Eco-style doors - pros and cons
Interior doors made of eco-veneer are the best alternative to expensive and heavy materials. A large selection of door panels, characterized by excellent external design and high strength, make it possible to choose the best option suitable for the style of almost any interior. Externally, the coating made of" ecological veneer " practically does not differ from products made of natural and expensive wood. There are also no cardinal differences to the touch. Of course, the doors made of eco-veneer have disadvantages, but they are easily overlapped by a much larger number of advantages.
Ecoshpon – what kind of material is it
Eco-veneer is a modern material and there are relatively few door panels finished with it on the market so far. And many buyers have not heard about it, but we can safely say that its popularity is only growing every year. The structure of the "ecological veneer" is represented by a high-tech multilayer fabric, which is based on natural wood fibers and synthetic resins that are completely safe for health.
The production of eco-veneer consists of the following stages:
- preparation of raw materials – waste from the wood industry is used for this;
- painting wood in a certain color-thanks to this technology, you can get absolutely identical canvases;
- connection of fibers with resin;
- pressing under the influence of high temperatures-any gas inclusions are completely removed from the material, which contributes to an increase in integrity and strength.
As a result, the output is an eco-veneer with a unique structure and high plasticity. It is something in between a plastic film coating and natural wood. The name "ecoshpon" is a direct reference to environmental friendliness. At the same time, this material is more economical than, for example, laminated analogues.
Advantages of eco-veneer doors
"Ecological veneer" can be used for finishing door panels of almost any type-from solid structures to panel ones. At the same time, compliance with the production technology and the materials used have a great influence on the final quality. If the factory collects fragile canvases or incorrectly applies a finishing coating, then eco-veneer will not give special advantages to such doors. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase eco-veneer doors from reliable manufacturers with a good reputation and providing a guarantee for their products.
The main advantages of the "ecological veneer" include:
- light weight - often the door panels are quite light, which has a beneficial effect on transportation and installation;
- wear resistance – this material is able to withstand the effects of ultraviolet radiation for a long time without losing its original color, it is also very resistant to chipping, impact and abrasion;
- eco-friendliness is a completely clean coating, there are no harmful toxic substances in it that can harm health;
- moisture resistance – such doors can be used even in bathrooms, even with prolonged exposure to a humid environment, they do not crack and do not swell;
- easy to clean – you can use chemicals to clean the door, but most of the dirt can be removed with a simple damp cloth;
- low price - you can buy eco-veneer doors in Moscow much cheaper than solid wood canvases or veneered ones.
Disadvantages of eco-style
Among the main disadvantages are:
- lightness – we have already attributed this point to the advantages, but light weight is also a disadvantage, with frequent hits against the wall, the canvas can deform;
- the complexity of restoration – with severe damage to the door, it is no longer possible to restore it to its original condition;
low noise insulation, if hollow canvases are used.
Like all other products, eco-veneer doors have pros and cons that need to be taken into account when buying. They are excellent for installation in commercial and residential premises, children's rooms and bathrooms.
