What should we pay attention to when buying an entrance door?

The primary function of doors is to protect the home and its residents and to secure against potential intruders. Statistical data confirms that we must adequately secure our homes against uninvited guests, as police statistics from recent years show an increase in break-ins to houses and apartments.

Choosing doors is not as simple as it seems. We want our doors to be safe and durable. To ensure that the product we choose meets our expectations, we should pay attention to its burglary resistance class.

  • RC 1 – provides basic protection against burglary. Resistant to small, simple tools and physical force, such as kicking, shouldering, lifting, and prying.
  • RC 2 – provides protection against burglary using simple tools such as a screwdriver, pliers, or a wedge.
  • RC 3 – provides protection against burglary using heavy tools, such as a crowbar.

A characteristic feature of doors with enhanced burglary resistance is reinforced locks and frames, a distinctive wing construction, and at least three very strong hinges. All these elements create an effective barrier against accidental intruders.

NEWAY doors in the GOLD standard have a burglary resistance class of RC2, while those in the PLATINUM standard have RC3.

Doors are a fundamental element in every home. They are the entry and exit points, protecting us from cold, rain, snow, and ensuring our safety. The market is seeing an increasing number of solutions based on modern technology.

Doors that open automatically

Modern doors are characterized by great convenience and comfort, as they feature automatic drives that allow the doors to be opened without using a key. This is a significant advantage when bringing groceries into the house and for many other daily activities.

Software gives us complete control over our home, as it records all entries and exits through the doors. The traditional key is replaced by a virtual one that we can manage through an app. Instead of searching for a key in our bags or pockets, we simply take out our phone, which we always have at hand.

The second issue is the durability of the doors. The doors to our home should be resistant not only to potential break-ins but also to weather conditions.

A very important aspect is insulation. We distinguish between two types of insulation:

  • Acoustic insulation, which is determined by the material from which the doors are made. The level of acoustic insulation ranges from 25 to 45 dB.
  • Thermal insulation – the thermal insulation parameters should not exceed 1 W/(m2*K).

The final consideration is aesthetics. We want the doors to be attractive and to look good. Currently, there is a vast selection of doors on the market, with various colors and a wide range of models.

What is the waiting time for such doors? It is a relatively long process because some components of the doors are custom-made to measure, but this, in turn, guarantees their best quality. Such doors will serve us for years.

The advantage of custom-made doors is the ability to tailor them to our needs or the requirements arising from the architect’s design. We can also choose the appropriate door fittings.
