Entrance doors with glass for a country house

With the advent of new technologies, the issue of choosing products for the construction and decoration of a country house was decided. This also affected the entrance doors. The shutters and padlocks have been replaced by professionally made designs, which make it possible to ensure easy operation of products, reliability and durability. The range of design solutions has expanded. Now you can choose different options for every taste and wallet, without sacrificing quality and preserving the execution of the assigned functions.

In modern types of entrance doors, in addition to deaf structures, various types of finishes are used, which also includes double-glazed windows. They differ in size and shape and can perform not only the function of glazing, but also perform a significant decorative role.

Double-glazed windows are single-chamber - two glass 4 mm thick, hermetically planted with the help of mastic on the aluminum frame; two-chamber - three glasses; can be made to order three-chamber.

Optionally, the glass unit is filled with an inert gas - argon, which reduces the percentage of noise penetration and heat loss.

There are improved options:

• energy-saving - chrome or silver plating is applied to one of the glasses, which reflects heat and allows less ultraviolet rays to pass through;
• multifunctional - there is a sunscreen on the outer glass plus energy-efficient spraying. Such packages do not heat up in summer and retain heat in winter;
• noise absorbing - one of the glasses has a width of 6 mm;
• shockproof - have an external glass "triplex", these are two specially glued glass. Or a special anti-shock film is applied to the glass.

When a large cottage is being built, the entrance group is designed. The design is selected depending on the location and direction of the entrance opening.

If the exit leads to the porch - it will be a single-wing or double-winged door with a swing-door.If - on the terrace, then you can choose both ordinary and folding or sliding doors, they significantly increase the width of the passage. If a closed porch is being built, then the entrance group can be used as a carrier part. For this, there are special doors as an auxiliary element, and the doors are completed with amplifiers. For the veranda also suitable simple balcony doors.

The size of glass packs can be different, to the extent that they will occupy the entire area. This makes it possible to penetrate more daylight into the room.

Reinforced hinges and a lock are structural features of burglar resistance. To increase security, there are also hidden hinges and hidden locks. For metal entrance doors, a lock lock or a combination lock — a lever lock and a cylinder lock is best. Such a lock has a lock on one of its parts, if an attempt is made to break into another part of it. The number of bolts must be at least three.To increase burglary add more side girders.

Double glazing itself is a sufficient problem for unauthorized entry. To improve safety, shock-resistant tempered glass and forged gratings are added to its design.

Entrance groups can be made of various materials of different degrees of strength:

Reliability of plastic products is provided by the reinforced profile and material resistance to damage and mechanical stress. Plastic doors have high performance properties, due to the good resistance of the material to moisture and temperature changes. Plastic has high sound insulation performance. In the PVC profile, there are special air chambers for insulation and sound insulation of the structure. To increase the strength of the camera can be filled with iron guide plates.

Aluminum doors are considered the coldest and fragile compared to iron and PVC profiles, they are used mainly for porches and vestibules.

Wooden entrance groups with double-glazed windows are considered one of the most expensive, but they are also environmentally friendly. The most popular types of wood today are pine, larch and oak.
