What is the second front door for?? What functions does it perform? Maybe installing it is just a waste of money?
It goes without saying that interior doors /catalog/location/mezhkomnatnye are also needed and important, but today we will talk about the second entrance door.
Let’s try to find answers to the above questions.
The main, and sometimes decisive, argument against installing a second door is finance. Of course, you will have to spend money, but you can do it at any time, limiting yourself for the first time only to the main metal door.
And what do we get by installing a second door? First of all – improved heat and sound insulation. Although, on the other hand, the landings are not so noisy, and the modern metal door alone perfectly retains heat and prevents drafts.
At first glance, it may seem that the presence of a second door will reliably protect the apartment from burglary. At the same time, a good armored door with complex locks will cope with this task on its own. Installing a large number of locks on the second door is hardly advisable, because the daily fuss with the keys will complicate life, first of all, for ourselves.
However, there are other, albeit less obvious, tasks that the second front door can solve. For example, in a private house, by installing an internal glass door, we will get an additional window, and the house itself will seem more refined and light. At night, for security reasons, we also use an external metal door.
Taking care of the aesthetic component of the hallway, you can install a beautiful wooden inner door, and a reliable armored outer door.
If the vestibule between the doors is large enough, then you can lay a rug for wiping shoes.
For a more rational use of the hallway space, you can attach coat hooks or hang a beautiful mirror on the inner door.
