Choosing an interior door is not so easy. The offered market is huge. Before making an aesthetic decision, you should also familiarize yourself with the technical details of the door.
Interior doors are made of wood and wood materials. Doors and frames can be made of wooden profiles or MDF panels. Honeycomb inserts or chipboard inserts are used as a filler. In the first case, the door is much easier. Filling the chipboard door makes it more stable and durable. The outer finish of the canvas is made of HDF boards (high-density fiberboard) with a thickness of 3 or 4 mm, which can be varnished or covered with a decorative film or laminate. The most noble finish is natural veneer covered with varnish. Such a wide range of finishing technologies allows you to get an almost unlimited palette of colors and patterns of interior doors.
Convenient door sizes
The main width of the interior door is 80 cm. This is a convenient size that allows you to freely use the passage. Any piece of furniture can be easily brought in through such a wide opening. It is also possible to find wider doors, the dimensions of which are 90, 100 or even 110 cm. Such doors are often used at the entrance to a house or apartment. Sometimes it is possible to use even narrower doors with a width of 60 or 70 cm. Narrow doors can be successfully used in wardrobes, lockers, pantries and other utility rooms.
The standard height of the door is about 200 cm. An opening of 80 x 200 cm will ensure comfortable movement between rooms. Doors with different heights are offered, for example, 1983, 2043, 2110 or 2240 mm.
When choosing the size of the door, you should take into account the size of the room. Proportionately large doors will look good in today's fashionable tall and spacious interiors.
The most frequently used solution is an overhead door. In this case, the edge of the leaf has a recess, the wider part of which covers the contact of the door with the frame. A door with a hinged fastening always protrudes slightly beyond the frame and wall. Their advantage is that they are denser, better isolated from noise. The surface of the leaf without a fold has a straight cut. In the closed state, the sash enters the opening and faces the frame. Looking at such a door, you can see the gap around the contact of the leaf and the frame.
Hidden or visible loops
To emphasize modernity, purity of lines and simplicity of execution, it is possible to use hidden doors and built-in hinges, i.e. sashes and frames hidden in the inner edges. To emphasize the visual effect, such doors can be equipped with a small simple handle.
Much more often, however, doors with hinges visible on the edge of the leaf and on the frame are used. Depending on the size and weight, the doors have 2 or 3 hinges. With very high sashes, up to 4 hinges may be required.
Finishing interior doors
The main decoration of the door is the plane of the leaf. It can have a flat profiled surface or consist of several panels with a separate upper part. The most popular decoration are transparent, matte or colored glass inserts. Alternatives are also metal applications of various structures, for example, glossy, polished, matte or polished.
Door accessories
When buying a door, it is also necessary to choose a handle or another type of opening. It is important that the door has a lock. In interior doors, this is a rare solution, with the exception of bathroom doors. In the latter case, the type of ventilation holes, which can have the form of small round holes or a wider gap, is also important.
