Reviews

“From the outside, plastic doors certainly win. However, I’m afraid to install it in the cottage: I don’t have an alarm system, and, unfortunately, I don’t have security.”
Alexander, Lyubertsy

"I completely agree. In offices, shops, they look quite respectable. But I can't imagine in a private house. In the back rooms, yes. But the front door to the house should be only metal. By the way, steel doors from Europe can also be very interesting in terms of design.”
Snezhana, pos. Peaceful

“Unfortunately, I put in cheap Chinese metal. In the second year, the paint slipped from the snow, the door looked creepy. I found a special paint, peeled it off, painted it, but the view is not the same. I won't dare to put a plastic street one. The office has solid security, an alarm system. And I have a teenage dog on a chain.”
Grigory Petrovich, cat. Green gave

“We have an unheated veranda. A white plastic door was installed on it. Looks perfect. The door to the house is made of high quality iron. As I remember now, five years ago they paid eighteen thousand for it. The plastic ones were much cheaper. But she has no complaints either. Serves right.”
Alexey, Moscow

“On the veranda - I agree. By the way, the idea is not bad. I am planning a small extension in front of the house, and I will put plastic there. ”
Alexander, Stupino

I have a private house. Before ordering entrance doors, I chose a manufacturer for a long time. For me, quality and design are important, cost is in second place. When I finally decided where to order, I came to the company already knowing exactly what kind of door I want, because before that I had seen something like this with my friends - a plastic double-leaf door with a rounded top. The design was discussed with the manager for a short time, they only offered me different shades of plastic, but I settled on white. I chose dark brown glass, with a pattern, German plastic, German fittings too. It turned out a little more expensive, but I never save on quality. The fitter arrived promptly and completed the job on time with no delays. I was very worried about the installation. I was afraid that the craftsmen would strip or soil the wallpaper in the veranda, which had recently been renovated. There were no incidents. Even small debris was taken away. Previously, I glued foam rubber under the door and in the cracks so that it would not blow in the winter, but now you don’t need to do anything like that. In the veranda it became much warmer and, of course, more beautiful. From the street the door looks simply gorgeous, and inside the house too. This beauty cost me twenty thousand, now, probably, they will cost more, because I put them a couple of years ago.

I decided to write my story of installing a plastic door. My doors open outward. During installation, there were gaps from below through poor pressure when the doors are closed with a latch. The bend of the box did not fit the bend of the canvas. The installers fixed the canvas with convolutions. When using, 2 problems were discovered that must be taken into account when buying doors. The door frame and threshold are made from an ordinary window profile. Natural and external condensate accumulates on the threshold and does not disappear in any way, rises to a height of 1-2 millimeters. It is not clear where to eliminate this condensate. You can’t go inside, the slope of the profile does not allow you to go outside. At sub-zero temperatures, over time, it freezes up on the rubber. 2nd: moisture from under the upper door seal, external condensate is on the upper slides of the lock. When it freezes cold and it is impossible to open or close. Today I identified these problems to the manufacturer. I make an excellent suggestion to install strips on top of the doors and above the threshold that prevent water from getting into the box. In addition, do not allow drilling for mounting the bottom of the box. Moisture enters the chamber with a profile. Virtually no sealant will hold. Thank you for attention.
