Types, types of interior doors

Today's market is simply “flooded” with a huge variety of interior doors, both domestic and imported. Manufacturers make products from solid wood and veneer of various types of wood, various "tree-like" materials, glass, plastic and even aluminum. Doors are equipped with various design features that lead to a change in the way they are opened. About what other types and types of interior doors are "tell" today's article.

Types of interior doors

To date, there are the following types (types) of interior doors:

• Swing doors - the most common type of door. They are: single-leaf, two-leaved, one and half-leaved; can open: inward / outward, right / left.

• Folding doors - are in demand among those who want to save living space. Depending on the number of folds, they are distinguished on the model: one fold - “book”; two or more folds - "accordion". Folding doors are made of inexpensive materials (wall paneling, chipboard, laminate), so they are rarely used in residential premises. But in the storerooms and dressing rooms such doors are set with enviable popularity.

• Coupe doors are the same doors that in the past Soviet years could only be found in compartment carriages. Today, their popularity is growing steadily. Compartment doors are sliding (from one leaf) and sliding (from two cloths). They can be fixed on the top and on the bottom rail at the same time or only on one of them. Sliding doors are considered the best option for zoning adjacent areas, such as a kitchen or living room. Since at any time you can separate from each other the cooking zone and guest area.

• Swing doors are the rarest and most exotic type of interior doors. In operation, these doors swing open in both directions as in the subway. It should also be noted that due to the small volume of sales, such doors are not available in many stores.

• Stable doors - represent the upper and lower halves, each of which is equipped with separate hinges and a lock. Such doors are quite popular in the West. At the same time with us, they can also be found in the same bars. But in general, it makes sense to install stable doors in cases when there is a small child in the house. They will protect the child from the danger zone (such as the kitchen) and at the same time will not allow parents to lose sight of him.

Types of interior doors on the material

Types (types) of interior doors by material:

• Wooden doors - the most popular and at the same time the most expensive interior design. They can be presented in the form of solid birch, pine and other wood species. Such doors "give" warmth and comfort. They are in very good harmony with the parquet and wooden paneling.

• Doors of materials "under the tree" - a cheaper analogue of wooden structures. They can take part in their production: MFD, chipboard, laminate, melamine, etc. Doors made of “tree-like” materials are much more aesthetic than plastic products, although they cost almost the same.
• Plastic doors. These are inexpensive products targeted to non-residential premises or places with high traffic. The main advantage of these doors is their ability to take any shape, texture and color.

• Metal doors. In Russia, such interior doors are very rare. Despite the fact that there are quite beautiful models, for example, where glazing is used or the aluminum profile is combined with wood.

• Glass doors. There are both completely glass doors (all-glass), and partially glazed. And if the former can more often be found in stores, the latter have long been established in private and apartment buildings.
