Which door is better to put in the bathroom?

Recently, more and more often there are disputes between interior designers about what doors are more suitable for a toilet and bathroom. Some believe that this can be ordinary, such as in the whole apartment. Others say that special water-resistant doors to the bathroom are required here, with increased resistance to temperature changes, that this element of a natural wood structure will very quickly fail under the action of moist air.

How strong and destructive will be the impact of water and hot air on this closed reception, depends on the size of the bathroom, on its layout. Some rooms are equipped with stationary showers, not separated from the main room. In this case, water will always be on the door. If the bath is located too close to the entrance, this structural element will also be wet after the owner has taken the bath. If wetting is inevitable, then it is necessary to select a moisture resistant door. If the bathroom is very small, moreover, combined with the toilet, if it is used by several people and besides it is not very well ventilated, then undoubtedly the door needs a moisture resistant one.

When the bathroom is spacious, equipped with good ventilation, and a bath or shower Securely closed by a partition, it does not make sense to select some special door. You can install a one that fits well into the interior and, most importantly - like the owners.

In addition to glass, moisture-resistant doors in the bathroom are made of plastic. True, this option in residential premises is considered extremely rare. It is believed that they are associated with the doors to a bathroom in some institution. But it's not necessary to put standard white plastic ones. Now it is possible to pick up the door to the bathroom glazed and painted in a suitable color for the interior. Such a door will always look modern and stylish. But even in this case it is necessary to focus on closely located openings. If all of them are made of wood, then the plastic door to the bathroom next to them will look somewhat strange.

Quite often, a laminated door is installed in the bathroom, which is also resistant to moisture, as they are covered with a laminate - an artificial material that mimics the color and texture of the wood. In addition, these doors can be very successfully combined with the rest in the apartment. For example, in rooms you can install veneered, and in the bathroom - laminated.
