Today, PVC entrance groups have become particularly popular, because they can not only attract the attention of visitors, but also give a reasonable appearance to the building. They can be found in any places - in shopping centers, catering, organizations and in private homes.

Entrance groups are a whole system of different parts. In addition to the door itself, the complex includes the following elements:

• a shed or roof can be replaced by a balcony if the house has more than one floor;
• the staircase must be built at a certain angle relative to the horizon - no more and no less than 45 degrees. Otherwise, it will become inconvenient to use and will begin to bring discomfort;
• railings;

• vestibule;
• light sources;
• decorative items.

At times, there are elements to create a terrace or porch. The above composite components can be made according to customer preferences.

Entry groups are as follows:

• internal - in this case, the vestibule is located indoors;
• external - the platform is created outside;

Plastic entry groups also have disadvantages. Despite the ability to hold a large amount of heat in the room, they are not as tight, so they do not cope well with insulation, such as a regular door. This deficiency is especially evident in the northern regions of Russia, in which the temperature in winter can reach -30 ° C.

The final cost of the input group is formed depending on the following features:

• material of which the bearing structure consists. Manufacturers can produce them from various materials: from plastic to metal, for example, aluminum or steel;
