How to choose the front door
Before you install this item, you must select it. In addition to design, you should pay attention to other aspects:
- the place where it will be installed - the outer skin and insulation depend on this factor. Therefore, initially it is required to find out where the product will be installed: on the street in a private house or at the entrance to the apartment;
- protection - here we are talking about the presence of an eye, a lock and its quality, stiffeners, etc .;
- insulation - it is necessary so that cold air or noise does not penetrate the building. For this purpose, the door is filled with polystyrene, cotton, cardboard;
- weight - if the design is reliable, then it cannot be easy;
- the number of seals - their installation can be in 1-3 rows;
- appearance - it is important that it complements the interior;
- anti-vandal system - hacking or damage to the product will help to avoid.
A high-quality door must have a quality certificate or at least a passport, in which its main parameters are indicated.
When to install
Before installation, you need to find out when it is best to do this. Among builders and people who are engaged in repairing on their own, there is no consensus on this. Some prefer installation before repair work, others after. But there are those who are convinced that the best option is on time.
Before repair
There is a belief that during the repair of the premises you need to immediately engage in the installation of the entrance structure. But such an opinion is only partially correct. When it is advisable to carry out this procedure before the onset of global change:
- if to install the box in the wall it is required to drill anchor holes where the fasteners will be installed. After repair, this cannot be done, as the finish will be spoiled;
- floor opening also depends on the door structure. Therefore, it must be laid after the door is completely installed;
- in case the owners of the premises continue to live there or store materials for restoration.
Installation of the door before repair is necessary when the old product should be replaced due to the loss of its properties.
Basically, before the repair, new door structures are installed in new buildings.
During the restoration of the premises
Builders are convinced that the optimal time for installing a new door is during repair work. It is better to carry out the installation after finishing the draft procedures. The top coating of the product will provide protection against minor contamination. Then you can proceed to redecorating.
Installation of the door structure should be carried out before the new flooring is laid, since it must be properly docked with the product.
If the door belongs to the “premium” class and you are afraid to ruin it, then for the time of repair you can install a temporary copy, the cost of which will be low. In this case, the size of the structure must fully correspond to a constant.
After repair work
Some experts are convinced that the installation of the entrance structure should be carried out after completion of all stages of updating the interior. This is mainly due to an attempt to keep the new product unscathed and clean. It is also impossible to close the inlet with something until furniture and other items with large dimensions are brought into the room. The advantages of this solution:
- the new design does not get dirty;
- the likelihood of damage is minimized.
These factors allow the product to be kept intact and not worry about its condition.
Everyone decides at what stage to install a new front door. But the final choice should be made taking into account all the possible risks of damage and the convenience of repair work.
