Installing laminated panels on the door is an inexpensive and practical way to update and decorate your entrance door. These panels with their appearance copy the natural structures of various wood species. Laminated doors panels are distinguished by a small thickness and relatively low weight. You can make the installation of the lining both on the metal door and on the wooden.

Laminated coverage of these panels is perfectly suitable for owners of pets: cats and dogs. After all, they often love to rush their cohesives along the door hug in the expense of the owners, and if it is made of budget and fragile dermantine, it simply rushes, and the replacement of the upholstery periodically is required. Solve this problem will help the upholstery of the door laminate.

To install the laminated panel, you need to remove locks, knobs, lining, door eyes, completely remove the old upholstery from the door surface. Cutting panels for the dimensions of the door leaf can be carried out by the master directly from the customer, or in the workshop, but for this it is necessary to place an additional departure of the wizard to measure with sample materials. As a rule, the laminated panel itself is attached to liquid nails and is made around the perimeter with decorative molding. Next, in the lining it is necessary to cut out the technological holes for the accessories and install it.

The decoration of the door with a decorative laminated panel can be combined with both more modern, reliable and burglar-resistant. The design of some doors allows you to fill in the inner space of the door with heat insulation plates before installing the laminated panel, as well as stick the seal, which will block all the slots. But in some cases it is more appropriate to make a soft upholstery with artificial leather than shelter the door with laminate. For example, if it is an entrance door going outside. After all, laminate, unlike vinylister, is afraid of high humidity. When choosing a material for the door weighing, you need to take into account that any coverage has its advantages and cons.

Interior doors play a big role in creating an apartment interior. Today, consumers have been given a wide selection of models, as well as materials from which doors are manufactured.

Laminated doors received the greatest distribution, they have an attractive appearance, have high performance characteristics and are available at a price.

Film for lamination

Laminated doors obtained their name due to the protective film, which is applied on top of the decorative layer. As a result, the door surface turns out to be protected from abrasion and moisture.

In the process of manufacturing such doors, various films for lamination can be applied:

• the film with a paper base is used to make the cheapest doors. Such a coating is not resistant to mechanical effects, moisture is afraid;
• paper, which is laid in several layers and is impregnated with a special composition based on melamine resin, has greater strength. Such doors are resistant to the appearance of scratches, do not fade into the sun, are not afraid of moisture drops;
• PVC film allows you to imitate various textures, while there is a huge selection of color solutions. Plastic coating doors are not afraid of moisture, the effects of household chemicals and sun rays. Such doors are the best price and quality ratio;
• laminatin Two-meter is to date the most durable coating for laminated doors. In addition to high performance, such doors have a beautiful appearance, this coating has a greater similarity with natural wooden veneer. Doors laminated by a two-grained film, the most expensive in this segment.

Quite often, manufacturers are combined in one door several types of coatings.

Laminated doors are made from MDF or other wood stoves. The basis of such a door is the framework, most often for its manufacture, pine is used. This tree is most affordable.

Sheds skeleton with panels from wood plates. A filler is added inside the frame, a foam or cardboard can be used in its capacity, from which the cellular design is manufactured.

Before the lamination process, a decorative coating may be applied to the door, this stage depends largely on the design of the door leaf and the film that is used for lamination.

Laminated doors are most affordable today, they are lungs and look great.

Doors laminated: what it is looking into the video:

Reviews The laminated doors are mostly obtained positive, which is explained by their unusual design. In the production of such models, a combination of materials is used, so that they differ in high quality and reliability. A wide variety of models is the key to the fact that each buyer will find a design corresponding to its requirements.

Why do you need lamination?

This wood processing technology allows you to extend its service life. Its essence lies in the fact that the surface of the tree is covered with a special film on the machine, which is then fixed under the influence of the heating apparatus. Thanks to the resin, it is perfectly attached to the surface of the tree, so that the doors have a presentable appearance. Itself can be matte, glossy, with various decorative effects, which allows you to choose a solution for any interior. The feature of the film is that it reliably envelops even the angles that looks like solid and harmonious. Can be complemented with cutouts and inserts from other materials, glass, metal or stained glass.

Design features

Laminated doors are distinguished by reliability and durability, while they attract the attention of buyers affordable price. That is why the doors of the laminated doors get good. Unique performance and availability of prices are achieved by the minimum amount of natural materials and modern polymers at the same time. From the point of view of the design, these doors consist of several parts:

1. Wooden frame. It is created most often from the pine mass, due to which its high quality and reliability is achieved. MDF laminated doors are created from glued timber in the form of cropping, connecting between themselves using a special technology, due to which the final material of the racks to the effects of humidity, temperature drops. Many models are equipped with additional MDF bands that bind to each other. This allows you to achieve higher strength while maintaining a small weight of the door design.
2. Filler. His task is to promote additional heat and sound insulation. Most often, polyurethane foam, corrugated cardboard are used as a filler.
3. MDF linings. They are created from extruded dust connected to a solid sheet by glue and subsequent pressing under the influence of high temperature. The pad can be performed by any shape and structure, it is glued to the frame.
4. Protective decorative layer. Veneered or laminated doors are coated with a decorative film of a special subtlety, which is sometimes combined with a protective layer of laminate. The application of the film is performed by a temperature-vacuum method.

Dignity

The combination of materials leads to the fact that laminated doors become durable and resistant to mechanical exposure. These characteristics often celebrate reviews.

Laminated interior doors are distinguished by the following advantages:

• affordable cost;
• original appearance;
• a monophonic pattern that is applied evenly;
• slight weight design;
• a wide variety of models;
• resistant to the effects of temperature differences;
• environmental security: it is not by chance that such models are put in medical institutions.

disadvantages

Negative Reviews Laminated doors received from several factors. For example, in customer reviews, the view is that good doors are expensive, and cheap analogs will serve from the strength of 5-6 years. And then the case is, it turns out, not so much in the material of the door of the door, how much as a laminate is a truly high-quality film worth it is expensive. The second unpleasant moment is the inability to restore the laminated coating, if it has been severely damaged. And the weakest link of laminated designs is a doorway, which is distinguished by insufficient thickness and is easily deformed. Especially obviously, this disadvantage is noticeable when installing such structures in the bathroom, when the box is fused under the influence of moisture, and the door stops closing.

Veneer or laminate?

Any doors are veneered or laminated - attract attention to the thoughtfulness of every detail. At the same time, from the point of view of the appearance and design of the design, they differ little, but the cost of veneered models is much higher.

If you compare these varieties of design, the following conclusions can be drawn:

1. High-quality laminated doors are distinguished by resistance to high temperatures, humidity, and a solid film based on a polymer acts in the role of a protective layer that does not transmit liquid. Veneered door such properties will not boast that many reviews mention.
2. Laminated doors are characterized by resistance to damage, although it turns out that it all depends on the responsibility of the manufacturer and the quality of its products. In order not to guess, you should trust proven manufacturers.
3. Simple care. Through the structures covered with laminated film, it is much easier for the designs, since their surface is smooth and resistant to the effects of any abrasive agents.

Veneer or laminate: comparative characteristics

Laminated or veneered doors better? This question is asked by many buyers. They have certain similarities. For example, an internal structure in both cases is made of a wooden frame with filling with "honeycombs" or wooden slats. Veneered models attract the attention of buyers by the unique structure of the natural tree, even the pattern of fibers is preserved. However, the surface of such models darkens with time, and if the room is wet, then the door can crackle. Laminate is an artificial material that is distinguished by strength, resistant to mechanical damage and moisture. It is easy to care for such doors easily and simple, but if you suddenly on the surface there will be chips or scratches, they can not be removed. All features of both materials can be represented as a table:

Model	Dignity	disadvantages
Veneered door	Created from an array of any tree. In case of violation of the surface, the material can be restored. Production technology allows you to create decorated models of complex geometry.	Mechanical properties of wood as they use. Curved parts are difficult to cover with veneer. Over time, the door surface fades and darkens. Mount the doors can be indoors with low humidity. High cost of products.
Laminated door	Permanent color and texture. High resistance to moisture. Simple care. Resistance to abrasion, mechanical exposure.	Smooth surface. With severe damage it is impossible to restore. High quality laminate is expensive. All models of the same type in terms of design.

Based on this table, you will easily understand which option is suitable for you.

How to be with a bathroom?

This room is one of the most capricious in our house, so you need to choose his finish method competently. Especially carefully you need to treat the door you choose. It is clear that the usual interroom model is not suitable here. Specialists advise paying attention to laminated that meet several requirements:

1. They are resistant to moisture and temperature drops.
2. Not deformed as exploitation.

Veneered models that look more interesting and more reliable, for the bathroom is not the best choice, since they are made of wood. They can be installed only in those rooms where the impact of moisture on the door will be minimal. In addition, the quality of the varnish coating plays an important role. Cheaper and more reliable to purchase laminated doors to the bathroom.

There are several varieties of doors - "Laminate":

1. Models with a paper base. Of course, they should not choose them in the bathroom, because very quickly paper is soaked in moisture and deform.
2. Laminated doors with a paper-based film, impregnated with special compositions, more resistant to moisture, therefore can be used in the bathroom. Thanks to the coating, the product is protected from moisture, but still direct contact with water should be avoided.
3. Laminate-covered laminated doors in the bathroom reviews received positive as the most reliable option. Laminatine is a material of polymeric origin, which is applied with a layer of a certain thickness and is distinguished by excellent moisture resistance.

Early room

As you know, laminated doors are economical and more accurate solution for any room. The framework of these models is created on the basis of a pine timber, and high-quality materials are used to fill. All this makes original and reliable so popular laminated doors from buyers. The photo shows that all models are distinguished by an interesting appearance, so it will be possible to arrange any interior. Select models for the design of the indoor space, you need competently:

1. It is necessary to take into account the style of the decision in which the specific room is performed.
2. It is not necessary to save, because the durability of its operation depends on the right choice of high-quality product.
3. You need to think over the opening system. Modern interior doors laminated, the reviews of which are most often good, are performed in various versions of the opening mechanism. Most often, preference is given to the one or two canvases made. If the room is small, you can give preference to the door-coupe that harmoniously fit into any space. If the room is made, for example, in the country style, you can choose the harmonica doors.

Interior doors Laminated reviews received good and thanks to different finishing options. Lamination can be performed by different materials - wood, mazonite, aluminum, paper-based plastic or fiberglass. Each model is original in its own way, and the choice of concrete material has an impact perhaps only on the final cost of the model.

What to choose?

The modern market offers various laminated models. Laminated doors MDF Reviews received good due to the affordable price and high quality models. The design of such models is simple and consists of a door frame filled with "honeycombs", decorated with MDF and laminate-covered panels. The use of MDF for cladding allows to reduce the cost of models.

Plastic laminated doors are popular due to high-quality finish. With their production, a two-chip laminate or other durable material is used, which is additionally covered with a film with a wood imitation. Such interroom doors have received many good reviews due to several factors:

1. Excellent sound insulation properties.
2. Strength.
3. Fire safety.
4. Ease of care.
5. Stability to mechanical exposure.
6. Durability of operation.

All these characteristics make plastic laminated doors popular. The photo shows that these models can be made with an inlaid with glass of different colors, which gives them an original look. Such models will serve for a long time, since they remain even during operation in high humidity. The color and texture of plastic doors will be maintained for a long time, so after installation you can forget about the possible replacement of the door system for a long time. It is important that such models are inexpensive.

FEATURES OF MONTAGE

As already mentioned, the interior doors of MDF laminated reviews are mostly good, as well as plastic-based models. As for their installation, you need to remember some nuances. The most important thing is that you should not forget about the thin door box, which can be deformed even under the influence of mounting foam with not too much pressure. That is why the door box must be attached to the work of special corners. They are installed every 30 cm to avoid door deformation.

When installing laminated door articles in the bathroom, you need to protect the box from moisture. It is best to get it with a special waterproof film. In all other moments, the installation process of the door is simple and understandable. And remember that even with high-quality installation, laminated doors can serve not for a long time, especially if you chose cheap models. Reviews The laminated doors got good, but choose the models with the mind.

Currently, more and more people began to keep their choice on laminated doors. They cost much cheaper than others, and this is the main selection criterion. In addition, the covering door canvas laminating film protects it from various injuries, high humidity and is resistant to the effects of aggressive chemicals.

If you accidentally shed a glass of water on the door, you should not worry about that it can harm the surface. Quite simple wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Another important advantage of laminated doors is that they are not subject to deformation. To make the right choice, it should be understood that it represents such a design.

What it is - laminated doors

This design is a framework that consists of pine bars and filled with honeycombs from pressed cardboard. As a result, a very durable and reliable design is formed. Such a frame was lined with MDF plates and is covered with a laminating film, which is an artificial material produced in an extremely wide color palette. This makes it easy to choose such doors that would be harmoniously combined with furniture, flooring and wall color.

Modern technological equipment allows produce laminated doors High quality, which are capable of competing with other types of doors. The drawing produced on the film is quite accurately simulating different wood species.

What is a laminating film

Such a film is manufactured using different technologies. She is there are several types:

Laminate is wonderful mimics any material, mostly wood, but it can be a stone, metal or plant motifs. The surface of the laminate door can have a drawing or be absolutely smooth.

Such a name door design obtained thanks to the protective material applied to its surface. Modern doors made of laminate with their characteristics are absolutely not inferior to the door structures from the massif of natural wood, and in some cases even exceed them.

Production technology It is quite simple, which allows them to produce them in a large assortment. The door design from the laminate consists of an array of pine or bars. In the first embodiment, the frame is covered by Fiberboard or MDF plates, and in the second embodiment, the space inside the frame is filled with a cellular cardboard, and the MDF is fixed on top. The decorative laminate is glued on the facing sheets. The combination of the technological process with the material ensures the production of low cost doors.

Laminate protects the door leaf from mechanical damage and high humidity. This allows you to conclude that it is not necessary to save hard and purchase the doors with a paper-based film. Produce such door structures using synthetic resinsBut they do not harm human organism and can be established even in children's and medical institutions.

Advantages and disadvantages of laminated doors

Such products can have both the pros and cons.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

• No diversity in design. This is considered a conditional disadvantage. Many even like the fact that the doors are similar to each other. However, in a short time, such a lack will disappear completely, because all the more complex structures began to flow.
• Film damage, such as cracking or bloating. The cracking of the material means its discrepancy in the joint and the formation of cracks and cracks. The film swells due to the fact that it begins to flap from the base of the door.
• Low mechanical strength of the door design with a cardboard basis. Such doors are never durable, because very lungs and easily you can break through the foot. Doors with a frame of chipboard are much heavier, but therefore, and more stronger.
• Low environmental friendliness. Manufacturers of these door structures declare with confidence that it is absolutely eco-friendly material, but it will never be compared with natural wood. The inner part of the product and a film that covers it contains a variety of synthetic impregnations. Chemicals evaporate mainly from the inside. Since lamination guarantees complete tightness, smells can penetrate the room through a hole for the handle or lock.
• Repair of the laminated door is very complicated. Traces of damage will definitely be noticeable.

Although such a design and unpretentious in care, but it can only live in case if carefully care for her. It is advisable to protect it from the effects of high temperatures and mechanical damage.

The laminated surface should be regularly handled using polyrolla, preferably with wax content. This contributes to giving the door of a beautiful gloss and masking of microcracks. If such a design is installed indoors with normal humidity, then it is necessary to process it twice a year.

Once a year it should be removed from the loop to process mechanical details and clean hard-to-reach places. The surface of the laminate is not recommended to be cleaned by abrasive means, because they can damage it.

Caring for laminated doors, you should not use the chemicals that are not intended for them. Although the laminate is sufficiently resistant to the effects of such agents, but the likelihood that a chemical reaction occurs when the coating interacts with the components of the cleaner composition, as a result of which it will begin to collapse.

The best tool intended for the care of the laminated surface is considered a solution of water and alcohol. in the 9: 1 ratio. Wipe the doors of this composition once a year.

In the process of wiping the design, it is necessary to pay special attention to the door frame, the lower part of the door canvase and platbands. During a wet cleaning, these places are most susceptible to the negative effects of moisture. As a cleaning agent, a dyeing or soap solution is remarkably suitable.

If cracks or chips were formed on the laminated surface, they can be masked using a wax pencil. The wax must be heat and apply on a damaged surface, then polished with a soft cloth.

If, due to the temperature or mechanical exposure, the laminate is damaged or begins to flap, you should not try eliminate this defect Alone. All the same, it will not work efficiently, so you need to use the services of specialists who will eliminate all the problems using special equipment.

How to choose a laminated door

As it were, carefully not to care for such a design, if the product is low quality, then it will be presented a unpleasant surprise after a while. To make the right choice, follows pay attention to the following points:

Conclusion

enjoy great popularity. Qualitative models are covered with such a film that remarkably protects the product from various adverse effects. Cheap designs are not so durable and failed very quickly. So it is best to get high-quality laminated doors that will serve as faith for many years.

Laminated doors are a good alternative to expensive wooden or veneered doors. The decorative film in the drawing resembles a tree, and in care it is absolutely undemanding. There is a wide variety of doors with a laminated coating, but all of them are combined by universality and durability.

What are laminated doors?

Nowadays, more and more consumers prefer laminated doors due to their low price. The film with which they are covered perfectly protects them from the effects of chemicals and high humidity. With direct hit on them, the doors just wipe with a dry cloth. Unlike the door of the wood massif, laminated, do not deform with time. They have a small weight, and care for them is possible even abrasive cleaning agents.

Laminate film is an artificial material that is produced in a very wide color palette. This facilitates the selection of a harmonious combination of doors with floor-coating, wall color and furniture.

Thanks to modern high-tech equipment, it became possible to produce high-quality laminated doors capable of competing with other types of interior doors. A drawing on the film can rather accurately imitate various wood species.

The laminated canvas itself is a frame of pine bars. The space is filled with cellular pressed cardboard. All together creates a solid and reliable design. MDF plates are used as a frame facing on both sides, and the laminate is attached on top of them.

The laminate film is manufactured using different technologies. As a result, it turns out a budget version in the form of melamine paper or more expensive two-quality laminatine. Due to the lightness of all materials, interior laminated doors made with a complex pattern have a small weight.

Especially relevant selection of laminated doors in the event that it is required in the same room to set several completely identical in color. And unlike natural wood, the laminated door throughout the operation service will not change its shade.

Regardless of the manufacturer, the laminated doors of MDF are related to the economy class. This is due to inexpensive materials from which they are manufactured and easy-to-ground production technology.

Read more about the types of films:

• Paper base. The cheapest and unreliable option, the thickness of the material is only 0.2 mm.
• Melamine film. In fact, it is the same paper, but impregnated with melamine resin, due to which the coating is obtained more dense and more resembles the properties of plastic.
• Two-volume laminatin. It is the most durable and thick laminate, which is used in the production of doors. Its thickness is approximately 0.5-0.7 mm.
• Fiberglass film. The most expensive coating of all existing ones. Consequently, the price of such a door will be significantly higher. Therefore, manufacturers extremely rarely use it to finish the door.

Laminate perfectly imitates any materials. Most often wood, but may also metal, plant motifs or stone. The surface of the laminated door is absolutely smooth or has a drawing (even silk screen and manual painting).

Production of laminated doors

This name of the door was obtained due to the material of the protective layer. To date, their quality is practically not inferior to the doors from the massif of a natural tree, and for some characteristics even exceed them.

The production technology is simple and allows them to produce them in large quantities and in a wide range. Often, when laminated doors are decorated with glass inserts or other materials.

The design of laminated doors consists of an array or bars of pine. In the first case, the frame is immediately covered by MDF or DVP plates. And in the manufacture of a cheaper field of the door, the space inside the frame is filled with a light cell cardboard. And the MDF is attached from above. On top of the facing sheets, decorative laminate is glued. And the technological process, and the materials themselves allow you to create low cost doors.

But thanks to the strength of the laminate, the doors are small mechanical damage and high humidity. Therefore, it is not necessary to save much and buy the cheapest doors with a paper-based film.

In the production of laminated doors, synthetic resins are used, but the doors themselves are environmentally friendly products. Their use is allowed even in medical and children's institutions.

How to care for laminated doors

Despite all unpretentiousness in leaving, to last for many years, laminated doors can only with proper care. If possible, they must be protected from mechanical and temperature effects.

Avoid the need for an effort to clean the laminated surface, it is possible to periodically process it with a polyrolon. Best of all, if the wax is present in such a means. He will give the door to the beautiful gloss and the micro-pharmaceants will swing. For doors installed in rooms with normal humidity, it suffices to carry out this processing twice a year.

Clean the laminated surface with abrasive means is allowed only at extreme need. If you do it regularly, the surface may be damaged.

When leaving the laminated doors, it is worth avoiding the chemical means of unpredictable for them. Although the laminate is resistant to their effects, but it is possible that the coating will enter the chemical response with the components of the cleaning composition and will begin to collapse.

The ideal means for purifying laminated interior doors is a solution of water and alcohol in a proportion of 9: 1. The surface is wiping by this composition, after which the dry cloth is wiped. Enough to do it once a year.

When wiping the doors, special attention should be paid to the lower part of the door leaf, platbands and the door frame. It is these parts, with wet cleaning, most susceptible to the negative effects of water. It is worth noting that much better if the laminated door has the edge of PVC.

In addition to alcohol, a soap solution is perfect or a diluted dishwashing agent. They are also wiped with the surface of the door, after which it is rubbed dry.

If chips or cracks appeared on the laminated door, they are masked with a wax pencil. It warms up, the wax is applied to the damaged surface and is polished with a soft cloth. Fully remove the defect in this way will not be able, but it will become less noticeable.

When, as a result of mechanical or temperature exposure, the laminate is peeled or damaged, should not try to fix it with your own hands. At home, it will not be possible to make it qualitatively, it is better to contact professionals where all the problems are deleted on special equipment.

How to choose a high-quality laminated door

But how much the strength was not spent on the care of the door, the low-quality product will still begin to present unpleasant surprises. To secure your choice, before buying, you need to mean what to pay attention to.

• Most inexpensive doors are made on frame-shield technology with cellular filling in the inner space. This is not a disadvantage at all, these doors have good strength and noise insulation. Of course, the monolithic doors are stronger, but also cost much more expensive. The determining criterion of the strength of such a door is the MDF thickness and the amount of filler cells. View the door in a context, there is often no possibility, but still, it is possible to determine its reliability. It is enough just to raise it, the harder, the more the material was spent on its manufacture, and the more stronger.

• Now it is necessary to determine the quality of the decorative coating of the door. The laminated surface should be absolutely smooth and smooth, not having roughness, irregularities, etc. The thickness of the laminate is only a few millimeters, but it is he who protects the door from all external factors.
• A high-quality coating simulates not only the drawing of the wood, but also repeats its texture. It must be mate. It gives the door noble appearance and greater similarity with natural wood, but such a coating is more resistant to ultraviolet, high humidity, is the most durable and better cleared of contamination. But the cheap surface on a paper basis to distinguish easily - it is glossy and has shine.
• A general inspection of the door is carried out. At first, attention is drawn to the weakest place of laminated interroom doors - side edges. In low-quality models, they quickly peel. Over the entire length of the edge edge must be perfectly smooth without burrs and jar. If there are decorative inserts in the door, they are also carefully examined.
• All fililene fasteners should be firmly fixed. When manufacturing on poor equipment, the edges of the stroke will look torn.

Thus, it is possible to determine the quality of laminated doors in the store.

Manufacturers of laminated doors

The leading domestic producers of laminated doors of high quality include the factory "Rostra", "Commonwealth", "Bekar", "Odintsovo", "good doors", "Optima".

But even recently, the production of laminated doors was engaged only by the Erbi Porte, Treviso Porte and Vera Porta (Italy). Therefore, still Italian laminated doors mean the quality of the highest level.

Other global brands are located in Germany - this is Lebo Turen, Westag & Getalit. They are fully focused on the manufacture of laminated doors.

Doors laminated PVC

These are the most popular economy doors. They are perfect for use in residential and office space. Thanks to the imitation of valuable wood, such as oak, walnut, wenge and others, laminated PVC doors are a good combination of beautiful appearance and prices.

Benefits:

• they are most resistant to high humidity, so they are recommended to install in bathrooms, kitchens, etc.;
• this is a solid solid coating, which has no separate side edges;
• the coating is easily clean, and traces of fingers remain on it;
• the door is able to withstand even strong blows.

Especially beautiful looks on white laminated doors with glass inserts. And if you wish, they can be repainted independently in any color. For this, the surface is primarily ground, and is painted with alkyd paint or acrylic enamel (for furniture or universal).
