How Not to Go Wrong When Choosing Doors?
What matters more: aesthetics or practicality? Why are Tesli doors considered
among the best on the domestic market? There are many questions from builders;
let us address them step by step.
Expert’s Perspective - Vitaliy Banny
Vitaliy Banny:
Tesli, the company where I work as a senior manager, is a unique enterprise.
Since 1997, and to this day, the company’s leadership has remained committed to
a full technological cycle: our specialists begin their work at the stage of
selecting the timber. From preparing the raw material to processing and
delivering the finished product, we consistently adhere to our core principles - quality,
reliability, and punctuality.
Doors crafted by our specialists perform reliably under
sharp temperature fluctuations and high humidity and are practically unrivalled
in Ukraine.
Why is Tesli the best choice for a bathhouse, sauna, or
hammam? Because we do not depend on subcontractors and can guarantee the
quality of the fully finished product as well as any individual component - from the board to the last
screw.
What to Consider When Choosing Doors
Start by defining your priorities:
- High energy efficiency
- Beauty and aesthetics
- Harmony with the design of the steam room and relaxation
area
- Wooden Doors for Saunas
High‑quality wooden sauna doors require more than select
lumber; the door leaf is built like a sandwich from different layers to
achieve:
- Reliable waterproofing
- Vapor protection
- Enhanced thermal insulation
Tesli’s range includes models that have been popular for
decades, such as the “MAX” series of combination doors. Their main advantage is
a 14 mm insulated glass
unit in the upper part of the leaf. This clear insert allows you to monitor the
steam room without leaving the antechamber.
Every Detail Matters
A door is more than just a leaf - it includes the frame, heat‑resistant
sealing contour, hardware, and other components. Pay attention to these
details: even a minor production flaw becomes evident. Some issues will appear
immediately, others over time. We provide a one‑year warranty on every finished
product and its components. Our company manufactures frames from linden or
thermally treated linden using our own Tesli technology - so we guarantee they are durable.
During processing, frame elements are industrially bonded to
prevent:
- Cracking
- Warping
- Deformation
- Changes in geometric dimensions
Our innovative technology has been successfully tested in:
Traditional bathhouses
Saunas
Hammams
In assembly and use, we rely on:
- German hardware
- Latches and corrosion‑resistant glass holders
- Hinges that do not corrode
Tesli doors feature only branded wooden handles - comfortable, ergonomic, and
safe.
New Materials for Bath Complexes
The frames assembled by our specialists suit both wooden and
glass doors. Tesli’s product line includes various designs of glass doors with
patterns. Glass is a versatile natural material; tempered transparent
constructions have become popular in homes and offices alike. We use tempered
glass 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm thick to create original, fashionable door
panels. This is especially popular for hammams.
Advantages of transparent doors:
- Functional
- Practical
- Simple beauty
- Contemporary style
- Visually enlarges the space
- Easily combines with various materials and interiors
Tempered Miracle Glass
Tempered glass is a safe, impact‑resistant material with low
thermal loss, ideal for modern bath doors. Its production (repeated heating and
rapid cooling) creates stress areas that increase mechanical strength 5-6 times. A 6 mm or 8 mm tempered glass door leaf:
Resists blows that would shatter regular glass of the same
thickness
Endures sudden temperature changes
Retains heat well
If broken, shatters into small pieces with rounded edges,
avoiding injury
Quality standards require a 100 × 100 cm sheet to break into at least 160 fragments when
struck with a 75‑gram sharp hammer.
Glass is hygienic and hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and
aesthetically versatile—transparent or matte, with prints or patterns, colored
or monochrome. Glass doors are a worthy alternative to wooden ones.
What Else to Look For
Aesthetics, beauty, and natural feel - every interior detail should contribute
to a restful atmosphere. Bath doors lead to a world of tranquility and
relaxation. Tesli products are unified in style and meet all stated parameters.
Our warm, energy‑efficient doors that rolled off the line 20 years ago are still serving
customers faithfully. Any element of the door can be updated - we still use high‑quality fittings and
produce stylish Tesli handles just like decades ago. New models do not replace
earlier ones; they simply diversify our product line.
Craftsman’s Advice
When designing a sauna, you can choose any size or even
shape of door; we handle custom orders. However, selecting one of several
popular sizes can significantly reduce costs. Currently, we produce doors in:
- 1800 × 700 mm
- 1900 × 700 mm
- 2000 × 700 mm
- 2000 × 800 mm
A major advantage of Tesli doors is their versatility. They
can be installed to open left or right. If you decide to change the direction
later, it’s easy - even a
beginner can do it.
Choose Thermally Treated Linden
As mentioned, Tesli frames are made from kiln‑dried linden
or thermally treated linden (thermo‑wood). Thermo‑wood is an innovative product
combining natural beauty with protective qualities akin to modern polymers. For
longer service life, better moisture repellence, and a pleasing cream‑coniac
shade, the blanks are impregnated with a special oil.
For over 20 years
we have produced high‑end carpentry and accessories for baths, saunas, and
hammams. You can view our full range on our website and on
