Apartment doors require higher quality, better properties and security than normal interior doors. Therefore, apartment doors should not be built of thin-walled honeycomb core construction and weak layers of timber. It is rather important to choose quality and strength, as apartments are often targeted by burglars. Not many apartments allow view to the main entrance door, which allows criminals to pretend they are postmen or tradesmen. Such an intrusion gives the opportunity of opening apartment doors of insufficient strength. More brazen criminals might even enter an occupied apartment to take valuables with force. Therefore, restrictors and door viewers should be installed, giving the tenants additional safety and a comfortable feeling.
Whether you have a small or large apartment look for apartment doors that provide your needs. Apartment doors should also be beautifully designed modern doors that can also make a statement by adding an elegant and sleek look to your contemporary apartment. The modern doors range comes in both standard and bespoke sizes and includes fire doors and glazed doors.
Apartment doors are made up of different materials such as steel, fiberglass and wood. Steel is the readily available budget option, although they can be both heavy to install and hard to cut through to customize. They usually come pre-primed, which makes for easy painting. But because metal is a good conductor, these aren't as energy efficient as fiberglass versions.
Fiberglass doors are less affordable than steel, but last the longest without heavy maintenance, as they resist rot, denting, rusts, warps and cracks. Today, you can get a fiberglass door that even looks like wood, with a similar texture which can also make it harder to paint.
Wood is perhaps the most beautiful option, but harder to maintain than the other two types. They are more subject to temperature and humidity fluctuations, which potentially leads to warping and cracking. When it's time to repaint, you'll need to scrape or peel off old paint before you
paint again.
The bottom line is apartment doors should be well chosen based on your requirements, security and aesthetic taste.
