Entrance doors with a mirror

In most modern apartments hallways are rather small in size. Despite this, you need to place the necessary furniture and, of course, a mirror. This important detail not only has a direct functional purpose, but also is capable of visually increasing the space.

The entrance mirror is an interesting design move that flooded the hearts of consumers. Such an element will expand the space, focus on the door and save usable space.

A door with a mirror is considered a premium product. Diligent manufacturers carefully make all calculations when designing the door. Due to this, the mirror that goes into the corridor will not be damaged due to the slamming of the door too much. Such a product can withstand the same loads that can withstand similar specimens without a reflective surface.

The mirror on the surface can be mounted in several ways.: with mounting glue and fasteners. Small mirror elements are fixed with mounting glue. This is due to the large weight of the mirror surfaces. Moreover, for such a procedure is suitable only the glue that does not enter into a chemical reaction with the coating of the mirror. Large mirrors are fixed exclusively using special mounts.

Very often, liquid nails are used with glue. Due to this combination of materials, the depreciation properties are improved. Despite the fact that this method of fixation is suitable only for small mirrors, this is what is used in most cases.

Entrance doors with a mirror have special advantages:

By production of doors use various materials. The main thing is that the finished product is reliable and durable. The highest quality is considered to be metal and wooden copies. The iron box is particularly durable and is the most popular. Undoubtedly, a wooden door is a more refined option.

Metal doors vary in price according to type. Such products are divided into economy, standard, prestige and elite classes. Accordingly, the width of the steel that is used in production varies.

For the manufacture of economy-class doors used steel sheet thickness of 1-1.2 mm. At the same time, the total thickness does not exceed 5-7 cm. Often, Chinese products with a thickness of 0.5-0.8 mm are often referred to the same class. This door has low strength. It is unlikely that it will protect you from the entry of unfriendly citizens.

Standard doors have more pleasant features. With a sheet of 1.2-1.5 mm, the door itself reaches 8 cm. Such products are most popular and installed in many people. Mineral wool or polystyrene foam is used as a heat insulation material, so it keeps warm quite well.

Experts in the field of design recommend to approach the choice of color of the door with all responsibility. The most elegant and rich are the doors of wenge and bleached oak. These two opposing factions attract their fans by the fact that they are perfectly combined with any interior styles.

Bleached oak is a woody solid that is clarified with a special chemical composition. After processing, the oak is varnished to protect against various external influences. This product looks especially aesthetically and harmoniously. Through the lacquer you can see the noble oak and its interesting texture. Such products have a matte surface.

Originally, wenge is a species of tree that grows in the African savannah. Such material is very valuable and expensive. Often, the color and texture of wenge is imitated by coating wood plates with a polymer film. The dark shades of the panels are similar to a real rosewood. To the palette are exclusively dark brown tones.

Modern consumers often decide on more ambitious colors. But before you take a serious step, learn the features of the desired tone. Popular options:

• Red. It is the most daring color in the world of designers. Often people choose a coral shade, which is especially important for Asian interiors. Red is combined with black, white, gray and brown tones.

• Green. Be careful with this color. In a private house should choose a tone that does not merge with the grass. As an alternative - mint color. It matches perfectly with white. The green itself is in harmony with the colors of brick and stone, with gray, beige and yellow colors.
• Violet. Quite a popular solution to date. Designers explain this by the fact that the color is quite bright and bold, perfectly expresses the individuality of the owners of the house. Well in harmony with green, brown, gray tones.
