Where are rebated doors with an adjustable lining installed?

Doors are a significant element of the fittings of every house, flat, office and other kinds of premises. Their task is to separate spaces, to limit losses of thermal energy and of course to give all members of the household and users of the property an appropriate level of privacy. On the market we will find a range of solutions in the category of doors and frames – including rebated doors and adjustable linings. Where are they used?

What are rebated doors?

Rebated doors, as the name suggests, are doors that have a rebate, that is a small recess on their side edges and top edge. Thanks to the rebate, once closed the door overlaps the frame to a certain extent. In this position the rebate conceals the lock and also seals the door. On the other hand, thanks to its presence the door does not go within the area of the frame but clearly projects beyond its surface. Rebated doors are a solution that has been used for decades and is permanently inscribed in architecture – their opposite is the more modern and increasingly popular flush-fitting doors.

What are adjustable linings?

An adjustable lining, like a fixed frame, is installed in the door opening in a wall, and its task is to hold the door. What distinguishes it is the possibility of fitting it precisely to the thickness of the wall – its elements can be extended within a certain small range. Linings can even be joined together, producing in this way an element suitable for installation in even very thick walls. Both rebated doors and adjustable linings can be found in the range of the Wiktorczyk company, which specialises in the manufacture of door and window joinery.

Use of rebated doors with an adjustable lining

Rebated doors on an adjustable lining are a solution that can find use in many premises – above all wherever the walls do not keep to the dimensions, that is they do not fit within the standard 6 – 10 cm of thickness. Adjustable linings can also be used to mask old door frames if removing them would involve additional difficulties. Rebated doors, because of their traditional good looks, are in turn used in all kinds of interiors – rooms, bathrooms or kitchens – that are kept in a classic aesthetic. They will look particularly good in relatively small interiors, where, because of their clear separation from the surface of the frame, they appear light and do not dominate the space around them.
