Plastic interior doors: varieties, their design features, installation and operation rules. Entrance plastic doors Plastic doors

Along with wooden interior doors, plastic ones are also available for sale today. Like any other product, they have both advantages and disadvantages. This and much more regarding plastic doors will be discussed below.

Installation of plastic interior doors

The design of a plastic, or rather metal-plastic, door, like a wooden one, has a frame and a door leaf. The latter consists of a frame and filling. The frame and door frame are made of galvanized steel profile, enclosed in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shell.

PVC door structure diagram: 1 - door frame; 2 - canvas; 3 - hinge; 4 - glazing; 5 - opaque filling

The fabric is filled with glass or a plastic “sandwich”, consisting of two sheets of PVC and a polyurethane foam layer between them.

Door decoration is done in two ways:

Plastic interior doors have the following advantages:

Resistance to changes in temperature and humidity conditions. At any value of relative humidity, a plastic door will not dry out or swell like a wooden one.
Moisture resistance. All elements that make up a plastic door do not rot or corrode, so they are not afraid of contact with water.
Easy to care for. Moisture resistance, coupled with the inherent smoothness of plastic, allows plastic doors to be cleaned of dirt.
Impact resistance. PVC is plastic, therefore, when struck, pieces do not break off from it, like wood.
Light weight. Blind plastic door standard sizes with fittings weighs 4–5 kg, while a wooden one with the same parameters weighs from 25 to 40 kg.

There are also disadvantages:

Plastic - soft material and therefore it is easy to scratch.
PVC doors lose their attractiveness over time appearance- due to scratches and natural aging of plastic.
PVC, like all polymers, burns with copious amounts of toxic smoke. Various fire-fighting additives only slightly delay ignition, and even plastic that has not caught fire is protected from exposure high temperature it still smokes.
PVC gases, that is, it emits harmful gaseous substances - vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate. At room temperature, the concentration of evaporation is much lower than the maximum permissible, but under heating conditions it increases sharply.
Due to the design features, the threshold is a mandatory element.

Where are interior plastic doors used?

PVC doors with their cold, unnatural shine do not fit into a living space: wooden doors are more appropriate here. The exception is bathrooms with inherent high humidity.

But for public buildings, such as hospitals, offices, various institutions, plastic doors - great solution. Even in high-traffic areas, the product is easy to keep clean; thanks to its plasticity, it can easily withstand frequent openings and accidental impacts. Plastic doors are indispensable in rooms with high humidity- swimming pools, baths, saunas.

Plastic doors can be installed between the dressing room and the wash room, rest room - the exception is the entrance to the steam room

But they cannot be installed directly in the steam room - as mentioned above, thermal decomposition occurs in PVC when heated, accompanied by the release of harmful gases.

Types of plastic doors

Metal-plastic doors are divided into several types according to the following design features:

number of cameras;
type of filling;
form;
opening method;
number of doors.

Number of cameras in profile

The aluminum profile in the frame and sash frame is divided into several chambers by longitudinal partitions. The more there are, the higher the noise absorption coefficient of the door. But the cost of the product also increases. Experience shows that the optimal profile is with 3 - 4 cameras.

Inexpensive plastic doors have single- or double-glazed windows installed

With a larger number of them, there is a significant increase in the cost of the product, and the noise insulation increases very little.

Fill type

Plastic doors can be:

Along with ordinary glasses Safe varieties are used:

triplex: double-layer glass with a polymer film inside that holds the fragments in place when cracking;
hardened: it breaks not into large, but into small fragments with blunt edges.

The safest doors are those equipped with transparent polycarbonate instead of glass. But such an insert becomes cloudy over time and is easily scratched.

Form

Metal-plastic doors are manufactured in two versions:

Arched plastic doors look less elegant than wooden ones because top bar bends segmentally. Several cuts are made in the profile, so that after bending it is not a curved, but a polygonal arch.

Opening method

Based on this criterion, PVC doors are divided into:

swing;

rotary;

sliding;

folding (accordions)

Swing

The most common option: the canvas is suspended on hinges and rotates around a vertical axis.

When closed, the leaf of a hinged door with a rebate rests against the projection of the frame

There are two subspecies:

Pendulum type doors are good for the following:

do not delay the flow of people, therefore they are suitable for places with high traffic;
they can be easily opened by a person with busy hands, which is important for storage facilities and shops.

But swing doors, unlike swing doors, do not provide sound and heat insulation.

General disadvantage swing doors is that in the open position they block the space near the opening. In small rooms this can create inconvenience.

Rotary

The canvas also rotates, but the axis of rotation runs not along its edge, but in the center.

The rotation axis of the swing door is located in the center of its short side

Advantage: the space next to the opening is not blocked when the door is opened.

Flaws:

a wide opening is required;
To bring furniture into the room, the door has to be removed.

Sliding (sliding)

Canvas sliding doors moves to the side. To do this, instead of hinges, it is equipped with rollers that roll along guides attached to the floor and ceiling. This opening method is suitable for small rooms, since it allows you to install, for example, a closet or a hanger next to the opening. And if the door goes into narrow corridor, then when opening it will not block it.

Sliding doors have a low degree of sound and heat insulation, so they are not suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and toilets

But sliding doors do not close as tightly as swing doors with a rebate, and therefore do not provide complete protection from noise and drafts.

Sliding doors are divided into the following types:

Number of sashes

According to the number of leaves, plastic doors are divided into:

single-leaf;
bivalve.

Sliding doors, as mentioned, can also be multi-leaf.

There is a rare type of plastic door in which fiberglass is used instead of PVC. This material is much stronger, but it also costs significantly more, which is why fiberglass doors have not yet become popular.

Manufacturing of plastic doors

List of main stages production process looks like this:

It is impossible to make a plastic door at home, even if you have ready-made steel and PVC profiles, since this requires, as has been shown, complex and expensive equipment.

Special equipment is used to produce plastic doors

Installation and operation of plastic interior doors

Let's look at the installation procedure using an example. swing design. Plastic doors are delivered from the production site assembled, that is, with the door leaf already installed in the frame. Only the lock cylinder and handle are removed, otherwise the door may be damaged during transportation.

Installation is performed in the following order:

Special wedges are placed on the floor in the opening and then a door with a threshold is installed on them. You can make your own wedges from wood or buy ready-made plastic ones.
Having installed the door in a vertical position (roughly), drive the same wedges into the mounting gap on top and on the sides of the frame, fixing it. You need to act carefully and with moderate force, otherwise you can deform the structure or scratch the plastic.
By controlling the position of the door with a level or plumb line, it is now accurately placed in a strictly vertical position. To do this, tap the wedges with a rubber hammer.
The level may give an error, so the correct installation is also checked in this way: open the canvas to 30 0 and release, then repeat the check for angles of 45 and 60 0. Right installed door in each case remains motionless. If, under its own weight, it tends to close or open, it means that the structure is installed with a deviation from the vertical.
The door position is controlled in three positions door leaf- 0, 45 and 60 degrees
On inside Markings are applied to the racks of the box and then holes for fasteners are drilled along it using a metal drill. The distance between the holes is 150–200 mm.
Re-equip a drill or hammer drill with a concrete drill and use it to make notches at the ends of the wall through the holes drilled in the box.
A concrete drill is used to drill holes.
They take the door out of the opening and use a larger concrete drill to drill holes in the wall at the notches for the dowel sleeves.
Install the sleeves into the holes.
Return the door to its place and screw it to the wall with dowels. The fasteners are screwed in without effort so as not to deform the door frame.
The door frame is screwed to the wall using a screwdriver
The protruding parts of the wedges are cut off with a hacksaw.
The installation gap between the box and the wall is filled polyurethane foam(polyurethane foam sealant). You need to apply the composition little by little, since when it dries, it greatly increases in volume and develops significant pressure on the door.
Voids formed along the contour door frame, filled with polyurethane foam
Use a knife to cut off the dried foam protruding from the gap.
Remove the protective film from the profile.
Screw the platbands.
Install the lock face and handle.

Operating rules

Proper operation of plastic doors implies the following:

Accessories for interior plastic doors

Several types of fittings are used in the design of metal-plastic doors.

Loops

The door leaf is attached to three hinges: two are attached to the top part, one to the bottom.

The hinges consist of two main parts, which are attached to the door leaf and frame

The loop consists of the following elements:

part attached to the box (contains fastening pins);
part attached to the canvas (contains a metal tab);
spacer sleeve (material - Teflon);
fastener

The loop parameters are:

Width. Varies from 90 to 110 mm. Selected in accordance with the width of the profile from which the door is made.
Maximum permissible load. The narrowest hinges are designed for a load of 80 kg, the widest - for 160 kg.

Hinges for plastic doors are available in a variety of designs and, in addition to the basic parameters, may differ:

material;
design;
method of fastening;
possibility of adjustment.

Locks and latches

Metal-plastic doors are equipped with the following types of mortise locks:

Simple single point lock. It holds the door by sliding one narrow bolt into the strike plate. The locking mechanism is cylinder, with the ability to open with a key on both sides. For interior doors this is the most common option.
Mechanical locks are most often used for interior doors.
Rail multi-point lock. They are equipped with the doors of rooms for storing valuables. Crossbars ranging from 3 to 7 pieces are installed along the entire height of the door. The most reliable is the anti-burglary locking mechanism.
Invisible castle. It does not have a keyhole or other external elements. The crossbar is set in motion electrical device via radio signal from the remote control.
Electromagnetic and electromechanical locks. Installed in rooms with increased safety requirements. They are opened remotely by a security guard using a special remote control to which they are connected by wires.
Electromagnetic locks can be opened remotely from the command panel

The most reliable locks are those with a body made of special high-strength steel subjected to high-temperature treatment (hardened).

Latches

If a lock is not needed, a latch is installed instead. Two types of products are used:

mechanical: equipped with a spring-loaded ball or cylinder that fits into the strike plate when closing;
magnetic.

Mechanical latches are available with the ability to lock: to do this, you need to turn the small handle on one side. If there are children in the house, you should buy a model with a slot for back side, by inserting a coin or other thin object into which the latch can be unlocked. This is important because young children sometimes turn the lock handle out of curiosity, but then cannot figure out how to open it again.

Pens

The following types of handles are installed on plastic doors:

Rotary knobs are divided into two types:

Push. They look like a horizontal lever that you need to press to open the door. This can be easily done even with busy hands, which is why plastic interior doors are most often equipped with push fittings. Disadvantage - it can get caught on clothes.
Handles in the form of a lever located horizontally are convenient to use
Knobe handles. Products in the form of a ball or cone. It is impossible to get caught on such a handle, but it is more difficult to open it, since this requires clasping the handle with your hand. Because of this, they are mainly installed on doors that are opened relatively rarely.
The knob handle can be equipped with a lock

Of the rotary handles, the most reliable are those in which both parts, in addition to being attached to the blade, are also pulled together steel connection. If this part is missing or forgotten to install, the handle may soon become loose.

Handles are made from aluminum, various alloys containing it, including zinc-aluminum-copper (ZAM alloy), and brass. The last option is the most reliable.

A closer is a mechanism for automatically closing a door. When the door is opened, the spring inside is compressed and then, when released, returns the door to the closed position. Closing occurs smoothly, since the spring has to overcome the resistance of oil with high viscosity.

Closers are not installed on interior doors residential buildings, but for office premises they are necessary

The closer design also includes a stopper to secure the door in the open position.

Based on the installation method, closers are divided into the following types:

Upper. They are installed next to the door and connected to it using a knee or slide mechanism. In the first case, the door is fixed in the open state with locking levers, in the second - with a spring-loaded stopper.
Lower ones. They are installed in the floor under the door and simultaneously act as additional support. To fix the door on the axis there are two protrusions: for swinging at 90 and 105 degrees.
Hidden. The mechanism for locking the door in the open position is the same as for bottom closers.

According to their intended purpose, closers are divided into 7 classes - from EN1 to EN7 (according to the European Union standard). The class is selected taking into account the weight of the door leaf, with EN1 corresponding to the lightest.

Limiters

This part is screwed to the floor and serves to prevent the door from hitting the wall when opening. Various models They differ only in design.

Eyes

The eye is selected according to the following parameters:

Features of manufacturing a plastic door

Plastic doors are made from profiles produced at the same factories that produce windows. However, these products have differences, since increased requirements are placed on them. The profile is more durable due to powerful reinforcement, its surface is resistant to dirt. The profile connection is given special attention: it is tied at the corners with special structures. Thanks to this, the door plastic profile stable throughout the entire service life.

The following components are used to make plastic doors:

Operation scheme

Types of plastic doors

Interior. They are often made with a high and wide sash, complemented by handles on both sides and a lock. Door designs fireproof, durable in use, easy to clean from dirt. Products are in demand for installation in bathrooms, swimming pools, winter gardens, living rooms etc.
Input. Unlike interior doors, these doors have reinforced hinges. The profile system is designed for a wide installation depth, and high strength is achieved through closed reinforcement. The models are not deformed by temperature and humidity changes; the presence of a special seal prevents the penetration of noise and unpleasant odors from the street.
Office. Door structures are manufactured with reinforced leaves and frames. These models are wear-resistant and are designed for a large number of opening and closing cycles. The products are equipped with durable fittings and a seal around the perimeter of the sash to increase sound insulation properties.
