Plat at the door with his own hands

Complete repairs in the apartment door replacement is completed, which can not be established without the casings, which are hidden all the features of the installation.When replacing the door panel does not necessarily change the whole door frame, but can not do without the replacement of old with new trims.They must comply with the new door style, color and texture.The aesthetic appearance of the door is guaranteed, tangible savings and even set yourself some trim on the door - quite a simple task.

Purpose door casings

Doors pick accordingly the overall style of the interior.They can be bought in the form of leaf and complement the respective frames.Buying fully equipped doorframe cost much more.You can stop the choice on the classics and buy in a single style entrance and interior doors.The classic use different forms of casings.

overall construction design door frame may include:

• framing leaf cornice;
• vertical pilasters, projections imitating column;
• capital, resembles a decorative shelf above the upper frames.

However, in most cases, limited to a simple door with frames, giving preference to the door leaf or the array of natural ekoshpona.It successfully imitates noble wood texture, and interior doors fit all shades - from bleached oak to a palette of chocolate wenge.The role of the decor perform insertion of glass or severe overhead elements.However, there can not do without the casings, which are hidden under the joint walls and door frame.The front door involves a heavy and solid wood leaf.

plat - a laths for registration window or doorway, made from profiled bars.In the production of casings used deciduous or coniferous, but also widely used wood veneering elite varieties.All of these options are not only used for the manufacture of doors, but also for interior trim on the door or entrance.Door trims - the easiest way to disguise the gap between the door frame and the wall of the doorway.Competent selection of profiled bars do not only in accordance with the texture and color, but also taking into account the minimum and maximum width.

Modern door frames are made of different materials;

• simulating any timber ekoshpona;
• array of natural (wood);
• laminated plastic, repeating texture of wood;
• MDF with veneer finish.

Installation casings on the front door and interior doors made at the final stage.It is also important to consider that after this work is difficult to do in the room neat painting or papering the walls.Finishing works are carried out before the installation of the door, in extreme cases, can also be used masking tape.But fixing skirting boards perform better after making trim on the door.

Tip: Please note that for casings is not so important wood texture as color matching.Often the interior or the door is made of the same material, and trim a little different.And if they were purchased separately, it is difficult to achieve complete similarity.Color - this is something to pay attention to that in the first place, and shades of casings and the door leaf must be as close as possible.But sometimes the idea of ​​design is that the framing of the doors and baseboards must be the same color.This technique used when it is impossible to achieve the similarity, then apply the contrast principle, which should organically fit into the overall design concept.

Species casings

casings made independently of solid timber, and has decorative blanks who purchase off the shelf and cut the door casing on the size of the desired length for your doorway.

Door frames come in several forms, such as telescoping and simple overhead.Telescopic wrap around projections on the plane casing coming into the slots on the box - photo frames on the doors.

1. The shape of the frames are available in basic versions:

• simple invoices processed flat board, a classic choice for any style;
• rounded on the frontal part, look a bit unusual and elegant;
• curly cut cutter with recessed grooves of different shapes, extremely elegant and attractive.

2. The difference of the material from which made door trim:

• from different kinds of wood, most often - shaped cutters, sometimes used even hand-carved wood;
• plastic frames (PVC or polyurethane) laminated under the wood, reminiscent of material for plastic windows;
• profiled or straight metal (steel, aluminum);
• composites of several components (laminated plywood, MDF).

3. There is also a variety of installation casings:

• simple invoices that are fixed to the door frame;
• telescopic, have a projection, a so-called nose or wing, allowing to insert into the frame of the slot, they are used on some deviations from the vertical door frame walls, hiding all defects.

Tip: When cutting is imprecise angle at the junction of the side and the top casing, then at this point the gap is inevitable.It is necessary to carefully disguise the sealant or acrylic adhesive with the addition of a suitable pigment.If there is a gap between the wall and trim, plaster can fill the void using the mounting tape, so as not to stain the surface.

Materials and devices for securing the casings

function on the door casings - to conceal or disguise the defects of the door opening and forming a gap between the door frame and the wall opening.Carefully trim attached to the interior or the front door give it a finished look.It is important to maximize hide all the joints in the corners, to avoid gaps formed with clear signs of wood glue.Attach strap casing a variety of ways:

1. Ready-made frames from wood is easiest to mount adhesive, for example, liquid nails or other suitable type of construction.This method is used when the walls are perfectly aligned, and decorative trims with grooves, and the use of nails undesirable.It is also extremely hard materials easier to glue than profit.

2. Polyurethane foam is rarely used because it bursting inside the wood and plastic.However, for the installation of a metal profile as possible trims its application, but at the minimum level, taking into account all the precautions with this building material.

3. When the stick trim is not real, then using nails.It is quite effectively - mount strap casings special thin nails, preferably without hats.The tops of long nails can also be cut off and alone.If you use nails with small caps, the tops of their slightly recessed.For maximum effect, they disguise corrective pencil wax-based or acrylic sealant, exactly matching in shade of wood or other material.

4. Effectively mount casings and gun shooting stud construction, but we must have the skill to get the most accurate.This is appropriate where the adhesive composition can not be used, and other methods, for example, if the temporary support, and for the casings will subsequently be laid cable internet.

5. If the frames are made of non-standard solid materials, metal or MDF, it is possible to mount special methods.For example, sometimes you want to pre-drill holes for nails or screws to be used for ease of installation.

6. There is a fallback when the trim is mounted on a special attachment, "beaks" - they are sold in specialized shops, accompanied by the installation instructions.

Tip: frames made of MDF and plastic can simply paste.Casings, plastic, glue prefer.Flexible plastic offers the advantage - they are suitable for the wall with small defects and irregularities, such as sags in the old house.

mounting Features telescopic casings

In some cases, the doors are available in a ready box with all the kit installation.Detailed instructions eliminates errors and omissions, it is only important to understand the names - what transoms, box and telescopic casing.It is a well-designed, patented technology, in which does not need any special hardware.

sometimes require additional transoms, but that if the width of the wall longer than expected.Otherwise small deviations in the vertical and the size of the box, which does not coincide with the width of the door opening in the fitting is easy to perform framing.

about all the features of the installation of the door frame with telescopic architraves clear from the manufacturer's instructions.Telescopic trim on the door with his hands set strictly according to the technological scheme.A characteristic feature of this design - rounded shape and frame projection-slot, which must be installed into the prepared groove.This mount can be additionally secured with liquid nails.

Production of door casings own

to work with wood use the appropriate tool:

• sawmill for cutting wood;
• woodworking machine for the preparation of blanks casings;
• jointing machine for grooved board the plane;
• marking gauge for forcing billets of the same size;
• electric hand tools;
• -grinding machine;
• Bulgarian.

immediately begin production of casing with a tool is only available if you have experience.Therefore, it makes no sense to talk about the features of the work, we are talking about a phased technology.

Tip: Selecting the optimal board - crucial stage, since the workpiece under the casings need quality dry boards, free of knots and defects.It is important to compare in the side jamb direction of the wood grain, as the appearance after a stain, paint or varnish autopsy will be different.A matter of taste - choose wood without a pattern or textured.

Cutting blanks for casings and the processing is performed slightly larger, for subsequent fitting to avoid measurement.Make sure that the tool was well sharpened, and cut exactly in a measured angles, otherwise the cut will be sloppy, it is necessary to mask the defects.

After pre-registration is required casings quality grinding, which is done in 2 stages:

• rough handling power tools;
• hand, using a fine-grained skin, erasing the edge fibers, circular scratches and small chips.

slice at an angle of 45 ° is done after accurate measurements directly prior to installation, not in a carpentry workshop.Note that you'll need a pair of workpieces 2 - on both sides of the door frame.

preparation of the installation of the side casings

To install the door trims will need:

• jigsaw or a saw (serrations);
• tape measure, pencil and corner;
• ploskozubtsy;
• furniture nails and a hammer.

If the installation process is characterized, is taken into account and additional tools.

casings attached to the prepared after the repair the wall after installation of the door frame and before mounting plinth.

begin processing on the side where the door leaf must be opened - there, where the door hinges.Measurements are made from the strip covering the box where the casing begins.The indentation is the same for 3rd parties, given fit the door.On the reverse side of the door it is not necessary.

Door trims is important to fix well around the perimeter of the door frame, but start with the installation of a side wall, which are mounted hinges.The maximum vertical length, accurately weighed workpiece, considering padding adding to the length.From this point begins the sawing line for surplus at an angle 45º.Note that the second casing metered not the first, and on the wall, just by applying and measuring out to the highest precision.Dimensions are often different, even at 1-3 mm, but it will affect the quality of the joint.

processed strips with cut-off upper corners baits nails at the base, and the other about a meter.It is necessary that under the uncommitted tops could enclose the upper section of the workpiece for accurate measurements.Under the top corners, gently laid a short casing and marks the point where exactly will sawing at an angle of 45º.Then the workpiece is taken out and were drinking miter saw or other tool.It is important to observe the accuracy of sawing and precise angle, otherwise interfacing will have to fill the gap.

Fixing casings

1. Once ready the 2 long sides and one short section, can be sanded a little slice and start fixing on the door frame.

2. The web is metered at the same distance of 5-6 nails, mark up the small holes under the nails.For the upper limit is enough 2-3 nail, better only on the sides.After fastening the casings on one side of the box, you can move on to the rear side.For this to be prepared a second set of casings.

Tip: Very convenient to mount on the screws, but will need to prepare for installation of mounting holes.The cap screw should be drown for masking.

3. On the other side of the door gap boxes fill a small amount of foam to keep it from bursting timber.Once the foam has hardened carefully cut off the protruding pieces, so that the surface was smooth under the architraves.

4. Measure out and fasten all the components, in the same way as you did on the first side of the door frame, but the margins are not needed.

. Tip: If you frequently collapse of the door fastening nails step should be less, and if the door is secured with decorative purpose, the optimal step - 40-50 cm If the capital is provided, it is fixed after completion of all the installation steps, and then transferred to the consolidationplinth.
