If you need to buy a metal door for your apartment, then only the size of your wallet will be the defining principle in its selection. The existing varieties of input structures (if they do not have a specialized orientation) are made according to the same scheme: steel box, threshold and platbands; solid all -metal canvas 2 mm thick; a durable frame on which the canvas is sewn; stiffness ribs (their number can vary), they can also be horizontal, vertical or represent their combination; locks and locking mechanisms; the inner layer of (or several) insulation, which provides heat and sound insulation of the room; a layer of sealing around the entire perimeter (most often rubber); It increases the density of closing, prevents the occurrence of drafts and the penetration of smells from the outside; loops (on supporting bearings) fittings (eye, handle); additional elements (armored lines, closers, etc. D.); External facing canvas (material).
Accordingly, if you do not need banking or fireproof varieties, then the widest range of products of domestic and foreign manufacturers at your service. The main difference here will be only a way of its decorative design. It is this factor that is determining in the installation of the price of the product.
Choose a finish
Depending on the method of cladding, all input structures are divided into the following classes: basic (ideal for ordinary apartments); economy (models are exceptional simplicity); business (ideal for installation in offices); elites (luxurious design allows you to effectively decorate houses and cottages).
In order to opt for one or another option, you should know its strengths and weaknesses.
Powder color
Polymer spraying for the most part determines the technical and metal doors of the economy. It has increased resistance to all types of damage, which is why it is called “anti -vandal”. The presence of baked polymer powder on the iron surface makes it possible to resist both mechanical and chemical, and thermal damage. The simplicity of the technological process of spraying determines its low cost.
Vinilisk
This more modern solution was replaced by a less durable and unreliable dermantine. The preference of this type of decoration is given by residents of apartments located on the first floors. Viniliska serves as a great way to strengthen the thermal insulation properties of the door, however, its resistance to mechanical damage leaves much to be desired. The possibility of choosing coloring and decorative decoration method makes it possible to make the entrance to your housing as attractive as possible.
Laminate
The drawing of this multilayer material imitates the natural wood of valuable wood species. For different manufacturers, the number of layers varies. However, the upper in any case is protected by a special film capable of resisting moisture and possible damage. The low cost of the laminate makes it one of the most popular cladding options.
MDF panels
Even the most laconic steel doors of MDF are always distinguished by their solidity and thoroughness. Covered with high -quality paintwork and treated with antiseptic substances, they calmly tolerate the harmful effects of moisture, not allowing rot to destroy the internal structure. This option is the most expensive, but it also looks much more worthy and spectacular.
