Interior doors which company is better to choose
There is a widespread opinion that the higher the cost of production, the higher its quality, but this is a delusion, which is often not true.
The price is not a fundamental factor when choosing interior doors, so what to look for, given the huge variety of manufacturers?
So, what kind of interior door to choose:
1. If you focus on quality, durability and reliability, then the door of Sofia is exactly what you need. Such quality characteristics are unlikely to boast other manufacturers, and the big-name brand adds status to the premise.
2. The lack of Sofia doors is their relatively high cost, so if there are budgetary restrictions, it is better to opt for the products of Volkhovets or Onyx factories. Unfortunately, they cannot compete in quality with the doors from the Sofia factory, but they are much cheaper.
3. For those who first of all value safety and are committed to pure ecology, the doors from the Alvero factory are ideal, they use only natural, natural materials, but this is what affects the final cost of production.
The doors of the company Dariano remain, and, despite the not so numerous reviews, as among the more popular brands, these are the doors that are closest to combining “price-quality”.Dariano's doors are high quality, at an attractive price, which was achieved not due to savings on materials or their quality, but due to a competent optimization of the entire production process.
