  • Glazed - in the design of such paintings used glass in its various manifestations. They may have glass in the middle, between two external walls or on the surface.
  • Deaf - not to be confused with smooth ones. These doors do not have light-transmitting elements, that is, the light from one room does not penetrate into the other through a closed door.

  • Swinging - standard door opening to one of the sides. It should be borne in mind that with this method the web moves along the axis. The features of such doors include the ability to install on hidden hinges, which allows to level the canvas with the wall surface, making it almost invisible.
  • Retractable can be built into the opening. Installation of such a door is planned at the stage of building a wall or partition, because the mechanism is hidden inside the opening.
  • Suspended - the design is made as the previous one, the canvas is attached to the skid only on top.More practical design and can be mounted at any time.
  • Pendulum - mounted on special hinges that allow the door to move in both directions from the opening, does not have a rigid fixation. Such a door always remains in the opening, since the loop mechanism returns it to its original position.
  • Rotary - the door mounted on the original mechanism, which locks the open door in the opening perpendicular to the wall. Significantly saves space.

The white base will favorably emphasize even the smallest change in the palette.

Artificial aging - a very popular effect, often used in the styles of loft, classic, Provence. It gives the canvas a very respectful appearance of the one who has seen the types of product.

Achieved such a view with the help of artificial scuffs, cracks and chips.

Dressing - use when finishing additional materials, possibly differing from the main door covering. Metal elements, broaches, linings, inserts give elegance, or vice versa, brutality. Perfectly combined with interiors in high-tech style.

Fyuzing - the addition of individual pieces of glass to the main glazing.It will help to emphasize originality without loading the door. Crystals, rhinestones, glass beads will attract the attention of the game of faces, make the canvas more refined, but with a hint of lightness.

Thread - multi-level pattern with cutting the top layer of wood. On white monochromatic doors, it is advantageous to stand out with the right angle of view or when the sun's rays fall. Makes canvas openwork, easy.

Patinated - the same effect of aging, but with a slightly more aristocratic bias. Patina on a white canvas can be very diverse. It reminds of aged remains of more expensive finishes left after long years, for example, in the depth of carved drawings. A light touch of black or gold will only emphasize the depth of the design, the richness of the interior and the delicate taste of the owners.

Also never going out of fashion method of finishing wood products. On the white canvases perfectly emphasize the brightness and color depth, ease care during operation.

Stained glass window - glass door decoration. A peculiar mosaic of multi-colored glass pieces allows making doors of works of art. In modern production often use a slightly different technology - stained glass film. Decorative, painted pieces of light-penetrating material are glued on a solid glass sheet, thereby creating the necessary pattern. The joints are glued with thin metal strips (broach). Also called the stained glass door with maximum glazing.

Mirrormounted on the door is a stylish and versatile solution.

Such a canvas will fit into any interior due to the fact that it will reflect the environment.

Forms

The shape of the interior white doors may also differ from each other. The choice is not great, but it is. The most popular shape is a rectangle.The classic version used in the vast majority of premises. Less often, doors come in with rounded edges. Canvases of an arched look are also used when the top is rounded.

If the door is double, then the shape is attached to both halves.

Dimensions

The standard dimensions of the canvases remain unchanged for a long time, it is 600, 700, 800 millimeters wide, less often 900 or 400 for a double door, and in a height of 2000-2100 mm. The manufacturer can make canvases on individual sizes. Non-standard door leafs can be of various sizes. Most often, webs are made with a pitch of 50 mm, 450, 500, 550 mm in width, in height of 1850, 1900, 1950, 1980 mm. It is not recommended to go over 1000 mm, since such canvases are bulky, the risk of loss of geometry increases. For wide openings it is quite important to use two doors, both equally and differently sized. The combination of two canvases of white doors of different sizes looks very impressive if the drawing smoothly flows from one to another. The difference in width when installing such doors can be made 200-300 mm.

If it is required to install the structure in a higher opening, it can be made up to a height of 2400 mm; a transom above the box can also be a solution.

Materials

In modern production for the manufacture of interior doors use a variety of materials:

  • Solid wood - elite material, expensive, but very pleasant to the eye and to the touch. Naturally, preserving its structure and physical properties. Bleached or painted wood as a door looks win-win in any style.
  • MDF or chipboard - material based on wood chips. It is widely used in the manufacture of interior items. MDF has a lower density than particleboard. In the composition of such sheets there is a special glue that makes them a monolithic structure, giving them density and moisture resistance. Various coatings and impregnations enhance their physical properties. The advantage of these materials is in ease of processing and significantly lower cost, unlike solid wood.
  • PVC - polyvinyl chloride. Artificial base, popular because of its practicality. Such material is not subject to rotting, perfectly preserves the geometry, does not absorb moisture. In the care as unpretentious, if you avoid scratches and other physical effects, it will serve for many years, maintaining its original appearance.
  • Rack or sliding doors. As the name suggests, such canvases are not a solid construction and are assembled from several elements. The most common construction of such a door is a tsarg - a timber around the perimeter and a patterned thinner strip inside the borders of the timber. The advantage is ease of repair, low cost, the ability to adjust the size yourself. From the ends of such structures, as usual, there are fixing elements that can be adjusted during razbaltyvaniyu. Reiki can be both wooden, and from MDF. Less often on this type are made of plastic doors.

How to combine with the floor, plinths and walls?

If the room in which the repair is done is sunny and bright, then white linen combined with a dark floor will be the perfect solution. Light walls in this combination perfectly fill the room with depth. White doors with a barely noticeable shade, for example, cream or milky, will perfectly fit to the brown floor.

In combination with the reflective surface of the laminate, the white canvas will look especially impressive when playing at its own reflection.

If the room is small, then a white door combined with a light floor will look great.This option will visually increase the space.

When installed in the opening of a dark room, the light construction will be advantageously combined with another piece of interior of the same color - a shelf, dresser, chair or curtains will make it an excellent tandem.

On bright walls, an excellent option for a white interior door would be to use the same ceiling and floor plinth. They, like a graceful frame, emphasize the saturation of the walls and support the color of the canvas.

Skirting - great accent in the room. If you pick it up in color with interior linen, then even when you change the interior, it will look organically.

Another method is to pick up the trim to the door to match the color of the plinth, thus creating an outline of the door.

How to choose?

If the door is chosen to ensure maximum isolation of the room, then a blind door is suitable, not transmitting light with the best noise reduction. Choosing a door to a room where sound insulation is not as important as, for example, a kitchen or a dining room, you can install a canvas with maximum glazing, becausein such rooms requires as much light and space as possible.

At installation of a design in a bathroom it is important to consider such feature as humidity of the room. Here the door should be as protected from the effects of fumes. In such places it is necessary to take care of good ventilation.
