Doors are a very important part of any room. Without them, no interior thinks. But not all the hosts of the house during the repair provide enough attention to this element of the interior. Although it is necessary to have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat should turn out in the end, before the end of finishing works. So, in this article, consider the basic errors that are allowed when choosing and installing doors, as well as basic ways to avoid them.

How to avoid mistakes when choosing interior doors

Choosing a variety of doors

Consider all kinds of doors to determine which of them are most suitable for your room, and prevent errors when choosing an entrance door.

When choosing doors, first of all, it is important to determine their design. According to this criterion, the following types are distinguished:

1. Swing. This design is the most sought-after. Such doors have one-bed or bipoon canvases and always open only one way. According to the installation option, the right and left are distinguished. This should be considered when buying loops and handles. These designs are not suitable for small-dimensional apartments, because they require enough space to open.
2. Swinging. Such doors are opened in both directions. For their manufacture, the glass, mazonite, aluminum and plastic are most often used. These doors cannot provide sufficient sealing. Therefore, they are rarely used in residential apartments.
3. Sliding or door coupe. Are an ideal option for small apartments. They practically do not require a place to open and move on the rails installed on the walls. These guides can be located both from above or below and from above, and below. More aesthetical are the options installed only on the top guide, but during drafts they can easily swing. The most reliable and durable are options with two guides. These doors have one significant disadvantage, namely the slots between the door frame and the door itself. Because of these slots, foreign sounds, light and smells penetrate the room.
4. Folding. Such doors are another good option for small apartments. They consist of several panels, which are folded when opening. These structures are usually installed on the upper guide rails. In addition, there are connective loops, panels and a roller. These doors come off and closed silently and gently, which is achieved thanks to the bearings embedded in the rollers. For their fixation in one position in the design, stoppers are provided. The door-harmonica panels can be, both deaf and glazed. Of the disadvantages, you can note bad insulation from noise and heat. In addition, due to a large number of small parts, such doors are not durable.
5. Stable. This design consists of upper and lower halves. Each of them has its own loops and castle. Such doors are suitable if there are animals or small children in the house. They allow you to air the room with an open top sash when the bottom does not give anyone.

The right choice of material

The most important thing for any door - this is quality stuff, locks and fittings. Therefore it is better to choose a door from a trusted manufacturer. For example, the interior doors today are made from different materials. It is in this setting should look after decided on the type of construction. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages.

Interior doors today mainly made from the following materials:

1. Wood. The main advantage of wood doors is their durability, ecological compatibility and durability. The disadvantage is that they do not tolerate high humidity.
2. Masonite. The advantages of doors made of this material is its low weight, acceptable cost, environmentally friendly, thermal shock resistance, as well as attractive appearance. The main disadvantage is the low durability.
3. Plastic. The main advantages of plastic doors is their low price, high humidity resistance, ease of maintenance, and excellent acoustic insulation and thermal insulation. But the temperature drops they suffer badly.
4. Aluminum. The material itself is safe. He is not subject to deformation and is able to maintain the initial properties for a long enough time. Such doors can bring light and delicate flavors. Especially in the flat, made in the style of hi-tech.
5. Glass. This material is now learned how to make a sufficiently strong. Therefore, out of it all often made interior doors. There are three types of glass: laminated glass, tempered glass and matolyuks. Doors made of glass of any visually expand the space, the room seem more spacious than once. In addition, these doors hygienic and durable. They were easy to care for.

Select the method of decorating

Doors still different mode of decorative finishes. From this it depends largely on their final cost. Today, on this criterion, the following types of doors:

1. Laminate. Lamination is masonite, wood, plastic and aluminum. Lamination techniques, there are only two. Cheaper and less quality is - laminate paper. Better quality - fiberglass laminate.
2. Veneered. Veneer called decorative coating, which can be reconstructed, and made of natural growing hardwood species.
3. Painted. In this case, the doors are usually painted with tinted antiseptics. This coating is able to protect them from damage to fungi and direct sunlight. It will quickly dry and not toxic. For coloring it is allowed to use oil and alkyd paints, as well as the veil.

Tips and recommendations

Today, under the word, a wooden array often understand not only a piece of natural wood, but also the part that is obtained by gluing the individual parts of the wooden elements. The glued wooden array makes the process of making doors cheaper. At the same time, the composition and properties of the finish coating are of great importance. The quality of such doors may be different, and it is far from such as the door from a solid piece. Pay attention to this when choosing.

The design of full-scale doors is filled with chipboard or MDF. Due to this, their strength and noise insulation increases. At the same time, they are sufficiently heavy. The door frame with the hollow blade is made of a thin timber of coniferous rocks. A high-strength cardboard is used as a filler. From above, the design of MDF is pasted on the design, after which the doors are painted.

There are still combined door canvases. Filling such doors is a combination of MDF, a chipboard and an array of natural wood. From above, such a canvas is covered with veneer from valuable trees. After special processing, such doors become very wear-resistant. These all parameters should be considered when choosing doors to prevent errors.

Often are mistaken when choosing the door size. So, it is customary to distinguish between two doors standard:

• Eurostandard - 2.1 meters doors height.
• Russian standard - 2 meters doors height.

In both standards, the width varies from 60 to 90 centimeters. Usually, with a renovation, the doors put on the European standard. True, they can be put only if the height of the room is above 3 meters and at the same time it is quite spacious.

For some rooms, it is difficult to choose the doors. In particular, it concerns some offices, school classes and doctors' accounts. Doors for such premises should have noise insulation and be fairly refractory to protect the room from direct fire and smoke, at least for the first 30 minutes. For noise reductions, they are made with various facilities of the canvas. For example, a special wool or perforated chipboard is used as a placeholder. In addition, such doors need a rubber threshold.

You need to choose the doors carefully. The most expensive today are doors from the wood massif, which has passed special processing. It is still the most high-quality and expensive italian doors. The cost largely depends on the tree breed. Chipboard and MDF doors are cheaper. The most inexpensive doors are counted with cellular filling. You can make the door to order, but in this case the canvas, most likely it will cost you more. Increase the price can any glass stained glass window. In any case, it is better to choose the door from the proven brand time.

How to avoid basic errors when installing interior doors

There are several common mistakes that should learn before installing interroom doors.

Errors when choosing a wizard

Many misunderstandings can be avoided, entrusto the work to the master, but here you can make a mistake if you do not approach this case. Do not start searching the wizard with advertising in the newspaper. Better ask the friends and acquaintances. Perhaps they know an intelligent specialist. In this case, you can look at his work and make sure in the level of his professionalism in advance. If you can not advise anyone, then read the reviews.

Errors in the preparation of the place to install doors

1. Before starting work, it is necessary to analyze the installation site of the door. Find out at the joiners and builders of the subtlety of the device door openings and floors. So, for example, in order to be seen by the door block with the platbands, then when it is installed, the floor height should be taken into account.
2. If you plan to install sliding doors, then you should know that the main load falls on the upper guide. Therefore, it is necessary to provide reliable fixing. If not to do this, then the door at some point with her can just break away.
3. In order to be able to install a door frame without thresholds, you should make sure that the floor level over the entire surface is smooth. In this case, it is also necessary to take into account that with different levels of gender in adjacent rooms it is necessary that the seam of the floor covering is located in the middle of the doorway. Otherwise, if you close the door, part of the adjacent room will be visible. That this does not happen, you should coordinate the work of the joiner, builders and the master, which is engaged in laying floors.
4. When difference in the levels in adjacent rooms, between which the door is put, to hide the transition, the door box should be put with a threshold. In order for the threshold less to hurt legs, it can be made from a quarter. True, you will lose in tightness. It is important that the wall covering reaches the very edge of the doorway. Only so the widths of the platbands are enough for overlapping. If you are not sure how to put the door in a particular place, it is better to consult a specialist.

Errors when installing the canvas

1. One of the most important processes when installing the door leaf is the door hitch. From the quality of this work, the period for further operation of the door depends largely. If such work is performed bad, it can lead to premature wear of door locks and loops. For example, lights and stresses will appear. Because of them, the mounting foam will be discharged, with which the box is held in the opening.
2. It is important that the hinges that are hung on the door correspond to the load. Each loop should sit in a sinus tight. Today they are often made using a hand mill, which increases their reliability.
3. If the door is installed qualitatively, it will be closed without difficulty. She should neither spring nor press. It is better to immediately make the edge of the canvas at an angle less than 90 degrees. If the door was purchased in the store, then it is necessary that the gap between the door frame and the web can be correct. If the cloth is installed correctly, it should not touch the box. To make sure that you can take a piece of paper and spend it between the door and the box. If everything is done correctly, then this leaflet must pass without effort.
4. When making a sealer for the groove of the door frame, only high-quality rubber should be used. Therefore, it is better not to use compactors based on adhesive tape. Completed from such a material, it will quickly become unsuitable for use.
5. Do not purchase door boxes of factory production. The fact is that they are often manufactured from the wood of the third grade, which is too thin and does not inspire confidence. Therefore, they are best to make custom in carpentry workshops.
6. Installation of doors in the doorway is best trusted by a specialist. After all, this work is not as simple as it may seem. The correct installation of the door depends not only on the quality of the canvas, but also on how correctly these works are made.
7. Any door blocks should be installed strictly vertically. To do this, it is best to use a construction level and a plumb. If this is not done, then the doors during operation will be independently closed or open depending on their tilt. To properly install the door frame, it should first be exposed, after which the loop side is fixed and the vertical installation is checked. If the door is installed correctly, then the canvas should be uniformly throughout the perimeter of the box. When it is disclosed and exhibited in terms of the level, you should fill out the opening using the mounting foam. To the extension does not lend to the deformation of the box, you need to set the struts. Instead, between the box and the door itself you can insert cardboard strips width 2-3 millimeters.

Errors when buying a mounting foam

Do not save on the mounting foam. Professional high-quality material does not cause strain at the door frame. Do not spoil the appearance of anchors and screws. Due to the fact that the foam is expanding, with the right approach, only it is enough to reliably fix the box. When it dries, surplus should be removed using a knife. When installing a platband at the joints there should be no gaps. To avoid their appearance, punching the platbands should be with the help of a pneumatic pistol.

How to avoid errors when choosing an entrance door

The preservation of the property of your home depends on the right choice of doors in the apartment. Today, the demand for metal entrance doors is large enough. Therefore, there is a fairly large selection of doors of different quality and price. To make it easier to decide on the choice, you should know several uncomplicated rules.

1. For example, it is important that the door frame is tightly welded to the wall with the help of pins. At the same time, a minimum clearance must be present between the design of the attachment and the iron door.
2. Attention should be paid to the door eye overview angle. It must be wide enough.
3. It is important that the main safety standards inserted when installing the door.
4. The thickness of the entrance door should be at least 40 millimeters, including a layer of sound insulation and thermal insulation. The thickness of the casing layer must be at least 2 millimeters. At the same time, anti-low pins should be welded to the canvas. It is important that not only the canvas, but also the loops were steel.
5. The metal entrance door must be equipped with two battle-type beglel safes and internal casing.
6. It is also important that the door has as few rigid ribs as possible. The optimal amount is the two ribs - horizontal and vertical.
7. The door lock should be equipped with at least two anchor anti-burglar pins.
8. In independence from the material, the entrance doors should provide protection against the use of rough power, i.e. The door must have a sufficient margin of safety.
9. The thermal insulation of the door should interfere with the loss of heat from the apartment, and due to sound insulation in the room should not penetrate outsider noise. It is important to check before buying.
10. In addition, the door should look good and not to have visual defects. After all, many are judged by the tenants.
11. The durability of the door directly depends on the material from which it is made. Most often, steel, wood or combined combination of these materials are used for this purpose.
12. Consider what is the design of a good steel door. So, in a high-quality steel door, the front side is made only from a solid metal sheet. No welds should not be.
13. In the design of the door must be attended by platbands that close the slit between the doorway and the box.
14. Very important thickness of metal sheets and the composition of steel. Imported producers today mainly offer doors from lightweight alloy steel with a sheet thickness of 1-1.5 millimeters. Some domestic producers make doors from Kalena steel with a thickness of a sheet of 3-4 millimeters. The lack of latter is their high weight. For an apartment in a residential building, such a door is not needed.
15. Most of all power loads fall on the canvas, but on the door frame. Therefore, it is precisely the most important element of the design. This design must be strong enough.
16. An important part of the castle is the Rigel, which should be at least four from the castle and one below and on top. Most often, the riglels are driven by turning the key or handle.
17. Also important elements of the entrance doors are door hinges. To make it impossible to cut with a grinder and knock down a sledgehammer, special anti-disclosure pins, called tongues or fingers, are installed in the wall through the door frame. If they are mounted, the doors will not be removed, even if the loops are shot down.
18. It is desirable that a rubber gasket is installed on the perimeter. If the entrance is an unpleasant smell, for example, the smell of tobacco smoke, then thanks to such a gasket, it will not fall into the apartment.

Common Errors when installing input doors

Metal canvases are most often installed as the entrance doors. Their installation has many nuances. For example, you need to prevent common errors with which we will now meet.

Errors in preparing for installation

Even at the order decoration, such characteristics as dimensions, weight and design features should be taken into account. For example, if the door is put in the opening of the brick wall, then before installing the box itself, you should first strengthen the doorway. For this purpose, a metal frame is usually placed, which must be prefablished to the concrete slab coil. If you do not know if you need such work, then you should call the measurer, which should report them.

If some work is planned in the room, which makes it necessary to report this to the master.

Mounting errors

1. The most important thing is to prevent the installation of the door frame and the door itself with distortion. It does not matter what the geometric accuracy of the doorway. Be sure to use the laser level during work to align the box in the horizontal and vertical plane. In addition, it is important to carefully clean the landing places from irregularities and influx. These flaws interfere with the correct installation of entrance doors. The accuracy of the level of level is especially important for heavy metal doors. After all, they are much faster than the consequences of poor-quality installation.
2. In the posts of panel houses there are fittings, into which the door installation wizards fall when drilling holes for anchor bolts. Because of this depth of their attachment may not be enough for high-quality installation. To prevent this, it is best to use metal thrust that allow you to shift the drilling point further deep into the concrete. With the help of them, you can choose any elongation of fastening from the edge of the wall.
3. If the door is installed correctly, it even if there is a sealer to close quite easily. When closing doors, the canvas should not touch the door frame and thereby cause friction of the riglels. If when you click on the door handle, when the door is closed, there is a small backlash, it says that the canvas was installed correctly. In this case, the riglee moves enough freely and they do not encourage anything.
4. If the doorway is a curve, then the slots between the door frame and the wall usually appear. After installation, check the locks. They should easily open and close the same for all turns. Also, you should look at the door pepper. Through it should be viewed the viewing angle specified in the documentation. If you have not installed the doors on your own, then after checking all these nuances you can sign the act of work performed. After that, the installers must give you a warranty card.
5. At least for the sake of this warranty coupon should not be engaged in installing doors with their own hands. Moreover, each manufacturer can have its own installation technology. And you can hardly know them all, even if there is experience in this matter. Even if you allow a small mistake, it can lead to a rapid door to out.
