Choosing Bathroom Door
Bath Showers October 28th, 2010
Bathroom design is no less enjoyable. Lots of options for the design. Which is the best, that determines your own.
We all know that the bathroom is divided into two categories: dry and wet. Well, from the categorization that will be easily determined such as what your bathroom design, especially the door who want to use.
The pattern of wet bath in the bathroom brings its own problems, especially in the treatment of doors and frames bathrooms made of wood. Due to frequent splashing water everywhere, the bathroom door so go get a splash of water every day. Spray of water constantly will surely door, causing decay, and finally broken.
It is true that the layer of paint, duco, melamine, or polish can protect the bathroom door panels from a splash of water. However, it was only temporary. Slowly but surely, the door panel and frame pair will decay, and then destroyed.
Damage usually begins from the bottom as a place that most often experience wetness (where water droplets). If it is so, there is no other way except to replace the door panels and frames with new ones. Wood panel doors can be said is not an ideal material for door of the bathroom / toilet wet.
“So should avoid the use of wood panels. Or if you’re already using a wooden model, give the layer that has proved resistant coating and anti against infiltration of water,” advises architects Bambang Sudiatmojo.
Do not be confused because there are several kinds of material or basic material in the manufacture of door panels are waterproof (water resistant). One of them is aluminum. Besides resistance to water, is also an aluminum material antikorosi (rust). Aluminum can be made into the door panel and frame assembly with a practical system.
Although aluminum door panels can be designed with various models, but unfortunately the impression that this material appears stiff and boring. Aluminum materials are also often not aligned with the theme of houses in many tropical regions using wood.
“Another case of your home if the concept of minimalism. Elemental aluminum is still unacceptable. In fact, gray aluminum very well with a minimalist concept of basic color classification, so no harm,” said Bambang.
Another opinion Zulkarnaen Darnin Ir. “It is true that aluminum fits with a minimalist design. But, if viewed from the aspect of interior design, very unpleasant. Even so, do not be confused because it all depends on you that harmonize. Therefore, use dong architect services,” Zulkarnaen banter, followed by laughter.
In addition to design a less attractive, another aluminum door weakness is kekokohannya the volatile due to the loose binding or slack. The noise is sometimes generated when bukatutup also very disturbing if the precision door changed.
Vinyl panel door frame is designed with a hollow-cavity. This door is quite strong and extremely water resistant. As for giving a more artistic and varied, the two surfaces (cover) leaves the door can be added to the foil layer that is attached by gluing techniques.
“Let me more attractive, should be given an ornamental. What are the important match, because the doors tend to be monotonous vinyl model,” said Bambang. Many display option leaves the door that match your taste and color desired. For example wood grain pattern, plain, or other texture patterns, whether a similar shiny surface and a touch of melamine matte finish.
In addition, although this type of door frame hollow system, still can be embedded special keys that are round and the toilet door hinge (which is also made of vinyl material) after the first aid given the wooden inserts in their sockets.
Prices are relatively cheap vinyl door because it no longer requires finishing such as wood panels on the door still remains to be dimelamin or in-duco, which cost is certainly not small. Maintenance is also very easy because the live wiping.
“But, that does not mean vinyl doors have no shortage of lho. For example if used on bathroom access is directly exposed to sunlight, vinyl does not hold a full and light can fade the color of the material. But this happened in a fairly long time. However, nonetheless should be considered, “explained Bambang.
In addition, the heat of the sun will change the form of vinyl in a long time. The form will be twisted. Layers cover the door panel that only rekatan on both surfaces could also damaged by water splashes.
“So, each has advantages and disadvantages. What is important to adjust your habits in using the bathroom. For example, in terms of location, distance of the door with a shower or bath, and so forth,” said Zulkarnaen, who is familiarly called Zul
