Since the doors of “Volkhovets” are very popular, there are analogues of these products on the market that are very similar in appearance, have almost the same cost, but are significantly inferior to the original in quality.

Some replica manufacturers honestly report that they offer a brand-name equivalent. For example, this is what the Garant factory does, pointing out on its website that it produces an analogue of the famous doors. Reporting that he copies the famous Volkhovets collections, this manufacturer indicates that it has more flexible prices. In this case, it is silent about the quality of products and availability of warranty obligations.

However, not all falsifiers are so frank. Very often, when purchasing analogues of Volkhovets' doors, the buyer does not inform about it, and, having received a product of low quality, people make claims to a well-known brand.

In order not to be mistaken when choosing an original product from the company "Volkhovets", you need to purchase them exclusively in company stores, which are quite a lot and whose addresses can be found on the manufacturer's website.

In most stores you can see the exhibition sample of the goods to ensure its quality. Real doors "Volkhovets" have no defects on the canvas, the color lies exactly, the direction of the wood fibers coincides with the tint. All parts are carefully processed, including the bottom edge, which allows you to be sure that the door will not fail during operation.

Since all the glasses are made directly in the factory of the brand, they do not have vagueness and are distinguished by careful study of the smallest nuances of the ornament. If you buy a door leaf from the Decanto collection, you need to make sure that there is a company engraving on its edge.

It is also worth knowing that all the products of this factory should be packaged in branded paper with the Volkhovets logo, with a coupon with the batch number, date of production and stamp of the Quality Department. On the top bar of the door leaf, all this data should also be indicated. In addition, in order to see the color of the door leaf, there are cutouts at the corners of the package.

Since the Volkhovets factory has been operating in the domestic door market for over 20 years, there are quite a few reviews about the products of this company. Mostly positive reviews, although there are dissatisfied buyers.

The general impression of buyers can be described by one expression: “these are doors for centuries”. So characterize users of doors from solid oak and beech, belonging to the luxury category. It is noted that the materials used in their manufacture are of the highest quality, and the price is noticeably lower than imported, for example, Italian door panels of the same level.

The design and style decision of such doors is called European, they approve of a large number of light shades. Many people write that they could choose white doors only in the Volkhovets salon.

Doors of the middle price segment, which are covered with veneer of valuable species, also have a lot of positive feedback. According to customers, such doors can be installed even in bathrooms, but it is important to monitor the level of humidity in the room and wipe the door leaf if drops are deposited on it. Most reviews saythat in the domestic market there is no equal in the domestic market for the beauty and variety of color shades of the Volkhovets doors, but they complain that the price for veneered doors could be lower.

Doors with a coating of plastic films Ciplex and laminate, judging by the reviews, can be covered with whitewash stains when used in wet areas, so it is better not to put such doors in bathrooms.

There is a very noticeable comment on the discrepancy between the shades of veneer on three door linens ordered at the same time, the author of which tried to return the unsatisfactory door, but could not do it because of the store. On the whole, quite a lot of complaints are expressed on the work of the Volkhovets door sales offices, ranging from the lengthy delivery time and ending with the fact that talking to dealers on the phone doesn’t bring almost any results.

The work of the installers from the company is satisfied by all, without exception, as well as the fact that the door panels are supplied with holes for fixing handles and locks, which speeds up the installation process.

A feature of the door systems of the brand is the fact that they can harmoniously combine with almost any of the stylistic directions of the modern interior.

For example, a door from the Toscana Plano collection, made of solid beech wood and having a noble shade of “pearl beech”, will look great in a classic interior with high ceilings and huge windows, chic mirrors in heavy white frames and light soft furniture. The presence of a fireplace will help to make a note of unpredictability, and natural shades of parquet, ash-gray walls and openwork curtains will help to give a classic interior completeness.

For veneered doors, the Galant collection has been developed, the door leafs of which can be in color from “black ash” to “frosted pearls”. Classic strict lines without frills complement the interior in the style of Provence, Art Deco, Gothic.

In the same room, both normal swing systems and double sliding doors-cases can be perfectly combined, since they are made in a single color and with inserts of identical glass.

Dazzling white color of the door enamel will refresh the walls of any shade, but it will look especially delightful in the same snow-white design. Natural wood flooring and leather upholstered furniture underline the status of the owner of the room.The overall impression of thoroughness and wealth will create a blazing fireplace and a luxurious crystal chandelier.
