First of all, PVC doors are practical – they are easy to clean, easy to install, do not deform with changing temperature, and are really affordable. Their low weight is also an important factor, particularly appreciated by those who chose to build a light-frame house.
There are many more advantages to this type of door, e.g. non-flammability and outstanding sound absorption. If you are building or renovating a house in a noisy neighbourhood or, e.g. close to a busy street, consider choosing a PVC door.
Their design is identical to that used in windows, and it includes profiles, which in the case of a door need to be much stronger – class A profiles with minimum wall thickness of 2.8 mm are used in in quality doors.
The number and size of chambers also matter. This parameter affects the insulation coefficient of the door – the larger the chambers, the “warmer” the leaf. The profiles are filled with insulating material, most often with polyurethane foam, in some cases with polystyrene foam, mineral wool or polyamide foam.
