Doors in the bathroom: the first thing to look for when choosing.
The door is the face of our bathroom, what we see and appreciate before we see the design and interior of the secret room. Therefore, it must correspond to a whole impression. As they say, in repair of trifles does not happen, and the responsible owner will especially carefully choose a door in the bathroom.
The whole thing is in the atmosphere of the room, there is constantly increased humidity and temperature changes. The impact of moisture, as we know, has a detrimental effect on both wood and slabs of fiberboard, MDF, from which, as a rule, interior doors are produced. The door leaf will eventually swell, deform, change in size, and then shrink or crack. And how will our door look then? A sad sight. Therefore, finishing with natural veneer does not suit us.
The following indicators - noise insulation, heat insulation and ventilation, especially if the door is solid and the duct is very small. Therefore, an additional fan should be installed.
Which material is suitable for doors in the bathroom
The most suitable materials for door panels are:
- glass. This is the most recommended option, since it does not lend itself to moisture, does not lose its shape over time, is not afraid of temperature changes. Among other things, glass is environmentally friendly material, easy to take care of, it perfectly preserves the heat of the room and does not miss sounds. Do not be afraid if you have small children, the glass on the doors is special tempered and it's not easy to break it. Glass doors are very popular among consumers because of their modern design, aesthetic appearance and functionality. Such models are produced of all kinds - matte, with spraying, with relief engraving, toning, with mirror inserts. Glass decor can be for every taste - metal elements, ornaments, mosaic, as you see in the photo, and perhaps you leave yourself a field for creativity.
- plastic. It is quite a decent option of doors to the bathroom. The material is durable, lightweight, does not rot and can withstand high humidity. The door leaf from plastic gives freedom of imagination for decoration. It can be painted, pasted with a film that imitates wood or other material.
- PVC.Sufficiently widespread now is the material used in the construction industry. If you are looking for an inexpensive option for a fairly modest housing, then we suggest paying attention to PVC.
- on the penultimate place wood, covered with water repellent composition. This is a classic common type of door, which is desirable to be installed away from water communications, although they are covered with antiseptic solutions and varnished. This option looks chic, but not practical.
- outsiders of our TOP are MDF and fiberboard. Standard laminated hollow doors, opened with laminated paper, can not withstand any criticism. They are not able to protect the premises at all. Do not pursue cheapness, otherwise you will have to change them in five years.
Yes, and a couple of words about the method of opening. In small apartments, any centimeter of the area on the register and the constant opening to and fro is just annoying and prevents you from walking along the corridor to the kitchen or to the room. A wonderful option for the bathroom will be sliding sliding doors. In any case, the choice is yours.
