Laminated interior doors are available to the bathroom. Doors with which finish is better: veneered, laminated or with PVC film. Environmentally friendly solid wood

If repairs are carried out in the entire apartment, it is better to change all the doors at once, the collection may be taken out of production, the color of the next batch may differ. But do not forget that some areas, such as the bathroom, have special requirements. Not all materials can withstand constant exposure to water, moisture and steam, but most of the interior doors used in the production are suitable for installation in sanitary facilities, subject to moderate humidity up to 60 percent.

What materials are there:

• Laminated doors.

• PVC coated doors

Doors lined with a polyvinyl chloride coating, which is able to keep the canvas from moisture ingress. Plastic repels moisture well without absorbing it.

• Eco-veneer coated doors

Eco-veneer - modern type coating made on the basis of polypropylene, which is a moisture resistant material ..

• Veneered doors

Products covered with veneer are protected from moisture due to the application of several layers of finishing materials (primer, varnish) to the veneer. Any ingressing moisture will come out through special ventilation holes located at the bottom and top ends, without damaging the coating and door structure.

• Solid wood doors

Doors made of natural wood, have the ability to "breathe", i.e. take moisture from the environment and give it back. The main thing is to correctly set the technical gaps during installation, and these doors will serve in the bathroom for a very long time.

• Plastic doors

The best option for installation in humid rooms. Doors made entirely of plastic are presented in our catalog by the Kapelli factory.

Due to changes in building standards in the past 30 years, we recommend that you check in advance the dimensions of the openings for doors in sanitary facilities, their standard sizes should be as follows:

If you have other sizes of openings, most likely you will have to order custom-sized doors, pay a surcharge for their manufacture and wait for their manufacture (from 10 to 60 days).

• It is important to pay attention to the fact that not all manufacturers make doors with a height of 1900mm, for example, most Belarusian factories make doors with a height of only 2000mm.
• Ventilate sanitary facilities to avoid swelling door leaves and their components, which are kept in high humidity conditions for a long time.
• A good option for installation in a bathroom and toilet are doors with triplex, satin glass inserts.

Bathrooms are among the most difficult areas of living space. Not all elements of the environment are ready to resist the effects of steam, hot air, splashing water, accumulating dampness for a long time. A good ventilation system makes the problem less painful, but does not allow you to forget about it completely. Therefore, it is not surprising thatlaminated bathroom door today it is installed especially often.

Natural materials cannot cope with the upcoming tests. And the model with a synthetic coating has for this:

• waterproofness. The lining does not absorb water even after prolonged direct contact with it. Accordingly, the internal elements of the moisture-resistant wood sheet remain intact;
• resistance to decay, fungus and mold. Artificial decoration is a poor environment for the development of microorganisms;
• hygiene, unpretentious care, the possibility of cleaning with water and conventional detergents without abrasive particles.

When deciding to buy a laminated door to the bathroom and toilet, the owner also receives a wear-resistant, mechanically strong product, designed for intensive use by the whole family.

Laminated doors to the bathroom and toilet differ from their counterparts used in residential premises. Among their features are noted:

1. small size. According to the standards, the sash width is 600 mm and the height is 2000 mm. However, some companies include in the finished assortment even smaller canvases - 500, 550, 600 x 1900 mm;
2. lack of glass inserts in the device. If they are, they are completely opaque. For example, a laminated door to a toilet or a bath can be equipped with opaque, impenetrable black glass pasted over with a colored film;
3. the need to install a lock. The locking mechanism ensures closure only from the inside. In simplified designs, a conventional latch is used instead;
4. often - the presence of a threshold that would prevent the flooding of adjacent premises in an emergency. In modern products, it is replaced with an automatic guillotine nut;
5. use of moisture-resistant seals, stainless alloy accessories, etc.

Modern interior laminated doors can be installed not only in residential premises. They can be installed even in rooms with high humidity. They can be installed not only in the kitchen, but also in the bathroom and in the bathroom. Economy laminated doors class serve as long as massive doors. Consider a number of features when choosing suitable model doors.

Consider the options for laminated doors for bathrooms, which can be found in stores and construction markets. In the mid-90s, paper-coated laminated doors were especially popular. They are not suitable for the bathroom.

Paper always remains paper, no matter how high quality it is. The outer paper layer is not suitable for use in wet areas. The coating can quickly deform, and the door itself will lose its specifications and will lose its gloss.

Laminated doors with a paper-based film impregnated with synthetic resin (acrylic or melamine) can be considered conditionally suitable for use in the bathroom and in the bathroom. Thanks to impregnation, the coating acquires greater strength and moisture resistance. But in this case, it is important to limit contact of the surface with water. Drops can be sprayed onto the canvas.

When using such doors, an acceptable limit for air humidity is set. It is about 65%. It is better not to use such doors in cramped bathrooms and bathrooms. But if you still decide to use such a laminated door, install good system ventilation.

The most optimal solution for the bathroom and toilet is the installation of a laminated door with a double-sided laminate covering. It is currently the most advanced laminate flooring. It is of polymer origin and has a layer of 0.4 to 0.8 mm. It is suitably water resistant.

Laminated doors do not lose their quality at high humidity levels. They can withstand up to 80% humidity. For comparison, in bathrooms and toilets of typical apartments, this figure rarely rises above 65-70%. It is also important to consider that in rooms with high humidity the air temperature is usually higher than in other rooms.

From this point of view, laminated doors also outperform the competition. They can withstand temperatures exceeding + 80 ° C. Laminated doors, unlike wood panels, are practically not subject to expansion in conditions of high humidity. But if the bathroom is used often enough, it is kept mostly closed and is not well ventilated, over time, delamination may appear at the ends of the door leaves.

To avoid this, it is important to ensure that the ends of the door are well finished with an insulating edge that is made of waterproof PVC. Usually such an edge is represented by a tape layer, the thickness of which does not exceed 2 millimeters.

The canvas must be selected in such a way that when it is installed, a small gap is formed between the bottom of the door and the threshold. It will act as an additional ventilation hole that will prevent moist air from stagnating for a long time in the bathroom. But at the same time, you will have to forget about additional sound insulation, but there is no special need for it in the bathroom.

Thus, when choosing a laminated bathroom door, it is important to consider many features, without which right choice will be difficult to do. Give preference to only quality doors from laminate.
