The difference in strength, in the production of a type-setting construction, parts of wood are held together in a special way, which ensures resistance to temperature and humidity variations. For the manufacture of the frame used solid wood and low cost.

Kinds

There are several types of filling panel interior doors:

• With a solid filling (reinforced). This view is a filling of strips of chipboard or wood bars, which are tightly laid out. The design is heavy, but it has high strength and good sound insulation.
• With honeycomb filling. The filling material of the frame-honeycomb type is often chosen corrugated cardboard, which looks like a honeycomb, the name derives from this. The design does not have high strength, but perfectly absorbs noise.
• Hollow interior doors are the most fragile. The design has no filler and does not protect against noise.

The door leaf inside the opening drives the rotary mechanism of the roto. It provides easy and silent opening of a door both on itself, and from itself.

In the photo there is a tilting-sliding door mechanism, a system with compact book functionality and a roto-door.
