Insulation


The front door in a private house is usually set on the border of street and premises. In the cold season its outer side is constantly exposed to low temperatures, the internal, on the contrary, is warm. Poor insulation of the door or its absence leads to the fact that accumulates inside the condensate freezes in snow cap, ice door does not protect from the cold.

To avoid all these hassles helps correct structure of the street-door. It is not only important which material is used as protection from freezing, but for whatever scheme he has installed in the door leaf. The optimal design of doors for a private house is a layer cake. First, the outer layer is the door panel. It can be made of wood or metal. The second layer – the insulation. It is important that he was with a high density ratio. Best suited extruded mineral wool. The third layer is the air layer. It protects the door from through freezing. Works on the principle of multi-chamber window when the air inside the structure does not allow the cold to penetrate the room. The fourth layer – the insulation again. Latest decorative inner panel.
When designing a house, the front door to better plan stand side where less wind. It will reduce the risk of deformation due to rain.


The contour of the door leaf must be fitted with a rubber seal that cold air does not pass at the junction with the door frame. The duct should also be insulated and equipped with a threshold. Some manufacturers began to supply models with electric heating boxes. This is the perfect solution for protection from possible freezing in extreme cold.

Durability


Since the street entrance door is constantly exposed to temperature extremes, effects of precipitation, ultraviolet radiation, to increased demands on durability. A metal door needs to be treated with anti-corrosion coating, resistant to fading.
Above the door it is necessary to organize a shed or a small vestibule. The canopy will protect the door from moisture and the scorching sun, and the lobby will provide additional thermal protection of the house.
Most reliable considers powder coating. Decorative panel made of wood necessarily processed by water-repellent impregnation and paint, resistant to temperature extremes. Private house is prone to some mobility where poor quality doors can warp. So the front door must be installed in a metal contral.

Burglar

However, for greater reliability, you can choose a strong input node. The cloth should be made of steel not thinner than 2 mm Better if the hinges are hidden, the door itself is equipped with two locks of different types. One of them is cylinder, the other lever.
