The Russian and foreign door designs that are sold here are not inferior to each other in the class, which is confirmed by numerous positive reviews about the products of Neva Doors.
If you are only going to visit one of the company’s branches in St. Petersburg, first decide for yourself what type of product you need. In the catalogs, buyers are presented with diverse models made of high quality materials.
Veneer Doors
These are wooden interior or entrance structures that look very expensive, since their appearance resembles a cut from a tree of valuable species. These products are based on low-cost lumber or chipboard (mainly from pine). The principle of manufacturing a veneered door is as follows: the board is glued with veneer on both sides, then the resulting structure is sanded and covered with a protective paint and varnish.
This technology is used in the manufacture of panel doors, which have not only a smooth, even surface, but also embossed. Veneered constructions of Neva Doors are safe from an environmental point of view, for their production only natural wood and special furniture glue are required. However, judging by the customer reviews of Neva Doors, veneer products are too whimsical to operate:
- It is important to maintain the appropriate temperature in the room;
- prevent an increase in humidity in the room;
- special care agents must be used to care for the veneered door.
If these recommendations are not followed, the wood begins to swell and exfoliate over time.
Laminated products from the company "Neva Doors"
Designs contain laminate or laminate, which is coated with a special synthetic substance that provides gloss and shine. The door leaf itself is made of a wooden frame, which is glued with two MDF panels, and inside is filled with a cellular corrugated cardboard or chipboard. The outer surface is lined with polyvinyl chloride film, which guarantees a long period of performance of decorative functions, but also protects the product from moisture.
Laminated constructions of the Neva Doors at 24 Dybenko, according to users, are in great demand due to the budget price in St. Petersburg. At the same time, buyers almost unanimously declare that the quality of the laminated doors was not affected. Many people think that affordable price is a seller’s ploy in order to sell low-quality goods by forcing them on the buyer. But judging by the reviews, Neva Doors sell laminated structures that meet a number of standards and technical requirements. In particular, for doors made of laminate or laminate, the thickness and properties of the film play a huge role. In this case, the shape of the doors can be diverse: flat, paneled, with many complex imitations.
In the Neva Doors branch on Veterans 109, there are constructions with ready-made openings for glazing - they are also popular among the population.
Stained glass doors
Such products include the inclusion in the design of glass manufactured using special technologies. The introduction of stained glass elements is also possible in sliding door systems, which helps to make a bright accent in the interior, decorate the room, fill it with the necessary amount of daylight. The Neva Doors stores have the most unusual varieties of stained glass and construction materials. Interior doors of this category have transparent glass inserts or massive textured elements. Doors made using one of the following stained glass techniques are in great demand:
- classic;
- Tiffany
- facet;
- Fusing
- film;
- filler;
- sandblasting;
- photo printing.
Sliding and folding sash designs
In addition to the classic swing type doors, Neva Doors consultants offer products that will help save home space. The principle of mounting the door structure is to isolate one room from another. Sliding type products are installed, as a rule, in rooms of small quadrature, with limited space or as an element of the partition wall for zoning the room.
Sliding systems from the Neva Doors consist of one or two wings. Doors are installed on special slats with rollers moving in a given direction parallel to the wall. The use of such a scheme guarantees the simplicity and elementary movement of the paintings. Designs of the sliding type "Neva Doors" are made of various materials, including wood, composites, glass. Sliding doors are considered safer than swing doors: the trajectory of the movement of the wings completely eliminates the risk of injury when unexpectedly opened. It is not surprising that products of this design are most often offered to customers with young children.
Folding doors resemble an accordion, consisting of pivotally connected narrow wings that rotate around a vertical axis when closing the system. Folding doors are not as popular as sliding doors. Based on the reviews of employees about the Neva Doors, the construction is bought by the owners of the premises with large doorways. A folding door, consisting of two parts, can only be purchased on request. At the request of the buyer, the sashes can be partially glazed.
Entrance systems "Neva Doors": which is better?
Choosing the front door, buyers are usually divided into two camps: some are sure that such a design should be only metal, while others consider a wooden product to be the preferred option. The company “Neva Doors”, taking into account the preferences of its customers, presented in the catalog both wooden and durable iron input systems. The company's specialists will easily deliver and complete the installation of the input structure, regardless of what material it is made of.
For those who cannot decide and make the right choice between a wooden and a metal door, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a brief comparative analysis of the two systems:
- Thermal conductivity. Metal is a powerful conductor of cold and heat, therefore, inside the structure is equipped with additional insulation materials. A tree, unlike iron, does not pass either high or low temperatures.
- Air conduction. No draft will pass through the iron structures, but a wooden door will let air through at the slightest crack.
- Strength. If attackers want to get into the house through the door, its material will not have much significance: the wooden canvas is soft, it can be cut through with an ax. The metal door is much stronger, and in order to damage it, you will need special appliances connected to the power supply network.
- Wear resistance. Here, both wood and metal products have their weak points: the first is afraid of water, therefore, with increased humidity in the room or on the street, it begins to rot; the second has an unlimited service life if it is not subject to corrosion. However, representatives of the Neva Doors company in reviews of input systems declare preliminary processing of the used paintings from the harmful effects of moisture.
- Fire protection. In this context, the undisputed winner is the metal structure. A wooden door can ignite even after impregnation with special protective compounds.
- Environmental friendliness. Both wood and iron are safe natural materials. Most often, the problem is associated with impregnation and paints harmful to human health. By the way, in reviews of the Neva Doors, input systems are noted by experts as hypoallergenic.
As can be seen from the comparative analysis, metal and wooden entrance doors have their pros and cons. The choice of product is determined by a number of conditions in each case. It is rather difficult for inexperienced customers not to make a mistake with the acquisition, therefore it is preferable to seek help from the company employees.
How to choose interior designs
The production of products sold by this company is carried out according to standardized technologies. Russian manufacturers use sawing raw materials from the forest lands of the Far East and Siberia in the working process. In the process of processing woodwork, Russian manufacturers are in no way inferior to their European counterparts.
The Neva Doors interior systems passed all the necessary laboratory tests, received the appropriate certificates and permits, which automatically allows them to be considered completely safe for health.
When choosing interior products, buyers are worried about a similar question, as when buying input systems: how not to lose money with the product so that it is inexpensive and of excellent quality? Most buyers who come to the Neva Doors stores (the opening hours of the company’s branches were noted at the beginning of the article) are already aware of the characteristics and parameters of the models. Most often, customers study the relevant resources in advance and re-read dozens of customer reviews who bought the product, therefore they have an idea of ​​the company's assortment in general terms. Let's try to find out which qualities of various materials for interior doors are considered advantages and which are disadvantages.
For example, laminated systems are made of pine, covered with a polyester film on both sides. Such doors are durable under mechanical stress, resistant to moisture, light damage. Laminated interior doors do not rub, do not scratch, retain their original color for a long time and are not picky in maintenance - you can wash the surface using any detergent. However, installing such a door in a bathroom or shower is undesirable. If we talk about the cost of laminated products, then, judging by the reviews, in the Neva Doors they are bought mainly with a limited budget. Meanwhile, there are also such clients, according to whom the price of door systems in this company is overstated.
Unlike laminated, veneered products are more expensive. In the stores “Neva Doors” (the addresses of the branches are indicated on the official website) a huge selection of wooden paintings consisting of pure wood of valuable coniferous species is presented. It is worth noting that high-quality veneered door structures emit an amazing aroma in the room. , () . . : , , .

What consumers say
About one of the largest branches of Neva Doors, at Prosveshcheniya 87, (telephone and work schedule may change, so it is advisable to check the information on the official website of the company before visiting the store) there are a lot of feedback from customers. Most of the company's customers are satisfied not only with the quality of the goods, but also with the services provided by the employees.

The Neva Doors branch on Grazhdansky 18 appeared one of the first in the chain of stores. Here, according to reviews, most often promotions are held, discounts on entrance and interior systems are provided. At the time of publication of the article, the average price of a laminated door leaf was about 2500 rubles, veneered ones cost customers several times more. In addition, in all stores "Neva Doors", the addresses of which can be viewed on the official website, campaigns are periodically held for holidays. It is especially beneficial to shop here for those who purchase several products at once - such customers are guaranteed free installation of all interior and entrance structures. In addition, the total purchase amount will be significantly reduced.
The predominant part of the Neva Doors assortment consists of structures made of natural and environmentally friendly materials, designed for a large consumer market segment. Demand for products of this company does not cease to grow, and, according to customers themselves, the reason for the popularity of products is its adequate price.
The opinion of employees about the employer
Reviews about the Neva Doors, which are left by company employees and customers, are contrasting. Those who were engaged in labor activities here are more often dissatisfied and indignantly share their impressions, warning other applicants from such mistakes. Despite the apparent external idyll in the work of branches, everything is not so cloudless, if you look in more detail.
At first glance, it seems that the management of Neva Doors makes quite standard requirements for candidates for the position of gauges, installers, consultants, managers, IT specialists, etc. Based on the vacancy announcement posted on the company’s website, one can start cooperation Who:
- has a higher education;
- possesses a sufficient level of technical literacy (work with drawings, catalogs);
- He is a confident user of PC programs, knows 1C 8.2;
- knows how to persuade, negotiate, competently communicate with customers.
At the same time, the employer himself promises a stable salary and registration under the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, guarantees the career prospects. If you believe the negative reviews about the “Neva Doors”, in practice things are different:
- Employees often have to deal with conflict situations caused by defective products, delays in shipment of goods, and product returns from customers.
- Consultants are forced to do the work of the cleaners. Management pays about 1000-2000 rubles. to salary for cleaning floors, ceilings, cleaning the surrounding area from cigarette butts, snow. Those who refuse to perform cleaning functions or perform them insufficiently, will be fined.
- If you believe the reviews of employees about the “Neva Door” in St. Petersburg, they have full financial responsibility, therefore, for any mistake in placing an order, a complaint and a claim from a client, employees pay from their wallets.
- The inability to go on vacation in the summer months due to the high staff turnover.
But the most significant minus, according to former and current employees, is the “gray” salary, which means only one thing - the employer does not pay any social contributions for the employees, and the period of employment in the company will not be included in the future retirement age. Initially, the promised bonuses and bonuses in reality turn out to be only promises for luring applicants. In the absence of a full-fledged advertising policy in the company, it is almost impossible to meet the planned sales figures, and this, in turn, negatively affects monthly earnings. Thus, the majority of company employees recommend that applicants bypass vacancies from Neva Doors.
