Interior doors are divided into solid and prefabricated models. The second variations are more modern, and their production has been honed for decades. The introduction of new technologies and materials has simplified the complexity of the manufacturing process. If we talk about royal doors, reviews of which we will consider further, then ordinary users know little about them. Nevertheless, in this new segment the parameters of decent quality and reasonable price are optimally combined.
Design features
To understand what are king doors, reviews of which vary, it is necessary to study the features of their design. Such models are characterized by transverse slats that are placed between the side racks. They form the frame part, which serves to fill auxiliary materials.
The number of transverse elements is at least three pieces. This makes it possible to guarantee the strength of the structure. The assembly principle is similar to the configuration of panel analogues with hardened and durable materials. The inserts are thicker, providing a decent degree of rigidity. Moreover, the modular scheme allows you to quickly replace damaged items. Such modifications resemble a kind of designer, characterized by practicality and a wide selection of decor.
Materials
For the production of interior doors in industrial or home conditions, various materials are used. There are no special requirements for internal filling. The main task is to ensure a smooth and durable frame. The combination of elements avoids the appearance of joints between the finishing parts, which increases the period of operation of the product.
To equip the door base, they mainly take a wooden beam. Budget standard modifications are made of pine or larch. The second option is somewhat more expensive, but more durable. In more expensive versions, valuable tree species are often introduced, of which the structure partially consists. Another version for the base is MDF. Its thickness makes it possible to ensure sufficient density of the canvas.
Additional items
For the internal modules of the drawer doors (reviews confirm this), various components are used, including MDF and wood. By thickness, parts are taken the same as for the frame, or slightly less. This parameter directly affects the appearance of the product.
Some modifications include glass inserts that give a certain lightness. Modules do not have to be transparent; they are installed both horizontally and vertically as surface overlays. For completeness of construction, various cladding elements are used. On modern variations use:
- regular and eco-veneer;
- PVC
- laminate.
Cladding materials are applied separately to each segment, which is positively displayed on most product characteristics.
Advantages
According to reviews, interior doors are popular among any population. The benefits include the following:
- Structural strength and reliability. The frame is responsible for the stability of the entire canvas with any filling. Cross strips act as stiffeners. Accordingly, the more of them, the stronger the product.
- Modular configuration. Such features make it possible to disassemble the door without any problems, without harming the decorative surface. This allows you to quickly change the worn or deformed part, as well as radically alter the exterior of the product.
- The absence of edge joints. Thanks to technological nuances, all parts are protected from external influences. This feature has a positive effect on quality, guaranteeing a long service life.
- Resistance to temperature extremes. These modifications are minimally susceptible to fluctuations in the density of components due to thermal effects.
- Moisture resistant. Thanks to the special finish, moisture does not get into the joints.
- Attractive appearance. Aesthetics are ensured with the use of materials and a variety of design designs.
Minuses
In their reviews about the use of interior door doors, consumers note that the designs in question have virtually no shortcomings. Among some of the minuses is a low level of security. In addition, the product may have a large weight if massive elements and a large number of cross bars on the frame are used. It is worth noting that it is impossible to provide reliable protection of the doorway with such a cloth, however, they are ideal as interior floors.
Manufacturing principle
The photo of the drawer doors given below will allow you to clearly understand the features of the production of these structures. They are produced according to the same principle as paneled analogues, however, they have a number of technological differences. Firstly, there is a seamless technology for processing the roof, which results in elements that are protected on all sides by a special coating.
Secondly, the framework of vertical and transverse parts is used as the basis. Additional filling is usually done on a horizontal basis, less often an additional vertical is used, which is typical for large and wide canvases. It is extremely important to maintain perfect surface evenness, eliminating the formation of further distortions and gaps. A well-made collet door (reviews only confirm this) serves a rather long period. For external changes or repairs to the product, you can use special decorative inserts.
Laminated Varieties
As you can be sure of the reviews, plinth doors made of laminate are the most budget option. A decorative coating is applied to the MDF plank frame. Film material is created from prepared paper imitating wood. To make the product stronger and more resistant to moisture, the base is impregnated with resins. It is worth noting that such modifications are not intended for installation in rooms with a high level of humidity. In addition, it is not recommended to install laminated models if there is a high risk of external influences (small children, pets).
Eco-veneer drawer doors
Reviews of such modifications indicate that eco-veneer is less toxic than ordinary polyvinyl chloride. It is made of polypropylene, wood impregnations and adhesive. The thickness of the material varies from 0.2 to 0.5 millimeters. The color and texture of such a film resembles wood as much as possible. Manufacturers produce options with a structure that has a unique tint.
The strength of the eco-veneer is not worse, and sometimes better than PVC, depending on the thickness of the materials. If this indicator is identical, the strength of these elements is similar. With their help, manufacturers get models that resemble natural veneers as much as possible in their beauty and properties, while they cost much less.
It will not be difficult for a specialist to find the difference, but for users with limited financial capabilities, the option considered is considered optimal.
Pvc film
As indicated in many reviews of the king doors, consumers note that there is not much difference between the eco-veneer and the PVC film. The component is equally durable and flexible, provides protection for the product from all sides. Manufacturers choose one or another material depending on the equipment that is responsible for coating. PVC film is available in all kinds of colors. As a result, the door can be painted in almost any color, including imitation wood, granite or natural stone.
Dimensions
According to customer reviews, the doors are delivered to the market in finished form or are made to order. The final choice depends on the size of the doorway. Standard dimensions are 60-90 centimeters in width and up to 200 cm in height. For an optimal match, the dimension line of such products is made a multiple of 100 mm.
Non-standard variations include those designs whose dimensions go beyond the specified indicators. Such modifications are produced either in limited series, or are made on an individual project.
The entire manufacturing process can be divided into three stages:
- From the blanks, the main elements of the product are created using special machines.
- Prepared parts are finished with laminate, PVC film, eco-veneer or painted depending on the method of subsequent finishing.
- Then the assembly of the structure is carried out. Specialized equipment is also used for this, since the screeding of elements requires substantial physical strength. Install clamping screws and studs. Other openings are masked with decorative plugs.
Features of self-assembly
When installing the door doors with your own hands, you should pay attention to several important points:
- If installation is carried out in the winter, the cloth should stand for a day at room temperature.
- The ends at the top and bottom of the products in factories are not processed. They must be varnished or soaked with a special protective agent.
- The same processing should be carried out when installing locks and fittings.
The rest of the installation is done according to the standard scheme, the principle differs by the opening system, which can be swing, sliding or pendulum type.
Reviews about the doors TD-168
The opinions of users about this and similar modifications were divided. Some consider such versions to be beautiful, quite durable and effective, highlighting the advantages that were mentioned above. However, many complaints have been received. They relate to the difficulty of cleaning the coating, as well as susceptibility to scratching and a low degree of wear resistance.
