12 best entrance door manufacturers

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The front door is a real outpost of any house or apartment. Even modern burglar alarms are based primarily on the door block. Today, property owners also want to ensure the visual appeal of the entrance lobby. You can find many beautiful inexpensive doors on the market, but you should not rush to buy. Experts recommend paying attention to several important points.

Front door selection criteria

1. You can start with the main material of the front door. As you know, the perfect protection against a thief has not yet been invented. Therefore, from this point of view, metal, wooden and plastic models will be equally protected.

2. Not able to prevent unauthorized entry into the house and modern locks. Even new security systems become vulnerable over time. Therefore, only a whole range of measures can provide reliable protection for a house or apartment.

3. It makes no sense for an apartment owner to buy an expensive door with improved noise insulation if loud conversation of neighbors is clearly audible through the walls or ceiling. And the armor on the canvas will clearly be an extra protective element for the apartment.

4. When buying a steel model, you should pay attention to the quality of the coating. This is especially true for owners of houses and cottages. Polymer (powder) paint and various decorative panels provide good protection and aesthetic appearance.

5. The front door also has an inner surface. When a young and stupid dog or cat is bored in the house, the animal's claws can damage the beautiful canvas. It may be worth asking a sales consultant about the anti-vandal properties of the door.

6. In the domestic market, not only Russian, but also foreign manufacturers actively defend their positions. Our companies have significantly improved the quality of workmanship, practically not inferior to imported analogues in design. Moreover, the price of domestic products is significantly lower.

Our review includes the best entrance doors. When compiling the rating, the following criteria were taken into account:

1. innovativeness of designs;

2. sophistication of decoration;

3. price;

4. wealth of the lineup;

5. expert opinion;
