Warm, strong, durable – here the main characteristics of door for owner-occupied dwelling. Today producers mark out them in separate category and use the most modern technologies for ensuring these properties.
Thermal insulation
The outer door in owner-occupied dwelling usually is established on border of the street and room. In cold season its outer side constantly is exposed to low temperature impact, internal, on the contrary, is in heat. Bad thermal insulation of door or its total absence leads to the fact that inside condensate accumulates, the snow cap freezes, sleet, door does not protect from cold.
The correct device of street door helps to avoid all these troubles. Important not only what material is used as protection against freezing, but also according to what scheme it is established in door cloth. The optimum design of door for owner-occupied dwelling represents puff pie. The first, external layer is door panel. It can be executed from tree or metal. The second layer – heater. It is important that it was with high coefficient of density. Best of all the pressed mineral wool approaches. The third layer – air layer. It protects door from through freezing. Works by the principle of multichamber window when air in design does not allow cold to get into the room. The fourth layer – again heater. The last - decorative interior panel.
Designing the house, it is better to plan outer door cost the parties where there is less wind. It will reduce risk of deformation because of rain.
On contour the door cloth has to be equipped with rubber sealant which does not pass cold air on joint with door box. The box also has to be warmed and equipped with threshold. Some producers began to deliver to model with electric heating of box. This fine decision for protection against possible freezing in hard frosts.
Durability
As the street outer door constantly is exposed to temperature drops, impact of precipitation, ultraviolet, increased requirements on durability are imposed to it. The metal door has to be processed by the corrosion-resistant coating resistant to fading.
Over door it is necessary to organize canopy or the small platform. The canopy will protect door from moisture and the scorching sun, and the platform will provide additional heat-shielding of the house.
The most reliable considers powder spraying. The decorative panel from tree is surely processed by the water-repellent impregnation and paint resistant to temperature drops. The owner-occupied dwelling is inclined to some mobility because of which can warp low-quality doors. Therefore the outer door has to be established in metal counterframe.
Vzlomostoykost
Antivandalnost – not the most important characteristic of door in owner-occupied dwelling as there are many more convenient locations for penetration, for example windows. However for bigger reliability it is possible to choose strong entrance knot. The cloth has to be made of steel not more thinly than 2 mm. It is better if loops are hidden, the door is equipped with two locks of different type. One of them cylinder, another - suvaldny. The modern market offers big variety of biometric and electronic locks, the systems of video surveillance, including remote, intruder alarms. All this great ways to protect the property from breaking and penetration.
