Classic doors are not good for all cases. They serve as reliable protection, but practically do not pass the air, because of which there are either special holes, or to organize a complex and expensive ventilation system. Solve air access problem can lolome doors. These are ordinary doors, with filling in the form of separate slats installed at an angle.
Features, dignity and disadvantages
The properties of the louvral doors are determined by their device - the presence of transverse lamellas. They have such advantages:
- Good ventilation. The louvral doors almost do not interfere with the movement of air, so there are no problems with high humidity or a fox air. Even in closed, rarely used premises.
- The best distribution of heat. Provide normal air conditioning in unheated rooms in the presence of ordinary doors is difficult. The presence of blinds solves this problem. In the storage rooms and technical premises separated by doors with louvre lattices, the temperature is aligned automatically.
Louvrugous doors almost do not create barriers to move air
- More "lungs" visual doors with blinds are interesting to look, less loading the interior.
- An interesting appearance. Such registration, of course, is on an amateur, but in some styles it looks very good.
Doors with lots of planks and gaps between them are more complex technologically. Their manufacture requires attention, accuracy, accuracy. Only under these conditions the result will be good - it will be pleasant to use and watch. Because the lolan doors are much more expensive than ordinary. And this is despite the fact that only frame is manufactured from the array. Wood partitions are made of glued wood. This is due to the fact that thin wooden planks when changing humidity will "twist". The presence of several layers with multidirectional fibers, intermitted by the layers of glue makes it possible to solve the problem.
From other flaws:
- Lack of sound insulation. The presence of a large number of slots between the straps is negated by all sound insulation characteristics. In this regard, that there are these doors that they are not - anyway.
- Free movement of dust. One of the areas of use of the lolan doors - wardrobes for clothes. But the clothes placed in them are not protected from dust, which in our dwellings is more than enough.
When using blinds in the door for cabinets, dust freely penetrates inside
Disadvantages of doors with a louvre lattice are quite serious. Before installing, it is serious to think and decide that it is more important for you: their advantages or disadvantages.
Application area
The scope of use of the louvre door is determined by their properties. They are indispensable in premises that need constant ventilation. At the same time, the degree of sound insulation should not be important for these premises. There are several such premises in our homes and apartments:
- Technical premises - storage rooms, laundries, wardrobes. In the case of wardrobe rooms it is worth thinking about the feasibility of such an option. After all, clothing from dust is preferably protected. It is possible to compromise: make a louvid lattice at the top, where dust is less, and the air is the warmer than warm.
- Bathroom. In the bathroom it is advisable to quickly output an excess humidity and the lolan doors will help. But this option is good only if the bathroom separately, since the combined bathroom will become a source of not too pleasant sounds and smells.
Louvrug doors to technical premises - a great option to achieve an air without organizing a special air duct
- Premises of boiler houses overlooking the street. In the street doors for such a room there may be a louvral grille. Only she must be adjustable - so that in winter it is not too distinguished by the room. One moment: Before installing such doors, consult your local fire department. Just in case.
Except as in the role of doors between the rooms, the louvre structures can be used in furniture. They are good:
- In the kitchen cabinets, both in the outdoor and mounted. In the dryer and cabinet with croups provide fast ventilation, in the rest - more as decorative.
- In the cabinets covering the pipes in the toilet as a fencing design. You can hang them on the loop, and you can put on magnets.
In bathrooms, toilets, kitchen cabinets can be used as doors for lockers
- As shutters on the windows. It is very good to solve the problem of dispersion of light. It does not completely cut off, creating twilight lighting.
- For cabinets, chest of drawers and other furniture, which is placed in residential rooms. Pluses in this case outweigh the minuses, and the appearance turns out interesting.
Another area of application is like shadowing designs with a large glazing area. On terraces, in winter gardens, large balconies and loggias with solid glazing. What is the louvre doors better than ordinary blinds? The fact that "stationary doors can be opened, leaving closed blinds. There will be free air access and will not be too bright light.
Doors-blinds can be used as shading
As a partition, a distinguished room. For example, a fitting bed zone in the studio apartment. This option is ideal if there is no window in the signed zone. Such a partition and air access will provide, and the light will be missed in sufficient quantities, and creates a solitude.
Blind partitions To separate the sleeping place
In principle, the louvre lattices can be used and not directly intended - as a bulletin board, a screen, something closing or separating.
Louvrug Doors: Types, Materials
Let's start with the materials from which doors-blinds are manufactured. The bulk is made of wood. The budget option is from pine and ate, more expensive - from more solid (and more expensive) breeds. There is still plastic and metal. Plastic is the cheapest option that, nevertheless, is very practical.
Plastic louvre doors do not "lead" from moisture, they should not be painted, just wash. So for the locker in the bathroom or bathroom it is the perfect option. Good doors such and for the cabinet on the balcony. In general, in the forehead place where there is high humidity and / or require frequent cleaning.
Metal doors-blinds - part of the security system of the house
Metal louvre doors - the phenomenon is very rare, but there are also such. Entrance doors with blinds put very rarely, except in boilers with access to the street. So the area of their application is very limited.
By type, the louvre doors are the same as the usual:
- swing;
- sliding;
- Folding (harmonica or book).
With types, all are also - swing, sliding harmonic / book
They can consist of one, two, four or more flaps. All as in conventional models, only with the difference in filling.
There are still louvral doors with the possibility of adjustment. In this case, the slave plates are fixed moving. All of them are combined with one bar. Having been following the bar, you can change the position of the jumpers - to completely open, close, or leave small gaps.
Dimensions
In Supermarkets of the Obi and Lerua type Marlene, the stubble doors of pine are usually available. They are usually represented by one or two rules in different sizes. Most often, the parameters are such:
- width - 294 mm, 394 mm, 494 mm, 594 mm;
- Height - 606 mm, 720 mm, 993 mm, 1100 mm, 1700 mm, 2019 mm, 2422 mm.
There is a specific set of standard sizes.
These standard dimensions can be slightly adjusted - cut a couple of centimeters to height and width. If a completely non-standard option is needed, there are firms or private traders that make doors under the order - according to your sizes.
What to pay attention to when choosing
When choosing doors-blinds in the store, you need to pay attention first, on the quality of wood. The bitch should not be completely, or there should be few. They should be dense, brown (not black and without cracks).
The second point is geometry. All door leaf should lie in the same plane. This is the first - no longitudinal bends or "revenue" of the elements and the entire door as a whole. Next, check the length / width / thickness. They must coincide with accuracy to a millimeter.
Choose doors-blinds need carefully
And the latter is the quality of wood processing. Wooden louvral doors are sold unpacked. Painting will have independent. But the wood treated should be good. It is desirable that there are no roughness, irregularities and other defects, which then have to be eliminated with their own hands.
Possible ways to finish
Wooden louvral doors can be arranged almost a dozen different ways. There are traditional and not very. You can do as follows:
- Covered by mourn. Effect and appearance are known to everyone.
- Intake oil for wood. It is usually sold with a kel, but there are also the natural color of wooden products. These compositions have antiseptic properties, some can be used in baths and pools. As a result of this processing, the drawing of wood is manifested brighter, water does not absorb it into it. May even stand puddles. At the same time, there is no film on the surface, it is absolutely "natural" in appearance and to the touch.
Color to cover lacquer, wood oil - most popular finishing options
- Covered with varnish. This can be done after processing the verse or without it. Lucky is better to use water based. There are glossy, semi-shit, semiam and matte. The difference is to the degree of glitter of the treated surface.
- Paint. Wood paints are a variety of different effect. There are those that create a solid film, there are translucent, which do not paint the texture.
- Decoupage. Technique for creative interior.
- Inlay. A complex method of finishing, giving products a unique appearance.
These are all ways to finish wooden lattice doors. In any case, it is worth remembering that before finishing, it is necessary to fill all irregularities with putty on the tree, let them dry. After - to align all irregularities with sandpaper. And those that remained after putty, and those that were allowed in the production process. After that, all the planks and the frame are coated with a wood print. The type of primer is selected under the finish finish. After drying, you can conduct finishing work - paint, varnish, etc.
How to paint
The main difficulty consists in a large number of planks. With their painting, there are many drowshes and splashes. In order to avoid this trouble, there is a special procedure:
- Paint scotch tape with a frame from two sides of the door. We close the paper floor and adjacent sections of walls, furniture, etc.
- A wide flat painting brush (7-8 cm) on the planks apply a layer of primer. Brush well wipe on the edge of the cans so that there was a little composition. Machine first the bar on one side.
Applying a veil - Create the desired color and effect
- Dry flat brush smaller (5 cm wide) we remove all the traps and stains, evenly rubbing the composition.
- Go to the other side.
- After that, you can process the frame by removing with its greampy tape.
With this order, the quality of painting will be at least normal. It is important on time, before drying, remove the drums. Work is better with the compositions that do not dry very quickly.
If there is a paintopult, work will go easier and faster.
