How to choose an entrance door for an apartment: small details that few people think about
Those people who are at the stage of choosing an entrance door for their apartment should evaluate the model they like based on several criteria.
They were listed by the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, designer Yulia Tychino , who is confident that thanks to these tips, protection and comfort will be guaranteed.
The first item on the checklist for choosing a reliable entrance door is its size, which, as is known, is directly dependent on the dimensions of the opening.
Another parameter to consider when choosing a door is the thickness of the material it is made of. To ensure sufficient strength and durability, choose doors with a material thickness of 0.8 to 4 mm.
Be sure to pay attention to the number and location of the stiffening ribs, because the strength and durability of the doors depend on this.
Heat and sound insulation characteristics are also of great importance. Choose materials with high heat and sound insulation values to create a comfortable indoor microclimate.
You will also need to study the type of lock and its burglar resistance - the burglar resistance class of locks for household structures can vary from the first to the fourth (the higher it is, the better the protection), and also the type of hinges, which can be overhead or mortise hidden.
Make sure that the exterior and interior finishes are not only beautiful, but also resistant to mechanical impacts.
