Swing interior doors in the interior

Doors are necessary not only for zoning and noise isolation, but also for beauty. Oar interior doors are found in the interior more often than other models, because they have become a kind of classic.

Special features

Despite the large selection of interior door designs, hinged are the most common. The familiar version has a classic design: a box and a canvas with a handle are installed in the doorway, the sash swings open to the left or right (usually “on itself”, but sometimes in the opposite direction). The classic way of operation wins the fashionable novelties (compartment doors, pivoting and other options). The practicality of such models is proved by time.

They have other advantages:

  • Attractive appearance. Oar designs look elegant and stylish. Neat design allows them to fit into most interior solutions.
  • Convenience of operation. These doors open and close easily, and the way of exploitation is familiar and familiar to everyone.
  • Easy installation. If you have certain skills, you can install the structure yourself without the help of experts.
  • Excellent insulating properties. Due to the close fit of the canvas to the box (with proper installation), these doors better prevent the penetration of extraneous noise into the room. The same nuance provides better heat retention and protection from foreign odors, unlike other types of structures. That is why hinged models are especially recommended for the kitchen.
  • Variety of options. A huge choice of models, materials, shades and textures allows such doors to easily fit any style. This is a sophisticated classic, and romantic chebbi-chic, and even a rude loft. You can disguise the door structure against the wall or make it a highlight of the interior, it all depends on your imagination.

There are few disadvantages of swinging doors, although they are also worth considering when buying them.

  • Size restrictions. For too wide doorways, single-wing doors of this type are not suitable. It is technically possible to make a model of a large size to order, but it will look too cumbersome and ridiculous. In such cases, it is better to choose bivalve structures or install an additional partition.
  • The need for free space to open. In small apartments, the operation of such a door can cause difficulties. The design requires the availability of free space for its plowing. In the open state, it also occupies some useful space of the room.
  • The need for a limiter. If you do not calculate the force when opening, the door handle may hit the wall. With regular sharp opening, the handle itself and the wallpaper can be damaged, so it is advisable to install special stops on the floor to control the movement of the door leaf.

Kinds

Swing interior doors are classified according to several criteria. On each of them you need to stop in more detail.

By the number of canvases

  • Single leaf. This type of design is most familiar to owners of standard apartments. It is installed in the presence of a standard doorway. The design of these doors is very diverse and allows them to fit into any interior.
  • Bivalves. For openings of non-standard size suitable for the type of "vest". They are a door frame with two swinging canvases, mounted on opposite sides. Double doors are comfortable only in very spacious apartments, because opening them requires a large area (at least 2 square meters. M). However, the luxurious appearance of such structures overlaps this minus.

Double doors are often used for the decoration of premises in the spirit of the Empire style, baroque and other classical styles.

  • Half-leaved (double ended). Another solution for a wide opening is asymmetrical one-and-a-half doors. In this design, one canvas swings open as standard, while the second remains stationary, while the size of the second flap is much smaller than the first. Such a compromise option is suitable if the opening is too wide for one web, but not large enough for a full-fledged bivalve version.

Some asymmetrical models allow both doors to open.Usually, a narrow canvas is opened only in special situations, for example, if you need to bring furniture into the room.

  • Swinging or pendulum. An interesting type of swing doors - swinging. They can open in both directions (both inwards and outwards). The static closed position is preserved by gravity. The hinge attachment point is slightly tilted inside the opening, this keeps the web in place.

These doors are usually installed in offices and rooms, decorated in ultra-modern style.

By type of construction

  • Paneled. Here the wooden frame is filled with panels. The latter are all kinds of inserts. They may consist of wood, MDF, glass and the like. Such constructions look attractive, are distinguished by high strength, resistance to deformation.

Among the shortcomings can be noted only a large weight of paintings, which slightly complicates their installation. Some may consider a minus and a rather high cost of products.

  • Shield. Such constructions may also be deaf or combined. In the first case, the product consists of a wooden frame with MDF sheets.The interior is also filled with MDF or extruded cardboard. The surface of the product can be laminated, processed using veneering technique or covered with PVC. In the second case, various decorative glass or plastic inserts are used.

Shield doors belong to the economy class and are available to a wide range of buyers. They look aesthetically pleasing, weigh little, are distinguished by sufficient strength and reliability.

  • Tsargovye. The basis of this design is made up of tsargi - the same type of elements, which are located horizontally one above the other on the canvas. Various metal, glass or metal bari can give models a very original look. These doors are durable, reliable and durable, but they are heavy.
  • Molded. This type is characterized by a uniform web. If it is visually divided into several parts, they will all be identical. Wood, plastic and glass are used as materials for such constructions. Pogonazhny models look original. In addition, they are very durable due to multi-layer manufacturing technology. The disadvantages include a lot of weight and complexity of installation (without professional help is not enough).
  • Glass. In addition to interior doors with glass in the form of inserts, manufacturers offer all-glass models. Such doors can be opaque or transparent. Various patterns are often used as decorations. In any case, the designs look incredibly light. These doors let in a lot of light, create the illusion of space, give the interior a sophisticated originality.

Toughened glass, as well as a special technology "triplex" guarantee the strength and reliability of the doors. Even with a strong impact, they are not broken and are not painted into small fragments, although cracks and scratches on the canvas may appear with minor impact.

  • SLR. Doors with mirrors are used in residential areas infrequently. Mirrors create the illusion of extra space and can perform a practical function, but for most people such a door design is too unusual.
  • Without a box. Doors without trim are used to design ultra-modern interiors. Usually these are glass and mirror models, as well as doors with glossy processing and options for painting. The latter type allows you to visually hide the door on the background of the walls, giving them a similar color and texture.
  • Radius. Curved doors have a complex structure.The accuracy of the calculations is important here, because the exact fit of the leaf to the doorway depends on the bend radius. Radial swing doors are made of aluminum, wood, plastic with various inserts or without them. Glass frameless constructions are also popular.

Color solutions

Whites

Snow-white doors create an atmosphere of lightness and freshness. Models with glass inserts are especially elegant, although solid doors in this color look no less impressive. White color is easily combined with other shades, reflects light and creates the effect of expanding space. That is why designers often include such doors in their projects.

Neutral

Those who prefer soothing colors will suit the doors of natural shades (beige, sand, nut). Light colors are ideal for small and poorly lit rooms. Like the white color, neutral tones visually make the room more spacious and lighter. Such doors also look great in large halls. This is a versatile option that can be easily combined with any interior and any other colors.

He does not attract attention, harmoniously complementing the situation and allowing other subjects to take the place of the main elements of the composition.

Brown

Dark doors create a striking contrast, attract attention, make the atmosphere more strict and stylish. Usually all models of dark wood are called “wenge”. Noble chocolate shade fits perfectly into the modern design (modern, minimalism).

Black and gray

Doors of such colors are ideal for the situation in the modern style. Black models look particularly impressive in gloss. Door designs of all shades of gray are good in any performance. They are a neutral option for those who prefer cool colors in the interior.

Bright

The door of crimson, ultra-blue, acid-yellow or other juicy colors can become a highlight of the room. It may be the only bright accent against the background of neutral tones (black, beige, gray, white) or it can be combined with some detail of the furniture (with upholstered furniture, for example). In the second case, it is important to accurately get into the tone of the object to which you select the shade of the door.

Do not forget that more than three bright colors in one room should not be combined.

Mechanism

Mounting system swing models is quite simple.The canvas is fixed in the doorway with hinges, and a handle and a lock are installed on the opposite side. Loops can be plain or hidden.

The second option makes the design even more aesthetic. Typically, these loops are used in the design of modern minimalist interiors. Also, any owner of an interior door can install a blade position sensor on it. This element prevents accidental closing of the door and self-activation of the lock.

To increase the insulation door frame is equipped with a threshold. Closing, it is tight to the edging, protecting the room from noise, cool air and odors. If necessary, a maximum tightness between the sash and the rest of the structure along the perimeter is added to a silicone sealant.

Also, doors can have a porch (a special lining). Models with a porch in a closed form have practically no gaps, but if the design is correctly selected and installed, then this part can be dispensed with. Another point - the presence of a special jumper. It is installed on plastic models, increasing their resistance to sudden movements.

Dimensions

The dimensions of single-door doors vary from 60 to 90 cm, and the height of such models reaches 2.2 m. As for double-wing structures, usually the width of each leaf is 60-70 cm. In asymmetrical versions, the narrower sash can have a width of 40 to 60 cm and wider - from 70 to 90 cm.

Each manufacturer offers its own choice of options, while some firms also carry out individual orders according to customer specifications.

How to choose?

To find the optimal model, you need to pay attention to several factors.

Type of room

For the bedroom, children's and bathrooms usually choose deaf wooden models. In the niche for the dressing room is also better to install an opaque option. In the hall you can put a beautiful door construction with glass inserts. Both double-leaf constructions and various decorations will be appropriate here. The kitchen is suitable and wooden, and glass model, and the option of plastic. It is better if the surface of the door is easy to clean from possible contamination.

Colour

If all the doors leading to the living room, kitchen and other rooms are “found” in the same corridor, you can choose a single color for all door panels. The difference can only be in the number of inserts and design nuances.If the room is single, you can choose the color of the door structure under the shade of the floor, walls or large pieces of furniture (cabinets, walls, sets). A contrasting option is also possible (for example, a dark door with a light floor covering and wall decoration).

In this case, the door can be harmoniously supplemented with baseboard, carpet, upholstered furniture or other objects of the same color.

Style

The design of the doors is chosen taking into account the style of the premises:

  • The classic suggests elegance and nobility: a wooden door of natural colors would be appropriate here, for example, white. As an ornament, exquisite patterns, painting and gilding are used.
  • Modern also welcomes natural materials, but in a more modern processing. Typically, in such cases, choose the color model "wenge" with inserts of glass, the original texture or different patterns, but bright options are acceptable.
  • The charm of Provence is emphasized by white wooden doors.
  • Minimalism and high-tech styles are based on ultra-modern trends: glass, glossy surfaces, mostly cold colors (white, black, gray) are used.

Beautiful ideas in the interior

  • The modern interior in beige colors creates a favorable atmosphere for rest and relaxation. The door of a natural shade is in harmony with the general situation, ideally fitting into the concept.
  • Panoramic windows, hinged modular structures and cold tones form a beautifully designed room in high-tech style. Mirrored door without trim - an ideal addition to such a laconic interior.
  • You can dilute the neutral gray-white gamut with bright colors. The cherry-colored gloss doors are a juicy ’accent that gives the room character and personality.
  • Beige gray is another neutral option, albeit more stringent. The choice of the door design to the color of the walls here forms a winning stylistic alliance.
  • The fuchsia door is a bold decision, but the prevalence of bright colors in the room helps to avoid excessive brightness. Upholstered furniture of the same color strip helps to achieve color harmony without losing the lightness and charm of the interior.
