Replace interior doors
Sooner or later, the time may come to replace the interior doors. Even the highest quality fixtures, like all other furnishings, necessarily undergo the action of time, which can lead to a reduction in efficiency and functionality.
Figuring out when is the right time to change doors may not always be that easy. That's why we thought we'd create a small guide that can help shed some light on the subject. In this way it will be possible to better understand the signs that indicate that your windows need to be replaced with new models.
When to replace the interior doors of the house?
There are several signs that can lead you to understand when it's time to change the internal doors of your home. Among others, these are the elements that should be taken into consideration before starting the search for a new window:
Presence of scratches and dents;
Cracks on edges or sash;
Difficulty sliding on hinges;
Problem closing and opening.
If one or more of these problems arise, it would be good to start thinking about replacing the window. But what are the characteristics that it is right to look for in new interior doors for your home? Let's go find out.
Items to look for in new doors to buy
When changing the doors of the house, care must be taken not to break the stylistic continuity of the furnishings. In fact, when you renovate a room, you basically have carte blanche. In these cases it is possible to create a completely new aesthetic, without worrying too much about the consequences.
When you go to replace a single door, without intervening on other furnishings and accessories, you must instead be very careful not to buy something that is an "eyesore" compared to the overall harmony.
With that in mind, these are the things that should be considered when replacing an old door with a new one:
Style;
Materials;
Dimensions;
Installation;
Let's analyze them one by one.
The style of the doors
As previously mentioned, it is essential to try to maintain a basic stylistic continuity. In the case of traditional-style homes, then, you can opt for classic swing doors, ideal in any type of environment, from bedrooms to studios.
If the house is characterized by a modern style, and the masonry is already prepared, it is possible to choose invisible sliding doors, delightful from a stylistic point of view and particularly easy to install.
In short, every choice turns out to be correct if it allows you to maintain the basic style of the house.
The materials
The majority of doors on the market are made of elements in wood, fiberglass or steel. In principle, one would be inclined to prefer materials that can guarantee the best performance over a long period of time.
Don't be confused by appearances. Glass doors, for example, may seem more delicate than wood-fibre alternatives at first casual glance. It is not so. Our fixtures use tempered and accident-proof glass, which eliminates the danger of shattering and therefore the risk of getting hurt.
The dimensions
It is evident that before replacing the internal doors it is necessary to make sure that the dimensions of the hole are adequate. Buying smaller or larger fixtures forces you to carry out masonry work, with consequent waste of time and money.
Checking the dimensions of the doors for sale in our catalog is simple. Just reach the page of the desired model, for example this walnut laminate interior door, and select the desired option in the "Panel sizes" section, as shown in the following figure:
In this way, you will be sure that you have made the ideal purchase.
The installation
This detail may not seem so important at first. However, it is always good to be aware of the type of intervention that must be implemented to install a new front door.
