Modern manufacturers offer interior doors of a variety of attractive designs, while promising their long and proper functioning. Taking into account the material costs involved in the purchase, we really want the doors to serve us as long as possible. But without proper maintenance, the period of use of interior doors is many times reduced, regardless of whether it is an elite solid oak or a simpler material. Any product needs careful attitude and appropriate care.
To extend the service life and preserve the appearance, it is necessary to provide the doors with a certain care, taking into account all the factors affecting their functionality and aesthetic perception.
First of all, the product must be mounted at the final stage of the repair. Otherwise, the canvas can be damaged by mechanical action or building materials. If the door structure is already installed, then before work it must be tightly closed with polyethylene.
To prolong the service life, you should not install heaters near the door. The proximity of the heat source and its prolonged exposure negatively affects the coating of the canvas, which can peel off, spoiling the appearance.
It is important to take into account the humidity of the room. From deformation at an increased level of moisture, the product will be protected by additional application of varnish on the door ends. The best way out is to purchase special options that are moisture resistant. For example, sliding models made of oak, ash are resistant to moisture, while pine is not. And pine structures in a room with high humidity will not last long. To avoid such mistakes and choose a product for specific conditions, taking into account mechanical loads, it is more expedient with the help of a specialist.
Care rules
The quality of the door structure, as well as its operation and maintenance, depend on the material used. Natural wood requires more attention than its counterpart, as it is the most exposed. In fact, the general care of interior doors is not at all complicated and does not require much time.
The main thing is to follow simple rules:
- Dust regularly using a microfiber cloth or cloth. For products made of natural veneer, dry cleaning is desirable. For laminated structures, detergents can be used. But it is absolutely impossible to influence a tree with water. In case of severe contamination, if detergents do not help, alcohol wipes can be used, but in no case should you use chemically active substances containing acids, solvents and abrasives that can damage the surface. Then the dried canvas can be treated with a polish (for wood - based on wax).
- Chips and scratches require more serious action: the damaged surface should be treated with fine-grained sandpaper and polished.
- Thorough cleaning is especially needed for the lower structural part. It is this area that is most exposed to chemicals when washing floors.
- If there are decorated glass inserts, they must be wiped, like windows, with special glass cleaners so that there are no stains.
- Once a year, it is necessary to process door fittings with machine oil or a special liquid lubricant and change it if necessary, without waiting for failure (this is especially true for door hinges).
- On a light canvas next to the handle, you can install plastic pads so that the lower part under the handle does not get dirty.
- If the door is purchased for a children's room, it must be understood that the activity of children exposes the structure to increased stress and even danger. And here the quality of fittings and the reliability of the material are the primary selection criteria.
When choosing a door, any owner plans to use it for more than one year. Keeping a neat, beautiful appearance and increasing the service life will help to follow these simple rules.
***Seregin Dmitry
In fact, it all depends on the quality of the doors. It is necessary to choose doors with a protective coating, regardless of whether it is laminated or veneered. In this case, the door is resistant to any humidity and its quality will not change even if you put it in the bathroom.
***
Stepan Gennadievich
Yes, you can. In this case, wall panels will be mounted along the thickness of the wall, and platbands will be installed on both sides.
***
Larisa
Of course, it is undesirable to do this, because, most likely, there will be uneven increased gaps between the door leaf itself and the frame, and the old hinges and the frame will not give the interior door a finished look.
***
Sergey
Of course you can. For example, it can be a door leaf lined with MDF or veneered.
***
Marina
The absence of a seal is undesirable. The presence of a high-quality seal improves the resistance to sound waves several times. When installing a special brush on the lower edge of the door, interior doors provide sound insulation of 32 dB and up to 36 dB. Be sure to check during installation that the interior door is completely, without gaps, adjacent to the seal. Otherwise, the effect of its presence will be significantly worse.
***
Svetlana.
The service life of interior doors depends on the veneer of which tree it is lined with. The minimum service life of interior doors is 50 years. But practice shows that oak doors are much more durable.
***
Margarita Svetlova
If we evaluate the door as a device with which you can close the room, then laminated doors are really practical and more affordable than veneered ones. However, in terms of aesthetic perception, veneered doors retain their original appearance much longer than laminated ones.
***
Sergei Moskvin.
Good day, Sergey! Modern doors have very complex coatings obtained on the basis of industrial materials. Most of them cannot be applied at home. Therefore, the most reasonable thing is to entrust this work to specialists from the service center of the company in which you purchased the doors. If that's not possible, or if you'd rather do the work yourself anyway, try waxing the door. It closes damage and cracks and prevents them from increasing in size. If the growth of cracks is not stopped, then even in a very high-quality varnish, after 12-15 years they can become so large that moisture and oxygen from the air will begin to penetrate into the wood through them, and it will change its appearance.
***
Anastasia
Depending on the temperature, the percentage of humidity can range from 70% to 85%. If the humidity is 95%, then the door can be kept closed for no more than 24 hours.
***
Tatiana.
Doors finished with fine wood veneer, of course, carry the structural features of this wood. Which, in general, is appreciated in it. Natural pattern and shade, as it is created by wildlife. If it is fundamentally important for you that all doors are exactly the same color, I can only offer painted doors.
***
Vitaly.
The warranty covers any defects in the door leaf, fittings, platbands that did not arise due to improper installation of the door. Quite often, after installation of the door by non-professionals, distortions appear that lead to serious damage, so we recommend ordering installation from our specialists.
***
Emelyanovs.
To effectively clean the door, use only special substances, do not use washing liquids or abrasive powders. Non-specialized substances can enter into chemical interaction with wood, damage the paintwork, discolor certain areas. If there are no special products at hand, use a 9:1 solution of water and alcohol.
***
Tatyana Lazareva.
It is better to install doors at the last stage of work, when all "wet" work, gluing, etc. are completed. When installing the door by professionals, the wall and floor covering will not be damaged.
***
Tatarinov Alexey.
The Garant door package includes a door leaf and a frame, platbands, a door dobornik, and a threshold are purchased separately.
***
Olga Ivanovna.
The fact is that doors are produced according to certain sizes, so the standard width of the door frame is 70mm, if the wall thickness is more than 70mm, an extension is used.
***
Roman Ivanov.
Many years of experience in the market of interior doors of the Garant factory, the use of modern technologies in production allow our products to successfully compete with foreign manufacturers.
***
Valentin Sergeevich.
Modern technologies for the production of doors have stepped far ahead, so doors made of combined materials, veneer are not inferior in beauty, durability and performance to solid wood doors.
***
Valuev Anton.
A necessary condition for a long and comfortable operation of the door is proper installation, an unevenly installed frame can lead to leaf deformation, which can lead to the impossibility of further operation. Our company provides a guarantee for its products, but with self-installation, any defects will be evaluated by experts to determine the causes of their occurrence. To determine whether this is a factory defect or the wrong installation was the fault.

Peter.
Hello Peter! In the assortment of our store, we will select a door that will suit the design of the children's room, we also offer door models with increased sound and heat insulation properties, such doors are equipped with seals around the entire perimeter of the door leaf, and according to the design, the “filling” of such a door is a porous material.

Alexander Nikolaevich.
Modern paint and varnish coatings reliably protect the door from high humidity or dryness of the room, do not worry, Guarantor doors can be installed in the bathroom or toilet.

Requirements for installing interior doors
1. For damage to hidden electrical wiring, in the event that the customer does not notify of its presence, in the walls adjacent to the opening, the master is not responsible.2. The master does not perform work related to the cosmetic finishing of the opening after installing the door.
3. The door is set according to the level, regardless of the curvature of the wall. Or along the plane of the wall, neglecting the level, which leads to spontaneous movement of the door.
4. In case of deformation of the door and door frame as a result of exposure to moisture (unheated rooms, plastering, wallpapering), the master is not responsible.
5. Garbage removal is not included in the installation cost and is carried out only on the landing.
6. Cleaning of the premises is not carried out and is not included in the installation cost.
IMPORTANT: Due to the fact that fittings are inserted with an electric tool, fine dust is generated during operation. Before the arrival of the master, it is advisable to cover the furniture, household appliances, etc. film.
Installing doors is a very responsible procedure and it would be right to entrust it to experienced craftsmen with professional tools. If the door is installed incorrectly, even the most durable door will lose its unique properties. "AS-Doors" are ready to professionally perform the installation of doors and components in existing openings.
Benefits of installing doors from AS Market.
1. The lowest cost of installation work in St. Petersburg. 2. Quality guarantee for all products and work on installing doors for 12 months.
3. Guaranteed FREE measurement, when concluding a contract for the sale of goods or services.
4. Only a professional tool for installing entrance, interior doors and arches.
5. At least 5 years of experience in the installation team.
6. We will install any number of doors in yours in one working day.
7. Installation of doors on the day of delivery.
8. We install both weekdays and weekends and at a time convenient for you.
9. Our fitters are only Slavs, without bad habits, the most polite and tidy.
In St. Petersburg, there are a huge number of organizations ready to install doors, but believe me, none of them will be responsible for the work performed after the end of the warranty period, and many do not fulfill their obligations at all after the work has been completed. And certainly do not contact private masters, because no one will confirm the quality of their work. AS Market employs only qualified door and arch installers. And all because it is we who give the GUARANTEE FOR INSTALLATION, and not the master. From us you will not hear the phrase “The master who installed the doors at your place quit. Here is his body… call and sort it out yourself.” Believe me. High-quality installation of doors and arches in St. Petersburg can only be in a company that sells both goods and services. We are responsible for the doors purchased from us and for the work of our employees, even if for some reason they do not work at AS Market. AS Market specialists will install interior doors (PVC, eco-veneer, glass, laminated, solid ....), entrance doors, metal doors, prefabricated or custom-made arches, products of non-standard sizes and many related works.
What is the production time for interior doors?
Most of these doors are stored in our warehouse, so you can easily pick them up yourself on the same day you ordered. If you are interested in delivery, then we carry it out within 1 to 3 business days. The schedule is affected by the workload of warehouse workers. Doors that are made to order will be ready within 10 working days.
Which material is better for interior doors: laminate, veneer or solid wood?
There is no single answer to this question. Each of these materials has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, laminated doors are affordable, more resistant to damp environments, lighter in weight and require little maintenance. Veneered doors are more durable, visually look more solid and richer, and the veneer structure makes the doors look like natural wood, so there are almost no differences.
Solid wood doors, unlike the previous two, are stronger, have a more beautiful pattern and shade, but also a higher price.
What is the difference between natural veneer and eco-veneer?
Natural veneer is a natural material. That is, very thin sheets of valuable wood species are glued onto a chipboard or MDF panel plane. Natural veneer has the same pattern and texture as real wood.
Ecoveneer is an artificial material. It is made of polypropylene film, which exactly imitates the pattern and structure of natural wood. Visually, it is quite difficult to find the difference between natural and eco-veneer. You can see it by looking at the side cut of the edge. Eco-veneer is known for its high manufacturability, the cost of doors made of this material is low, and the performance characteristics are quite reliable. Eco-veneer is a material that has increased wear resistance and does not need any special care, and is also resistant to high humidity. Although interior doors from eco-veneer began to be made not so long ago, their demand is growing every day.
Can I purchase only one door leaf without a box and trims?
Yes. You can only purchase the painting itself. In addition, you yourself can take out the door and install it. In addition, you can also separately order and buy an additional set of doors, any fittings and door moldings.
Do you install doors?
Yes. We install interior doors, and we do this by performing a full range of works, which includes: consultation with specialists who will take into account all the wishes and financial situation, taking all measurements, delivery to the site, installation of doors and warranty service.
Is there such a casing that can be installed without nails?
Yes. We have a telescopic molding available, with which you can quickly, conveniently and modernly mount the door unit. On the telescopic box with a seal, special grooves are made for the installation of platbands and additional elements. This makes it possible to do without fasteners when attaching the trim to the additional bar and the rack. If necessary, the telescopic architraves can be pulled out of the groove and removed, this is especially convenient during repairs.
I am interested in interior doors of non-standard sizes. Can I order these from you?
Of course. We can produce doors of absolutely any, non-standard sizes, as well as according to your individual sketches. We also have swing doors and sliding doors available.
I'm wondering what is PVC coating?
PVC coating is a polyvinyl chloride coating, which is an environmentally friendly and fairly hard material. It has increased resistance to high and low temperatures, high humidity (up to 70%), mechanical stress (chips and scratches), and it is also perfectly washable and does not fade over time.
What can be the maximum allowable humidity where veneered doors are installed?
The most optimal option is not higher than 60%. If the door is planned to be stored or transported for a short time in a room where the humidity will be up to 95%, then the door should not be in this room for more than 24 hours.
What is the service life of veneered doors?
In the manufacture of veneer doors, a special glue is used. The strength and durability of the glued veneer depend on it. Manufacturers guarantee at least 50 years of service life of such glue, although in practice this period is much longer.
The type of wood from which the veneer is made also affects the service life of the doors. For example, oak veneer doors are among the leaders in terms of durability. The quality of the varnish covering the door and, of course, the accuracy in handling affect the service life.
What door dimensions are considered standard in your production? In particular, this applies to height.
Our door standards are: 400*2000, 600*2000, 700*2000, 800*2000, 900*2000, 550*1900 HL, 600*1900 HL.
Why do you need an additional element?
An extension is a plank that is used to expand the door frame. This is done in cases where the wall is wider than the box itself. Since the box has a standard width (70 cm), sometimes the need for an additional element is extremely important. The material from which the door is made is the same as the material of the door.
At the very last. Usually after finishing installation of floors. Installing modern doors is very similar to installing furniture. The room must be completely dry after repair work. It also eliminates the need to fit the flooring under the door frame, which will negate the formation of gaps. It is best to choose and order doors 1.5-2 months in advance, because during the manufacturing process there may be a need to make doors or special elements on an individual order.
Can custom size doors be made?
It is possible, and any size of the door (width and height) can be non-standard. The maximum allowable height of the door block is 2340 mm, width is 970 mm. These dimensions correspond to a doorway with dimensions: 2370 by 1000 mm).
What is included in the door kit?
- Door leaf (the door itself)
- Door frame (loot)
- Glass
- Accessories (lock, handle, hinges)
- Dobory (extenders of a box of a door)
- Platbands on both sides (5 rails), on one side (2.5 rails)
- Threshold
Is it necessary to install a door threshold?
Typically, thresholds are installed in bathrooms to prevent water from leaking into the living space or in those doorways where the floors of the rooms are at different levels. Installing a threshold is required only in extreme cases, since it prevents the full circulation of air in the bathrooms. In other cases, it is not recommended to set the threshold, because it interferes both in the room itself and in its cleaning. Wooden thresholds or thresholds made of MDF and similar materials break down very quickly, wear out and lose their appearance.
For better sound insulation, it is better to install a special “hidden threshold”. This is a design that is cut into the lower end of the door. When closing, the “hidden threshold” lowers and creates the necessary sound and heat insulation. If the door is installed in rooms with different floor levels, then it is better to avoid wooden thresholds, and use a plastic or aluminum profile to even out the difference. In hardware stores there is a wide range of different types of profiles for this purpose. The threshold in the bathroom is best made of tiles.
What are the best conditions for storing a door?
The ideal storage platform for the door is when lying on a horizontal surface or on at least 3 supports.
It is also forbidden to store doors in rooms where there is high humidity (basement, room with dry screed or plaster)
How is the door frame installed in the doorway?
It is best to fix the door frame with anchor bolts, self-tapping screws with dowels, and anchor plates. To hide the anchor bolts, they are usually placed under the hinges or striker of the lock, and in some cases under the door seal. Any gaps or voids between the door frame and the wall are filled with mounting foam.
What is a door seal used for?
Thanks to the seal, the door "softly" closes and does not slam. The seal increases the soundproofing properties and protects against drafts.
How to increase the sound insulation of an interior door?
High-quality sound insulation depends on the quality of the seal. In some situations, better sound insulation is achieved by installing a "hidden threshold" on the lower end of the door, as well as with minimal or no glazing.
Are doors made with reinforced coating for bathrooms and how effective is this? Is the operation of such a door different from the usual one?
If you mean an ordinary household bathroom or a bathroom, then the doors manufactured at our factory are quite suitable for these premises. The finish of such doors is initially resistant to moisture, unless it is a room with a constant release of strong condensate flowing along the walls and doors. In those rooms where the humidity is very high, it is necessary to install an exhaust fan. It is usually installed in an air vent and sold in electrical stores. It is inexpensive. If the bathroom is spacious enough and moisture does not accumulate there continuously (there is no moisture on the walls and on towels and other things), then there is no need to worry about choosing a door with a special coating.
Why do door color shades differ from each other?
Doors made of natural wood or veneered doors convey the properties of the structure of these wood species. Such a pattern is highly valued because it reflects the natural structure of this tree. The same shades of colors will be only for doors made of artificial veneer, laminate or painted with enamel.
How long does one door take to install?
Professional installers can install at least 4-5 doors in one day. Of course, it all depends on the individual conditions of the room.
Do your products have certificates or other conclusions?
Our products have been certified for compliance with many European and domestic standards, namely: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, DSTU BV.26, EN 1529, EN 1530 and EN 1192.
Are there any other ways or mechanisms for opening doors other than the usual, classic one?
There is an option to order sliding doors (“coupe”), which move on hanging rollers without a special guide at the bottom. Such doors can be installed in a doorway up to 3 meters wide. Another option is to purchase "bar" (swinging) hinges that allow you to open the door back and forth. And ordering doors with elite fittings includes hidden hinges and a silent magnetic mechanism.
Which glass is best? Triplex or tempered?
Triplex glass is an ordinary laminated glass that is glued together with a polymer film that holds the glass fragments upon impact, which makes it safe, because when the glass is broken, the fragments do not have sharp corners and edges.
In view of this, in door designs where the glazing area is quite large, only tempered glass should be used, despite the fact that its cost is higher.
Why do some factories produce door panels with a quarter (rebate), while others do not?
This detail in the manufacture of door panels is due more to the nature of the production tradition, and not to any special technical advantages.
If the door was without a seal, then it would probably make sense to talk about increased sound insulation, but with a seal, this explanation is meaningless.
On the other hand, rebated doors have a more aesthetic appearance because they are in the same plane as the door frame. When a quarter is missing, the hinges are fastened more securely, and cracks do not form in the places of their fastening under the weight of the web, and the hinges themselves do not deform.
Most manufacturers, including well-known manufacturers in Europe, rarely sell door leafs with a quarter. It is believed that this is not necessary, and the fact that a quarter covers the gap between the threshold and the leaf does not cover a lot of negative factors and is not an argument for the advantage of just such a design of the door leaf.
Choose for yourself exactly the door that you like and is within your means, and also never languish in thinking about the small design features of the door!
