Sisäovina

Sisäovina is a Finnish term that translates to "interior door" in English. It refers to any door installed within a building that separates different rooms or spaces, as opposed to exterior doors which are part of the building's envelope. Interior doors serve a variety of functions, including providing privacy, blocking sound, containing heat or cool air, and contributing to the overall aesthetic of a room's design.

The materials used for sisäovet vary widely. Common choices include solid wood, engineered wood products like MDF (medium-density fiberboard), particleboard, and sometimes even glass or metal. The construction can range from solid core, offering better insulation and soundproofing, to hollow core, which is lighter and more economical. Finishes also differ greatly, from painted or stained wood to laminate, veneer, or even specialized decorative surfaces.

Functionally, interior doors can be hinged, sliding, folding, or pocket doors, depending on the available space and desired effect. Hinged doors are the most traditional and common type. Sliding doors save space by moving along a track. Folding doors, often used in closets or for dividing larger spaces, fold in sections. Pocket doors disappear into a wall cavity, maximizing usable floor space. The choice of sisäovina impacts both the practicality and the visual appeal of an interior space.
