PVC carpentry has become very popular in recent years. This is not a coincidence because PVC offers numerous advantages over other materials. The quality and technology of production in recent years have significantly improved when it comes to these types of materials, bringing them new advantages. Aluminum, on the other hand, used to be in trend even before, especially in terms of design.
In practice, PVC doors are usually a better thermal insulator, while aluminum brings them a more elegant design and better mechanical properties. These are their particularly important advantages when it comes to exterior doors. What should you consider when choosing interior doors if you decide on these materials?
Interior doors made of plastic materials
You should be careful with PVC carpentry when it comes to interior doors. Interior doors made of PVC or uPVC materials may, due to their appearance, “leave the impression” of entering into business facilities. They tend to appear unnatural in the living space as an element that has no place there at all. Therefore, you should pay special attention to the design itself.
On the other hand, plastic and aluminum materials seal well and are top insulators. That lead to the idea to introduce them into the interior. Furthermore, they are great solution for balcony doors or doors with a partition function. However, when it comes to aesthetics, these doors are harder to fit even with modern design furniture. At the same time, they always perfectly complement the exterior facade and are the most reliable choice as a safety factor.
Interior doors made of aluminum and metal
Aluminum is a material that has been frequently used before, either independently or even better in combination with other elements. In practice, the combination of aluminum with glass proved to be the best, where the glass is the accompanying “decorator” within the door, and aluminum dominates. Unlike plastic materials, such models fit more easily into the home interior.
You can decorate your home with interior doors made of solid glass panels with a discreet frame or without a frame, only with aluminum hinges and a handle. Such doors are designed primarily for use in office and commercial spaces. However, they also proved to be a complete success in residential environment.
Metal doors fit best with minimalist furniture and cooler colors that dominate the space. Naturally, glass-metal doors are not only for a space decorated in cool colors. The same as veneered doors are not a solution exclusively for a warm interior. These types of room doors are part of a trend that we could roughly call a modern classic.
