The choice of materials for decoration and furniture that will be used in the bathroom is always a difficult task, because the climate is noticeably different from the rest of the apartment, and all kinds of “extreme” conditions are enough there.
Of course, if the bathroom is large and ventilation is perfectly established in it, then it is much easier to solve this issue – any material is suitable for the door, it does not matter how moisture -resistant it is. But, unfortunately, quite large bathrooms can be found only in private houses or in apartments with a free layout, where you can independently decide what size this or that room will be. But what are the typical high -rise buildings, that in old houses bathrooms are usually two sizes: small and very tiny. In such a situation, when choosing a door, you have to focus first of all on the material, and only then, of the possible options, to choose the one that is best suited from the point of view of design.
One of the options extremely popular today is glass doors. After all, glass in the interior does not have to be transparent, it can be stained -glass, matte, with a pattern applied to it or completely mirrored – in general, so that, at a maximum, a soft light penetrates and nothing more is penetrated. How transparent the door will be considered in the store: just bring your hand to the door on one side, and look at it on the other – you usually need to tightly press your palm to the glass so that at least the silhouette becomes noticeable. Such a door is not subject to corrosion, it is absolutely not afraid of moisture, and the change of temperatures in the bathroom is not terrible for her. In addition, glass doors look very interesting and completely different designs they have a great many: from laconic just smooth matte surfaces to any complexity of stained -glass windows to order. However, a stained -glass window on such a door can be drawn on your own, if there is a desire and artistic abilities: it is enough to purchase special colors in a store of goods for creativity.
Do not be afraid that the door will break: a thick tempered glass is used for manufacture. Although, probably, if there are small children in the house, then, before buying such doors, you should think: a rather restless teenager is able to split a lot.
But leaving such a door can deliver some troubles – so that the glass door looks beautiful enough to wipe it quite often, especially in the bathroom: if droplets of condensate will remain on the surface, then the door will immediately acquire an untidy look.
Plastic or external finishing with plastic is also an option, especially now there are options almost completely imitating, for example, a tree, but not swelling about moisture. Such a door will be completely “deaf”, so it is suitable for those who nevertheless confused the first option, and at the same time the color can be selected in such a way that it harmonizes with other doors in the apartment, even if they are made of wood.
If you still certainly want to put a wooden door in the bathroom, you will have to look for moisture-resistant options. Firstly, not all wooden breeds are suitable in order to use them in the bathroom – you need to choose breeds that are moisture -resistant from nature. At the same time, in any case, the surface should be treated with anti -spoke impregnations, which will prevent the development of the fungus and covered with special, suitable for very wet rooms, varnish, that is, the door should be moisture resistant. Moreover, this information must be obtained not from the seller, but to judge by the marking applied by the manufacturer.
Often the design of the bathroom is noticeably different from the corridor and other rooms of the apartment, and so much that the door, which is perfectly looking in the corridor and harmonizes with other doors of the apartment, is completely not suitable for the interior decoration of the bathroom. To resolve such difficult situations, there are now doors with different design: that is, on the one hand, the door will look like this, and on the other, otherwise – otherwise. Moreover, manufacturers select combinations in such a way that the door is harmonious and you can choose the option suitable for two completely different rooms. Another option will be the door mirror on one side – usually the mirror “looks” into the bathroom, and the other surface is selected in such a way as to harmonize with the corridor.
