Doors "Capel": how to choose?

 Doors drops: how to choose?

The choice of interior doors is a responsible and energy-intensive occupation. The desire to combine price, quality and design in one model costs many hours of searching, comparisons and doubts. It is still widely believed among consumers that the naturalness of materials is the key to the reliability and durability of the door. However, in conditions of high humidity and sudden changes in temperature a wooden door can deform and even crack. Universal composite interior doors help avoid frustration and financial losses.

What is a composite material?

A composite is a material obtained by a combination of substances of different properties.As a rule, it is a plastic base, the stiffness and strength of which is given by various fillers. For example, wood-polymer composite (WPC) is made from chopped wood (or rice husk) and connecting polymers.

The final product incorporates the best qualities of wood and plastic: durability, water resistance, natural appearance and even smell.

The ratio of the constituent elements will determine which features will prevail. A greater amount of wood flour brings the characteristics of the WPC to natural wood, and with an increase in the percentage of polymer, the web is similar to ordinary plastic.

Many WPC recipes are highly resistant to the effects of microorganisms and aggressive media. Due to wood particles, most composites absorb a small amount of moisture, but without loss of shape and strength. Upon drying, the original properties are restored. Composite material is easily processed: sawing, planing, drilling, it is environmentally friendly, fireproof and does not require special care.

Composite doors

The production of doors on the basis of the WPC is a new, but already demanded direction.Among the advantages of products of this type note the low cost. A very important aspect when choosing. Structures based on composites are lightweight, which simplifies replacement and installation. These doors have a higher sound and heat insulation performance, compared with wooden. They are not afraid of temperature fluctuations, corrosion, atmospheric and biological effects.

Such doors are suitable for arranging apartments, private houses, offices and other premises.

They can be of various shapes and sizes: single and double, with glass and panels. One of the popular brands in the composite products market is the Kapelli brand.

For installation does not require special tools and accessories. According to customers, they had no problems with self-installation, thanks to detailed instructions.
  • Environmental friendliness confirmed by a certificate of sanitary and epidemiological expertise.
  • Durability. Wear-resistant material and light weight even with active use protects the structure from sagging and deformation.
  • Invulnerability to the effects of household chemicals. When creating the series, the doors were intended to be used primarily in rooms where they are often cleaned with disinfectants.
