When choosing an entrance door, most often we pay attention to its reliability and strength so that it can protect the home from unauthorized access. In addition, this detail of the house is a barrier to cold air entering it, and saves heat inside the room, saving the owners money. In addition to reliability, the front door should look beautiful from both sides.
The variety of options can make your head spin. Hardware stores and markets are ready to offer a wide selection of materials - natural and artificial. For example, finishing the front door from the inside makes it possible to realize many design ideas related to its appearance ().
Most manufacturers have understood this trend and offer products completely finished - with decorative exterior trim and insulation. Often this coincides with the opinion of the owners of the house, however, there are situations when non-standard doors are installed, for which such a finish simply does not fit.
In order not to make an application to the factory and not wait for the order to arrive, you can do the lining of the product with your own hands.
What manufacturers of finishing materials for the front door can offer us:
When choosing a suitable material, most often they pay attention to its cost, and then to the combination of color with the overall interior. In this case, the price is one of the most important arguments, since the independent interior decoration of the entrance metal door is based on economic feasibility.
The use of this material will allow you to decorate the door not only beautifully, but even chic. In this case, most often artificial stone slabs of small thickness are used.
Tip: choose a stone up to 4 mm thick for facing the front door, so as not to weigh down the structure.
In order to attach stone slabs to a wooden or metal base, use a special resin. Due to the self-adhesive base, the material on the door and on the walls adjacent to it is protected from breaks and cracks.
The most popular option for interior and exterior decoration of the front door is to use a single piece of stone of the same texture. This do-it-yourself decoration of metal entrance doors looks elegant, resembling a monolithic stone, which will be especially beautiful along with the design of the door portal.
Not everyone, however, can afford to finish the door in the above way. Therefore, more budgetary options for finishing the front door from the inside with MDF panels and laminate are offered below, but this does not mean that they are worse, they are just different. These materials are the most accessible, it is easy to work with them on any door structures - metal or wood.
Laminate is a practical option in relation to MDF, inexpensive in price, with a beautiful and neat appearance. The materials have a long service life, are resistant to moisture, aggressive cleaners or disinfectants.
