We consider the types of non-standard doors

Doors of standard sizes cannot be installed in all rooms and not always. In order not to leave the opening open, accessible to anyone, you will have to install a non-standard entrance block that is optimal for a particular case, suitable in size and material. The purchase and installation of such a product has some features compared to conventional doors.

Non-standard doors are almost always made to order, it takes longer to wait for their receipt than the usual ones described in the catalogs of manufacturers and suppliers. Installation will also inevitably be complicated.

Anything that does not fit these dimensions can no longer be considered standard. When placing such an order, be prepared to face restrictions. Some companies make atypical doors in millimeter increments, others - not less than 5-10 centimeters. And there are factories where such tasks do not perform at all.

It is also worth considering that nowhere do they produce interior doors below 180 and above 230 centimeters. The addition to the cost of the closest standard analogue is at least 30-50%.

The difference between a non-standard door and an ordinary one can be expressed not only in the fact that it is wider or higher: solutions of unusual shapes are often found. In many designs, atypical fittings are installed, the opening of the sashes and their number itself are different.

In shape, a non-standard door can be arched and radial (curved, in other words).

But also arch is not always the same: in one version, both the opening and the canvas are rounded, in the other - only the top of the canvas.

Radial doors mainly sliding in their format, or serve as an interior partition. Radial doors are sometimes equipped with round leaves - concave, convex, both at the same time, but regardless of the shape, they are almost always made of tempered glass.

The radial door is universal; it can be used in a hotel, business center or sales area, or in a small apartment. Both the sidewalls and transoms are placed in the opening simultaneously with the main canvas.

Non-standard interior doors for a large opening most often slidingequipped with several canvases at once. But it is very difficult to give recommendations in such a matter, not knowing the specifics of your case.

The canvases move both in one direction and in different directions, depending on the design.

Rotary entrance doors it is advisable to apply where a lot of people pass. This is a design with two, three or four leaves that spin like a carousel. It can be set in motion either by those passing by themselves, or by automation (motion sensors, blocks that set a certain speed of rotation).

Braking systems to prevent over-acceleration and emergency opening systems are almost always used.

Door manufacturers have long gone beyond their use. natural wood... They use a wide range of materials, and the consumer is forced to understand all the intricacies of them.

• Metallic the designs are quite original, and if experienced designers work on them, they will be able to attract everyone's attention. There are widespread options in which the outer part is covered with MDF, the inner is all-metal (or they are interchanged). Decorating with forged pieces is very attractive, but remember that it makes the piece heavier.

• Wooden doors non-standard dimensions are used in:

1. shopping centers;
2. office buildings;
3. institutions for leisure and entertainment.

• Plastic non-standard doors can be used in a variety of places, they are practical, and the ease of processing of this material allows you to create uniquely beautiful designs on its basis. In addition, the availability and low cost of PVC are very important for private customers. Commercial organizations are attracted by the ability to easily dismantle such doors and move them quickly to a new location.

It is possible to buy a custom wooden door at a fairly low price, if you prefer a frame covered with chipboard, hardboard or slats. In most cases, to make the design more attractive, even budget products are sheathed with veneer. You cannot count on the strength of the panel frame, so this is more a way to divide rooms than to protect the entrance to the house.

The undisputed leadership in terms of durability and service life is occupied by paneled doors made of high-quality wood. One-piece array is very aesthetic and can even fit into a space decorated in accordance with all design rules. But in order to protect the surface from moisture, heat and cold, a MDF coating is used.

Glued wood is not much inferior in aesthetic characteristics and strength, is relatively cheap, but retains heat worse, and can deform during thermal compression and expansion.

The color of a metal or plastic door can be any, but most often they are made black, white, or brown.

Natural wood allows you to "play" with shades, achieving a very original look. So, the ash mass is red, brown or pink, the color of beech varies from pink to yellow-red. The increasingly popular wenge breed is always yellowish, cherry wood is slightly pink at first, but then it will darken.

The door is not just a functional element, its role in the design of the space is very great. But that is why the door unit's own style is so important.

Concept classic rather blurred - this word can denote both an antique motif (in the Greek or Roman versions), and medieval Gothic, and Baroque (including its most sophisticated form, Rococo).

Country and Provence quite close to each other, but still there is a significant difference between them, which should not be forgotten. In the city, country music is too rough, but the Provencal style quite allows you to get away from any ponderousness and pretentiousness.

Typical colors: cream, white, terracotta, beige, light green and blue; for a door, a white color of a purposefully aged surface is best suited. Choosing country, you can choose both pastel shades and very bright tonalities.

Vintage options focus no longer on simplicity and light grace, but on pronounced old-fashionedness. Their advantage is the ability to harmoniously use in any environment, including studio apartments. However, for the latter, it is much more appropriate to use loft doors, which help to divide the space into isolated shares.

Doors cope no less effectively with dividing it. in japanese style - but they are made only of oak and beech, and are not available to everyone for material reasons.

Minimalism has now won the palm among door styles, due to its undeniable advantages:

• stealth;
• emphasizing commitment to high technology;
• facilities;
• thoughtfulness and absence of the slightest excesses;
• compatibility with any design approaches.

Of course, you are not limited to these options - you can also dwell on the functionality modern, on the ergonomics of style high tech, on the magnificent uniqueness of ethnic motives. The main thing is that the result suits you in all respects.

Non-standard doors for a private house - if the opening only slightly exceeds the typical indicators - these are "accordions" sliding or swinging open. When the required height is greater than 250 cm and the width is greater than 150 cm, an arched shape is preferred.

With a sufficient (from 120 centimeters) width of the arched opening, it is possible to install both a double-leaf and a single-leaf door made of lightweight material into it. You do not have to limit your choice to the option with strictly identical sashes - usually only one is used, and the narrow one is opened only when necessary.

In an apartment of an insignificant area, in order to win at least a little free space, you have to inevitably narrow the openings or make them located at an angle. By using folding doors, you can easily transform a room, optimize it for work or leisure.

For country houses, both built several decades ago, and made according to completely new projects, deviations from standard dimensions are often characteristic. You need to approach the purchase and installation of doors as carefully as possible, the designer's consultation will obviously not be superfluous.

When choosing a non-standard door, you need to take into account not only its reliability and material, not only service life and strength, but also the relationship with your interior. Very high heights can be used in two ways: as a means of visually raising the ceiling and as a way to create an unusual appearance. That is, the doors may not look like doors at all, they are made purposefully contrasting, opposite the walls in style and color.

The door block is sometimes placed in the most prominent places, and then the designer is faced with a dilemma - choose a very beautiful and elegant option, or prefer one that is visually "lost", will not draw attention to itself.

The second way is advisable if:

• the wall is decorated with a pattern of moldings;
• frescoes are used in the interior;
• photowall-paper is pasted;
• a wall with a completely uniform texture is required by design.

In this case, you need to take care of the "invisibility" not only of the door leaf itself. The smaller the handle and other fittings are in size, the less they stand out, the better.

A sliding door with clips can emphasize the loft mood of a room, and even if you don't need it, use color or texture highlighting to create an original decor element.

.

The wide opening of the sliding doors, which is not absorbed by the shutters, will help create a sense of unity between two adjacent rooms. The pointed arch is appropriate if you are decorating your home in the Gothic style. Always pay attention to the fact that the box, fittings fully correspond to the canvas
