The right door? Things to know when buying a door


Doors provide protection, create privacy and reflect your personal design style. Every door is different and offers individual advantages for different requirements. There is a large selection of different surfaces, designs, inner layers and functions. With so much to choose from, it is usually difficult to make a decision. We want to simplify the agony of choice and provide you with specific criteria for your door purchase.


1. does your door need special functions?

 


Every room has a specific purpose. The doors should also match this purpose. Do you play an instrument, for example, but don't want to disturb the other occupants? Are you fitting out a public building and need tested fire protection doors? Do you want to ensure a pleasant living environment in your premises? Or would you like a door with other extras? Check which functions you need and narrow down your choice of doors.

 

 


PRÜM doors can also be smart. The SmartDOORs with integrated technology from KIWI work without a traditional key. The smartphone or transponder can be used to open and close flat entrance doors as well as cellar, laundry room and garage access doors.Herefind out more about the smart doors.


CPL surfaces

2. which surface may it be?

 


The door surface is not just about the look. PRÜM offers different surfaces for different requirements.

White lacquered doors (Exclusive white lacquer 9010/ 9016) are a real classic, and their timeless design makes them suitable for almost any room concept.

CPL doors are true all-rounders that can withstand even the toughest demands: CPL surfaces are scratch, impact and abrasion resistant as well as easy to clean and resistant to standard household cleaning agents.

Laminate doors are durable and can withstand the toughest demands. They are primarily used in buildings where interior doors are subject to heavy use, such as in hospitals, public buildings or nurseries.

Translucent glass doors make rooms appear larger and friendlier: whether with straight lines, ornamental shapes or natural wood grains - there is something to suit every taste. At your specialist retailer near youyou can easily view all door types and a wide range of surfaces live.


3. are you looking for an exclusive door design?

Would you like to create a visual highlight? Do you want the rooms to be spacious, interconnected or discreetly flooded with light?

Double doors look particularly impressive due to their size and symmetrical opening. Double sliding doors also have the effect of enlarging the room and are space-saving at the same time. If the doors run into the wall, they are barely visible when open, giving the rest of the interior design space.

Another highlight are floor-to-ceiling doors or doors with a practical windbreak element above the door. They are particularly suitable for high rooms, as floor-to-ceiling doors integrate proportionally better than standard doors. In addition, floor-to-ceiling glass elements allow more light into the room.
