Bravo doors: types and features

Personal safety and the safety of our things is what everyone sooner or later acquires a high-quality door for. Modern materials provide it with the necessary strength and rigidity, as well as thermal insulation. There are many types of materials and forms today. Bravo presents a decent collection of interior and exterior doors for every taste and budget.

Choosing a door that suits your design is not so easy today. This can only be avoided if you buy from companies that honestly and decently earn a good reputation for years. So, for the first time Bravo products appeared more than 10 years ago in Nizhny Novgorod. Soon the company conquered an impressive part of the domestic market and not only.

The reasons for this can be seen in the brand benefits:

• affordable cost;
• wide price range;
• wide assortment from interior to entrance doors;
• a large number of ready-made factory doors;
• the possibility of making models according to individual sizes;
• the presence of doors of various classes;
• sale of products from other brands.

Factory brands and main products:

• Bravo - products with laminated coating;
• Bravo Lux - high quality veneered products;
• Goff - premium steel structures;
• "Belarusian doors" - veneered models and exclusive doors from a solid solid elite class.

Regardless of the brand and quality level, each door produced by the company meets all the requirements of GOST and has all the necessary quality certificates. The warranty lasts one year from the date of purchase.

All Bravo products can be grouped into several groups according to their type and design.

Thus, the company's assortment includes:

• interior doors;
• entrance doors.

The first type is used for installation inside the house, delimiting zones for them, the second is used to protect their home. Interior models are made of wood, can have laminated coverings, and can be made of veneer. For the entrance doors, steel of sufficient thickness, special fillers and an inner sheet are used.

A tambour door is an additional structure for protecting several apartments in one corridor. It is made by Bravo from alloyed cold-rolled steel. Smooth metal sheet provides interior and exterior decoration. It should be noted that some models are embossed, adding special appeal to this practical model.

The advantages of a vestibule door:

• protection of the corridor from visits by unauthorized persons and animals;
• increasing the level of sound insulation;
• no drafts and heat preservation;
• creation of a personal corridor for storing bulky items, for example, a stroller or a bicycle.

Bravo tambour models belong to two-leaf varieties, having one fixed narrow door and one swing door. This option is applicable for a wide corridor. Of course, this door is not always applicable. So, the entrance models of private houses do without additional structures.

The doors of apartments do not have such a variety of seals, being limited to three layers of insulation, which are responsible not only for the heat of the house, but also for sound insulation. Entrance products are presented with external and internal opening, which is especially important in an entrance with doors located close to each other, for example, in small "Khrushchev" buildings.

Advantages of doors with external opening:

• saving corridor space;
• burglary protection;
• Fire safety.

It is believed that models with an internal opening are inferior in technical characteristics, however, they also have their advantages. So, in small-sized entrances, they save space well and allow neighbors to leave their apartments without any problems at the same time. In addition, the internal opening structure better retains heat and protects against noise. Unfortunately, for thieves, such a door is an easy nut to crack, because you can open it by pushing it inside.

The second large group is represented by interior doors.

They can be conditionally divided into the following types:

• classic swing;
• sliding;
• "book";
• "harmonic";

The classic look is doors made with a laminated covering and using eco-veneer. The swing mechanism and comfortable handles for opening, the use of a single piece of cloth or glass - this is what distinguishes the stylish Bravo models.

The doors for the steam room should be highlighted separately. The use of tempered glass allows the sash to withstand heating up to 300 degrees, pleasing with a presentable look. The aesthetic properties of some models are really high, because they are embossed with unique warm and cozy images.

For doors with special coatings, varnishes are used to prevent the wood from drying out or covering it with mold. This is important if the models are to be used in places with high humidity or steam.

Sliding models of compartment doors are also widely represented in the company's assortment. They are supplied, as a rule, with all the necessary fittings for their installation. The advantage of these types is to save space between zones.

Folding doors with a book mechanism are popular due to their small dimensions. Having two symmetrical or asymmetrical sashes, they save external space, folding when opening in the doorway and making them possible to use them in small rooms.

Another type presented by the company is accordion doors made of durable plastic. They consist of several vertical panels that are firmly connected to each other. When opened, the model is assembled into an "accordion", which means that it does not use additional space.

The company presents a wide range of door models not only of its own brands, but also of other manufacturers, for example, brands from China. The Bravo models themselves deserve a more attentive attitude towards themselves.

Thus, street products are represented by Door Out 101 models with two layers of seals, as well as Optim Thermo 222 with a thermal break and seven layers of insulation. Each of the options is presented in several types of interior finishes, which allows you to choose an option taking into account the characteristics of your interior.

The model from the Bravo factory with internal opening is represented by the Optim Inside Economy door, simple and laconic with one layer of insulation. Outside opening was awarded a larger assortment, produced not only by Bravo, but also by Groff. Thus, the stylish premium model P2-200 pleases with the beauty of embossing and anti-vandal coating. Practicality is also endowed with the P2-206 door, which has a mirror insert on the inside. Tambour doors are presented by the models "Optim Duo Grand" of the comfortable class and "Optim Duo Slim" of the economy class.

A wide range of interior doors are used in brand catalogs Model from the Bravo factory, Model from the Bravo Lux factory and Belorusskiye Doors.The most budgetary option is GOST products, made in several colors. Double-leaf swing or single-leaf doors are light and democratic, capable of complementing uncomplicated interiors and delimiting territories. Models "Trend-0" from The model from the Bravo factory, as well as GOST, have a honeycomb filler, however, the 3D-Graf finish of increased rigidity makes them more reliable and stylish.

Variations of interior doors 6G-6S-6P-6F allow you to purchase a door with glass and a pattern on the canvas for a low cost. Models 3G-3S-3P-3X with and without a threshold, continuing the line of the company. The model from the Bravo factory delights not only with a glass insert, but also with a bright plant pattern on it, made using a special technology.

In the case when the door should become a reliable protection against noise and look stately, choose the model "Porta-25 alu 3D" with glass. Made in a variety of colors, they have a furniture board as a base. The door design matches the modern high-tech style.

Moving from high-tech to modern, one cannot pass by the stylish and delicate veneered doors "Lilia" and "Exclusive". Despite the fact that the door is deaf, its surface is decorated with amazing patterns repeating plant motifs. These models are in the higher price segment.

If the interior is made in a classic style, one of the good additions will be the "Status-14" door. The product is made of timber and has a veneer finish.

Romantic subspecies in the Provence style are headed by the painted model "Opera". Photo printing on glass makes it stand out and makes it especially delicate. The baguette, made of solid birch, adds to the mood of that era.

The Belarusian Doors brand presented a line of classic luxury doors with natural oak veneer. Models "Charles III" and "Louis II" are favorably distinguished by their grace and laconicism.

The Model company from the Bravo factory has released a light and airy door "Flori" made of tempered satin glass with an artistic design. She is able to organically fit into any of the modern styles.

The Aqua 1,2,3 series represents door models with a special anti-vandal coating. They are ideal for bath and toilet. The Aqua ½ door with a mirror on the inside deserves special attention.

Folding doors - "books" with two equivalent panels are presented in the budgetary series GOST and 5F. Each "book" has handles-hooks and allows you to easily open and close it, without affecting the area of ​​the wall. Sliding doors "compartment" require additional space against the wall, when opened, they smoothly go to the side on reinforced rollers.

The accordion door made of durable plastic is available in the Bravo-008 and Bravo-018 models. They practically do not take up space, and therefore are well suited for a small kitchen that turns into a living room.

Bravo uses a large number of different materials for the production of doors, allowing you to choose the desired design, price segment and quality level.

All street and driveway entrance doors are made of alloy cold rolled steel. And this fact is already an advantage, because hot-rolled steel products are thicker, heavier and an order of magnitude lower in quality.

Interior models can be made of furniture board, timber or have honeycomb filling. It is worth talking about the latter in more detail, because the price for it pleases, which means that there is considerable demand for it. So, the honeycomb filler is made of pressed corrugated board. They fill the space inside, make the door lightweight and strong enough.However, it is worth remembering that a door with a honeycomb filling will not be able to adequately protect against noise with any finish.

The base can also be an array without finishing or with finishing. Such a model is quite heavy and serves as an excellent means of soundproofing. Today, such doors are premium class, despite some drawbacks. An array of needles or oak does not like moisture and temperature extremes, and it becomes impossible for the buyer to check the drying of wood. However, doors are still being painted. For example, oak and enamel are considered one of the most luxurious tandems in the production of solid wood doors.

High-quality finishing allows you to enjoy the sight of even inexpensive doors. Today, companies are increasingly found in the catalog veneered products. Natural veneer is a thin cut of wood, reaching a thickness of only 1 millimeter. Later, the sheets are glued together, reaching high density and strength. This natural material is beautiful and environmentally friendly, but it is used only in premium class doors, since the uniqueness of the color and pattern of each cut does not allow manufacturers to mass produce such products.

Natural veneer has been replaced today by fine-line... This material is a rotary cut veneer made from fast growing poplars and abachi. Later, the glued sheets are painted in the desired shade and imitate various tree species.

For those who care about nature as well as about the beauty of their home, the Bravo company introduces doors from eco-veneer... It is a plastic on which any structure of any type of wood is superimposed on it, as if on a painting. Eco-veneer is more environmentally friendly than PVC-film, but it still cannot be compared with natural veneer.

Pvc - a material that has earned popularity in the low price segment of doors. This is a thin film imitating any type of wood. It has a high level of impact resistance and is not afraid of moisture, and therefore such a door can be purchased with confidence for the bathroom. Unfortunately, it is used, as a rule, on doors with an inexpensive filler, and therefore its sound insulation properties are low.

Laminated doors are a construction that is also in the low price segment. This material is nothing more than a laminated film. It can be made on a paper basis and be no more than 0.2 mm, or be multi-layered, and, as a result, more durable.

And the doors can also be withglassy and mirrored... For designers, such models are considered the most optimal, because they, delimiting the territory, do not burden it.

The brand's door palette is diverse and multifaceted. Surprisingly, only white tones are represented in nine semitones. Here you can find a pure white shade, a little softer snowy, going into a gray called Alaska, silver or milky. This assortment allows you to choose a door in the desired style. Pure white tones are suitable for Provence, with a gray tint for popular high-tech and other modern trends.

In addition to the white palette, light colors such as bleached oak, cream, vanilla or marshmallows are widely represented. Their direction is warm, gently tending towards beige and brown tones. The soft tone of cappuccino and shimo is also referred to here.

The light brown range starts with Milanese walnut, light walnut and light oak. Walnut is considered the darkest in the palette, displaying a luxurious brown color with a light undertone.

Brown tones are more saturated. Shades of golden walnut or Italian walnut, makore or cognac perfectly convey the classic style with all its depth and article.

The dark brown range is also good for classics or country. Here you can see chocolate tones and shades of mahogany, dark walnut and oak, as well as mocha.It should be noted that mocha has a particular complexity, because it combines gray and brown shades in the right proportions.

The door sizes, as well as the models and colors, are varied. This is explained by the large warehouse areas, which can accommodate all doors with the most popular dimensions. So, for double-leaf models, doors with dimensions of 35 or 40 cm by 2 meters are suitable. Standard doors start from 60 to 90 cm, as well as compartment doors.

The height is represented not only by two meters, but also 1.9 meters, as well as 2 meters 30 sentiments. Thus, the company makes it possible to purchase a finished door for both a standard apartment building and new buildings.

The choice of an entrance or interior model should always begin with measuring the opening. Its accurate and unmistakable definition will help to avoid many installation problems. Fortunately, all major companies today provide a free space sizing service by an experienced craftsman.

To choose an entrance door, it is important to consider criteria such as:

• its location;
• level of protection;
• insulation material;
• number of seals;
• aesthetic appearance.

The key point here is the purpose of the door. If the structure is to become outdoor, models with a thermal break and a large number of seals should be chosen. This will help to keep the door warm and attractive, because condensation will not accumulate on it.

The level of protection can also vary depending on the location of the doors. Outdoor models should have more durable locks, while apartment models may have standard, but still reliable enough. This difference is explained by the presence of an entrance and a vestibule doors in an apartment building.

Interior linens also have certain selection criteria.

When buying, it is important to consider:

• structure and type of construction;
• the width and length of the corridor;
• pricing policy;
• material;
• finishing.

As mentioned earlier, doors can be hinged, folding or sliding. The choice here directly depends on the dimensions of the corridor. For a long narrow corridor, compartment doors are suitable, for a small one - "book" or "accordion" doors, for sufficient space - swing and double doors.

Bravo supplies the Russian market with fairly low-cost products that are very popular. This massiveness also affects the numerous reviews and comments left.

Quality starts here. All products really correspond to all the declared characteristics, and therefore it is almost impossible to get a "pig in a poke" here.

Only the level of service upsets users. Sometimes, due to the huge number of doors in the warehouses, the supplier confuses the details, bringing in completely unsuitable fittings. Unfortunately, the negativity continues after that. In almost every review, there is a call to the company to establish a quick response to customer requests, more responsiveness and hospitality.

Stylish interior canvases with horizontal glass inserts are perfect for modern minimalist styles.

The laconic model with glass in the shade "wenge" is complemented by a stylish pattern, reflecting the high-tech style.

A white blind door without unnecessary decor is made of a noble solid wood, which allows it to be used in the Provence style, complementing the interior with light furniture and delicate bouquets of flowers.
