Interior doors solid alder

When making repairs in an apartment or house, we always try to perform it in the best way. We select the most suitable and high-quality materials for decoration. We study interior design options. We are trying to choose the best quality furniture that meets our requirements of appearance and design. Far from in last place during the repair is the question of choosing a door. Further, the article will consider the features of alder products, options for their operation and methods of care for such products.

Criterias of choice

Having paid enough attention to the choice of doors and having studied their assortment, everyone can choose models that suit their personal needs and wealth.

In recent years, door models made of PVC and metal are actively gaining popularity. Sometimes, in order to give the door structures made of artificial materials a natural look, manufacturers use natural veneer as an external lining.

However, products made entirely from natural material are also popular and in great demand. Thanks to modern production technologies, allowing to strengthen and improve the quality of wooden structures, models of wood are often practically inferior to artificial doors.

Of course, the correct production technology of the product plays a large role in the final quality of the product and its durability. Do not lose sight of the characteristics of the wood itself.

Doors are made of such wood species as oak, ash, alder, hornbeam, maple, walnut, pine. Each type of wood has various properties and features. Undoubtedly, a conscientious manufacturer seeks to improve these properties. It must be understood that walnut can never be compared with oak in strength. And, for example, maple will not be able to have moisture resistance of an alder or hornbeam.

Depending on the rarity of the wood species, its properties, the complexity of its processing, the cost of the finished product varies quite widely. From budget models available to buyers with low incomes, to products at very high, almost royal prices.

The most expensive models are oak and hornbeam. These are very durable wood species, products from them are difficult to process. Entrance doors are often made from oak. They are very solid and reliable, the external design gives the product a rich look.

The cheapest are the doors of pine and walnut. These materials are well suited for interior doors. They are lightweight, do not require specific complex care. Production technology allows you to make them quite durable and beautiful in appearance.

Doors from the massif of an alder have an average price category. Depending on the thickness of the canvas, alder doors can be both entrance and interior. Products do not have too much weight, they look beautiful and elegant due to the characteristics of this type of wood fiber.

Features of doors made of solid alder

To begin with, we turn to the process of manufacturing door structures from wood, in particular, from an alder massif. As mentioned above, the quality of the finished product depends on the quality of wood processing and the manufacturer's compliance with work standards.

Doors made of wood can be made in two ways. The first option is the processing of a single piece of wood. The second option is just an array of tree species. An array of wood is a plate of wood glued together. This product design is much stronger than that made of solid wood.

At the first stage, material is prepared. Much attention is paid to the initial quality of wood, which depends on the age of the tree and growing conditions. The tree is well dried. Wood plates are treated with special compounds that increase the anti-corrosion properties of the product. The finished door goes through the process of grinding and coating with several layers of varnish.

Initially, alder wood plates are rather light. Thanks to a special treatment, the tree acquires a noble deep red hue. No wonder the alder is usually called Russian mahogany.

When choosing a door made of alder or other species, pay attention to the manufacturer. The leader in quality and assortment at the moment is Belarus. Among Russian manufacturers there are also many who have positive reviews about their products.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like many other natural or artificial, doors made of solid alder have both advantages and disadvantages. First, the advantages of door structures made of alder wood:

High strength and moisture resistance. This tree species often grows in swampy areas, but it does not undergo rot and decay. Most of the piles on the streets of Venice were made of alder and remained strong for many years, despite constant contact with water. Doors from the massif of an alder do not warp, do not crack, perfectly tolerate changes in temperature and humidity. They are not exposed to direct sunlight. Thanks to this, the warmed models with a thicker canvas can well serve as entrance doors.
Beautiful and stylish appearance. Alder wood looks very beautiful even without decoration. This breed has elongated fibers that can change color throughout its length. This quality makes the wood look like marble. The noble red shade of the door leaf makes this product a real decoration of the interior. If stained glass is included in the decoration of an alder door, the product will acquire a gothic strict style.

Alder wood, like any natural material, very environmentally friendly. And alder, among other things, has long been known for its healing properties and positive soothing energy. Doors from an alder will bring a cozy cosiness and the warm atmosphere to the house.
Durability of a door leaf. Subject to the rules of operation and the absence of strong damaging effects, alder products can last more than thirty years and please more than one generation in your family. Doors made of natural linen can be easily repaired and restored in case of damage.

I must admit that against the background of the obvious advantages and advantages of this material, its shortcomings are very insignificant. However, it would be wrong to not mention them at all. The negative sides of alder doors include:

Alder canvas several moody in leaving. It does not tolerate abrasive substances. The door leaf must be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth or with gentle compositions. This rule will have to be remembered and observed during the operation of the product. Otherwise, you can cause significant harm to the appearance of wood.
Alder’s second weakness is her instability to constant or very long high temperatures. It was mentioned above that this material tolerates changes in temperature conditions, but the constant presence near a hot radiator or other device that gives a strong heat flux is destructive for an alder door.

However, this is not such an impossible task. After all, interior doors are almost never located next to radiators. And knowing this feature of alder wood, it is only necessary to avoid leaving heating appliances near the door of this breed for a long or constant period.

Features of care and maintenance

At the end of the article, we will pay attention to the rules for caring for doors made of solid alder:

Before installing the door leaf, you must hold it in the room for about two days. So the tree will adapt to the features of the temperature and humidity of the room. After this, the canopy of the structure can be carried out.
Do not install alder doors near the heating system and other appliances that constantly generate a lot of heat.
It is advisable to process the door leaf with a special polish at least once a year. This will prevent the formation of cracks and help stop the development of existing surface microdamages.

Be sure to consult a consultant when selecting a polish, as it should be suitable specifically for this type of wood.

Use a soft, damp cloth or dry wipes to clean the door. In no case do not allow the contact of natural material with abrasive or chemical cleaners.
Once every 3-4 years, it is necessary to treat the wood sheet with special compounds to protect against insects. Such compounds can be purchased at furniture stores or household goods.
To preserve the beautiful appearance of the varnish surface and prevent its tarnishing, it is necessary to wipe the door leaf with a weak alcohol solution once a month. The most optimal for use is a ten percent alcohol solution.
After cleaning the surface of the product with a damp cloth, thoroughly wipe the surface with a dry cloth. This will reduce the amount of dust settling on the varnish surface, thereby preventing its clouding.
