Choosing the best bathroom doors - overview of materials and manufacturers

Choose door for the bathroom much more difficult than for a normal room. Due to the high humidity and the possible occurrence of condensation, the door to the bathroom should be made of quality materials that can withstand moisture and steam, and help it last a long time without losing its appearance. But this is not enough: in order to the bathroom does not walk draughts, the door must have high thermal insulation properties. And if you do not want to hear the splash of water from another room, you will need to take care of good soundproofing.

In terms of resisting high humidity, several materials are suitable for the bathroom, which in the process of exposure to steam and moisture will not lose their qualities.

Let's consider each material in detail.

This option is good because the glass door is absolutely not afraid of moisture, is not subject to deformation and does not react to thermal effects. Glass is an environmentally friendly material that has good noise and heat insulation properties. You can not fear for the safety of the glass door. Manufacturers produce products made of high-strength glass, which is not so easy to break in the usual environment.

This material is quite well suited for bathroom doors. Plastic doors will not rot or warp due to high humidity and hot steam. Moreover, they are light in weight, quite comfortable and have a long service life. Manufacturers provide a wide range of doors of different shapes and colors. Of course, compared to the same glass, a PVC door will not look as elegant, but the price is affordable to anyone. In addition, plastic is environmentally friendly and has high thermal and noise insulation properties.

In fact, it can be called a "classic of the genre". Despite the fact that wood can behave capriciously in relation to the damp environment, it does not mean that for the bathroom this material is not suitable. Wooden door will look elegant and noble. And a good manufacturer will offer models made from top class wood, which is dried and harvested in compliance with all technologies.

Doors made of such materials are laminated for resistance to moisture. They can be used for quite a long time and have many design options. Rather cheap and available to any consumer. True, it is not always possible to guarantee really good quality in the manufacture of doors made of these materials.

Choose how the door opens, taking into account what you value more: ease of installation or economy of space.

You can select the following categories of doors on the type of opening:

• Swinging. The easiest and most affordable option that does not require separate costs for installation and deformation of the doorway. However, if you plan to install a glass door, then this option will not suit you too much in terms of aesthetics. Therefore, you should consider that the swing door looks only for materials such as wood or plastic.
• Folding. When open, folding doors almost do not take up space, but their design is rather flimsy and does not provide proper noise and heat insulation. The thickness of the door will also be small. Therefore, this option is optimal only when space is limited.
• Sliding or compartment doors. A very stylish and convenient option for large bathrooms. Requires a rather complex installation and substantial investment. And again, the insulation will not be quite achieved due to the loose adjoining door leaf to the box. But it looks very modern and saves space.
• Swinging doors. They are somewhat similar to swing doors, only they open and close in both directions. Not a very convenient option for small bathrooms, as there is a risk of accidentally hitting something with the door.

Bathroom doors of excellent quality can also be purchased from Russian manufacturers. The most effective and up-to-date technologies that German and Italian colleagues share with us have been introduced in our production for a long time. The most famous Russian brands are discussed below.

When you choose a door to the bathroom, it is worth taking into account a number of basic points:

• The size and location of the bathroom will depend on the way the door opens;
• in a small bathroom will not be very well ventilated, so it is better to install a door of moisture-resistant material. If the bathroom is large and well ventilated, an ordinary door is quite entitled to installation;
• The width of the doorway affects the size of the door. To the standard doorway will fit hinged door, and if the opening is wide, the sliding door will look better.

Care for the door depends directly on the material used:

• PVC doors can be easily cleaned with ordinary means or just a damp cloth without the use of any special cleaners;
• To prevent formation of microcracks in wooden doors, it is necessary to treat their surface with a special compound or polish. Wooden doors should be cleaned with furniture cleaners, after which they should be wiped dry with a dry cloth;
• Glass doors should be periodically treated with special products. All moving parts and mechanisms need to be lubricated with oil from time to time.
