European Door Supplier Offers German Technology-backed Interior Doors to North American Market

BC, Canada-7 September 2014. Modern Interior Door or simply MID edges competition by becoming the exclusive distributor of LEBO Doors & Frames [from Germany] and Puertas San Rafael [from Spain]. Interior door products coming directly from Europe. They deliver throughout entire Canada and the rest of North America. European doors are fairly new to the market and MID's partnership with known European door manufacturers is a first in the region. These doors are backed by German technology and numerous advantages such as the European type of foam installation.

European Custom Doors and Technology

MID is proud to introduce German and Spanish interior doors to the North American market, which is in need of more exposure to high-end products with better features than most doors sold in local markets today.

“These custom engineered doors are imported from Europe with craftsmanship and materials that can add that European flair to your home. Its features are overwhelming. These doors are highly customizable so you can choose whether to have your door made out of glass or wood, with optional stainless steel trims and of course backed by the precision of world-renowned German technology,” as spoken by Jony Hubert, President of Modern Interior Doors, while explaining the main product benefits.

Other features the company's proud about their doors is the European style installation. Most local homeowners here in Canada and the US are accustomed to using screws and nails to properly install a door, but not with a LEBO door.

These modern-designed interior doors can be easily installed without nail holes via low-expansion foam technology. It is fast and produces the cleanest look possible [ideal to increase resale value of the home].

All doors have a perimeter gasket system, multiple hinge options, rebated door panels, thermo-door technology, lowerable floor seal capability and aluminum inlays in a wide variety.

“The North American market has also been used to buying doors, contacting someone to install it and buying other extra accessories such as hardware. With MID, all these will be taken care of for the customer.  Less hassle for you plus doors come trimmed and finished [stain or paint] and these features are always included in all door purchases,” adds Hubert when talking about extended advantages of their doors and combined services.

All hardware selections [e.g. handles] are also European-made to complement the door manufacturers.

San Rafael doors on the other hand offer another modern but simplistic design innovation with hidden or concealed hinges options on all designs. It also features doors with bullet proof materials and magnetic door strikes.

For interested homeowners, renovation companies, architects, builders or designers, Modern Interior Door's Richmond showroom is open daily [by appointment] for visitors who want to have a look and feel first hand.

Modern Interior Door delivers North American wide through experienced international carriers such as Kühne & Nagel. They offer local site measures, installation, and on-site quotations.

About Modern Interior Door

As a European door supplier, Spanish elegance and German engineering sets MID apart from their North American competitors offering interior doors and installation. They aim at becoming the door supplier that does not have to say NO to whatever wood or glass door design the client wants for their home.

Introduction to Doors

8/31/2014

 
What is a door? How is it made? What is it made of? What are its uses? We want to touch a little bit on all the points above in this article.

A door is used to connect to areas which may be two rooms or the exterior and interior of a house. It provides the pathway to travel between these two areas. A door, in its most basic form, is made up of some sort of panel of a certain material that can be swung or slid open. This panel may be hinged on a door frame or just the supporting wall.

This article will deal with the more common doors in use today.

1)      Door Components


a)      The Panel (Leaf)

The door panel or leaf is the part of the door that moves. It usually is as big as the opening and sometimes can be seen split into two parts (as sometimes seen in barns with a horse looking out). The panel might swing left or right or slide sideways (or even upwards). It can be made up of many different materials such as wood, steel, iron, aluminum, PVC, glass, etc.

b)      The Frame

The frame surrounds the panel and holds it in place. It is comprised of 2 jambs (sides), a header (top) and a sill (bottom). On interior doors there is no sill needed. Door frames are usually not pronounced and can blend with the wall they are mounted into. Materials used for frames are as numerous as for panels.

c)       The Trim (Liner)

The trim is the decorative part of a door that is used to visually join the frame and wall interface together. They are mostly applied to the wall with a slight overlap onto the frame making it appear that the frame is wider than it really is. Again, trim materials can vary but usually are made of wood.

d)      The Hinge or Rolling/Sliding Track

A swinging door requires hinges at the panel-frame interface. A sliding door requires some sort of top or bottom (or both) track that the panel slides along to either the left or right. Swinging Door hinges are usually made out of metal for strength reasons (just like sliding tracks) and at least 2 are required for a one-panel door.

e)      The Handle and Lock

Doors no not necessarily need a handle or lock but we do at least see a handle on most. It is just easier to have a good grip when moving the panel. Handles are usually made out of metal or possibly wood. Door locks can come in a variety of forms such as thumb turn, latch-type, hook or keyed locks. Most locks are made of metal for strength and durability.

2. Door Uses

Doors are most likely one of the oldest inventions in the world. Closing off a gateway must always have its uses. Without touching on mobile doors (such as cars) the two main uses today are “Exterior” and “Interior” Doors.

a)      Exterior Doors

This type of door provides the entry and exit to a house. It has a sill and weather strips to be able to seal the elements out more effectively. It is also the main attraction on the front of the house as the main point of entry. Exterior doors provide a better insulating value than interior doors and aim at minimizing heat transfers from exterior to interior on cold days.

Exterior doors can be made up of more than one panel as seen in Double Doors or Folding/Accordion Doors in order to produce a greater opening. In general, exterior doors are bigger and heavier than their interior counterparts. The use of glass in exterior doors is very common.

b)      Interior Doors

This type of door is the passage way between rooms. It is commonly smaller and lighter than the exterior door but purpose and materials are similar. They have no sill, since airflow beneath the door is usually welcomed inside a home.

3. Door Styles

Doors can be either traditional or modern and very seldom a mix of the two. Modernity dictates the absence of ornate wood carvings, for example. It tends to simplicity and straightness.

Traditional doors try to mimic the more detailed craftsmanship of days gone by.

Doors can be made with a single panel or many panels to provide a varying degree of open space and light.

Interior doors do not always have to be between rooms but can divide a bed room from a closet space. This is usually done via sliding doors to save space.

We see larger doors in barns and garages and in these instances the doors slide or move upwards parallel to inside ceiling. Design is sacrificed for functionality in most barn and garage scenarios.

It has to be said that doors are so common that not much thought is spend on them unless you are in the process of buying them perhaps. But every now and then you see one that impresses you. So the oldest inventions are still the most useful after all.
