Doors from the massif of an alder

Choosing interior doors, bought often prefer models of natural wood. However, not always the cost of such a cloth suits them, too much will have to pay for the natural "pleasure." Doors from the massif of an alder - golden mean which combines an esthetics of a natural tree, environmental friendliness, a practicality and reasonable cost.

Breed of this tree is appreciated in many spheres: from construction and production to traditional medicine. Alder is the wood that is famous for its healing properties. It has a good effect on the nervous and respiratory system due to the release of tannins into the air. The material is resistant to moisture, as noted by numerous buyers.

Alder is a medium-density material that is slightly inferior to oak and beech, but is noticeably superior to soft pine. Usually, doors are made of alder, which grows in damp areas or near water bodies. This makes wood resistant to moisture and a damp environment in the house.

Natural wood is especially valued today in the age of industrial technology. By choosing such doors, the buyer gets a really solid construction with excellent properties. Interroom doors from the massif of an alder possess the following features:

• Environmental friendliness. In the canvas of natural wood there are no caustic impurities of glue and other dubious substances. Moreover, this wood produces a subtle fragrance and polyphenols - natural antiseptics;
• Practicality. Such doors have good density and strength;
• Insulation. An alder leaf isolates noise better and retains heat in a room, unlike the same pine or “empty” cardboard box;
• Noble shade and texture. The natural door has a slightly reddish tinge and a unique natural pattern;

• Resistant to moisture. Alder is a unique natural material and one of a kind resistant to wet conditions. This door can be safely put in the bathroom;
• Affordable cost. It is known that the doors of 100% solid wood are expensive. But this can not be said about the paintings from the array of alder: they are much cheaper than oak and beech models. Today, you can buy an alder door for 10 000-12 000 rubles;
• Long service life - 15-20 years;
• The possibility of repair. Natural doors have one very important feature - they are easy to repair. We are talking about small scratches or chips, which are easily rubbed and painted, which is almost impossible to do with ekoshpon or synthetic film.

Alder doors may not have a finish or be painted in a darker or lighter shade and imitate more expensive wood species: wenge, oak, beech, ash.

Even these, at first glance, flawless canvases, have a number of features:

• The large weight of the model is due to its natural origin, so the canvas from the array is not suitable for a thin wall or aperture, which was previously narrowed with a bar or drywall;
• They will fit exclusively for the interior decoration of the house and will not fit as an entrance door. The strength of alder and linden is almost identical: moderately firm, but not strong enough for reliable protection of the house.

There are two methods for the production of alder trees: from a solid array or glued bars. Doors from 100% solid wood come from a single piece, and their cost is different in a larger direction than glued counterparts. The canvas of glued bars is characterized by high strength and better sound and heat insulation properties.In the production of such a web, a strong frame is created in which the wood pieces fit tightly against each other. The outer treatment of any canvas is the same: it is covered with a layer of varnish, which enhances the reddish tint and makes the structure durable, resistant to external conditions.

The choice of canvas is based on the following parameters:

• Size (width X height). The standard is considered the height of 2000 mm and width of 600, 700, 800, 900 mm, with some manufacturers, the standard is 400 mm. Anything more or less of the listed parameters is non-standard and usually costs more is made to order;
• Production method Decide how important it is to you, the door is made of a single piece of wood or glued together between the bars. Note that the latter is more durable and outwardly does not differ from the solid analog;
• Manufacturer. Well established Belarusian factory for the production of doors. They have a great combination of price and quality;
• Finish The door of solid alder may be deaf or decorated with glass, painted in a darker color. Finishing can be any depending on the room, but painted models do not look as elegant as natural wood with a natural amber tint.

Doors made of natural wood have the feature to change their natural shade. Slightly, but sometimes noticeable, especially if the door stood in the house for several years. If the canvas is a little dark, do not worry, it is quite normal for wood and is not a marriage (unless there are spots on the canvas so that it practically does not occur in practice).

It is important to properly install the doors, allow them to adapt indoors for one week and select reliable fittings - strong hinges. Despite the fact that the alder weighs less than oak, it is important to securely fix the massive doors in the doorway.

Careful use and proper care are the guarantee of a long service life of alder solid wood. After the purchase does not need to instantly put them in the doorway: let the doors stand 5-7 days in the room and adapt to its humidity and temperature. Do not install them in close proximity to batteries or heating devices.

Regular care will preserve the natural shine of the wood. For its processing, use special formulations for solid wood and try to do without water (or wipe the cloth dry after wet cleaning). For wiping, use a soft cloth, exclude sponges with an abrasive surface. If there are scratches on the door, treat its surface with wax-based polish: they are usually sold in furniture or door stores, cloth manufacturers are advised to do this once a year.

Solid wood looks noble, regardless of the interior direction, but especially good - in the good old classics. A large role is played by the shape and finish of the door, the material only enhances the effect of high cost and the comfort created. Canvases with a reddish tint look good in a bright interior. Interestingly, the natural redness enhances the processing of linen transparent varnish. How wood will behave after this - will become amber or will resemble mahogany - it is difficult to predict.
