At the end of the 20th century, imported goods began to flow into Russia in large quantities, among which were interior doors Finnish. They had noticeable differences from the same type of door designs that were made earlier in the country. Further, all doors with a similar design began to be called "Finnish doors".

These doors have three features that distinguish them from the rest:

1. There is a porch. The vestibule is part of the edge with a quarter (or rebate), forming a ledge above the end of the door. The edge creates another additional corner at the abutment, which provides

  • increased sound protection of doors,
  • reduces drafts.

2. The door is completed with embedded fittings. The universal latch and hinges are cut in at the factory during production. Anyone can come to the castle push handle. If desired, a hole is made under the handle and a wrap is placed to close the door from the inside. Due to the presence of a quarter on the canvas, only screw loops cut in.

3. The door frame of this type of door is sawn at the factory at an angle of 45 degrees and is made to the required size. The box also has a lock striker and hinges. These operations, carried out at the factory, facilitate and speed up the installation of doors; it is necessary to assemble the frame, and then mount it in the existing opening.

Finnish doors have been in steady demand among our compatriots for decades due to the ideal price-quality ratio and excellent aesthetic properties. What is the secret of success, we were told by Denis Krasinsky, designer Scandinavian interiors Helsinki interior studio, which has a representative office in St. Petersburg.


- Do Finnish doors differ visually?

The architecture of Finland has its own peculiarities: Finnish Art Nouveau, which is also popular in St. Petersburg, combines classical medieval monumentality with exquisite early modern decoration. Modern Finnish buildings are prone to natural constructivism, and the interiors are distinguished by ergonomics and environmental friendliness. The same principles of combining opposite characteristics lie in the design of interior products. Finnish doors are distinguished by the texture of natural wood and the simplicity of forms. door covering HDF allows you to evenly paint and varnish the product. Such models organically fit into the rustic, bio and nordic styles that are popular today. More often wooden doors are matched to the color floor covering and platbands. Less often, the color repeats the shade of the furniture.

Today it is customary to deviate from the usual rules of coloring in the interior and give free rein to light creative randomness. In interior styles dominated by natural aesthetics, a combination of different shades and wood textures.

- Is it possible to highlight the features in the design?

Finnish entrance doors are distinguished by the variability of models. This has a completely logical explanation: the fact is that in the apartments of Northern Europe there is no zoned hallway. Therefore, the front door is visible from the living room, that is, it is part of both the exterior and the interior. Therefore, Finnish doors have a wide range of design developments and a characteristic double-sidedness.

Interesting fact: Unlike Russia, in Finland it is not customary to install two entrance doors, thereby forming a heat-insulating vestibule. The entrance door itself is designed with a dual heat loss prevention system - heat transfer and convection. For this purpose, the product is sealed with rubber inserts, and a multilayer heat-insulating material is also placed in the internal door blocks.

As you know, Finnish interiors involve as much natural light as possible in the house. Therefore, another feature of the Finnish front door- the presence of glass inserts or windows. They are equipped with thick glass with a double-glazed window and argon filling of the chambers, again for the purpose of insulation.


Why so much attention
paid for thermal insulation?

It's very simple: it's cold in Finland. In order to save money, the government has set limits - annual energy consumption for heating should not exceed 15 kWh / (m² year). That is why doors and windows, even in public spaces, must have values ​​of at least 0.9(m² K)/W. Local producers are simply forced to meet these standards.


- Are Finnish products really different?
environmental friendliness?

Finland is one of the cleanest countries in the world and is included in the list of the most favorable countries for living every year, and this is not surprising. Three quarters of the entire territory is covered with forest, the country has 180 thousand lakes with the purest water. The Finns are proud of this and support their eco-status in every possible way. Therefore, not only enterprises are distinguished by a reasonable approach to environmental issues, but also products. natural wooden canvas doors treated with safe impregnations and covered with emulsion paint. When purchasing such a product, you have the right to request quality certificates with material indicators.


- How Finnish doors are suitable for operation
in Russia?

Since we are in the same climate zone, Finnish products perfectly match our weather conditions, unlike many other manufacturing countries. In addition, Finnish doors are completely ready for mobile installation upon purchase. Usually products are sold with the maximum configuration. This not only simplifies installation processes, but also allows you to save on additional costs that arise only with the purchase. door leaf.


Part of the advice is standard:

Visually and to the touch, the door leaf must be free of mechanical
damage or manufacturing defects.
Product material - natural wood, array.
You can request the manufacturer's seal and certificate from the seller.
Check the integrity of the package.
All fittings should fit snugly to the canvas.
If something leaves, then this is a marriage that will be difficult to fix.

- What are the price limits for doors from Finland?

They are relatively affordable: about 30-40 thousand. This is due to minimal logistics costs and the unpopularity of products in some European countries. Russia is the main distributor. The package is included in the price: no need to pay extra for inserting hinges and fittings, no expensive installation is required.


- Interior doors from Finland too
different?

Finnish interior doors have a rubber and silicone seal along the frame contour, which allows the door to be silent, protects against drafts and foreign odors (for example, kitchen ones). It also helps to provide special soundproofing.
Russian doors have a straight edge design, while Finnish doors are distinguished by the presence of a fold, in other words, a vestibule.


- Which manufacturers are represented in Russia?

To be honest, I know only five companies that are represented here - these are Kaski, Jeld-Wen Suomi, MattiOvi, Edux, Orma Maccine. The most popular with us are the Finnish doors "Atoll". But they differ little from each other.

The door block is not a load-bearing building element, therefore, loads from building structures should not be transferred to it. Leave a gap of at least 5 mm between the box and the building structure.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

  1. Unpack the door frame.
  2. On a flat surface that excludes damage to the product, assemble the elements of the box by selecting the desired side of the canvas opening. Check that the edges of the crossbar and the buttocks are in the same plane, and in the place where they fit, the gap does not exceed 1 mm. On the back side of the crossbar, drill four through holes, and then connect the box elements to the self-tapping screws. For a self-tapping screw 4.2 x 70 we recommend a drill with a diameter of 3.5 mm.
  3. Insert the frame into the doorway and secure with wedges (at least three points on each side).
  4. Using a strictly vertical level, fasten the hinged rack with a perforator and fixing screws using spacers between the opening and the box at the attachment points.
  5. Loosen the hinge screw and hang the door leaf.
  6. Close the door leaf, and set the post on the lock side so that the door leaf fits around the perimeter, ensuring an even gap, and fix the post in this position.
  7. Open and close the canvas several times, making sure that it is installed correctly and nothing interferes with closing. Right installed door(when it is opened at 45°) must not open or close spontaneously.
  8. Finally fix the hinges on the self-tapping screws and install the fittings.
  9. Fill the mounting gap between the box and the wall with low expansion foam (follow the manufacturer's instructions when using foam).
  10. The platband is recommended to be installed only after the complete drying of the mounting foam. During the drying period of the foam (about 12 hours), the door should be kept closed at all times.

CHANGING THE SIDE OF THE LEAF

A blind canvas of a standard size in height is both right and left. This is achieved due to the vertical symmetry of the canvas.

To change the door opening direction:

  • unscrew the fixing screws and pull the lock body out of the door, turn it by 180° (so that the lock tongue is on top, above the bolt), install the lock in this position back;
  • pull the bolt out of the lock body with pliers by 3 mm and turn it 180°.

Necessary tools for installation: screwdriver with a set of bits, puncher or impact drill, level, hacksaw, measuring tape.

Finnish doors began their victorious march across the expanses of the post-Soviet countries at the end of the last century. People began to trust that high quality can be behind a low price. White paneled doors from Finnish manufacturers, which are still not only retaining, but also expanding the niche of their products, are familiar to everyone. Most people want to have strong, reliable, comfortable and durable doors.

Finnish doors began their victorious march across our country more than 10 years ago. The use of environmentally friendly materials and the most modern technologies, allows you to produce high-quality and high-quality products designed for a long service life without losing their consumer qualities.

Range and colors currently supplied Finnish doors are so wide that they are able to satisfy the most sophisticated taste of the buyer. These are interior doors, doors for saunas, doors for bathrooms, fire doors, entrance doors and others.

Despite this diversity, interior doors are still in the greatest and most stable demand. Previously, the vast majority of Finnish interior doors supplied to our country were smooth frame doors with honeycomb filling or panel doors made of solid pine. Usually these doors were white or gray color. Now veneered and melamine doors have been added to them. Veneered doors are finished with veneer of precious woods - oak, beech, hornbeam, mahogany. Melamine doors are covered with melamine, imitating the veneer of some types of wood - walnut, cherry, pear, etc.

All varieties of Finnish doors have one distinctive design feature, favorably distinguishing them from the bulk of other doors. This is the presence of a slat or a special protrusion on the door leaf, which close the gap between the leaf and door frame. This design improves the heat and sound insulation of Finnish doors. In addition, the protrusion of the door leaf makes possible flaws during installation invisible.

The set of interior doors includes a door frame with embedded hinges and a door leaf with an installed mortise lock, which minimizes damage that occurs during the installation of doors.

Finnish interior doors are adapted to Russian conditions. Thanks to the thickness of the door frame of 92 mm, they are suitable for installation in any interior partitions. The height of the door frame of Finnish doors is 210 mm, which exceeds the Russian standard by several centimeters. Therefore, sometimes it becomes necessary to trim the door a little.

Before purchasing Finnish interior doors, determine which doors you need - left or right. If door hinges located to your left is left door. These doors have left locks. And if the door hinges are on the right, then these are right doors with the right lock. You must be in the room where the door opens.

Installation of Finnish doors.

The door block consists of a strapping box and one- or two-door leaves. By design and functional purpose doors are divided into panel and frame, external, internal, balcony, etc., with and without a threshold, with and without a transom, glazed and deaf ...

Panel doors consist of a frame, filling and skins. frame completed from a bar (slats), sheathing - from glued plywood, veneer, hardboard, infill - from small-sized sawn timber, waste plywood and hardboard, paper honeycombs. foam plastics, etc. Along the perimeter, the door leaf is framed with wooden lining.

Frame doors (paneled, strapping) consist of strapping (bars) and filler (panels). As a panel, you can use glass, boards, plywood, fibreboard and chipboard.

According to the drawing of the door leaves, the doors are divided into single-leaf, double-leaf with leaves of the same and different widths, and according to the method of opening - into the right ones with the door leaf opening counterclockwise and the left ones with the door leaf opening clockwise.

Front and internal doors can be deaf or glazed. Often, at door blocks, the upper part (transom) is glazed and fixed tightly in a box or glass is inserted into the door instead of panels.

The door can be designed independently, ordered from the master or purchased at the store. More durable doors made of oak or beech, more beautiful - mahogany or ash.

Installation of door frames and doors. When installing the door frame of the front door, the block is lifted and installed in the opening on a lining of roofing paper on mastic. Recently, the door frame is most often installed on mounting foam. It is necessary to ensure that the lower bar is in a strictly horizontal position. Vertical and horizontal elements are installed on a square, plumb and level. The plumb line must pass exactly through the middle of the top side and the intersection of the diagonals of the box. The absence of distortions during installation is evidenced by the equality of the diagonals. This can be achieved with wedges, lifting one side or the other of the box. After vertical and horizontal alignment, the box is fixed to the wall at three points on each side: at a distance of 1 m from the floor and 30 cm from the top and bottom of the box. In the wall (against the side of the box), holes are drilled or punched with a jumper, wooden plugs are driven into them to a depth of 40-50 mm. a box is installed and nails are driven into the corks, the caps are sunk into the wood by at least 2 mm. Instead of nails, steel pins with a diameter of 8-10 mm can be used, the diameter of the holes for them should be 2-3 mm smaller than the diameter of the pins.

The gaps during installation between the wall and the box are caulked dry or wet. With the dry method, the gaps are filled with dry tow, slag or glass wool and compacted. When wet - the materials are moistened in a plaster test (it is prepared in small portions - from 0.2 to 0.5 l). When hardening, wet gypsum expands and presses more tightly against the wall and bar, protecting the gap from blowing.

When installing, the strapping of the paneled outer door is made of simple and curly bars. Calevkas are selected on a strapping or on separate bars. They form a groove with a depth of 15-20mm. where panels up to 50 mm thick are inserted.

Internal doors, depending on the purpose, can be solid or lattice. Boxes for internal doors are less massive and consist of three bars - two vertical ones and an upper one. When installing doors in internal walls openings are made without quarters. The door frame in the partitions is pulled out to one side of the doorway by the thickness of the plaster so that during installation the platband is adjacent to the frame and the wall. When the thickness of the partition is less than the width of the door frame, a bar is nailed with a thickness equal to the difference in the thicknesses of the partition and the frame. If the thickness of the partition is greater than the width of the door frame, a bar of the appropriate thickness is nailed from the inside of the box.

If, during installation, the door bars are additionally connected with dowels (wooden pins), the door becomes stronger. The diameter of the holes for the dowels is 10-15mm. Pins are made from hardwood. The dowels are fastened with glue.

Doors are installed on hinges, selected according to size. Most often, two hinges are installed on the door leaf, but in some cases, when the door is made of heavy wood, three hinges are installed. Under no circumstances should the hinges be installed on the horizontal bars of the door frame.

Bindings and doors are hung on hinges different designs, more often - on hemispherical and articulated. Half-hinged loops consist of two half-cards; in one, a rod, or axis, is attached, in the other - a hinge in the form of a cap. Such loops are always removable, their cards are easily separated. To reduce friction between them, a ring is put on the rod, often bronze (copper or brass can be used). Each card has three to four screw holes (six to eight holes per hinge), and sometimes more. The height of such loops is 75-50 mm, the width of the card is 30-45 mm.

Hinge loops are made deaf and removable; in the latter, a tip is screwed onto one end of the rod. Loop height - 75-25 mm, card width - 30-35 mm. Bindings and doors are installed on such hinges. Smaller hinges are used for vents. The dimensions of the loops are determined based on the massiveness of the products, the dimensions of the bars of the boxes and strappings.

The shank of the screw must fit tightly enough into the hinge hole, and its head into the countersunk hole. When the screw head protrudes over the countersunk hole, the doors will spring back and not close tightly.

During installation, screws with a flat or countersunk, semicircular or semi-counterheaded heads are used: the first type of screws is for all types of work, the second and third are for fastening handles, side locks and other devices, that is, where the protruding heads will not interfere with the dense vestibule of the valves door bindings.

When installing or replacing collapsible hinges, it must be remembered that the hinges can be left and right - interchangeable. New loops should have the same direction as the old ones.

When installing, to determine the direction of the door, you need to open it towards yourself - the door will be left-handed or right-handed, depending on which hand is on the door handle. There is a rule to make it easier to remember: the right door opens counterclockwise.

The work on installing the hinges is carried out in the following sequence: the hinge is attached to the sash or door at a distance from the edge equal to the length of the hinge. Mark places for loops. With a chisel, wood is cut out to the thickness of the loop card and attached with screws so that its axis is parallel to the edge of the bar. Having strengthened the hinges on the sash or door, they are opened, put on the box, tightly pressed against the upper bar, and outlined according to the opened cards, leaving risks under the hinges on a quarter. According to the risks, wood is selected for hinge cards, places for screws are marked, each hinge is installed with one screw and it is checked how the sash or door is covered. If necessary, make corrections and strengthen the hinges with screws.

When installing doors in a frame, it is especially important to fit the door to the quarter. The hinged door should not spring when opening and closing, but rotate freely on hinges.

Handles are also fastened with screws. The gaps between the door frames and the wall are covered with slotted boards.

After installing the door block, the canvas is removed from the hinges so as not to damage it during finishing works. At the end of the finishing of the premises, the door blocks in the openings of the plastered walls and partitions are lined with platbands at the level of the wall plane.

Installation of the finished kit. A door set usually consists of three elements: a door leaf with a built-in lock and a latch, a door frame with a stopper for doors and hinges, and platbands fitted for a mustache connection. Finnish doors have a strong reputation in our market, they are seriously competing with French products, which has a special elegance.

Modern inner door can be made of chipboard or fiberboard, aluminum and plastic (PVC), etc. Door frames are also made of different materials.

In a finished door set, the hardest work is done at the factory. Jambs and lintels profiled and drilled for assembly. Hinges are installed on the doors, the lock is inserted into place. It remains to assemble the components and install the kit in a new doorway or in an old doorway, from which the door and frame fastening were removed. Assembly principles are the same for all door sets. The difference lies in the completeness of the assembly of the supplied package. The box may be in a set of individual elements, separately platbands, or maybe it's all already assembled.

Before, measure the height and width of the opening, as well as the thickness of the wall. Door frames are supplied in sets depending on the thickness of the wall. Before installation, it is necessary to decide on which side of the wall the door will open and whether it will open to the left or right. It is very important when installing a door block - and it depends on your skill - to correctly place the frame in the doorway. If the frame is slightly skewed or loose in the opening, the door will not open and close correctly. And you are unlikely to be able to install the door without damaging its appearance. So, you need to start with the hinged side of the box. If you have correctly installed this jamb and drove it tightly, then it is not difficult at all to install the top crossbar and the opposite jamb.

The canvas, platbands and parts of the box facing the room are already finished (paint, varnish, veneer, etc.), while the wood facing the inner edge of the opening is usually not processed.

The door frame is assembled as follows: first, three sections of the door frame are connected and door frame, passing the plastic spikes on the jambs into the plastic grooves on the lintel. Then press the components together until their corners connect correctly. The box is fastened by inserting bolts into drilled holes and tighten them with nuts.

After that, the assembled box is placed in the doorway. The gaps between the jambs and the wall should be the same on both sides. The platband is pressed tightly against the wall. Using a plumb line or level, make sure that the hinged jamb stands vertically and does not deviate to the side.

Working from the other side of the doorway, insert the seal between the hinge jamb and the wall at the level of all three hinge pins. Holes are drilled in the raw surface of the loop jamb at the level of each loop. If the wall is concrete or brick, then the wall is drilled and plugs are inserted into the holes. Then install the jamb to the wall with screws No. 10. The screws must be long enough to grab the jamb, the seal and go into the wall at least 25 mm

Doors are hung as follows: the door is lowered at right angles to the plane of the opening with three hinge sockets screwed to the door onto the corresponding hinge pins of the jamb. Install the handles and handle covers on both sides of the door, close the door, adjust the position of the loose jamb, and then insert the seal between the jamb and the wall. The second jamb to the wall is fixed in the same way.

In order to cut the trim to size, the inner edge of one of its sections is inserted into the corresponding groove of the door frame stopper. If a gap is formed between the platband and the wall, then the surface of the platband is adjusted with a planer.

Do the same with other sections.

The platbands are strengthened during installation as follows: three sections of the platbands are connected similarly to the sections of the box; smear with the necessary glue (PVA, mounting adhesives Liquid, Nails, Dap, the Nail, etc.) the raw surface of the box along the jambs and lintels, then push the assembled casing into the door frame. During installation, the inner sides of the casing are firmly pressed against the groove of the assembled box. Three spacers are cut from a bar (or boards) to the width of the doorway. Under the ends of the bars it is necessary to put a soft cloth so as not to damage the varnished surface of the casing. Then spacers are wedged between the sections of the casing lubricated with glue. This will securely hold the trim in place until the glue dries.

Entrance and interior doors. Finnish doors

Quite popular for many years, are Finnish doors. Previously, they were only available to some people. But now they can be found absolutely everywhere: in cafes, restaurants, apartments. These doors have already managed to occupy a certain niche in this market and study the Russian consumer.

Finnish doors managed to show that they are very reliable and of high quality. They worked on the manufacturing technology of these doors for a very long time. And this brought the production of Finnish doors to a new one - European level. They became sold in all countries.
One of the differences between Finnish doors is a strict design in a palette with rather cold shades. The abundance of various models allows each buyer to find what he needs. But some people don't want to buy Finnish doors because they think their design is a little "stingy".

The most important advantage over other doors is the ease of installation. All necessary holes are made by the manufacturer. The width of the door frame is 9 cm, the height is 210 cm. These parameters are suitable for Russian apartments, although sometimes you have to cut the door a little or increase the opening itself.

If you decide to give preference to purchasing exactly Finnish doors, then when buying, you need to look at the certificate of conformity issued to the manufacturing company and for the presence of a corresponding seal and stamp on it at the end of the door itself.

- Price and Quality are up-to-date

Have you decided to buy interior doors? then think about a few points: the price that suits you, the desired door opening option, design, dimensions and the presence of additional doors similar in design to doors.
It will not be superfluous to immediately think over the design of the doors. It should be borne in mind that Sami wooden doors are expensive, but at the same time, they can become a real decoration of the interior. Elegance, variety of forms and service life of such doors (massive doors can be repaired) - speaks for itself. If your goal is to buy interior doors that are durable and impeccable during operation, you need to know the strict observance of manufacturers of all cycles technological process during their manufacture. The quality of the materials used by the craftsmen also plays an important role. To mark the high quality, some companies put their logo on the product.
Cheaper will be interior doors made from combined materials such as MDF. They look great, are durable and in fact are not inferior in quality. wooden door. But the plus is that their reaction to changes in humidity in the room is much less. The price of an MDF door depends on the type of veneer wood that is used for finishing. At the same time, the type of material does not affect the quality of the door itself, it gives the door leaf a shade and texture.
There are also hollow, so-called cellular filling option, doors. The outer panel is specially formed. Such as masonite interior doors are less durable and need more accurate operation. They exist both already covered with veneer, and simply primed. The latter are suitable for people with a more creative approach, as they allow you to paint the interior as you think.

The door frame can be made from either solid wood or chipboard or MDF. It is the tree, despite its popularity among buyers, that is less practical. The array may become corrupted over time, and there is also a risk of change linear dimensions. Modern materials, made under a tree, not only exceed the physical properties of the array, but also appearance sometimes surpass natural wood. At the same time, the technology for installing boxes of different materials will be completely different.

Certification is not provided for interior doors. And to determine the quality of the material by eye from which the door leaf is made is quite difficult. Experts recommend buying a door from trusted serious companies, or from an already established and proven brand.
