How to choose the best deur?

Front deur is not just a key technical element of the building, but also the showcase of the house. Therefore, it must be pretty, and at the same time it should fulfil our expectations regarding geluidsisolatie, energiezuinigheid and veiligheid.

Good front deur ensures privacy and veiligheid, and it protects against external conditions, humidity, noise, wind and other factors that affect our everyday life.  Voordeuren are usually made from PVC, hout or aluminium. Obviously, each of the materials is characterized by slightly different properties.

The klassieks – hout

The most proper material for fans of traditional front deuren is hout. A lot of people consider this material to be klassiek, evoking also nostalgy. They are characterized by great thermal and akoestische isolatie parameters. 

Houten deuren may be executed in a variety of kleuren. Toevoegenitionally, they may be equipped with aluminium slat that protects against UV rays and rainwater, just like Softline 68 systeem by Drutex.

Easy maintenance - PVC

For many clients, deuren must stand out for perfect look and fulfil certain parameters in energiezuinigheid or geluidsisolatie, as well as be easy to maintain. Here, the good oplossing is definitely PVC deur. Water literally flows on them, and all kinds of dirt may be removed with a simple cloth and soap.

When buying PVC front deur, one should ask the seller what kind of fitting it is equipped with. It is important in order to secure our flat or home against burglary. This is the case with Iglo 5Iglo Energy deur by Drutex.

Indestructible - aluminium

In recent years, aluminium deuren have been gaining popularity. This light material is the most durable as well as the toughest. It is exceptionally resistant to  atmospheric conditions, and dirt may be easily removed. The technologie applied in the process of applying paint coating protects against corrosion, ensuring long durability.

However, since aluminium is a good conductor of sound and temperature, such deuren should be equipped with special inserts and gaskets. A good example of optimally insulated aluminium deur is the deur in MB-86SI systeem by Drutex. The systeem consists of a thermal separator made of glas fiber reinforced polyamide, which guarantees great parameters even after years of usage.  

Summary

When choosing the deur we must select the material that it will be made of, functions it will serve, the accessories – including smart opening and locking systeemen with a smartphone or a tablet, and, obviously, the aesthetic of the product. We should also pay attention to the producer’s ervaring as well as the certificates and attestations that he has. As a result, the acquired product will serve us for years, at the same time fulfilling our expectations regarding kwaliteit and usage comfort.
