The main assignment of balcony door – separation of space of loggia from the main rooms of the apartment. As the door of balcony (loggia), as a rule, is glazed, it performs one more important function: through it light gets into the room.
Classification of balcony doors to destination
Balcony doors can be classified by several signs – for example, as interaction with windows. So, modern producers offer separate balcony doors and door assemblies in combination with windows. Doors of the first type are established mainly in kitchens or small rooms as they are compact and do not take a lot of place. Such door assemblies can be both bichromatic, and monocotyledonous.
Doors of the second type (combined) are made in the most various options. The most widespread types of the combined designs – oar and sliding. Now sliding models which open due to moving of shutters or by the principle of "book" are in the greatest demand. Also parallel and retired doors and barrier-free designs which mechanism of opening reminds the sliding system of the modern built-in cabinets meet.
The combined balcony systems (door - windows) can have different configurations. Sometimes the door of balcony is located between window frames, sometimes – on the right or to the left of them. There are no fundamental constructive differences between these three options. The interposition of windows and balcony door assemblies depends on planning of the apartment and personal preferences of owners. When choosing balcony door it is necessary to consider that it has to be combined with window frames on color, material and registration in general.
Classification by materials
It is worth mentioning that balcony doors differ also on production material. Now more and more buyers prefer plastic: it is inexpensive and has good warm and noise-insulating properties. Beautiful, practical and ecologically safe doors from natural wood, but them are quite popular, unfortunately, it is impossible to call budgetary. For this reason the timber balcony doors are not so widespread as plastic. Today the range of materials, color shades and invoices offered by producers is very rich, and therefore any buyer without effort will pick up ready door to already established windows. As practice shows, the one who takes into account not only characteristics of windows, but also color of curtains, wall-paper and also shade and texture of floor covering achieves the best results.
