable, as well as at the beginning, of ensuring a tight fit of the door to the opening, as well as its easy opening.

Now more and more plastic interior doors are being used.

And this is due not only to their good performance properties, but also the ability to give them the appearance that you like best.

You can choose plastic interior doors, plastic entrance doors or doors for a loggia or balcony.

They are suitable for any space and perfectly complement any interior. Most often, the installation of plastic entrance doors is carried out.

Now it has become actual to put special anti-burglary protection on such doors. Thus, your doors will protect you not only from capricious weather or unnecessary street noise, but also from unexpected guests.

With plastic doors, your winter garden will become even more beautiful and elegant.

You can decorate your door with a glass insert. In addition, the use of glass is not limited - it can be of any color, type, relief.

If you have a loggia or balcony, the installation of plastic doors in this case is the ideal solution. You can also use double-glazed windows for this, then your doors will give the room more sophistication, but also more light, as well as visually increase the space.

If you are thinking of installing a plastic door on a balcony or loggia, you can choose how best to do it:

• or fill only the upper part of the door with a glass unit, and everything else is a sandwich panel;
• or completely fill the space with a glass unit.

However, do not forget that in these cases the presence of mosquito nets is mandatory.

Plastic entrance doors also differ in the number of leaves - one-, two- and multi-leaf. You can even install a bell and an intercom on them.

Plastic complies with all requirements applicable to doors.

Plastic is a durable, reliable and environmentally friendly material. Such doors do not require close attention to themselves during operation, they are easy to care for.

PVC doors not only bring a sense of novelty and modernity, but can also become a worthy decorative element.

A variety of colors and shapes allows you to bring to life the most violent design ideas and fantasies with the help of plastic doors. Pay special attention to the choice of fittings, because in most cases it depends on it how easy it will be for you to "communicate" with your door.

Do you prefer comfort? Then choose plastic doors!

Plastic interior doors. What to look for when choosing.

Many, at the mention of plastic, immediately imagine plastic wall cladding or modern windows. But in fact, there are a large number of products made from this material.

Recently, when choosing a door, buyers pay attention to models made of plastic or, as it is also called in another way, polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Plastic doors - more and more firmly enter the everyday life of a person.

They are installed everywhere.

Both in residential premises (houses and summer cottages) and partially inhabited (garages, offices, gyms, hospitals).

Comparing PVC doors with doors made from other materials, there are a number of advantages. Excellent heat and sound insulation due to minimal clearances and high-quality rubber seals.

Profitability, production cost is much lower than wooden and glass doors. Another advantage is ease of maintenance - it is enough to wipe the doors with a cleaning solution. Plastic doors have good resistance to moisture and frost.

Gone are the days when there were just white doors. Now lamination technology allows you to match doors to any interior. You can create the texture of wood, stone.

You can make an insert from any glass: from ordinary transparent to colored embossed - this is indicated by the photos of plastic interior doors presented below.

Depending on the client's wishes, the number of doors can be from one to many. They are equipped with a bell, intercom, security lock. A distinctive feature of the doors is quality, lack of toxicity, ease of use.

The basis of any door made of polyvinyl chloride, so to speak, the frame is a metal profile. Its quality depends not only on reliability, but also on the service life of the door. Therefore, the choice of a profile should be taken very seriously.

A good profile will not be cheap, but you can always find the ideal one in terms of quality / price ratio.

Shop consultants or the Internet will help with this, where you can find information about manufacturers, read reviews and customer reviews about products and companies.

The interior of the room dictates certain conditions for the appearance of the door. Oak, walnut, cherry, what color will look in your room?

It is necessary to decide on this in advance, because painting or lamination of the door occurs immediately after the profile is made. All details should be clearly discussed with the manufacturer.

Note!

It will be very difficult to change the texture of an already finished door, as well as to paint it in a different color.

After choosing a profile and external design, it is necessary to decide what the door will be filled with. There are two options: plastic and glass. There is no significant difference in price between them.

The plastic can be made in the same texture and color as the base, so that everything is in one tone. The door with glass looks great, especially since there are many options.

If increased impact resistance of glass is required, the manufacturer will install triplex glass.

It is also necessary to think in advance where the door will open. Everything is clear with the front door, for the safety of housing, it should only open outward. But what to do with interior doors depends on the size of the housing.

If there is enough free space in the corridor, it is better to stop at the outer opening. If there is more space in the room - inside. Do not forget about the side of the door opening, which also depends on the architecture of the house.

Depending on the side chosen, there will be room for a handle and a lock.

For the door to serve for a long time, there is not enough high-quality profile, glass and plastic. Much depends on the fittings.

How to choose fittings.

When choosing door hardware, you need to pay attention to the simplicity and ease of use.

All mechanisms should work without effort, locks are easy to open and close.

Most of the plastic doors are installed in public buildings.

Hospitals, kindergartens, schools, utilities, shopping centers are visited by a large number of people, therefore, door fittings in such places are used under heavy loads.

To ensure the safety of the premises, locks with anti-burglary protection and warm strapping are installed.

Helpful advice!

For the door to serve for a long time, it is worth picking up reinforced hinges and handles.

For entrance doors, since they are installed deeper than interior doors, and to ensure greater safety, manufacturers provide reinforced amplifiers that are installed around the perimeter of the box.

If it is assumed that the front door will be exposed to increased exposure to the sun and moisture, in order for the profile to retain its shape, it is advisable to install special metal reinforcements.

Balcony doors are made according to the principle of plastic windows, with the same lock and fittings.

They always open into the room, and the handle is installed in the same direction. To make it convenient to close the door from the balcony, a latch or hook is installed.

The profile of interior doors differs from window doors, it has a wider sash, which makes it possible to attach handles on both sides, equip with reinforced hinges and door closers.

Apart from comfort and ease of use, plastic doors will perfectly fit into any interior.

If you plan to order an entrance or interior door made of plastic, then you do not need to go to the first manufacturer you come across and buy the most expensive structure, since it is important to choose the door profile and the type of filling of the canvas without haste.

Today we will tell you about the features of choosing plastic doors and share interesting secrets.

Business does not smile at romance, but dictates strict rules that say that the most expensive sale is the best deal. We will fill the information gap, because we have nothing to hide from our clients.

Door profile.

Today, profile systems from the countries of near and far abroad are widely represented on our market, so the choice is sufficient even with high demands.

First of all, pay attention to the brand of the profile manufacturer, as this is a direct hint if you want to choose a high-quality door.

Here we highlight the companies Rehau, Lider and KBE, which are famous for the quality and long service life of their products.

Taking the finished door, see if there are any height differences at the joints of the horizontal and vertical profiles, and also check the quality of grinding of the welded seams - they should not even have small burrs.

Door decoration and filling.

Lamination has great decorative possibilities, since you can order a door finish in marble or wood, which is difficult to achieve with a standard painting.

On the other hand, the painting holds better during operation and is less susceptible to damage from physical impact.

Sometimes decorative questions with the help of coloring individual parts of the door profile in a different tone, but here the main thing is not to overdo it and not to make a "clown's dressing room" out of the house or office.

By filling the door, we mean the installation of a double-glazed window or a solid plastic structure into the door leaf.

Contrary to skeptics, a double-glazed unit retains heat better than a solid plastic array, while today you can order a door with colored glass in a package or even a stained-glass window.

To prevent damage to the glass unit in the door, triplex is used for its glazing - this is a special glass with increased resistance to impacts.

Today, the installation of plastic entrance doors is no longer a surprise. Initially, these models were used for shops, public and administrative buildings.

Later they began to be installed on balconies and loggias. In the manufacture of products, the same technology was used as for the manufacture of plastic windows.

Owners of private houses install constructions made of modern material at the entrance and in the back rooms.

Entrance door arrangement - design with photo

Special PVC profiles are used for the entrance system. Each of them has stiffening ribs and 5 separate chambers filled with air.

Profiles can be made only of plastic or with the additional use of metal fittings. The individual elements of the door frame are connected together using metal components.

Modern technologies are able to give the frame any shape. In a private household, you can put an arched model, rectangular, trapezoidal or rounded.

Products are equipped with all the necessary elements: crossbars, hinges, door closers, locks. Thanks to the multi-locking mechanism, a high-quality fit to the door is ensured.

Design features, photo of the main elements of the entrance door made of plastic

The construction of a plastic door includes plastic elements:

• Box. This part is a profile frame. To strengthen and give additional rigidity, a steel frame with corners is used.
• Door leaf, which is a profile frame, which is closed on both sides with galvanized steel sheets. Between them there is a material for heat and sound insulation. Individual parts of the door can be made of glass: armored and triplex.
• Fittings. Products are equipped with crossbar locks that ensure reliable closure.
• Threshold. This frame element is made of aluminum or steel. Thresholds can be insulated or not.

Manufacturers produce models where the web is reinforced with steel inserts that prevent free access to folds or locks.

Heavy doors that provide ultra-reliable protection should be installed where appropriate.

They weigh more than 100 kg, and therefore it is necessary that the walls are strong enough to withstand the load.

Materials for filling the door leaf made of plastic

The surface of the door leaf can be deaf and transparent. In the first case, sandwich panels with steel sheets are used.

Transparent padding is basically a combination option. A double-glazed window is placed at the top, and the door leaf is made deaf at the bottom.

There are also models completely plastic and glass. Glass is used stained glass, colored, frosted and corrugated.

Now popular doors "under a tree" and a kind of other textures. The color scheme is represented by a huge number of solutions.

The door design can be different. There are single-leaf, double-leaf and transom models. For double-leaf doors, one leaf can be fixed, usually the smaller one.

Manufacturers produce sliding and swing doors from metal-plastic. The design assumes the use of a lever handle or an arc handle. Some products are equipped with door closers.

Decoration

Metal-plastic doors provide heat preservation and excellent sound insulation. But in terms of safety, such designs are inferior to high-quality metal doors.

In terms of aesthetics and the choice of design solutions, the structures look great with walls made of brick, stone or concrete. Reinforced plastic doors go well with siding trim.

If the walls are wooden, then the best option is a door that imitates wood. It is important that the product matches the color and texture of the facade.

Curvilinear structures are another compelling argument in favor of plastic doors. Arched models perfectly complement similar windows.

Glazing with stained glass makes the products unusual and original.

The construction industry is developing rapidly. Eco-friendly plastic products can be used safely.

When buying doors, pay attention to their quality and reputation of the manufacturer. It is on these two factors that security depends.
