Self-installation of Finnish interior doors. Finnish door laminated smooth white with a rebate. Curvature towards the edge of the box

The door block is not a load-bearing building element, therefore loads from building structures should not be transferred to it. Leave a gap of at least 5 mm between the frame and the building structure.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

  1. Unpack the door frame.
  2. On flat surface to prevent damage to the product, assemble the elements of the box, choosing the desired side for opening the canvas. Check that the edges of the crossbar and the pillars are in the same plane, and at the place of their contact the gap does not exceed 1 mm. Drill four through holes on the back side of the crossbar, then connect the frame elements with self-tapping screws. For a self-tapping screw 4.2 x 70 we recommend a drill with a diameter of 3.5 mm.
  3. Insert the frame into the doorway and secure with wedges (at least three points on each side).
  4. Using a level, secure the hinge post strictly vertically using a hammer drill and mounting screws, using spacers between the opening and the frame at the fastening points.
  5. Loosen the hinge fastening screw and hang the door leaf.
  6. Close the blade, and install the stand on the side of the lock so that the blade fits along the entire perimeter, providing an even gap, and secure the stand in this position.
  7. Open and close the blade several times, making sure that it is installed correctly and that nothing interferes with closing. Right installed door(when it opens 45°) should not open or close spontaneously.
  8. Finally secure the hinges to the screws and install the fittings.
  9. Fill the installation gap between the box and the wall with low-expanding polyurethane foam (when using foam, follow the manufacturer's instructions).
  10. It is recommended to install the casing only after the mounting foam has completely dried. During the drying period of the foam (about 12 hours), the door should be kept closed at all times.

CHANGING THE SIDE OF THE CANVAS

A blind canvas of standard height is available for both right and left. This is achieved due to the vertical symmetry of the canvas.

To change the door opening direction:

  • unscrew the fastening screws and pull the lock body out of the door, turn it 180° (so that the lock tongue is on top, above the bolt), install the lock back in this position;
  • Using pliers, pull the bolt out of the lock body by 3 mm and turn it 180°.

Tools required for installation: screwdriver with a set of bits, hammer drill or impact drill, level, wood saw, measuring tape.

Finnish doors have been in steady demand among our compatriots for decades due to the ideal price-quality ratio and excellent aesthetic properties. What is the secret of success, Denis Krasinsky, designer, told us Scandinavian interiors Helsinki interior studio, which has a representative office in St. Petersburg.


- Are Finnish doors visually different?

The architecture of Finland has its own characteristics: Finnish Art Nouveau, also popular in St. Petersburg, combines classical medieval monumentality with the exquisite decoration of early Art Nouveau. Modern Finnish buildings are prone to natural constructivism, and the interiors are ergonomic and environmentally friendly. The same principles of combining opposing characteristics lie in the design of interior products. Finnish doors are distinguished by the texture of natural wood and simplicity of form. HDF door covering allows for smooth painting and varnishing of the product. Such models fit organically into the currently popular rustic, bio and Nordic styles. More often, wooden doors are matched to the color flooring and platbands. Less often, the color repeats the shade of the furniture.

Today it is customary to deviate from the usual rules of color in the interior and give free rein to slight creative chaos. In interior styles where natural aesthetics predominate, the combination of different shades and wood textures.

- Is it possible to highlight design features?

Finnish entrance doors are distinguished by a variety of models. This has a completely logical explanation: the fact is that in Northern European apartments there is no zoned hallway. Therefore, the front door is visible from the living room, that is, it is part of both the exterior and the interior. Therefore, Finnish doors have wide range design developments and characteristic double-sidedness.

Interesting fact: Unlike Russia, in Finland it is not customary to install two entrance doors, thereby forming a heat-insulating vestibule. The entrance door itself is designed with a double system for preventing heat loss - heat transfer and convection. For these purposes, the product is sealed using rubber inserts, also multilayer thermal insulation material fits into internal door blocks.

As you know, Finnish interiors require as much natural light as possible in the house. Therefore, another feature of the Finnish front door- Availability glass inserts or windows. They are equipped with thick glass with double-glazed windows and argon chamber fill, again for insulation purposes.


- Why such close attention?
paid to thermal insulation?

It's very simple: it's cold in Finland. In order to save money, the government has set limits - annual energy consumption for heating should not exceed 15 kWh/(m² year). That is why doors and windows, even in public spaces must have indicators of at least 0.9 (m² K)/W. Local producers are simply forced to meet these standards.


- Are Finnish products really different?
environmentally friendly?

Finland is one of the cleanest countries in the world, which is included in the list of the most favorable countries to live every year, and this is not surprising. Three quarters of the entire territory is covered with forest, the country has 180 thousand lakes with pure water. The Finns are proud of this and support their eco-status in every possible way. Therefore, not only enterprises are distinguished by a reasonable approach to environmental issues, but also products. Natural wooden canvas The doors are treated with safe impregnations and covered with emulsion paint. When purchasing such a product, you have the right to request quality certificates with material indicators.


- How suitable are Finnish doors for use?
in Russia?

Since we are located in the same climate zone, Finnish products perfectly meet our weather conditions, unlike many other producing countries. In addition, Finnish doors are already completely ready for mobile installation upon purchase. Typically, products are sold with maximum configuration. This not only simplifies the installation process, but also allows you to save on additional costs that arise only when purchasing a door leaf.


Some of the advice is standard:

Visually and to the touch, the door leaf should be free of mechanical
damage or manufacturing defects.
Product material - natural wood, array.
You can ask the seller for a manufacturer's seal and a certificate.
Ensure the integrity of the packaging.
All fittings must fit tightly to the canvas.
If something goes wrong, then this is a marriage that will be difficult to fix.

- What are the price ranges for doors from Finland?

They are relatively affordable: approximately 30-40 thousand. This is due to minimal costs on logistics and the unpopularity of products in some European countries. The main distributor is Russia. The kit is included in the price: no need to pay extra for inserting hinges and fittings, no expensive installation required.


- Interior doors from Finland too
are they different?

Finnish interior doors have a rubber and silicone seal along the contour of the frame, which allows the door to be silent and protects against drafts and foreign odors (for example, kitchen odors). It also helps provide special sound insulation.
Russian doors They have a straight edge design, while the Finnish ones are distinguished by the presence of a rebate, in other words, a rebate.


- Which manufacturers are represented in Russia?

To be honest, I know only five companies that are represented here - these are Kaski, Jeld-Wen Suomi, MattiOvi, Edux, Orma Maccine. The most popular among us are the Finnish doors “Atoll”. But they are not much different from each other.

Door leaf and a quarter white in Finnish technology has a cutout for a 2014 or 2018 lock, door leaf thickness 38mm.

Mandatory additional equipment for the Finnish door block

Economy class Finnish door design White laminated - the perimeter frame consists of MDF, high-strength cellular honeycomb core, MDF cladding laminated with finishing film

White laminated doors with a porch They are mainly used in office premises, clinics, educational institutions, but also of course in apartments and country houses.

The advantage of a rebated door, which appropriated the name " Finca"First of all, it is convenience and ease of installation,this design door block when closed, there are no visible gaps between the door frame and the leaf,A quarter cover provides good heat and sound insulation, and also hides installation defects door frame.

At the request of the customer, our specialists can install on Finnish doors following additional elements- (Fender plate, Ventilation grille, Reinforced glass of any size, opening window, both solid and glass, door closer).

The main advantage of such door blocks is that they are always available in stock in Moscow!!!

Finnish doors began their victorious march across the expanses of the post-Soviet countries at the end of the last century. People began to trust what could be behind the low price high quality. White paneled doors from Finnish manufacturers, who continue to not only maintain, but also expand the niche of their products, are familiar to everyone. Most people want to have strong, reliable, comfortable and durable doors.

Finnish doors began their victorious march across our country more than 10 years ago. Environmentally friendly application pure materials and the most modern technologies, allows us to produce high-quality and high-quality products designed for a long service life without losing their consumer qualities.

The range and color range of Finnish doors currently supplied are so wide that they can satisfy the most sophisticated taste of the buyer. These are interior doors, doors for saunas, doors for bathrooms, fire doors, entrance doors and others.

Despite this diversity, interior doors are still in greatest and most consistent demand. Previously, the overwhelming majority of Finnish products supplied to our country interior doors consisted of smooth frame doors with honeycomb filling or paneled doors made of solid pine. Usually such doors were white or gray. Now veneered and melamine doors have been added to them. Veneered doors are finished with veneer of valuable wood species - oak, beech, hornbeam, mahogany. Melamine doors are covered with melamine, which imitates the veneer of certain types of wood - walnut, cherry, pear, etc.

All types of Finnish doors have one distinctive design feature, which distinguishes them favorably from the bulk of other doors. This is the presence of a flap or a special protrusion on the door leaf that closes the gap between the leaf and the door frame. This design makes it possible to improve the heat and sound insulation of Finnish doors. In addition, the protrusion of the door leaf makes possible flaws during installation invisible.

The set of interior doors includes a door frame with embedded hinges and a door leaf with installed mortise lock, which allows you to minimize damage that occurs during the installation of doors.

Finnish interior doors are adapted to Russian conditions. Due to the thickness of the door frame of 92 mm, they are suitable for installation in any interior partitions. The height of the door frame of Finnish doors is 210 mm, which exceeds the Russian standard by several centimeters. Therefore, sometimes it becomes necessary to trim the door a little.

Before purchasing Finnish interior doors, determine which doors you need - left or right. If door hinges located to your left - this is left door. These doors have left-handed locks. And if the door hinges are on the right, then these are right-handed doors with a right-hand lock. You must be in the room into which the door opens.

Installation of Finnish doors.

The door block consists of a frame and one- or two-door leaves. By design and functional purpose doors are divided into panel and frame, external, internal, balcony, etc., with and without a threshold, with and without a transom, glazed and solid...

Panel doors consist of a frame, filling and sheathing. Frame completed made of timber (slats), cladding - from glued plywood, veneer, solid fibreboard, filling - from small-sized lumber, waste plywood and solid fibreboard, paper honeycomb. foam plastics, etc. The door leaf is framed along the perimeter with wooden trims.

Frame doors (panelled, framed) consist of frame (bars) and filler (panels). Glass, boards, plywood, fiberboard and particle boards can be used as panels.

According to the design of the door leaves, doors are divided into single-leaf, double-leaf with leaves of the same and different widths, and according to the method of opening - into right-handed with the door leaf opening counterclockwise and left-handed with the door leaf opening clockwise.

Front and interior doors can be solid or glazed. Often near door blocks top part(transom) is glazed and fixed tightly in the frame, or glass is inserted into the door instead of panels.

You can design the door yourself, order it from a craftsman, or purchase it in a store. More durable doors are made of oak or beech, more beautiful ones are made of mahogany or ash.

Installation of door frames and doors. When installing the door frame of the front door, the block is lifted and installed in the opening on a lining made of roofing felt and mastic. IN Lately the door frame is most often installed on polyurethane foam. It is necessary to ensure that the lower bar occupies a strictly horizontal position. Vertical and horizontal elements are installed using a square, plumb line and level. The plumb line must pass exactly through the middle of the top side and the intersection of the diagonals of the box. The absence of distortions during installation is evidenced by the equality of the diagonals. This can be achieved using wedges, lifting one side or another of the box. After leveling vertically and horizontally, the box is attached to the wall at three points on each side: at a distance of 1 m from the floor and 30 cm from the top and bottom of the box. They drill or punch holes in the wall (against the side of the box) and hammer wooden plugs into them to a depth of 40-50mm. install the box and drive nails into the corks, the heads are recessed into the wood by at least 2 mm. Instead of nails, you can use steel pins with a diameter of 8-10 mm; the diameter of the holes for them should be 2-3 mm less than the diameter of the pins.

The gaps when installing between the wall and the frame are caulked with dry or wet method. With the dry method, the gaps are filled with dry tow, slag or glass wool and sealed. When wet - the materials are moistened in gypsum dough (it is prepared in small portions- from 0.2 to 0.5 l). As it hardens, wet plaster expands and presses more tightly against the wall and beam, protecting the gap from blowing through.

When installing paneled trim outer door made from simple and figured bars. Kalevki are selected on a harness or on separate bars. They form a groove 15-20mm deep. where panels up to 50 mm thick are inserted.

Internal doors, depending on their purpose, can be solid or lattice. Frames for internal doors are less massive and consist of three bars - two vertical and an upper one. When installing doors in internal walls openings are made without quarters. The door frame in the partitions is pulled out to one side of the doorway to the thickness of the plaster so that during installation the platband is adjacent to the frame and the wall. When the thickness of the partition is less than the width of the door frame, nail a block with a thickness equal to the difference in the thicknesses of the partition and frame. If the thickness of the partition is greater than the width of the door frame, a block of appropriate thickness is nailed with inside boxes.

If, during installation, you additionally connect the door bars with dowels (wooden pins), the door becomes stronger. The diameter of the holes for the dowels is 10-15mm. Pins are made from hardwood. The dowels are fastened using glue.

The doors are installed on hinges selected according to size. Most often, two hinges are installed on the door leaf, but in some cases, when the door is made of heavy wood, three hinges are installed. Under no circumstances should hinges be installed on the horizontal bars of the door trim.

Binders and doors are hung on hinges different designs, more often - half-hinged and hinged. Half-hinged hinges consist of two card halves; in one a rod or axis is attached, in the other a hinge in the form of a cap is attached. Such loops are always removable; their cards can be easily separated. To reduce friction between them, a ring is put on the rod, usually bronze (can be copper or brass). Each card has three to four holes for screws (a hinge has six to eight holes), and sometimes more. The height of such loops is 75-50 mm, the width of the card is 30-45 mm.

Hinge hinges are made blind and removable; the latter have a tip screwed onto one end of the rod. The height of the loops is 75-25 mm, the width of the card is 30-35 mm. Binders and doors are installed on such hinges. Hinge hinges of smaller sizes are used for vents. The dimensions of the loops are determined based on the massiveness of the products, the sizes of the bars of the boxes and straps.

The screw shaft should fit fairly tightly into the hinge hole, and its head into the countersunk hole. When the head of the screw protrudes above the countersunk hole, the doors will spring back and not close tightly.

During installation, screws with flat or countersunk, semicircular or semi-countersunk heads are used: the first type of screws is for all types of work, the second and third are for fastening handles, add-on locks and other devices, that is, where the protruding heads will not interfere with the tight rebate of the sashes door frames.

When installing or replacing collapsible hinges, you must remember that the hinges can be left-handed or right-handed - they are not interchangeable. New loops should have the same direction as the old ones.

When installing, to determine the direction of the door, you need to open it towards yourself - the door will be left-handed or right-handed, depending on which hand is on the door handle. There is a rule that makes it easier to remember: the right door opens counterclockwise.

The work of installing hinges is carried out in the following sequence: the hinge is placed on the sash or door at a distance from the edge, equal to length loops. Mark the places for the loops. Using a chisel, cut wood to the thickness of the hinge card and attach it with screws so that its axis is parallel to the edge of the block. Having secured the hinges on the sash or door, they are opened, placed against the box, pressing tightly against the top bar, and outlined according to the open cards, leaving marks for the hinges on the quarters. Based on the risks, select the wood for the hinge maps, mark the locations for the screws, install each hinge with one screw, and check how the sash or door closes. If necessary, make corrections and strengthen the hinges with screws.

When installing doors in a frame, it is especially important to fit the door to the quarter. A hung door should not spring when opening and closing, but should rotate freely on its hinges.

The handles are also secured with screws. The gaps between the door frames and the wall are covered with slotted boards.

After installing the door block, the leaf is removed from the hinges so as not to damage it during finishing works. Upon completion of the finishing of the room, door blocks in the openings of plastered walls and partitions are lined with platbands at the level of the wall plane.

Installation ready-made kit. A door set usually consists of three elements: a door leaf with a built-in lock and latch, a door frame with a door stopper and hinges, and platbands fitted to a miter joint. Finnish doors have a strong reputation in our market; they are seriously competed by French products, which has a special grace.

Modern interior door can be made of chipboard or fibreboard, aluminum and plastic (PVC), etc. Door frames are also made of different materials.

In a finished door kit, the hardest work is done at the factory. The jambs and lintels are profiled and drilled for assembly. The doors have hinges installed and the lock is in place. All that remains is to assemble the components and install the kit in a new doorway or in an old opening from which the door and frame fastening have been removed. The assembly principles are the same for all door sets. The difference lies in the completeness of the assembly of the supplied package. The box may come in a set of individual elements, separate platbands, or maybe it’s all already assembled.

Before starting, measure the height and width of the opening, as well as the thickness of the wall. Door frames are supplied in sets depending on the wall thickness. Before installation, you need to decide which side of the wall the door will open to and whether it will open to the left or to the right. It is very important when installing a door block - and this depends on your qualifications - to place the frame correctly in the doorway. If the frame is slightly skewed or does not fit tightly into the opening, the door will not open and close correctly. And you are unlikely to be able to install the door without damaging its appearance. So, you need to start from the loop side of the box. If you installed this jamb correctly and fit it tightly, then install top bar and the opposite jamb is not at all difficult.

The canvas, platbands and parts of the frame facing the room have already been finished (paint, varnish, veneer, etc.), but the wood facing the inner edge of the opening is usually not processed.

The door frame is assembled as follows: first, connect three sections of the door frame and door casing, passing the plastic tenons on the jambs into the plastic grooves on the lintel. Then press the components together until their corners connect correctly. The box is fastened by inserting bolts into drilled holes and tightening them with nuts.

After this, the assembled box is placed in the doorway. The spaces between the jambs and the wall should be the same on both sides. The platband is pressed tightly against the wall. Using a plumb line or level, make sure that the hinge jamb is plumb and does not deviate to the side.

Working from the other side of the doorway, insert the seal between the hinge jamb and the wall at the level of all three hinge pins. Holes are drilled in the untreated surface of the hinge jamb at the level of each hinge. If the wall is concrete or brick, then drill the wall and insert plugs into the holes. Then install the jamb to the wall with No. 10 screws. The screws must be long enough to grip the jamb, seal and penetrate the wall at least 25 mm

Doors are hung as follows: the door is lowered at right angles to the plane of the opening with three hinge sockets screwed to the door onto the corresponding hinge pins of the jamb. Install handles and handle caps on both sides of the door, close the door, adjust the position of the loose jamb, and then insert weather stripping between the jamb and the wall. The second jamb is secured to the wall in the same way.

In order to cut the trim to size, the inner edge of one of its sections is inserted into the corresponding groove in the door stopper of the frame. If a gap forms between the platband and the wall, then the surface of the platband is adjusted with a plane.

Do the same with other sections.

The platbands are strengthened during installation as follows: three sections of the platbands are connected in the same way as the sections of the box; spread with the necessary glue (PVA, assembly adhesives Liquid, Nails, Dap, the Nail, etc.) the raw surface of the frame along the jambs and lintel, then push the assembled trim into the door frame. When installing, the inner sides of the platband are firmly pressed against the groove assembled box. Cut three spacers from a block (or boards) the width of the doorway. It is necessary to place a soft cloth under the ends of the bars so as not to damage the varnished surface of the casing. Then spacers are wedged between the sections of the casing lubricated with glue. This will hold the trim securely in place until the glue dries.

Entrance and interior doors. Finnish doors

Finnish doors have been quite popular for many years. Previously, they were only available to some people. But now they can be found absolutely everywhere: in cafes, restaurants, in apartments. These doors have already managed to occupy a certain niche of this market and study the Russian consumer.

Finnish doors have managed to show that they are very reliable and of high quality. They worked on the manufacturing technology of these doors for a very long time. And this brought the production of Finnish doors to a new - European level. They became sold in all countries.
One of the differences between Finnish doors is their strict design in a palette with fairly cool shades. The abundance of different models allows each buyer to find what he needs. But some people don't want to buy Finnish doors because they think their design is a little "stingy".

The most important advantage over other doors is ease of installation. All necessary holes are made by the manufacturer itself. The width of the door frame is 9 cm, the height is 210 cm. These parameters are suitable for Russian apartments, although sometimes you have to trim the door a little or increase the opening itself.

If you decide to give preference to purchasing Finnish doors, then when purchasing you need to look at the certificate of conformity issued to the manufacturing company and whether it has a corresponding seal and a stamp on the end of the door itself.

- Price and Quality are current

Have you decided to buy interior doors? then think about several points: the price that suits you, the desired door opening option, design, dimensions and the presence of additional doors similar in design to the doors.
It wouldn’t hurt to immediately think through the design of the doors. It is necessary to take into account that Sami wooden doors are expensive, but at the same time, they can become a real decoration of the interior. The elegance, variety of shapes and service life of such doors (massive doors can be repaired) speaks for itself. If your goal is to buy interior doors that are durable and flawless in operation, you need to know the manufacturers’ strict adherence to all cycles technological process during their manufacture. The quality of the materials used by the craftsmen also plays an important role. To mark high quality, some companies put their logo on the product.
Interior doors made from combined materials, such as MDF. They look great, are durable and are virtually equal in quality wooden door. But the plus is that their reaction to changes in humidity in the room is much less. The price of an MDF door depends on the type of veneer wood used for finishing. At the same time, the type of material does not affect the quality of the door itself; it gives the door leaf a shade and texture.
There are also hollow, so-called honeycomb filling, doors. The outer panel is specially formed. Such as masonite interior doors are less durable and require more careful operation. They exist both already covered with veneer, and simply in a primed form. The latter are suitable for people with a more creative approach, as they allow you to paint the interior as you like.

The door frame can be made from either solid wood or chipboard or MDF. It is wood, despite its popularity among buyers, that is less practical. The array can become damaged over time, and there is also a risk of changes in linear dimensions. Modern materials, made to look like wood, not only exceed physical properties array, but also by appearance, sometimes superior to natural wood. At the same time, the technology for installing boxes of different materials will be completely different.

Certification is not provided for interior doors. And it is quite difficult to determine the quality of the material from which the door leaf is made by eye. Experts recommend buying a door from trusted, serious companies, or from an already established and proven brand.

Processed

Door designs perform different tasks. They have one unifying factor - this is a durable product that is installed once for many years. When choosing paintings, quality comes first.

One of the high-quality examples of interior models are varieties of Finnish doors. They have been supplied to Russia since 1992 and still do not lose their leading positions. Scandinavian style products are simplicity of design and quality.

Finnish doors are lightweight and therefore do not load the hinges. The frame does not sag or deform, which significantly extends its service life.

In their work, enterprises use only environmentally friendly wood, not treated with chemicals.

The canvases are easy to assemble, which does not require special technical knowledge. They are fully equipped to install the structure. There is no complicated work on inserting fittings - hinges and locks are already installed, and holes are made in the door frame for fasteners. Thanks to the use of an internal pine frame, they retain their original shape for a long time.

The products have a rebate - a protruding part of the door leaf that covers the gap between it and the door frame. This creates the tightest fit, additional sound insulation, protection from drafts, and also gives elegance to the entire door structure, aesthetically hiding the door gap.

If desired, the products are filled with insulation and supplied with all the necessary fittings. Cleans quickly and without problems aids from dust and dirt.

Manufacturing technology

Door designs have unusual technology manufacturing, which made them popular. She gave them a lightness that is not found in products from other manufacturers. The secret is to use an internal honeycomb cardboard core, which is attached to a frame made of pine timber. This entire structure is covered with MDF. A narthex is cut out along the entire perimeter, then paint is applied in several layers and locks with hinges are inserted.

The last stage - on Finnish doors with a rebate, the necessary holes are made for the fittings, which in the future significantly reduces installation time, making installation much easier.

Attention! Only on genuine door products there is a false strip on the panel.

Advantages of models from Finland

The main advantage of Finnish brands is their undeniable quality. Others positive properties are:

  • wear resistance.
  • strength;
  • safety;
  • durability;
  • high noise insulation;
  • high quality raw materials;
  • ease of architectural solution;
  • decent value for money;
  • environmental friendliness of materials;
  • large selection of sizes;
  • moisture resistance;
  • maintaining its original geometry.

All this makes Finnish products accessible to every family.

Types and materials

Finnish interior doors by use facing material are divided into:

  1. Panel or frame. Made from solid pine. They are distinguished by their durability. Requires more careful care.
  2. Paneled. Most often they are made from expensive types of wood - oak, walnut. The material goes through complex processing stages. The most expensive kind of all model range. The products look noble and elegant. They have a long service life.
  3. Smooth. There are painted, veneered or laminated. Imitate the texture of various types of natural wood. The canvas itself consists of several layers of HDF or MDF boards. This increases wear resistance many times over.
  4. Pine. They are resistant to various types damage.
  5. A separate line presents designs for saunas and baths. Glass of various color options with the possibility of applying a pattern will decorate wet bath rooms.

By design door leaves there are single-leaf and bi-leaf ones.

Lightweight sheets, depending on the type of material used for honeycomb filling, can be:

  • moisture resistant;
  • fire protection;
  • soundproofing.

Doors with such filling are very light due to their design. Their surface is framed by MDF sheets (may have a pressed pattern). They can be installed in the kitchen and are not afraid of humidity, fumes or temperature changes.

Dimensions

The advantage of Finnish doors is that their size can be adjusted if desired. The block is removed from below, the blade is sawed and the block is inserted back, thus achieving the required size of the blade.

You can avoid additional routine work if you initially agree required dimensions with the supplier. Finnish products comply modular system. One module is 100 mm of the door frame. The popular sizes for openings are 900 x 2100, 1000 x 2100 mm.

Design

Door designs may vary in appearance. They are often characterized by the use of strict design with no frills. For example, sleek classic doors come in white or gray. But if desired, some companies individual order They paint white door leaves in any color according to the RAL catalogue.

The paneled look has thin decorative inserts - panels. A combination of materials is possible - wood, glass.

Panels have different shapes:

  • rectangular;
  • square;
  • arched

Manufacturers

First on Russian market Fenestra brand products appeared. Since 2014, the two factories of Fenestra Kaski, which was famous for its traditions in carpentry passed down from generation to generation, have combined professional experience. As a result, a new brand of doors appeared - Kaski.

In addition to Kaski, the following brands of Finnish manufacturers are common: Jeld-Wen Suomi, MattiOvi, Edux, Orma Maccine.

How to choose?

When purchasing a Finnish product, you must consider:

  1. The door leaf should be smooth to the touch, without visible defects or mechanical damage.
  2. The material of the product is only natural wood.
  3. When purchasing, pay attention to the end of the door leaf. Finnish products with a quality certificate will have a production seal in this place.
  4. Door structures must have special packaging from the manufacturer. Its integrity is checked before purchase.
  5. If the fittings come off or wobble, this indicates a defect in the product. Everything should be tightly attached to the door structure.
Attention! When purchasing products, you need to know that it is advisable to wipe laminated doors once a week with a damp cloth. Veneered canvases are not particularly demanding - it is enough to rub them with polish once every six months.

The laconic design and external rigor of Finnish doors easily fit into any interior. Products are equally in demand in premises of different target areas - in an apartment, country house, office, medical facility, educational building, even in a bathhouse or sauna.

Finnish door leaves provide warmth, making life more comfortable, improving daily living and maintaining the comfort of home.
