Hello dear forum,
I need your help once again: We have to choose interior doors. They should be plain white doors. Now I have learned that there are CPL and white lacquer finishes. I would have thought that lacquer is more expensive, but in the store where we went, it was the other way around. We were offered Prüm doors.
The salesperson said that CPL doors are more durable. However, the frame is only available with a fully rounded edge, while the white lacquer doors have a slightly rounded square edge (called a KR edge), which we like better. But I don’t want to regret later that the doors are sensitive (What does that actually mean? Do they get dirty faster or do they break more easily?)
Can we choose the white lacquer doors without worry, or should we better look for another supplier that offers CPL doors with a smaller rounded edge?

hausnrplus2528 Jul 2020 13:45Are there any advantages or disadvantages in installation, cost, or other aspects between having a door gap at the bottom versus ventilation grilles at the top of the frame?
Frame ventilation is a special feature and therefore an additional cost.
There is always a gap under the door anyway, since you don’t want the door to scrape against the flooring or tiles.
The door manufacturer will always leave a gap.
Door width multiplied by gap height actually results in a ventilation cross-section.

hausnrplus2528 Jul 2020 17:32Oh, if the standard door gap at the bottom is sufficient, that’s great. I thought those would also have to be custom-made...
The door frame has enough clearance in the wall opening; the gap can be adjusted according to your preference or ventilation requirements.
The door installer is also happy to come after the painter and tiler have finished, so everything fits perfectly and no one causes any damage afterward.
