What interior doors are better?
The answer to this question lies on the surface: it all depends on the quality of raw materials and the integrity of the manufacturer. Today, all well-known Russian factories produce canvases:
- Laminated
- Veneered
- From solid pine, oak and other valuable species.
Laminated and veneered interior doors are a complex structure consisting of:
1) CarcassIt is formed from the most resistant to deformations of spliced or glued softwood. By production of this element only technical grades with the minimum content of residual moisture and pitch "pockets" are used;
2) MDF outdoor plates, veneered with natural or restored veneer, PVC or melamine film. In the first case, veneered doors are obtained, and in the second - laminated doors. Chipboard, OSB, plywood and other types of plate materials have not been used for a long time already, because they are significantly inferior to MDF in terms of stability and processing capabilities (milling, facing, etc.);
3) Internal filling. Doors of economy class, as a rule, are hollow or filled with cellular cardboard. In more expensive products invest thin slats, creating additional noise insulation.
Products from the massif the structure is homogeneous (full-bodied), diverse in design and extremely beautiful.

Ordered veneered door Modum Oak. Cloths are beautiful, open well, do not creak. For 2.5 years, nothing “led”, but the door installed in the bathroom was covered with whitish stains due to poor ventilation. The store offered to eliminate this drawback with special chemicals from the same plant. |

I bought three doors Spaziya-3 with tinted glass. The canvases are very good, incredibly beautiful, absolutely no complaints about them. Easily "walk", do not creak. But the box turned out to be scratched due to poor packaging - simple cellophane, while the door itself was literally wrapped with thick cardboard, and at the ends - foam lining. |
According to the factory management, the organization of the enterprise was a “pure experiment”. And today it can be safely called successful. The workshops of the plant are equipped with modern Finnish and German equipment, and the number of models has long exceeded 1000 units. The plant produces:

Bought in the store five doors Ocean Stormy. They are very beautiful, literally transformed the interior. But during the installation, it was found that the technical holes do not have decorative plugs, and it is not clear how the holes are to be fastened - the connecting gaps are not provided. At the end of the year, they found that at the ends of some doors the veneer had moved a little. |
Doors of the Matador PC (Gavrilov-Yam)
In 1999, the Matadoor production company announced itself, which entered the market with interior doors made of solid wood and veneered MDF. The basic difference from analogs was in the revolutionary design, the use of various processing techniques and, most importantly, the affordable, competitive price (now it is from 7,000 rubles / set). Today, the range includes a full set - from economy segment to premium. The main and auxiliary shops of the enterprise occupy an area of 25,000 m2. Are made by:
Warehouses of finished products are located in all major cities, from Moscow to Magadan, and the warehouse program includes at least 4,000 units. Cloths Matador are available in seven collections, differing not only in style, but also in the applied manufacturing techniques. So the Modern line will perfectly fit into the classic interior, and the floral patterns on the glass inserts give the door a bit of charm. In contrast, the Ekoshpon series is pretentious and suitable for modern minimalist style solutions. A certain amount of exoticism and a rainbow note will be added to the design of the space by Enamel series products. Yellow, red, green and blue cheerful canvases will become a peculiar accent in the decor of the room. For fans of originality, the same company offers a collection of Basic Instinct. The design in classic Italian style is complemented by milled images of various birds and animals. Main advantages:

She ordered two doors, the Matador Sagittarius - I liked the unobtrusive, original design, the color of the whitened oak. Especially pleased with the presence of sealing gum, because in the house with the children drafts - an undesirable phenomenon. The installation revealed several drawbacks: a small box thickness (only 2.5 cm instead of 4), a fragile veneer that broke off at the slightest pressure during installation. When operating there are no squeaks, it opens and closes easily, but all the same - the door requires careful handling. |
Features laminated interior doors
Coating such doors are usually melamine, acrylic or polyvinyl chloride films, painted and textured for precious woods. They protect hygroscopic web materials from moisture and deformation. Laminating films do not need to be refined with varnishes or paints. This type of coating is also called ekoshpon. There are varieties of coating that so realistically convey the texture and pattern of the simulated wood surface that it can be quite difficult to visually distinguish them from natural veneer. Laminating coatings are used to finish the doors with honeycomb and rack filler.
Melamine paper, impregnated with formaldehyde resins, and textured for different types of wood, is a cheaper coating of MDF doors with a honeycomb material that is not resistant to abrasion, mechanical stress and moisture.
The manufacturing technology of laminated doors on the basis of a wooden frame includes the following stages:
- making a frame from a coniferous timber;
- filling the internal space with filler (cardboard, paper, slats);
- gluing MDF plates;
- lining with laminating film and thermal pressing.
In the area of the lock inset, an additional piece of bar is glued for its fasteners. In the so-called lightweight doors, a grid of thin cardboard in the form of honeycombs placed on an edge can act as a placeholder for the voids between the carcass guides. The entire assembly is glued at elevated temperature and pressure using a press. After drying, it becomes tough, durable and light. The box and the trim with dobory to such doors are usually made of MDF and pasted over with a film material.
The main worth laminated interior doors is a small price with fairly good indicators of appearance. A mid-budget version of such a door complete with a box and a set of facial platbands will cost about 12,000 rubles. The term of operation and strength characteristics of such door panels, due to their lightweight frame construction, are significantly less than high-quality solid wood canvases. However, this does not prevent them from becoming more and more popular, and manufacturing companies to develop more and more new modifications of cheap doors for a wide class of consumers.
Features veneered interior doors
The technology of veneering wood veneer of valuable species of trees is used by manufacturers to improve the decorative quality of low-cost interior doors. There are fragmented and full veneering.
In the first case, the assembled product is veneered over individual fragments, then being assembled into a single unit. The veneer is glued under the heat press, as a rule, after assembling all the elements into a solid panel.
In the second case, the MDF slab is pre-milled, processed on various machines. Then a special thermosetting adhesive composition is applied, a layer of veneer is applied and sent under a vacuum thermal press. The output is a great facing panel for the future of the canvas.
Veneered doors are usually more expensive than laminated, because the technology of their production is more labor-intensive, and the applied decorating material has a disproportionately high cost. The average price of doors ranges from 12-18 thousand rubles. A large role is played by the popularity of the brand among buyers.
Features of doors from the array
The main material for the production of doors of any class and price category is wood. From cheap softwood produce doors costing from 7000 rubles. The price of exclusive models made of precious woods can reach 300-500 thousand rubles. The average cost of available and common models, ranging from 15 to 30 thousand rubles.
The door from the massif is the combined wooden design consisting of guides, cross crossing points and panels. Instead of the latter, there may be glass inserts. The inner contour of the guides and the crossings, at the whim of the designers, can be ornate fancy lines that organize the door leaf into a single organic composition.
The design of the doors of the array is very diverse in stylization and mood. Finishing can be the most unusual - from tinted varnishes, to patinated using gold and mother of pearl. Glass manufacturers often replace expensive stained glass windows or trim with crystals and stones, adding extra luxury and wealth to the model.
Among the manufacturers of high-quality doors from the array can also be distinguished factories that produce low-cost, middle-class and luxury doors.
Is it hard to decide?
When deciding which interior doors are better to buy, we advise you not to go to extremes, but carefully analyze all the features of products of one manufacturer or another, evaluate financial opportunities and, of course, take into account the features of the interior of the room in which the doors will be operated.
In our ranking, we tried to present the best manufacturers of interior doors in each price category.
Doors from MDF, with a cellular filler, are hygroscopic and are afraid of wet rooms. In addition, they are not durable, and may be more a temporary component in the interior. In private cottage buildings or country houses, where temperature and humidity drops in a large range, they are not recommended.
Expensive solid wood doors of solid wood (oak, ash, beech, larch, walnut, mahogany), properly trimmed and protected from moisture, can serve for centuries, remaining a worthy acquisition for future generations. When buying cheap solid wood doors, it is necessary to make sure that the wood is well dried, otherwise very soon they will have to be completely replaced.
Whatever your choice of interior doors, properly installed and harmoniously matched to the interior, they will be pleasing to the eye for a long time and will not become the cause of another exhausting repair.
