It is impossible to imagine the repairs of the apartment completed if new interior doors are not installed. What possible defects do you need to know? How to prevent mistakes, choosing doors?
When choosing an interior door, it is recommended to follow the two basic rules. Firstly, such a door should be flawless from the point of view of its functionality and, secondly, which is no less important, it should be in harmony with the design of the interior of the room.
Door testing
First of all, ask the seller what material the door is made of. The best option is the door, in the manufacture of which only natural and environmentally friendly materials were used, for example, a natural veneer or an array of wood. The surface of the door should be polished and smooth to the touch. Drink slightly with a fingernail over the door surface.
The absence of a trace will mean that the varnish covering the door is strong. This coating and after many years will look like new.
If the door is muddy, dirty, unevenly painted, and the texture of wood is not visible, then it is better not to buy such a product. In this case, the manufacturer most likely applied tinting varnish to hide wood processing defects.
When going to buy the door, don’t forget to take a roulette with you
It will come in handy to measure the distance between the angles of the door diagonally. If the product is of high quality, then the difference in diagonals should not be more than 1 mm.
Be sure to inspect the door from the sides. It should have a perfectly even look. If there are bends, then after some time there will be even more curvature.
Pass on the upper and side ends with your palm. If you felt burrs, then this means that the processing of the ends is performed poorly. This may indicate that the wood is not enough dried, and over time this door will “lead”, the varnish will peel, and the veneer will peel off.
Pay attention to the door baguette
In places of connection, gratings and framework there should not be clearances, cracks or overflows.
The door with glass
Choosing a door with glass, be careful. Shake the door slightly. If rattling is heard, then the glass is poorly installed. In the future, such glass can easily break even from a non -impact blow. If oily dirty spots are found on the glass, then you will not be able to wash them after installing the doors. The ideal cleanliness of matte glass can be achieved only after washing it at special equipment immediately after processing. Ask managers what kind of seal is used to fasten the glass. Sometimes, trying to reduce the cost, manufacturers use cheap PVC seals.
They differ from more expensive and high -quality silicone in that they distinguish toxic evaporates into the air, and over time, dry out and crack. Even the color of PVC seals changes, which gradually acquires yellowness and thoroughly spoils the design of the door.
Now modern doors are delivered with L-box and platbands, which, when installed, are easily adjusted by the dimensions of the wall, without requiring fitting, and their fastening is complete without nails and hammer. The door box must be equipped with a seal.
Conclusion
A good and high -quality door will last at least 10 years. Always choose doors exclusively from natural materials processed with high -quality varnish. An attempt to save will lead to the fact that the door, most likely, will have to be installed again.
