What interior doors are the cheapest and most reliable

In fact, choosing a cheap and high-quality door is more than realistic, you just need to know what characteristics to pay attention to when buying. The economy class segment includes interior paintings in the price range from 700 to 3000 rubles. How do they differ from luxury and what to look for?

Design

There are three types of door construction - swing, sliding and folding. The first is the most economical and popular, this option in most cases is installed in the office and home.

When opening, sliding doors hide in a special section in the wall or have rails on top and bottom, along which they slide to the side. In the economy class segment, poor-quality sliding mechanisms are usually represented, which seize up over time.

Folding doors are represented by a cloth divided into several sections, which, when opened, folds into a kind of accordion. It is important to look at the quality of fittings, on which the functional side will depend.

Materials

Economy class doors from the inside are most often represented by hollow cells, or honeycombs made of cardboard or pine beams. The second option is much stronger, and the price difference is not so critical. The surface of each side of the canvas is covered with a thin MDF plate, and the frame is made of solid pine. Since pine is a fairly soft material, it is important that it be covered with laminated panels or other hard material.

Hardware

Accessories for budget doors are easier to select. Super durable and expensive door hinges are not needed here, since the canvas is quite light in itself. Handles are easy to mount. But they require strengthening in places of contact with the canvas.

Design

Canvases of economy class are usually covered with a laminating film, on which a pattern imitating wood patterns is applied. There are also regular smooth surfaces. At the same time, the design capabilities make it possible to imitate any kind of wood, as well as supplement the canvas with glass inserts. But at the same time, an integral door will be more reliable and cheaper. If you want to take a door with a glass insert, it is important to make sure in the store that the glass does not rattle, does not walk and is firmly inserted into the canvas.

Quality

Inexpensive doors are especially important to check for quality joints. If during inspection and palpation there are gaps between the seams into which you can insert a toothpick, then you should refuse to buy.

Doors with artificial finishes instead of veneers are usually more durable and easier to clean. They are not subject to temperature extremes, rarely deform, and retain their original appearance for a long time.
