Warm Finnish entrance doors: advantages, equipment, manufacturers. Instructions for installation of external doors Instructions for maintenance of external doors

The door block is not load-bearing building element, therefore, loads from building structures should not be transferred to it. Leave a gap of at least 5 mm between the box and the building structure.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Unpack the door frame.
2. On a flat surface that excludes damage to the product, assemble the elements of the box by selecting the desired side of the canvas opening. Check that the edges of the crossbar and the buttocks are in the same plane, and in the place where they fit, the gap does not exceed 1 mm. On the back side of the crossbar, drill four through holes, and then connect the box elements to the self-tapping screws. For a self-tapping screw 4.2 x 70 we recommend a drill with a diameter of 3.5 mm.
3. Insert the frame into the doorway and secure with wedges (at least three points on each side).
4. Using a strictly vertical level, fix the hinged rack with a perforator and fixing screws, using spacers between the opening and the box at the attachment points.
5. Loosen the hinge screw and hang the door leaf.
6. Close the door leaf, and set the post on the lock side so that the door leaf fits around the perimeter, ensuring an even gap, and fix the post in this position.
7. Open and close the canvas several times, making sure that it is installed correctly and nothing interferes with closing. Right installed door(when it is opened at 45°) must not open or close spontaneously.
8. Finally fix the hinges on the self-tapping screws and install the fittings.
9. Fill the mounting gap between the box and the wall with a low expansion polyurethane foam(if using foam, follow the manufacturer's instructions).
10. The platband is recommended to be installed only after the complete drying of the mounting foam. During the drying period of the foam (about 12 hours), the door should be kept closed at all times.

CHANGING THE SIDE OF THE LEAF

A blind canvas of a standard size in height is both right and left. This is achieved due to the vertical symmetry of the canvas.

To change the door opening direction:

• unscrew the fixing screws and pull the lock body out of the door, turn it by 180° (so that the lock tongue is on top, above the bolt), install the lock in this position back;
• pull the bolt out of the lock body with pliers by 3 mm and turn it 180°.

Necessary tools for installation: screwdriver with a set of bits, rotary hammer or hammer drill, level, hacksaw, measuring tape.

Finnish door hinges are fasteners that have won the trust of consumers thanks to high quality and excellent performance. Today, Finnish doors are widely used as interior and office doors, for a bath or sauna, as well as entrance doors in a house or any building. Often they are chosen for ease of installation and durability of the structure. In a set of such doors, the entire necessary fittings, and the Finnish hinges are already cut into the door leaf and into the box. However, in some cases it is required to purchase them separately from the door array. This may be necessary in a number of situations:

• in case of failure of existing parts;
• when installing a door similar to the Finnish one, but of a different production;
• if desired, use this convenient design with other doors.

In any case, I want the quality of the purchased parts to be as good as the original. The Metallist plant offers products of its own production, manufactured according to modern European standards. Focusing on Hi-tech, we do not forget about time-tested materials, and therefore the result is durable and reliable.

Is it possible to put standard mortise fittings on an interior Finnish door? How to choose a handle and an overlay according to the color of the canvas? What kind of mechanism is installed in cylinder locks, can it be replaced with a regular eurocylinder? The answers to these and other questions are in our new article.

1. IN BRIEF: WHAT ARE FINNISH DOORS

Finnish standard doors are a ready-to-install door block. It includes:

• already drunk and assembled box height 2090 mm.
• A smooth or paneled canvas with a porch (quarter), into which the lock, its striker and hinges are embedded.

Thus, the assembly is simplified as much as possible. The buyer only needs to fix the block in the opening, pick up the handles and the lining and screw it into the canvas through two factory holes. Works for half an hour, no more.

Cloths at such doors, as a rule, are lightweight (with honeycomb filling) and thin (15-60 mm), and the fittings are as simple as possible. This is due to the low cost - from about 2,000 rubles per block. Add to this the amazing ability to combine with anything - even with home furniture from IKEA, even with equipment and sterile white walls of an x-ray room. It becomes clear why Finnish doors are so popular.

Nevertheless, the doors of the Finnish type have one unpleasant feature. They have their own fittings, so standard lever handles, locks, linings and hinges will not work with them. Let's talk about this in more detail.

2. HANDLES FOR FINNISH DOORS

They have an emphatically ascetic design - no ornament and bizarre shapes. Structurally, they are very simple and, unlike standard handles, are not spring-loaded. The base has two holes for tie-down screws, screw fixing is not possible.


.

Questions and answers

1. “Is it possible to put an ordinary push handle on a Finnish door?”
No, they won't fit the lock due to the discrepancy between the holes for the tie screws (in a Finnish lock, the holes for the ties are not in a horizontal plane). They also have different sockets (for Finnish door handles- 50 mm, just under the factory hole on the canvas; standard ones often have more). Often a square does not fit: either too long (140 mm or more instead of the required 90-100 mm), or the wrong section.

2. “But the shop assistants say you can…”
If you expand the hole in the canvas, remake the return spring of the handle and bore holes in the lock body. But this is a waste of time, effort, money and no guarantee that the result will justify itself.

3.“What materials are Finnish interior door handles made of?”
Usually - from silumin, aluminum or zinc alloy TsAM. The latter are more reliable, but also more expensive (the cost approaches the price of the door). Silumin handles, although cheap, are fragile and short-lived. Accordingly, aluminum golden mean. We sell exactly aluminum handles, you can order them in our online store.

4.“How to choose a handle to match the color of the door?”
The easiest way is with a white handle: it goes well with white, as well as a number of light and pastel shades from the RAL palette. Chrome goes well with gray doors. If the canvas is finished under a tree, it is already more difficult. You can use our table as a guide:

3. DECISION LOCKS FOR FINNISH DOORS

On the "native" (made in Finland) doors are installed interior locks Abloy, on Russian-made Finnish doors - as a rule, their counterparts. You can buy any, by and large the difference is only in cost. All locks are universal (suitable for left and right doors), have a latch, and some have a locking mechanism (cylinder or lever).

Website price: from 299 rubles.

Questions and answers

1. “Is it possible to install a standard mortise instead of a Finnish lock?”
No, because of the discrepancy between the dimensions, the distance from the center of the key hole to the edge of the lock, the length of the bolt projection (for Finnish locks - 13-14 mm), incompatibility with handles and sanitary overlays.

2. “Which mechanism (“larva”) fits my cylinder lock?”
With a probability of 95%, your lock is equipped with a eurocylinder (DIN). You will recognize it by the characteristic drop-shaped silhouette of the end part:


All eurocylinders are interchangeable, the brand of the manufacturer does not play a role. By the way, you can buy them from us. In this case, you can choose a cylinder of the same class or a more advanced model: with big amount secret combinations and improved hacking protection. At least 5 keys are included with each cylinder.

3. "I can functionally replace the lever mechanism of the lock with a plumbing wrap (and vice versa)"?
Yes. True, keep in mind that you will need to change the turnkey lining.

4. “Why aren’t magnetic locks installed on Finnish-style doors?”
Installed, but rarely. First, not all manufacturers make them. Secondly, these are usually the simplest plumbing latches without a locking mechanism. Thirdly, they are 3-5 times more expensive than mechanical models, are not as durable and require ultra-precise alignment with the striker.

5. “Finnish technology door locks make a loud clicking sound when they are activated. What can be done?"
This is a feature of mechanical locks with a metal latch. You can reduce clanging by installing seals at the corners of the box and adjusting the striker.

6. “My striker is worn out. Can I buy it separately without changing the lock?
Yes, take a look at our catalogue.

4. LININGS FOR FINNISH DOORS

They play a decorative role, closing the factory opening in the canvas, or expand the functionality of the latch, turning it into a lock. Chose the color of the handle.

Questions and answers

1. “Plugs, wraps, turnkey overlays - how do they differ?”

Cap (shield) - an overlay with an exclusively decorative function. Install on interior doors with a latch lock (for example, in the living room).


Wrap (latch) - an overlay with a rotary handle that allows you to lock the door with a latch from the inside. Suitable for bathroom, toilet.


pad under cylinder mechanism. Suitable for cabinets, offices and other commercial or public spaces - doors requiring locking with a key.


Lever key cover. The set of locks for Finnish doors model 004 includes a pinocchio key.

2. "Will regular pads fit?"
No, due to incompatibility with locks and discrepancy between the diameter of the escutcheon (should be 50 mm).

5. HINGES FOR FINNISH DOORS

It is difficult to find them for sale, and they are rarely interested in them: pre-installed factory ones are enough for 15-30 years of service, and often more. But if you cannot do without replacing the hinges, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer or supplier of your doors.


A fallback option is screw-in hinges, they are just right for rebate canvases and have vertical adjustment. True, they are not suitable for very thin doors (they can split the canvas when screwed in).

We remind you that in our catalog you can buy accessories for any Finnish doors, regardless of the brand and country of origin of the manufacturer. Compatibility - 100%.
Prices - from 39 rubles.

Starting from 2019, the EU countries are switching to residential construction standards, according to which the level of thermal insulation of private and multi-storey buildings cannot be lower than the "passive" class (energy consumption for heating must not exceed 15 kWh/(m² year)). Thermal resistance windows and doors within this class - not less than 0.9 (m² K) / W. IN climatic conditions Northern Europe and middle lane RF only Finnish entrance doors meet these requirements. However, in the domestic private housing construction, these products have enjoyed well-deserved respect for more than 20 years, regardless of any foreign standards.

Our developers use the term "doors with a thermal break". What does this mean? To explain, let's take a short digression into architecture and design.

A good architectural solution for thermal cutoff is the arrangement of a vestibule with inner door, duplicating the input. However, why spend money on two doors instead of one and lose square meters for the arrangement of the vestibule, if everything can be decided differently?

Two types of heat loss are associated with entrance doors - heat transfer and convection. In the first case, energy saving is achieved by using heat insulators, in the second case, by using high-quality seals that eliminate air leaks through the gaps. Design door leaf on the principle of a sandwich panel, it removes the issue of increased heat transfer over the area. At the same time, the absence of an all-metal shell excludes the formation of a perimetric cold bridge. After all, even a “classic” door that is well insulated inside freezes through for this reason.

What is a thermal break in simple terms: when you remove a pan with metal handles from the stove, then in order not to burn yourself, take an oven mitt. So the tack will be a thermal break.

IN door blocks thermal insulation material divided into several layers. The transitions between the layers of insulation will act as a thermal break.

In addition to direct heat loss in cold winter conditions, all-metal doors can also cause aesthetic inconvenience: frost on the canvas and a puddle of condensate at the threshold in the hallway do not look very “cozy” ... Finnish entrance doors are deprived of all these shortcomings. Along with the insulated sheet, the thermal break in them is also ensured by the structural features of the box.

Other Benefits of Passive House Doors

Like most Scandinavian products, warm wooden doors are positioned not only in terms of energy saving, but also in terms of environmental friendliness. The principle of zero gas emission is maintained with respect to all components - from the frame and filler to the cladding and the type of emulsion finish paint.

The consumer chooses between flat painted or aluminum surfaces, as well as bas-reliefs and milling different depth and stylistics. glass inserts complement the aesthetic palette. By the way, about glass: as in energy-saving windows, warm Finnish doors use a two-chamber double-glazed window with k-glass and argon filling of the chambers.

Finnish warm double-glazed doors

Products of the "arctic" type (as the doors of this category are also called) are superior to conventional wooden input modules in terms of strength, reliability, durability and heat saving. They are not afraid of any climatic zones and vagaries of the weather. Despite the "northern" version, the parameters of the product even in southern conditions improve the microclimate of the house, preventing the penetration of heat into the hallway and living room.

These doors favorably differ from armored metal doors not only because they are warmer. The mass of the product is also important. With the same quality of canopies, Finnish arctic doors open and close easier. Their canvases do not warp during prolonged use.

Distinguishes Finnish manufacturers and a wide range of design developments. Why is wide variability of the model range of entrance doors important? The fact is that the interior of a northern European house implies the absence of a hallway. Entry group located in the living room. Therefore, both the entrance from the street and the passages to the rooms are in sight at the same time. Therefore, the product should be in harmony not only with the exterior of the house, but also with the overall style of the interior, if possible, matching the design with interior doors.

Typical configuration of products of the Arctic category

Typically, the leaf of such a door consists of a sandwich with a thickness of 60 mm. Its layers are:

• Outside, HDF sheets coated with weather resistant paint.
• Aluminum sheet. Carries the functions of waterproofing and giving the canvas additional rigidity.
• Frame made of laminated glued laminated timber (does not lead in the most severe climatic conditions).
• A layer of extruded polystyrene foam with a density of 200 kg/m³.
• Door lock type Multihela 4565, cylinder TrioVing Assa Abloy.

The frame and threshold are made of hardwood. Section 115×42 mm. There is an aluminum trim on the threshold. It is the rejection of the all-aluminum threshold and its replacement with a one made of solid wood that provides a lower thermal break, which is ignored in traditional designs of entrance door frames. An elastic sealing contour is made both along the perimeter of the web and from the receiving part of the box.

The size range of canvases is based on a multiplicity of 100 mm in width and 10 mm in height. The main dimensions are 900×2100 and 1000×2100. They accept Finnish enterprises and orders for the production of doors for non-standard openings. However, with a competent organization of construction and repair processes, the likelihood of such a need is zero, especially if you take into account the possibility of filling the opening due to side transoms (narrow additional wings).

You should be careful when buying Finnish doors in domestic building supermarkets. To reduce the price, sometimes the original canvases are completed with Russian, Belarusian or Chinese boxes without a lower thermal break and sometimes without a seal .

You should also not order Finnish doors with reinstallation of locks of a different design. It is better to use the original ones, since, in addition to all their other advantages, they provide adjustment of the locking density. And this is important for fitting sealing contours.

The main manufacturers of Finnish doors

We choose warm Finnish doors from trusted manufacturers

The products of the Fenestra brand were the first to enter the domestic market (since 2014, they have been produced under the Kaski brand). Some Finnish models, such as the Fenestra ST2000, are jokingly called “Russian folk doors” by developers and sellers because of their stable (more than 20 years!) demand for them. In addition to Kaski, the brands EDUX and Jeld-Wen have earned the trust of consumers. The average price tag for their products is somewhat lower than that of Kaski with comparable design and quality. IN Jeld-Wen doors veneer is used, glued on HDF sheets. This is the only structural difference from the Kaski and EDUX models.

In Kaski, in addition to the standard thickness of 60 mm, there is a thermo category with a blade of 86 mm. The meaning of this modification is to increase the thickness of the expanded polystyrene insert. thermo doors are noticeably more expensive than the basic 60 mm models. Another feature of the brand is that hi-tech and modern options are presented in an impressive number of designs. However, in model lines of all the mentioned manufacturers provide solutions for the main types of individual development - archaic stone houses, log cabins in the style of modern country minimalism, cottages with Victorian clinker brick cladding and laconic constructivist concrete "cubes".

Ensuring thermal break during installation

Correct setting of the input wooden doors the arctic has some features associated with the exclusion of cold bridges. First, the horizontalness of the floor surface in the opening is checked and, if necessary, leveled. wooden plank, the width is less than the thickness door frame. The gap under the bar is carefully foamed (after installing the door). A layer of elastic material with insulating and waterproofing properties is laid on the bar. Usually, mineral wool impregnated with paraffins is used.

The installation of the box is carried out by the traditional method. The only remark concerns the uniformity of the width of the mounting slots between the box and the draft opening: you should try so that the box does not rest against the opening anywhere, and the slot is foamed around the entire perimeter without gaps.

Door hinges are perhaps the most important element accessories. If the design can function without problems without a handle and a locking device, then without awnings (it doesn’t matter whether these are hinges for doors with a quarter, or hidden mechanisms) the door system cannot exist.

In general, the world door hinges rich and varied. But only by correctly choosing such a mechanism, one can be sure of quality work designs.

Door hinges must meet the following requirements:

• Ensure a smooth movement of the leaf (it does not matter whether such fittings are installed on Finnish door systems or not). And besides, such canopies should in no case creak.
• Be strong (they must hold the sash, regardless of its weight, while avoiding sagging and warping of the door in the opening).
• Harmonize with the design of the Finnish construction leaf or other door system where they are installed.

Properly selected and meeting these requirements, the hinge for the door will ensure the smooth functioning of the door system. It is worth paying attention to the fact that awnings vary greatly among themselves in terms of the principle of operation and the method of installation.

There are the following types of loops:

• direct card;
• corner cards;
• screw-in;
• hidden;
• Italian, etc.

The scope of each type is determined by its features.

If you are interested, then here https://alekseycherkasov.ru there are reviews and they talk about the mlm platform.

Card straight elements

Such loops outwardly resemble two cylinders. One of these cylinders has a rod. To increase the operating period of the door hinges, a bearing or washer is installed between the rubbing elements.

Fasten straight card sheds to the structure using rectangular plates, the so-called "wings". One plate is fixed on the box, and the second on the canvas.

As for the type of fastening, card direct canopies are of two types:

1. invoices;
2. mortise.

When installing mortise canopies, the hinges are recessed in the sash and on the box (for this, a milling cutter or chisel is used). The depth of such an insert should be 2-3 mm.

Installing overhead canopies on folding or swinging Finnish structures is somewhat easier than mounting mortise elements. Even a beginner can do this operation with his own hands. House master. Overhead hinges are screwed to the surface of the frame and sash with special self-tapping screws.

In addition, there are universal door hinges, right and left. Before choosing left or right canopies, you should check which way the door will open. A win-win option would be the purchase of universal fittings.

Card corner awnings

If the fittings will be installed on a door system with a vestibule, experts recommend making their choice in favor of corner canopies. The fact is that on the end side of a wooden sash of this design there is a special recess - a place for installing a hinge.

Corner card sheds practically do not differ in principle from elements with rectangular plates. They provide the sash with an opening angle of 90 degrees.

Screw fittings

Screw fittings, like corner hinges, are designed for installation on Finnish structures with a feigned quarter. However, instead of slats, there are two small pins that are screwed into the sash and the box.

Screw-in canopies (they are also called pin ones) have a significant advantage: if necessary, they can be adjusted with a hex key in three directions (horizontal, height and clamping area). Such fasteners close special decorative overlays or caps (they can be of different shades).

Which pin loops will be selected depends on the dimensions of the canvas and its weight. For lightweight folding and swing sashes ideal option there will be screw-in canopies with two or three pins or end hinges. But for heavy structures, it is better to use screw-in hinges with four pins: they are reliable, so they can withstand their weight.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that installing screw-in awnings is not so easy as it seems at first glance. This requires precision and precision. Therefore, if the home master has not installed screw mechanisms before, it is better not to take on this matter, but to entrust the installation of fittings to professional installers.

Hidden Items

These loops are for hinged doors, although sometimes they are also placed on folding systems. They are unique in that when closed, the canopy sashes are not visible. In other words, this internal elements designs.

In general, hidden loops have complex structure. They are equipped with three axes of rotation. The first axis is considered the main one, the other two are fixed elements. Thanks to this amazing structure, when opening or closing the sash, the hidden canopy either unfolds or folds.

Features of mounting hidden elements:

1. With the help of a chisel or a milling cutter, a small depression is made from the end of the sash and in the box beam.
2. Perform a selection for fasteners.
3. Remove the fixing screws and disassemble the hinges.
4. The hinged parts are installed in the recesses provided for them in folding or swinging Finnish structures and fixed with self-tapping screws.
5. Connect the individual parts of the loops and fix them with fixing screws.
6. They put decorative overlays on folding or swinging Finnish structures.

Properly installed hidden canopies and decorative overlays can become a real decoration of the structure. Often, decor is placed on swinging systems.

Italian awnings

This fitting was developed and patented by Barausse, a leader in the production of doors. The peculiarity of such mechanisms is that they are not attached to the side of the sash, in the bottom or top of the canvas.

Moreover, Italian canopies can be installed even during the operation of the structure. And due to the fact that the holes are almost invisible, they can be reinstalled if desired. And besides, you can choose any side of the opening of the sash.

furniture fittings

The following types of fittings are installed on the doors of furniture items:

1. Overhead.
   This type of loop is considered the most common. Overhead canopies are installed on a furniture set (bedroom, kitchen, etc.).
2. Semi overhead.
   They are used in cases where two sashes enter one side rack at the same time.
3. Internal.
   Outwardly, such a canopy resembles a semi-invoice. These mechanisms are installed in cases where the facade is placed inside the furniture case, and the hinged part of the canvas is in contact with the adjacent rack of the case.
4. Corner.
   Most often, such fittings are installed on corner pieces of furniture. However, if the opening angle of the sash should be 180 degrees, such canopies will not work.
5. Piano.
   This type of loop is considered obsolete. Piano elements of construction in our time can be found only in antique pieces of furniture. In addition, a lid is attached to the piano hinges, covering the keys of the piano (hence the name "piano" canopies).
6. Calcaneal.
   They can be installed on the bottom or upper corner doors. However, heel canopies are used extremely rarely, because they are not suitable for heavy facades.
7. Inverse.
   Such accessories provide opening of a shutter on 180 degrees. As you know, at an angle of 180 degrees, the cabinet door with the side rack form a straight line.
8. Self-closing.
   If self-closing canopies are installed on the locker, they will “softly” return the canvas to the closed position.

Naturally, the choice of fittings depends on the characteristics of the pieces of furniture. If the door is to open 180 degrees, the best option elements become inverted. Also, the choice of such canopies is determined by the material from which the cabinet is made.

Canopies for iron structures

The main requirement that loops must meet for steel doors, - endurance. Such fittings must be strong and strong, because it will have to hold a massive iron sash. And this is not 8-10 kilograms (as interior door systems), it is 80 kg, and sometimes 100 kg.

Moreover, such canopies should provide security. They must be equipped with a special anti-removable mechanism. In this case, there is a small protrusion on one wing of the fittings, and a hole for it on the second. When the input steel structure closes, the protrusion firmly enters the hole, so that the attacker does not have a chance to remove the iron sash from the canopies.

Single sided or double sided?

One-sided overhead canopies, installed, for example, on Finnish structures, are designed so that the canvas moves in only one single direction. Such overhead structural elements are left-handed or right-handed. The advantage of this type of hinge is that, if necessary, the sash can be quickly and easily removed from the hinges.

Double-sided fittings, installed on folding or swinging Finnish structures, have three cards connected to each other by large rods. Each such rod has a spring, which ensures a snug fit of the canopies to the sash. However, such mechanisms are rarely installed in apartments and country houses.

Hardware manufacturing material

Regardless of whether awnings will be used for folding or swing door systems or they will be installed on pieces of furniture, they all differ in terms of the material of manufacture.

Overhead (on bearings), piano, inverse (provide an opening angle of 180 degrees), self-closing and other canopies are made from the following alloys:

• copper;
• aluminum;
• gland;
• brass;
• zinc, etc.

For heavy folding Finnish structures, as well as in cases where the doors are swinging, it is recommended to install canopies made of steel and zinc alloys and covered with brass on top.

As you can see, the world of door hinges is diverse, which means that their choice is huge!
