Doors are not only a mandatory building structure that protects a living room from the cold and uninvited guests, but also an element of interior decoration. Until recently, they were mainly made of wood (in the old days they were strengthened with metal for strength). In the nineties, there was a general craze for metal doors, there was a competition for whom it is stronger. The last PVC doors appeared. What are their features?
PVC doors, like similar windows, are made of metal-plastic profile. Modern industrial technologies make it possible to produce such doors for various purposes, they can be balcony, entrance and interior. Just like windows, PVC doors have two to five chambers. The number of chambers affects noise and heat insulation.
The glass used for these structures is more durable than that used for glass windows. It can withstand heavy loads, since the operation of the door is significantly different from the operation of the windows. This glass is also resistant to mechanical stress. It can be transparent, stained glass, matte, with a pattern in the form of spraying, with a tinted film.
The profile angles in the PVC doors are further enhanced. The whole structure is single, double or multi-leaf. The canvases themselves can be of any color, with any external texture. Learned how to make doors that mimic an array of wood. Their size may also be different. It all depends on the wishes of the customer.
Modern production allows you to individually choose the size, color, drawing, accessories.
In practice, in most cases, PVC doors are used complete with windows. This is necessary for glazing a balcony aperture in apartments. PVC balcony doors in this case are part of the overall structure, made of the same material as the window. The whole structure meets the uniform requirements for design, sound and thermal conductivity.
PVC entrance doors are reinforced with stainless steel. They withstand low and high temperatures well, do not deform, do not lose their appearance, can successfully resist an attacker. The service life of such a product is several tens of years. One thing upsets - a door that meets all these characteristics is, well, very expensive. The price reaches one hundred and fifty thousand, but these are eternal doors. Although there are, of course, budget options. But in any case, when choosing, it is worth examining the warranty periods. They should be long enough, then there is a possibility that the door is of high quality.
Domestic manufacturers also offer PVC interior doors. Traditionally, canvases of this purpose are made from solid wood or chipboard. PVC doors were previously placed only in public places. Now everything has changed. Probably, entrepreneurs decided to expand the market and began to produce PVC interior doors. That's where there is an opportunity to roam fantasy. Plastic obediently imitates textured patterns of natural materials. It is advantageous to install them in rooms with high humidity, they do not deform.
There is one more condition on which depends on whether there will be problems during operation or not. Doors must be properly installed. It’s worth doing it yourself if you have certain skills.
