Along with wooden interior doors, plastic ones are also available for sale today. Like any other product, they have both advantages and disadvantages. This and much more regarding plastic doors will be discussed below.

Installation of plastic interior doors

The design of a plastic, or rather metal-plastic, door, like a wooden one, has a frame and a door leaf. The latter consists of a frame and filling. The frame and door frame are made of galvanized steel profile enclosed in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shell.

PVC door structure diagram: 1 - door frame; 2 - canvas; 3 - hinge; 4 - glazing; 5 - opaque filling

The fabric is filled with glass or a plastic “sandwich”, consisting of two sheets of PVC and a polyurethane foam layer between them.

Door decoration is done in two ways:

Plastic interior doors have the following advantages:

Resistance to changes in temperature and humidity conditions. At any value of relative humidity, a plastic door will not dry out or swell like a wooden one.
Moisture resistance. All elements that make up a plastic door do not rot or corrode, so they are not afraid of contact with water.
Easy to care for. Moisture resistance, coupled with the inherent smoothness of plastic, allows plastic doors to be cleaned of dirt.
Impact resistance. PVC is plastic, therefore, when struck, pieces do not break off from it, like wood.
Light weight. A solid plastic door of standard sizes with fittings weighs 4–5 kg, while a wooden door with the same parameters weighs from 25 to 40 kg.

There are also disadvantages:

Plastic is a soft material and therefore easy to scratch.
A PVC door loses its attractive appearance over time due to scratches and natural aging of the plastic.
PVC, like all polymers, burns with copious amounts of toxic smoke. Various fire-fighting additives only slightly delay ignition, and even plastic that has not caught fire is protected from the effects high temperature it still smokes.
PVC gases, that is, it emits harmful gaseous substances - vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate. At room temperature the concentration of evaporation is much lower than the maximum permissible, but under heating conditions it increases sharply.
Due to the design features, the threshold is a mandatory element.

Where are interior plastic doors used?

PVC doors with their cold, unnatural shine do not fit into a living space: wooden doors are more appropriate here. The exception is bathrooms with their inherent high humidity.

But for public buildings, such as hospitals, offices, various institutions, plastic doors - perfect solution. Even in high-traffic areas, the product is easy to keep clean; thanks to its plasticity, it can easily withstand frequent openings and accidental impacts. Plastic doors are indispensable in rooms with high humidity- swimming pools, baths, saunas.

Plastic doors can be installed between the dressing room and the wash room, rest room - the exception is the entrance to the steam room

But they cannot be installed directly in the steam room - as mentioned above, thermal decomposition occurs in PVC when heated, accompanied by the release of harmful gases.

Types of plastic doors

Metal-plastic doors are divided into several types according to the following design features:

number of cameras;
type of filling;
form;
opening method;
number of doors.

Number of cameras in profile

The aluminum profile in the frame and sash frame is divided into several chambers by longitudinal partitions. The more there are, the higher the noise absorption coefficient of the door. But the cost of the product also increases. Experience shows that the optimal profile is with 3 - 4 cameras.

Inexpensive plastic doors have single- or double-glazed windows installed

With a larger number of them, there is a significant increase in the price of the product, and the noise insulation increases very little.

Fill type

Plastic doors can be:

Along with ordinary glass, safe types are used:

triplex: double-layer glass with a polymer film inside that holds the fragments in place when cracking;
hardened: it breaks not into large, but into small fragments with blunt edges.

The safest doors are those equipped with transparent polycarbonate instead of glass. But such an insert becomes cloudy over time and is easily scratched.

Form

Metal-plastic doors are manufactured in two versions:

Arched plastic doors look less elegant than wooden ones because top bar bends segmentally. Several cuts are made in the profile, so that after bending it is not a curved, but a polygonal arch.

Opening method

Based on this criterion, PVC doors are divided into:

swing;

rotary;

sliding;

folding (accordions)

Swing

The most common option: the canvas is suspended on hinges and rotates around a vertical axis.

When closed, the leaf of a swing door with a rebate rests against the projection of the frame

There are two subspecies:

Pendulum type doors are good for the following:

do not delay the flow of people, therefore they are suitable for places with high traffic;
they can be easily opened by a person with busy hands, which is important for warehouses and shops.

But swing doors, unlike swing doors, do not provide sound and heat insulation.

General disadvantage swing doors is that in the open position they block the space near the opening. In small rooms this can create inconvenience.

Rotary

The canvas also rotates, but the axis of rotation runs not along its edge, but in the center.

The rotation axis of the swing door is located in the center of its short side

Advantage: the space next to the opening is not blocked when the door is opened.

Flaws:

a wide opening is required;
To bring furniture into the room, the door has to be removed.

Sliding (sliding)

Canvas sliding doors moves to the side. To do this, instead of hinges, it is equipped with rollers that roll along guides attached to the floor and ceiling. This opening method is suitable for small rooms, since it allows you to install, for example, a closet or a hanger next to the opening. And if the door opens into a narrow corridor, then when opened it will not block it.

Sliding doors have a low degree of sound and heat insulation, so they are not suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and toilets.

But sliding doors do not close as tightly as swing doors with a rebate, and therefore do not provide complete protection from noise and drafts.

Sliding doors are divided into the following types:

Number of sashes

According to the number of leaves, plastic doors are divided into:

single-leaf;
bivalve.

Sliding doors, as mentioned, can also be multi-leaf.

There is a rare type of plastic door in which fiberglass is used instead of PVC. This material is much stronger, but it also costs significantly more, which is why fiberglass doors have not yet become popular.

Manufacturing of plastic doors

List of main stages production process looks like that:

It is impossible to make a plastic door at home, even if you have ready-made steel and PVC profiles, since this requires, as has been shown, complex and expensive equipment.

Special equipment is used to produce plastic doors

Installation and operation of plastic interior doors

Let's look at the installation procedure using the example of a swing structure. Plastic doors are delivered from the production site assembled, that is, with the door leaf already installed in the frame. Only the lock cylinder and handle are removed, otherwise the door may be damaged during transportation.

Installation is performed in the following order:

Special wedges are placed on the floor in the opening and then a door with a threshold is installed on them. You can make your own wedges from wood or buy ready-made plastic ones.
Having installed the door in a vertical position (roughly), drive the same wedges into the mounting gap on top and on the sides of the frame, fixing it. You need to act carefully and with moderate force, otherwise you can deform the structure or scratch the plastic.
By controlling the position of the door with a level or plumb line, it is now accurately placed in a strictly vertical position. To do this, tap the wedges with a rubber hammer.
The level may give an error, so the correct installation is also checked in this way: open the canvas to 30 0 and release, then repeat the check for angles of 45 and 60 0. A correctly installed door remains motionless in each case. If, under its own weight, it tends to close or open, it means that the structure is installed with a deviation from the vertical.
The door position is controlled in three door leaf positions - 0, 45 and 60 degrees
Markings are applied to the inside of the box posts and then holes for fasteners are drilled along it using a metal drill. The distance between the holes is 150–200 mm.
Re-equip a drill or hammer drill with a concrete drill and use it to make notches at the ends of the wall through the holes drilled in the box.
A concrete drill is used to drill holes.
Remove the door from the opening and, using a larger concrete drill, drill holes in the wall at the notches for the dowel sleeves.
Install the sleeves into the holes.
Return the door to its place and screw it to the wall with dowels. The fasteners are screwed in effortlessly so as not to deform the door frame.
The door frame is screwed to the wall using a screwdriver
The protruding parts of the wedges are cut off with a hacksaw.
The installation gap between the box and the wall is filled with mounting foam (polyurethane foam sealant). You need to apply the composition little by little, since when it dries, it greatly increases in volume and develops significant pressure on the door.
The voids formed along the contour of the door frame are filled with polyurethane foam.
Use a knife to cut off the dried foam protruding from the gap.
Remove the protective film from the profile.
Screw the platbands.
Install the lock face and handle.

Operating rules

Proper operation of plastic doors implies the following:

Accessories for interior plastic doors

Several types of fittings are used in the design of metal-plastic doors.

Loops

The door leaf is attached to three hinges: two are attached to the top part, one to the bottom.

The hinges consist of two main parts, which are attached to the door leaf and frame

The loop consists of the following elements:

part attached to the box (contains fastening pins);
part attached to the canvas (contains a metal tab);
spacer sleeve (material - Teflon);
fastener

The loop parameters are:

Width. Varies from 90 to 110 mm. Selected in accordance with the width of the profile from which the door is made.
Maximum permissible load. The narrowest hinges are designed for a load of 80 kg, the widest - for 160 kg.

Hinges for plastic doors are available in a variety of designs and, in addition to the main parameters, may differ:

material;
design;
method of fastening;
possibility of adjustment.

Locks and latches

Metal-plastic doors are equipped with the following types of mortise locks:

Simple single point lock. It holds the door by sliding one narrow bolt into the strike plate. The locking mechanism is cylinder, with the ability to open with a key on both sides. For interior doors this is the most common option.
Mechanical locks are most often used for interior doors.
Rail multi-point lock. They are equipped with the doors of rooms for storing valuables. Crossbars ranging from 3 to 7 pieces are installed along the entire height of the door. The most reliable is the anti-burglary locking mechanism.
Invisible castle. It does not have a keyhole or other external elements. The crossbar is driven by an electrical device via a radio signal from a remote control.
Electromagnetic and electromechanical locks. Installed in rooms with increased safety requirements. They are opened remotely by a security guard using a special remote control to which they are connected by wires.
Electromagnetic locks can be opened remotely from the command panel

The most reliable locks are those with a body made of special high-strength steel subjected to high-temperature treatment (hardened).

Latches

If a lock is not needed, a latch is installed instead. Two types of products are used:

mechanical: equipped with a spring-loaded ball or cylinder that fits into the strike plate when closing;
magnetic.

Mechanical latches are available with the ability to lock: to do this, you need to turn the small handle on one side. If you have children in the house, you should buy a model with a slot on the back side, into which you can unlock the latch by inserting a coin or other thin object. This is important because young children sometimes turn the lock handle out of curiosity, but then cannot figure out how to open it again.

Pens

The following types of handles are installed on plastic doors:

Rotary knobs are divided into two types:

Push. They look like a horizontal lever that you need to press to open the door. This can be easily done even with busy hands, which is why plastic interior doors are most often equipped with push fittings. Disadvantage - it can get caught on clothes.
Handles in the form of a lever located horizontally are convenient to use
Knob handles. Products in the form of a ball or cone. It is impossible to get caught on such a handle, but it is more difficult to open it, since this requires clasping the handle with your hand. Because of this, they are mainly installed on doors that are opened relatively rarely.
The knob handle can be equipped with a lock

Of the rotary handles, the most reliable are those in which both parts, in addition to being attached to the blade, are also tied together with a steel tie. If this part is missing or forgotten to install, the handle may soon become loose.

Handles are made from aluminum, various alloys containing it, including zinc-aluminum-copper (ZAM alloy), and brass. The last option is the most reliable.

A closer is a mechanism for automatically closing a door. The spring in it compresses when the door is opened and then, unclamping, returns the leaf to closed position. Closing occurs smoothly, since the spring has to overcome the resistance of oil with high viscosity.

Closers are not installed on interior doors residential buildings, but for office premises they are necessary

The closer design also includes a stopper to secure the door in the open position.

Based on the installation method, closers are divided into the following types:

Upper. They are installed next to the door and connected to it using a knee or slide mechanism. In the first case, the door is fixed in the open state with locking levers, in the second - with a spring-loaded stopper.
Lower ones. They are installed in the floor under the door and simultaneously act as additional support. To fix the door on the axis there are two protrusions: for swinging at 90 and 105 degrees.
Hidden. The mechanism for locking the door in the open position is the same as for bottom closers.

According to their intended purpose, closers are divided into 7 classes - from EN1 to EN7 (according to the European Union standard). The class is selected taking into account the weight of the door leaf, with EN1 corresponding to the lightest.

Limiters

This part is screwed to the floor and serves to prevent the door from hitting the wall when opening. The different models differ only in design.

Eyes

The eye is selected according to the following parameters:

There are a lot of plastic interior doors strengths, so it’s worth getting to know them better. We hope this article helped the reader with this. All that remains is to find a reputable manufacturer and place an order taking into account our recommendations.

Plastic entrance doors for a private home are gaining popularity only recently. No one could have imagined that they had so many advantages and were so practical to use. All features of use are discussed further in our article.

Advantages and disadvantages

Until recently, plastic doors were obviously inferior to their competitors, wooden and metal ones, in terms of strength. Now, with the development of technology, they have become much more reliable. And from the point of view of beauty, it was difficult to find fault with them even before.

Any material has its advantages. PVC, from which entrance doors are made, is no exception. It is characterized by:

High strength. Modern plastic ones are equipped with additional reinforcement - the thickness of a metal sheet is added to their thickness, which is difficult to damage even with the presence of an electric tool.
Ease. PVC is the lightest of the materials used to make entrance doors. A structure made from it is easy to transport, easy to install, plus you don’t need to calculate whether the wall will support it.
Modern plastic is coated with a special layer that is not sensitive even to aggressive chemicals. But even cheap structures without such a coating are easy to clean - most of the dirt can be removed from them with an ordinary wet cloth.

Resistant to mechanical damage . PVC, which is used in construction, is difficult to scratch or dent. He is not afraid of animal claws.
Durability. With proper care, the structure can last a couple of decades. Many companies, wanting to attract customers and emphasize the quality of their products, promise a guarantee of five or even ten years.
Diversity. The aesthetics of plastic is always questionable - many people think that it is too simple and cheap material. But one advantage cannot be taken away from it - it is as diverse as possible. All kinds of colors, patterns, decorations - for every taste.

Noise insulation. The level of noise insulation characteristic of plastic structures cannot yet catch up with either steel or wood. Thanks to the tightness provided by special rubber gaskets, the plastic at the entrance to the house completely cuts off the sounds of the outside world.

There may be construction work going on in the neighboring house - you will not hear it.

Thermal insulation. Thanks to the same tightness, a closed PVC entrance door does not let heat in at all. Even if it is equipped with double-glazed windows, heat loss will be very small.
Sustainability. The plastic is made in such a way that it is not afraid of exposure to moisture (and for some of the exterior decoration this is important because of snow and rain), or exposure to ultraviolet radiation (does not fade in the sun), or biological threats (does not mold, cannot be damaged by pests).
. Repair plastic construction- or, if the need arises, replace it with the same one - much easier and cheaper than steel or wood.

But no material is perfect, so in addition to the pros there are disadvantages:

Simplicity. Plastic, whatever one may say, is a cheap material. It does not suit truly expensive finishes, pompous interiors, or natural materials; it is out of place, no matter how well it is made.
Fire hazard. Plastic does not burn the way wood burns - with a bright scarlet fire. But it melts, emitting choking black smoke in the process.
High probability of dishonesty on the part of the manufacturer. You can't do anything too bad to wood or steel to make it unusable. But with plastic you can. If it is not made according to GOST, it can melt from very small temperature changes, crack easily, and emit fumes harmful to humans.

In addition, the cheapest of plastic structures are made without the use of a metal sheet, which means that, with a certain level of physical strength, they can be punched with a fist.

Unscrupulous sellers may sell them at a higher price and not focus on the fact that they do not have metal inserts.

Advice

It’s worth buying a plastic model if you have a style that suits it - the same as modern, for example, democratic in the materials used. But if the house is lined natural wood, plastic will look alien and inappropriate.

Design features

A good reliable plastic design that can last a decade is:

frame- it’s also a box that should be rigid enough to have rubber compressor, which will provide sound insulation with thermal insulation, and on which reliability, service life, and general appearance primarily depend;
door leaf- usually consists of a layer of plastic and a layer of metal, often supplemented with double-glazed windows, which gives it a more elegant look and insulation, which increases thermal insulation;
accessories- handles, hinges, which ensure overall reliability;
threshold- usually high, with a seal, which also increases reliability.

The materials for plastic doors are standard - galvanized steel, which strengthens the leaf along with the frame, as well as PVC, which forms the basis of the structure.

Advice

There are designs without metal reinforcement, but they are not suitable for the role of input. It is better to place them at the exit to the courtyard or even between rooms.

Accordingly, there is no point in giving the materials a thorough analysis. But some design features can radically affect how it will look and how convenient it will be to use.

Opening method

Of course interior designs There are many more ways of opening - here there is an accordion and a pendulum. But the inputs are also different.

The first ones are swing ones. These are standard doors that open away from you or towards you by turning them on hinges. They have advantages:

reliability- it is difficult to break the hinges, unless a child is trying to swing on them or someone is trying to purposefully break them;
traditional look- this is the design that is found in most houses, fits into most styles, and does not surprise anyone;
no difficulties with searching- this design can be bought in any store.

The second ones are sliding. In our latitudes they are rare, but they are traditional for the Japanese style. The principle of operation is simple - the doors move apart along the wall in different directions, and then slide behind the person who enters. The advantages are as follows:

originality- if you love Japan (and Asian countries in general), a sliding front door can change the appearance of your home and bring it closer in style to the countries of your dreams;
lack of space- doors that roll along the wall allow you to free up space for something else - at least for a flower bed.

But there is also a minus:

difficulty finding- this is the main disadvantage, since due to the low prevalence of sliding structures, you will have to look for a company that can sell them, install them, and provide them with a guarantee.

In fact, sliding structures are not inferior in reliability to swing ones.

Advice

If originality is your priority, and exterior finishing If it’s possible at home, install a sliding structure. If originality is not a priority, it will be easier and cheaper to buy and install a hinged one.

Size

They usually have standard sizes:

height - two meters one hundred centimeters is considered optimal, since even the tallest person can easily pass under a lintel of such a height;
the width of a single door is about nine hundred centimeters;
width one and a half - up to one and a half meters, according to the tastes of the owner;
double width - up to two meters (although some can reach up to three).

But knowing the standard size is not enough to be able to choose it for your specific home:

The height depends on how high the ceilings are in the house. If they are about four meters, standard door It will look poor, you need at least two and a half meters. And if the ceilings are low - and the inhabitants are not very tall - you can take even less.
A single design is worth taking if it fits well. If the house itself is small, if nothing large will pass through it, if the hallway is small and there is no room in it for two huge doors.
One and a half is worth taking if the size of the house requires it. Its smaller side, as a rule, does not open in ordinary life, but if you need to carry something large, you can open it.
It is worth taking a double door if the house is a huge pretentious cottage, in which a two-meter door will not look too pretentious, but just right. In addition, it will be useful to you if you like to change the interior and often need to bring large-sized furniture into the house.

Advice

If you did not build a house from scratch, but bought it from someone, you can simply measure the dimensions of the existing opening to design it to your liking.

Aesthetic side

Besides design features It is also important to consider how it will look as a result. The colors, shape, presence or absence of glass inserts may differ - all this must be taken into account.

Door without glass inserts

Glass inserts - The best way get a more beautiful result, but at the same time make it more expensive. If you are limited on finances - or do not trust glass - it is quite possible to order without it. This solution will have the following advantages:

lightness - glass adds additional weight, without it the mass decreases;
low price - pure plastic is much cheaper;
simplicity - no frills of design, which can sometimes look great.

But there will also be disadvantages:

To give it some aesthetics, if you are not satisfied with a smooth, even surface, you can use:

embossing - as a rule, produces the simplest geometric patterns formed by differences in surface height;
photo printing - allows you to cover the door with a special film that will give any color, any pattern, any pattern, even a night city or streams of rain;
counterfeit natural material- the same film allows you to imitate wood or stone quite tolerably.

Or you can leave it monochromatic, emphasizing its simplicity instead of hiding it - this can give an unexpectedly interesting effect.

Advice

If you are in doubt whether you should take a door without inserts, look at photographs with examples on the Internet and evaluate the impression they make.

Door with glass insert

This design is much more aesthetically pleasing - which is why, if you are going to look for a plastic door, it will most likely have glass elements. To make them look good - and also be practical - there are three main factors to consider.

The first is form. Glass can be placed in different ways:

Over the entire surface. This solution looks impressive, but for middle zone Russia, and even more so for the northern regions, is applicable with reservations. The glass should be thick, specially treated so as not to let out heat, most likely, opaque on one side. It will be expensive. But the result will be ideal for European styles. And he won't need a peephole.
At the top. Traditional location. The size of the glass insert may vary, as well as the shape, but it looks good in any case, and the peephole also replaces it perfectly. You can add patterns on the surface of the door that would emphasize its presence.

In the lower part. Should only be used if the glass is outside will be opaque. It looks original, interesting, but is rarely used, since people usually focus on the level of their own eyes.
Vertical stripes. Visually they make the door higher, narrower. They may be singular, or they may be in two or three copies. It is traditional to place the glass strip closer to the edge of the door on which the handle is located, but you can always experiment.
Horizontal stripes. If one vertical stripe looks good, then one horizontal stripe doesn’t look so good. Usually there are two or three of them, one shorter than the other. They make it wider and lower, but they also look interesting and attractive.

Patterns. There can be any degree of whimsy - it's up to you to decide. These can be the simplest geometric ones, there can be flowers, plants, birds, there can even be drawings made of glass. But, of course, than more complex pattern, the higher the cost of the final design.

The second is the manufacturing method. It is known that glass of different manufacturing methods can be used for entrance doors - but not all of them are well suited and will serve for a long time, reliably.

Happens:

Leafy. The most common glass that is sold at a low price. It is not very durable - in fact, it is an open invitation to a hacker, and moreover, it is most often transparent. But small inserts can even be made from it.

Tempered. Sheet, heated to high temperature, and then quickly cooled. It is much more resistant to mechanical damage, but it can still be broken. Also suitable for making small inserts.
Triplex. Suitable for a large insert, since it is very difficult to break it - especially if you take a proven triplex with a certificate. It can be sun-protective, matte, and provides significant noise insulation. It is made up of two or more sheets of glass glued with a special film.
Float. For small and medium inserts. Ideally smooth, ideally transparent, unless specially shaded. Produced by pouring molten glass onto molten metal.

Such glass breaks with difficulty, although it is easier than triplex.

Reinforced. Ideal for full-size inserts - has inside metal mesh, which is filled with glass and does not allow it to break, even if it is hit with force. At most, several fragments will fly out of it. Never transparent.
Acrylic. Lightweight plastic that looks indistinguishable from glass. Lightweight, does not break, but cracks, it is not suitable for a full size, since it does not have suitable thermal insulation and sound insulation, but it can be used for small inserts. Costs less than other glass.

For small inserts - acrylic, float, sheet and hardened. For medium and large ones - reinforced and triplex. Large ones will cost more, small ones are easier to damage.

When choosing a type of glass, first decide what pattern you want. You can start from it.

The third factor is glass processing. It should be either completely matte or opaque on one side - while looking good without being too fragile.

Happens:

painting. It is most often done manually, professionally. These are usually intricate patterns that are combined with general style Houses. However, it is rarely used - finding a good master is not too easy.
Photo printing. The same painting, but without the artist. Applicable only to triplex - the thin film that connects its layers is painted in the desired colors. It could be patterns, it could be drawings, it could just be beautiful tints of color.
Sun protection. The dark film, which makes the glass appear grayish or purple, protects the room behind it from ultraviolet radiation, and prevents people outside from looking into the house. Quite aesthetically pleasing, but not too original.

« Chameleon" Such glasses are expensive, but have interesting feature: Change color depending on the light level. In the dark, such glass will appear transparent, but in bright light it will turn purple or dark yellow. For a door, however, it is of little use - unless you like the color change on its own.
Stained glass. The most common finishing method. Thin pieces of glass are inserted into a special frame, forming a design or pattern. Light passing through it is colored, which also looks interesting and beautiful. The only drawback is fragility. Stained glass windows easily break, fly out, and deteriorate.
Fusion. The same stained glass window, but not in a grid, but fused onto a sheet of glass. The result is the same picture or the same pattern, but much more durable.

It is much more difficult to knock out such an element than stained glass.

Sandblasted matte. This glass is treated with sand under high pressure. It cuts it, resulting in small scratches that look aesthetically pleasing and make the sheet matte. One drawback is fragility. It is better not to process large elements this way; they are too easy to knock out.
Matte triplex. In this case, not a transparent, but a matte film is placed between the layers of glass. This does not change the strength in any way, but the appearance does not change completely.
Mirror. Usually they do it on one side of the glass, so that you can look out from the other and see who is standing at the door. Reflects sunlight.
Etching. Produces not very strong glass that looks like it was struck by lightning, leaving a mark. Looks good in small elements.
Colored. Multi-colored glass, even if it is not stained glass, still looks good. If you look through it, the whole world changes color. In addition, it allows you to make the door contrast by choosing plastic of one color and glass of another.

All these factors give a huge scope for choice. You can combine different types of processing, getting an original, interesting result.

Advice

If you want your door to be completely unique, come up with a sketch and order it from a company that specializes in manufacturing.

Shape and color

In addition to the presence or absence of glass inserts, the shape and color of the door also matters.

The form could be:

Traditional. The rectangular door is a classic that will never go out of date, can be seen in almost any home, and always looks good.
Semicircular arch. It is less common, but it looks impressive, especially if the house is large, bright, with notes of Greek style.

Equipment does not last forever and requires maintenance, which is what happened with our working gazelle. I had free time, so I took it to repair it myself.

Upon entering the workshop, I witnessed a heated argument on the phone. The man shouted into the phone and proved to his wife that there are no interior doors made of plastic.

I couldn’t help myself and approached him after he hung up.

He said that his wife was right, such “animals” exist in nature.

And today I want to introduce you to them. Do you think they are as simple as the doors in shopping centers? Let's check if this is true.

Interior plastic doors: advantages, types, how to choose

Until relatively recently, purchasing high-quality interior doors was a real problem - they had to be ordered from a carpentry shop and there were no similar products on the open market at all.

Today the situation is completely opposite - in almost any large hardware store you can buy doors for every taste and color.

There are very, very many varieties of these products, and one of them is modern interior plastic doors, which appeared on the market, one might say, recently.

They will be discussed in this article, in which we will look at their advantages and disadvantages, study the varieties and answer the question, how to choose plastic interior doors for your home?

Interior plastic doors: advantages and disadvantages

Modern plastic doors have quite a lot of advantages, and according to manufacturers and sellers, they have virtually no disadvantages - so to speak, an ideal option for a house or apartment.

Is this really so, the question is debatable, and will clarify this situation only time - people themselves will figure it out experimentally, and we will try to help them with this and consider the advantages and disadvantages of these doors. Let's start with the advantages.

1. High performance characteristics.

Interior PVC doors do not deform during operation, do not break due to strong impacts and are practically not injured.

We can agree with the first and second statements, since this door structure is based on an aluminum profile covered with a decorative layer of plastic.

But as for the third, it is quite controversial - the plastic itself is soft and scratches and even gouges easily remain on it.

Over time, the plastic becomes cloudy and takes on an unattractive appearance - even a protective and decorative laminated coating does not help get rid of this.

By the way, laminate does not carry protective properties- This is a decoration that allows you to give plastic doors different colors and textures.

2. Moisture resistance.

There’s no need to even argue here - both aluminum and plastic are practically not subject to corrosion. Moreover, moisture does not affect them in any other way.

Such doors can be called ideal option for rooms with high humidity - in houses and apartments these are, as a rule, bathrooms, toilets, boiler rooms, storage rooms and similar rooms.

3. Plastic doors are also credited with such a property as fire safety - they claim that interior doors made of plastic are fire-resistant.

Any person who is somehow familiar with the properties can argue with this statement. PVC plastic– as they say, it burns with a clear flame and does it very quickly.

As for doors, aluminum may be a deterrent here, but as a fire protector, it is, to put it mildly, useless.

In general, such doors burn, and depending on the intensity of the fire, they may not even have an aluminum frame left.

4.Easy to operate.

We won’t argue here - the smooth surface that PVC interior plastic doors have is very easy to clean from dust and dirt.

No matter how you decorate plastic doors, no matter what color and structure you give them, plastic still remains plastic and it is unable to bring anything other than the coldness of office premises into the living space.

In addition, such doors look the same and rectangular, which, again, determines their scope (offices and public buildings).

If we summarize all of the above, we can draw only one conclusion - in principle, the doors are not bad, one might even say excellent and in some situations irreplaceable.

But, as they say, this option is not for a residential building or apartment - if you want a warm and cozy environment, then look in a slightly different direction (for example, towards wooden doors or at least MDF).

Types of interior plastic doors and their classification

By and large, plastic doors can be classified according to many criteria, and in this respect they are not much different from any other interior doors. If we look at this issue in more detail, we can make the following classification.

In principle, you can see other differences here, but these are, as they say, little things that do not affect performance characteristics doors of this type.

Note!

Plastic door leaves can have either a standard rectangular design or an arched one.

For example, the internal filling can be made of different materials, the doors may or may not be covered with a decorative layer of laminate, or they may differ in profile and system of mechanisms - this also needs to be taken into account when choosing.

Two points to pay attention to when choosing plastic doors

There are two main points that determine the quality of interior plastic doors - the profile from which they are made and, of course, the fittings used. Let's look at these points in a little more detail.

Profile. In principle, no special profiles are developed for doors of this type - they use those from which windows are made, so the first thing you need to pay attention to is the number of chambers.

In this situation, they affect the sound conductivity of the door block - the more there are, the better, but you shouldn’t get too carried away here either.

By and large, to ensure high-quality sound insulation, the simplest profile with three or four chambers is sufficient.

You also need to pay attention to the manufacturer of these products - KBE, Thyssen, Rehau, Veka profiles, in principle, can be called the best today.

Fittings, which include locks, hinges and handles - you must agree, it’s unpleasant when these products fail on doors, especially if we're talking about about the castle. Quite a lot of problems can arise in such situations.

It will help to avoid this right choice quality fittings.

To conclude the topic about interior plastic doors, a few words about decoration methods. All kinds of textures and colors can be added to doors in two ways - painting and lamination.

Both methods of applying a decorative coating are carried out at the door manufacturing stage, and it is better to take care of the appearance of the product in advance - it is impossible to do this later.

Helpful advice!

Using painting and lamination, interior plastic doors can be given any texture and color.

Lamination is more expensive, but this method produces a less wide range of colors and shades. Painting allows you to make doors of any color according to the RAL catalogue, but at the same time this coating is less resistant to damage.

Is choice a problem or not? Each of us is faced with a CHOICE every minute. Whether it’s choosing a job, a car, or an interior door.

How not to make a mistake? It is necessary to OWN THE INFORMATION correctly!

I offer you comprehensive information on which interior door to choose! PLASTIC or WOODEN.

There is an opinion that plastic doors are used only in balcony structures. However, this has long been untrue.

The scope of application of plastic doors is much wider due to their unique qualities.

First of all, they are reliable and resistant to temperature loads. They are successfully used in Russian winter conditions, even in cities such as Magadan, Krasnoyarsk or Irkutsk.

In addition, plastic windows are distinguished by high level soundproofing.

Note!

High-strength PVC retains its texture and does not deform even under the influence of very harsh external conditions.

High-strength PVC retains its texture and does not deform even under the influence of very harsh external conditions, and therefore is completely suitable material both for entrance and interior doors.

Moisture-resistant, plastic doors are the preferred option for installation in a bathroom, swimming pool, sauna or kitchen. In this regard, they clearly outperform their wooden counterparts, especially considering that plastic can be easily washed in the most ordinary way.

This best option for any consumer, combining an affordable price and high performance characteristics.

Most of all, plastic doors are loved by owners of private houses and cottages. Here, this type of door opens up great opportunities: the entrance to the house, boiler room, swimming pool, basement, garage, any utility room.

Also, plastic doors are perfect for installation in a winter garden. Models with double-glazed windows throughout the entire height look especially good here.

Plastic doors are made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC with the addition of additional chemical substances. And compared to ordinary wooden doors, plastic ones have a number of advantages.

Plastic interior doors are fireproof and moisture resistant. The latter is especially important for wet areas, because even in such conditions it will not be subject to deformation. At the same time, despite their “origin”, such doors fit organically into the interior.

A textured pattern is usually rolled onto the surface of plastic interior doors, and a decorative “wood-like” film is placed on top.

So you can always choose the appropriate texture. In addition, a plastic door is more economical than a wooden one.

It costs less, and is also an excellent protection against noise, because... has good sound and heat insulation.

But, despite all its advantages, a plastic door is inferior to a wooden one in terms of environmental friendliness.

Plastic, which contains various modifiers and stabilizers, can emit harmful fumes, and wood is itself an environmentally friendly material.

For the manufacture and finishing of door sets, metal, glass, plastic, wood, and composite materials are used. With all the richness of choice of materials for the production of doors, wooden doors look the most impressive and expensive.

Natural natural beauty pine, mahogany, oak, walnut, cherry, maple, anegri with a unique pattern and color indicates excellent taste, as well as the respectability of the owners.

In addition, wooden doors have low heat and sound conductivity, this will allow you to maintain your microclimate in the rooms and achieve acoustic comfort.

A wooden door is quite beautiful and comfortable; the wood can be painted, varnished, painted, or even left untreated. This will depend on where you install it.

Wooden doors are:

Strength.
Thermal insulation.
Soundproofing.
Luxurious appearance.
Ecological cleanliness.

A wooden interior door is non-electrostatic, so it does not attract pollution like a plastic door. In case of fire, such a door does not emit toxic gases.

Like a plastic door, a wooden door provides high thermal protection and low sound conductivity.

Solid wood interior doors are highly durable, while their hollow and MDF “counterparts” are comparable to plastic ones in this regard.

The consequence of this may be stuffiness and increased humidity in the room.

To summarize, we can say that: plastic doors are cheap, reliable and do not require maintenance. Wooden doors more expensive, but they look more attractive and are environmentally friendly.

Plastic interior doors. What to look for when choosing.

When many people mention plastic, they immediately think plastic sheathing walls or modern windows. But in fact, products made from this material a large number of.

Recently, when choosing a door, buyers have been paying attention to models made of plastic or, as it is also called differently, polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Plastic doors are increasingly becoming part of everyday life.

They are installed everywhere.

Both in residential premises (houses and cottages) and partially inhabited (garages, offices, gyms, hospitals).

If you compare PVC doors with doors made from other materials, a number of advantages appear. Excellent heat and noise insulation due to minimal gaps and high-quality rubber seals.

Economical, production costs are significantly lower than wooden and glass doors. Another advantage is ease of maintenance - just wipe the doors with a cleaning solution. Plastic doors have good resistance to moisture and frost.

Gone are the days when there were just white doors. Now lamination technology allows you to match doors to any interior. You can create the texture of wood, stone.

You can make an insert from any glass: from ordinary transparent to colored embossed - this is evidenced by the photos of plastic interior doors presented below.

Depending on the client’s wishes, the number of sashes can be from one to many. They are equipped with a bell, intercom, and security lock. Distinctive feature doors - quality, lack of toxicity, ease of operation.

The basis of any door made of polyvinyl chloride, the skeleton, so to speak, is a metal profile. Not only reliability, but also the service life of the door depends on its quality. Therefore, the choice of profile should be approached very seriously.

A good profile will not be cheap, but you can always choose the ideal option in terms of quality/price ratio.

Store consultants or the Internet will help with this, where you can find information about manufacturers, read reviews and customer reviews about products and companies.

The interior of the room dictates certain conditions for the appearance of the door. Oak, walnut, cherry, what color will look good in your room?

This needs to be decided in advance, because painting or laminating the door occurs immediately after the profile is made. All details should be clearly discussed with the manufacturer.

Note!

Changing the texture of an already finished door will be very difficult, as well as painting it a different color.

After choosing the profile and external design, you need to decide what the door will be filled with. There are two options: plastic and glass. There is no significant difference in price between them.

The plastic can be made in texture and color the same as the base, so that everything is the same tone. A door with glass looks great, especially since there are many design options.

If increased impact resistance of glass is required, the manufacturer will install triplex glass.

You also need to think in advance about where the door will open. Everything is clear with the front door; for the safety of your home, it should only open outwards. But what to do with interior doors depends on the dimensions of the home.

If there is enough free space in the corridor, it is better to choose an external opening. If there is more space in the room - internal. Don’t forget about the side of the door opening, which also depends on the architecture of the home.

Depending on the side chosen, there will be space left for the handle and lock.

For a door to last a long time, a high-quality profile, glass and plastic are not enough. Much depends on the fittings.

How to choose accessories.

When choosing door hardware, you need to pay attention to the simplicity and ease of use.

All mechanisms should work effortlessly, the locks should be easy to open and close.

Most plastic doors are installed in public institutions.

Hospitals, kindergartens, schools, utilities, shopping centers visited by a large number of people, so door furniture in such places it is operated under heavy loads.

To ensure the security of the premises, locks with anti-burglary protection and warm strapping are installed.

Helpful advice!

In order for the door to serve for a long time, it is worth choosing reinforced hinges and handles.

For entrance doors, since they are installed deeper than interior doors, and to ensure greater security, manufacturers provide reinforced reinforcements that are installed around the perimeter of the frame.

If it is expected that the front door will be exposed to increased exposure to sun and moisture, it is advisable to install special metal reinforcements in order for the profile to retain its shape.

Balcony doors are manufactured according to the principle plastic windows, with the same lock and fittings.

They always open into the room, and the handle is also installed in the same direction. To make it convenient to close the door from the balcony, a latch or hook is installed.

The profile of interior doors differs from window doors; it has a wider leaf, which makes it possible to attach handles on both sides and equip them with reinforced hinges and closers.

In addition to comfort and ease of use, plastic doors will fit perfectly into any interior.
