Entrance doors
The famous Russian proverb says – “My house is my fortress”. The first step in the construction of the fortress and achieving a sense of security is usually the installation of a reliable front door. To date, the entrance doors, the production of which is so diverse that buyers are lost in various versions. To facilitate this problem, you should clearly define the selection criteria.
When choosing the entrance doors for our houses and apartments, we pay attention to such important moments as reliability, durability, sound – and thermal insulation and, undoubtedly, respectability. No matter how strong and reliable the doors of our houses are, the aesthetic component is an equally important criterion for choosing. For the door is not only a protection against an unwanted invasion, but also the face, the business card of our house.
How to choose the right front door? What should you pay attention to? How not to get into a mess and not run into low -quality goods? First of all, I want to say that saving when choosing a door is not the best solution. First of all, the front door should fulfill its main function – ensuring safety. The material from which the door is made has the significance of the confrontation between physical strength. It is obvious that metal doors have an advantage over plastic and wooden in reliability, but are still not a one hundred percent guarantee of safety. Even the strongest doors will not protect you from housekeepers if the door lock turns out to be vulnerable. It is the choice of the castle that should be paid to special attention. The lock should be made of durable material, the presence of plastic or plastic parts is not allowed. It is often recommended to install two locks: cylinder and leaf.
The second criterion for choosing a door is its heat – and noise insulation. The door should become a reliable limiter between your house and the external environment, not miss either cold or extraneous noise. Pay attention to the presence of a double -circuit seal and effective insulation. The most preferred insulation is the foamyliretan, which is environmentally friendly and reliable material. The presence of decorative panels also contributes to the improvement of heat – and soundproofing characteristics of the doors.
The third criterion is the aesthetic view of the door. The front door is the face of your home, so do not forget about the external decoration. There are a lot of options: laminate, plastic, artificial leather, etc. D. It should be said that artificial skin and decorative panels do not differ in their practicality, t. To. they are easy enough to damage. Therefore, in the production of the entrance doors today, a powder-polymer coating is often used, which differs in its resistance to temperature changes and high humidity.
As for manufacturers, a simple qualification works here: imported doors and domestic doors. For the most part, the latter are significantly inferior as imported doors, which determines lower prices. However, among the goods of Russian manufacturers, you can find worthy options. The main thing is to remember that the front door should become not only the face of your house, but also a reliable defender from noise, cold and criminal encroachments.
