Finnish doors

Doors are the hallmark of any room, so everyone tries to choose beautiful and high-quality entrance and interior models. Today, products from Finnish manufacturers are in demand among the residents of Russia, due to their high quality and reliability.

Finnish door manufacturers have a well-deserved reputation all over the world. Their products differ significantly from their counterparts in other countries, and this is their success.

Finnish products are characterized by multi-layered construction and excellent quality. Thanks to the unique production method, the products are durable and have good insulating properties.

The main difference between Finnish manufacturers lies in the use of unique technologies:

• The presence of a narthex on the central part of the door. A porch is a part of the edge that comes out of the end of the product, thereby forming an angle of abutment to it. It is also called a seam edge. This technology was developed by the Finns to create practical, warm doors. Recessed models close very tightly, which has a positive effect on sound insulation.
• Mortise fittings of excellent quality gives the products strength and reliability in use. The presence of built-in fittings allows you to simplify and speed up the installation process. Even at the factory, doors are installed with universal locks with latches and screw hinges. The customer only has to choose the door handle.
• Prepared sawn-off box allows you to simplify the process of installing doors. It is already made at an angle of 45 degrees, for the desired size of the doors. The box is already fitted with a striker plate and hinges embedded.

Finnish doors are in demand in many countries around the world, because they have undeniable advantages:

• Luxurious appearance products will not leave anyone indifferent. All models ideally combine excellent quality and fashionable design. Variants with a strict design fit perfectly into the classic interior of the premises.
• Convenience and ease of installation. Regardless of skills and abilities, anyone can install Finnish doors. When a product is manufactured at the factory, it is already equipped with all the necessary elements, which include hinges, latches, fasteners and even holes for screws.
• Light weight has a positive effect on the durability of Finnish doors. They are not prone to deformation and subsidence.

• Structural strength consists in using the internal skeleton of the product, which is made of pine. The doors do not lend themselves to deformation, and also retain their original geometric parameters. The pine structure is finished with Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) sheets.
• Moisture resistance doors allows their installation even in rooms where high humidity is possible, for example, in a bathroom or kitchen.
• Excellent heat and sound insulation carried out due to the multilayer doors. Each model includes three main layers: strong NDF sheet, aluminum layer and veneer sheet. The last layer is used to reliably contain aluminum with a filler, which is used as expanded polystyrene. This filler is an environmentally friendly material.
• Wide range of models allows you to choose the ideal option for various rooms, taking into account the interior design.

• single-leaf (based on one canvas);
• bivalve (consist of two canvases).

Depending on the composition and shape, all Finnish doors can be divided into the following types:

• Paneled models consist of infill and support frame. They can be either massive or with a frame. The frame can be supplemented with textured patterns or volumetric figures. It is mainly made from solid wood. The filling can be either wood or a combination of wood with fibreboard. Manufacturers use only expensive tree species.
• Smooth doors include several elements. The base of the models has no protrusions and is not glazed. Expanded polystyrene is used as a filler. To ensure convenience and ease during operation, Finnish manufacturers use a honeycomb filler layer.

Depending on the type of finish, all Finnish door models are divided into the following groups:

• veneered;
• laminated for timber;
• painted.

Depending on the presence or absence of the filler, the doors can be blind or with inserts.

At the beginning of construction work, it is imperative to determine the size of the doors to be installed. Finnish models are made according to a modular system, which has a step of 10 centimeters. Measurement should be carried out with the box.

Doors for outdoor use necessarily include basic elements and a threshold. Such models are made in modifications M9 or M10, while the size of the opening is usually 90x210 cm or 100x210 cm.To choose interior options, manufacturers offer a larger assortment. Models range from M7 to M10, while the height remains unchanged at 210 cm, and the width can be selected from 70 to 100 cm.

Among modern models, there are options that have a height lower than the standard one. It can vary from 207 to 209 cm. Especially for baths, doors with a height of 190 cm are produced, while the width can be from 70 to 90 cm.

If the measurement of the doorway is incorrect, the base of the product is smaller than necessary, then this problem can be easily solved by trimming the bottom edge.

The advantage of Finnish doors is that their size can be adjusted if necessary.
