Repair in our apartment, my husband started a long time - even early last summer. At that moment, the prospect of the Spartan way of life for the next few months is not scared. In addition, we felt that we have a major repair ingredients necessary for the "construction of the century" and accelerate the process: money, abundant energy and rich imagination. But the repair was delayed. One of the reasons - a problem to buy non-standard interior plumbing and doors, water-resistant and not amenable to changes in temperature. We have a small apartment. And the rooms are arranged so that no drastic alterations are not available to us. We decided to "distort": to increase the space is not at the expense of demolishing the walls and just mow down the corners in the hallway and the kitchen. And in order to comply with such an unusual semi-circular style throughout the apartment, we hired builders hacked arched interior doorways, and anywhere - in the toilet and bathroom as well. The project was a success - a spacious and beautiful. Guests admired, happy for us and our bright future. But with one remark: "And how now the door will choose?". But we can not take your bare hands: "The company does not bind brooms, order non-standard". And then came the notorious August financial thunder, who famously washed from the land company that manufacture cheap Belarusian arched doors to order (for services that we so hoped). Calling a dozen companies in the production and sale of doors, it became evident that a very cheap and quite affordable (us) wooden doors immediately after inflation into gold and out of reach. By simple calculations, we found that the arched door to order will cost us 200 to 500 dollars per square meter depending on the size and model. Thus, for a four-door to our apartment was required to unfasten almost three thousand dollars! House with no windows and doors from our childhood toy was a harsh reality, and at immense period. Worse, over us hung menacing shadow of divorce. On the one hand, we - married couples, our marriage a little over a year, and we dearly love each other. On the other hand, the prospect of sitting on the toilet at the moment when the beloved husband literally in front of drinking tea in the kitchen, led me to despair ... And what about taking a bath, if the open (in winter) air vents in the kitchen naked nothing arched doorway gusts of icy wind burst ! Yes, and the guests began running too light on the increasingly rare. Being particularly hard, they make excuses to drink beer with us ... And I guess - is why. Also wise Soviet architects of love for the art of socialist realism planned toilet right next to the kitchen, where you would normally and passes our private lives. A doorless guests not only hear everything as usual, but also visible. Tolerate such misery I could no longer. The husband also agreed to any charges. So we had to still indulge in a daily search of "the right of non-standard style and size" of shops, exhibitions and woodworking plant. Door range of choice flour in Moscow, as it turns out, is extensive and varied. Managers offer doors made from virtually any wood species. Doors can be ordered, say, from an array of native suburban (and nepodmoskovnyh) firs, pines and oaks. And you can wish that your doors have been, for example, are made of exotic wood species in SSA, which grows on the island of Kalimantan and felled caring hands of Aboriginal people. Matter of taste. The same applies to form, shape, color, size and other delights. You can easily get any door - from the finished work of art to the semi-product. Would be money. And - a little more. I found out that the fundamental differences between the interior, kitchen and plumbing doors there. The doors of the same quality differ only in size (a common standard: the height of 2 meters and 2 meter 300 millimeters, width - 800, 700, 600 millimeters). The marketing team told me that 90 percent of buyers choose the door only in appearance - the color and design. If all of the criteria (in combination with the price) coincide with the desire of the consumer, the buyer usually takes door frames at once for the whole apartment (door unit - a door leaf, box + casing). And only 10 percent of buyers first require an explanation. And, if they need it, plumbing the door - they want to know the extent of their water-resistant protection. And only then choose the model for all the rooms. According to experts, this approach is the most correct and practical. After all, if your bathroom has a mini-bath or sauna, then you should be absolutely sure that the sanitary door is protected from temperature fluctuations. But for a start I decided to investigate in an assortment of wood materials, pricing, and that the production of various doors dependent, for example, from the manufacturer, and what is not? Holy smoke, dense woods In my observation, the doors are of four types: deciduous, coniferous, combined and non-wood "in general, that is made from" artificial "materials. The first, the highest category of wood are the doors of solid oak, beech, maple and mahogany. Hardwood is different from other breeds, not only for its natural uniqueness and beauty, but also greater strength. Therefore, these doors the most expensive. For example, the doors of solid oak stand of 400 to 1000 dollars. The second group - a door of solid pine, the price from 100 to 350 dollars. The third group - the doors of the combined materials. They are made of several components: sticks, pine, MDF (fines - medium density fiber) and particle board (Chipboard) and glued over with a veneer of fine wood. Price can range from 50 to 1000 dollars. Finally, the fourth group - "non-wood" doors of MDF, particle board, etc. Price from $ 50. However, the price is determined by the door not only the value of material or a timber, but also design. If the door is decorated with carved panels (panel - a thin board or plywood, inserted into the door frame), or by glass mirror inserts, expensive accessories (handles, locks, lock), then the price of the combined door walnut veneer can be equal to the value of the array. I also realized that the most common material today - it's pine. Sellers explained its popularity this way: it is cheaper than the door of oak. And is that not very much inferior in its durability. Here, let's face it. I talked with experts and greatly surprised when the consultants gave me a diametrically opposing views in assessing the strength and durability of pine doors. Some praised pine doors, attracting a relatively low price. Others with malice explained that these doors are only good for cottages, but not in urban apartments. And especially not in the bathroom and toilet, because pine rather "soft" wood material: that is why she, say, more exposed to changing humidity, can crack and shrivel (in professional language - "play"). I came to the conclusion that standard doors can choose what you want - from almost any tree species, and for every taste. But with non-standard is much worse. The choice is small. What material can make the doors on an individual project? For example, domestic producers are offering, usually oak ($ ??200 per square meter) and pine (100 dollars). More in this range is rather poor very doors of MDF (70 dollars). The impression is that our doors are taken to make to order only the most "available" materials at hand. Many sellers are advised to order the doors from MDF: "Of course, this is not a tree, but only (a special technology) pressed fallow paper. However, this material is never deformed. Even cheaper would be ... "Who is right? I personally, as we know, we need the doors to order. So I went to the company's production department, where such doors are doing on an individual project. That's where I feel the difference between pine and MDF. Here, the doors of MDF manufactured by German technology. That is, a firm purchasing the imported material (wood canvas, paints and varnishes), is engaged only in assembling and handling of doors. To prevent the door from the changes in temperature and humidity, they are treated special five-layer coating. Technology is as follows: first blade bulldoze (the primary purpose of primers - creating a firm grip of the upper layers of coating with the painted surface). Then the second and third layer is applied special primer - filler. Then coated with high polishing enamel, with an intermediate grinding after each layer. Thus, the fabric of the MDP is reliably protected from moisture, and the door surface is smooth, smooth and look like plastic. Door of the German technology costs from $ 220. Pine door looks different. The door to the touch too smooth, preserving the surface image of the tree and divorces knots. Although just what these bitches so clearly visible, many are absolutely not like it - rather a shortage. Door unit cost of $ 250 looks like a ladybug, which is about vyporhnet from the doorway. But on the other hand - this is not the worst, I was struck by another - I saw in the shop a few ready-made doors, cracked, as if after the collision. Masters explained that this "return" marriage. Allegedly, this "pine defect" caused by the fact that more than any other pine softwood reacts to temperature changes. It turned out, the customer phoned in desperation, three months after purchase, because panels were cracked, the door has lost the desired shape and color. In short, we need restoration. "The company warned that the pine tree species capricious. Bathroom and toilet is not particularly suited. A customer insisted, "- tried to justify the master. But to buy these doors I somehow got sick. Who's to blame? Still, questions remained open and did not let me rest: why pine doors sell many firms. And why do they still do not splurge on lawsuits buyers? I had to again explore the "wooden" market. I was very comforted by the head of sales Door hardware store "Your House". He was very persuasive. According to Dmitry, the quality of the door depends not only on the material itself, but on the manufacturing technology. In fact, if you do the door on all the rules, respecting the technology with absolute precision, its manufacturer - is very expensive and very time-consuming process. If the door is warped or cracked in a short time, not even hesitate - the master erred in the process. A door that will serve as your grandchildren, "harvesting" should go a long way special and strictly regulated operations. So there you go. First, any tree species is the most important in the technology of the door and the longest process - drying. Drying is assumed to be performed in two stages. First, the whole wood material for several years required to dry under a canopy under ambient atmospheric temperature. It is from this phase depends on whether the door is then deformed or not. If everything was done exactly according to the technology, the likelihood of deformation is practically zero. Then the tree is necessary to sustain a vacuum chamber. This operation is necessary to protect your door from cracking. Now we should determine the percentage of humidity of wood. GOST humidity should be no more than 8-12 percent, and across the wooden surface, not just in one place. Humidity levels are determined by a special device. Import "moisture" is similar to a thermometer with divisions showing the percentage of humidity. At the slightest touch to the surface, it immediately gives the result. Moreover, it measures the surface moisture of the door leaf. But the domestic appliance, according to experts, it is not such a convenient and accurate. To determine the percentage of moisture, it should stick, like a corkscrew, a tree. Naturally, who wants to perforate the future door? Therefore, as a rule, is only one puncture. Moreover, the device provides results humidity is at the puncture, but not on all the doors! Therefore nedosushennaya door and then begins to "play" and crack. Is that over time, only deformed panel doors. The reason is simple - nedosushka material. If the wood coating dried as expected, the wizard start the second phase - production of the desired shape of a strictly defined size. The final step - processing the door. The door is impregnated, soil, paint. Used for finishing paint formulations. The purpose of such treatment - to emphasize the natural beauty of wood texture, in addition, these compositions have moisture resistant properties. And for solid wood is only recommended for polyurethane coating. Varnish should be applied at least four times. If a door is suddenly "led" polyurethane lacquer is stretched (as it were, "wraps around") and the crack becomes invisible. To the surface of the door was perfect, the technology should be as follows: Treatment of stain and varnish is applied to the prepared surface stain. After the "Stain" is applied first protective layer - water-proof coat. It is recommended to grind the entire surface before application of each subsequent layer. For finishing should be applied at least three layers of lacquer. Processing kraskoyDlya color door use soil moisture protection, and two or three coats of paint on the basis of compatible solvents or water. Necessary to grind the entire surface after the deposition of each subsequent coat. And here I want to say about the "ambush" that await us if the process has been violated. If too soon to begin processing material, or cover it with inferior paint, apply a minimum of three layers - within 2-4 months you can safely throw out your door in the trash. Combined door "What if God is with them, natural doors, order yourself combined ..." These thoughts began to visit me more often. But first, still wanted to understand what it is - combined door? If the door is made from wood substitute (MDF, particle board), then prior to processing the finished form it is filled with a special material. This material retains moisture and is used for noise insulation. The latest invention of Canadian experts - the so-called needle stitching. The door is going out of bars and joints that connect the joints. It was he who, as experts say, perfectly prevents the door from temperature fluctuations. Today the price of such doors range from $ 400 and above. By the way, the buyer can always distinguish the fake from the "native" products just to acicular seam. "Zigzag" should be slightly visible through the paint on the end of the door frame. The price of the combined door depends on what material it is filled with its "filling". Expensive door is as follows: first glue sticks, pine, and then at them from both sides of the bonded layer of MDF. Then glued veneer of precious woods (see Fig. 1). In the doorway cheaper "filling" is different: the pine bar is mounted only on the perimeter, and all the rest space is filled with jumpers in the form of honeycomb. Then, as in the first case, a layer of MDF glued veneer of precious woods (see Fig. 2). Often domestic producers in order to save molded veneer directly on the boards, without the interlayer. So do not be surprised if your door in the bathroom, where natural humidity is high, will get unstuck. Sometimes Honeycomb not put. These doors are called hollow. I, for example, it is easy to recognize a door - just knocked on her. There was a loud sound. If the combined door began to deform, then the cause - of poor quality varnish treatment. When buying, alas, this flaw could not be verified. Door crack is already in your home. Experts advise: If your bathroom is "Jacuzzi or sauna, it is better to buy a plumbing the door of the combined material and not from the array. Solid oak door of course, but the wood even after treatment preserves the properties of natural fibers. They "breathe" and absorb moisture, so the door may warp. Also note - the more the panels embedded in the door leaf, the less likely it is deformed due to moisture. As it turned out, the foreigners have long learned to take care of their plumbing doors. For example, Americans know a great time-tested way to deal with moisture. It is known that after a hot shower on all surfaces, bathroom sinks pairs. They puncture the sanitary door opening. Typically, a hole cut down through the bottom of the door frame. Moreover, this procedure should prodelyvat after the buyer has set the door of the apartment. Do not worry, you will not see the hole. Save a decent view you can use a regular lattice matched in color and reinforced with inner and outer sides of the bathroom door. Our builders have somehow never such vents and the lattice plumbing doors do not. Wooden conclusions So, order your favorite your door, you need to precisely follow the advice and recommendations of experts: 1. Doors should be stored on pallets horizontally face plane, rather than on the lateral edges and in any case not vertically leaning against something, in order to avoid "sag" door under its own weight, which can lead to distortion of the canvas. Doors should be stored in a dry ventilated area. 2. Doors uncoated or coated with varnish should not be kept partially-exposed to sunlight, which can cause uneven browning (zasvechivanie ") blade. 3. If the doors will be installed in newly built or repaired indoors, make sure that all the surrounding surfaces (plaster, whitewash, screeds, etc.), dried to a normal state, since high humidity can damage the fabric. But should be avoided and excessive dryness and high temperatures inside the premises. Leave the door near the heating system is not recommended. Extreme fluctuations in the environment may cause cracking and warping of individual structural elements. For normal operation of doors humidity in the room must be maintained at 40-60%. 4. Before coating and installation of doors is recommended at least a week, it's better for a month, make them into a room where they will be installed, for acclimatization. 5. It should be immediately processed fresh incision sites of locks, hinges, svezheobrezannye edges of the canvas in order to "preserving" the door from moisture. 6. When the coating blade to follow the recommendations of manufacturers of paints and varnishes. In any case, the canvas takes at least three layers of coating. 7. Measures should be taken against excessive moisture, heat or dryness, exactly as they are sharp differences before the installation of doors. In general, to save the door from moisture can be forever. Regardless of tree species, sizes, colors, and its purpose. Importantly - the right look. To do this: check the license of the firm, a quality certificate for the product, specify the warranty period and return policy in case of unexpected events (deformation, separation, cracks, etc.) and check the quality of locks and door accessories. And even then choose a model.

Before coating and installation of doors is recommended at least a week, it's better for a month, make them into a room where they will be installed, for acclimatization. 5. It should be immediately processed fresh incision sites of locks, hinges, svezheobrezannye edges of the canvas in order to "preserving" the door from moisture. 6. When the coating blade to follow the recommendations of manufacturers of paints and varnishes. In any case, the canvas takes at least three layers of coating. 7. Measures should be taken against excessive moisture, heat or dryness, exactly as they are sharp differences before the installation of doors. In general, to save the door from moisture can be forever. Regardless of tree species, sizes, colors, and its purpose. Importantly - the right look. To do this: check the license of the firm, a quality certificate for the product, specify the warranty period and return policy in case of unexpected events (deformation, separation, cracks, etc.) and check the quality of locks and door accessories. And even then choose a model. And keep in mind: if you offer door unit for only a thousand rubles, make no mistake - this is the door of the lowest quality, the door leaf nedosushennoe or poorly treated. So, I understand - personally I have almost no choice - custom-made, for example, combined to produce the door will not succeed. Our manufacturers of custom-made do not, and imported the door will cost me $ 1000 each. It remains to native pine door. It is only necessary to choose wisely, and then - to treat.
