This has already happened with the market windows, where metal-plastic products (plastic windows, pvc doors) replaced the traditional ‘woodwork’. Expects a similar fate and the national standards for the doors? At this point there are two opposing views. Some specialists believe that national standards for suppliers of products in the near future not only retain but also will strengthen its position. Others believe that this market segment will soon disappear. Both are in their own right.

In the ‘threshold’ Market The current market offers a wide range of input and internal doors of the various design, quality and price. As for the mass segment (wholesale) sales, then here are some basic Traditionally positions certain standard. For example, exterior and revolving doors with glass or dull (NAM) for outdoor units: in the elevator, stair units, lobbies and other areas. They are popular because are in public places and rarely change. Particularly noteworthy are the access door. In accordance with new safety requirements they must be metal, heavy, equipped with an intercom (or at least combination lock) and an automatic door closer. The second type of product GOST – reinforced door (control), or as they call it in the home, the front door of the apartment. Most construction companies rents the house, complete with the most simple of hardboard doors, but there are sites where the original set of metal reinforced construction.

It is practiced in a luxury complex, as well as at sites where the interior trim is available on request buyer. Sergey Smirnov, Head of Marketing Group of Companies ‘PPW’: – Our company has been supplying a complete set of buildings and doors GOST. The market is not very big, but still indispensable. Many Builders immediately set the input metal doors, and apartments for sale – interior veneer model. Despite this, sales of standard products are not only preserved, but also grow due to increased volume of housing under construction. For some items we do not see alternatives to state standards.
