Installing door slopes with their own hands : the installation of panels and trim

Installing door slopes - one of the final stages of installation of doors, allowing them to bring finality to design and successfully enter the door to the interior.Door slopes have not only a decorative function, but also allow complete insulation of doors.

Installing door slopes

Finish door slopes can be done in several ways:

• Plastering with subsequent painting or wallpapering;
• Plastering finished with decorative panels in the glue;
• finishing MDF panels, gypsum board, laminate flooring, mounted on the frame.

technology implementation door slopes of all these materials is shown below.

Preparations

Before starting work, it is necessary not only to choose a way to finish, but also to prepare the doorway, the door itself and the surrounding area construction work so as not to damage them.The doors and walls of land on which they are located, it is desirable to hide the plastic sheeting, sticking it on an adhesive tape.Sex is better to lay a cardboard.Also, all the speakers need to remove elements that may hinder the installation: door handles, locks, chains.

Preparing to Install door slopes

old plaster with poor adhesion need to recapture, slopes from dirt and dust.All gaps between the opening and the door frame on the front door should be zapenit assembly foam - this will improve its thermal and sound insulation.Before that, of the slots removed dust, the remnants of construction debris and slightly moistened concrete from a spray for better adhesion.Foam filled crevices and wait for its full expansion and solidification during the time indicated on the package.After solidification of the foam cut off the excess with a sharp knife.

Also in preparation is possible to lay the electrical cable for the lighting installed above the entrance, or other communication that you want to hide under the lights.

Plastering door slopes

perform Plastering before painting or finishing decorative panels on the glue.Plasterer door slopes with cement-sand mortar, is sometimes added to the solution components to facilitate rapid setting, such as alabaster.Under painting plastered slopes further align putty.

door slopes plaster

necessary materials and tools:

• primer for concrete deep penetration;
• Beacon profiles;
• cement-sand mixture (DSP);
• leveling and finishing putty;
• Alabaster;
• reinforcing mesh and serpyanka;
• Building level;
• spatula and trowel;
• Building mixer for mixing the solution;
• Brush primer.

Technology:

1. Prepared cleaned surface slopes are treated with a brush primer on concrete.Maintained for a time, primer recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Install the flashing profiles level.To install profiles on slopes cause small areas of the solution, it is possible with the addition of plaster - so he quickly grabbed.Align beacons on the level in all directions.Biding to the solution set.
3. Trowel applied solution on the slopes and with a spatula, or align its rules on beacons.Expectant day or two before the seizure of the solution and curing.
4. If you plan to paint the slopes of paint, they must be completely leveled with putty.First on the reinforcing grid is applied leveling layer with large particles, then a layer of finishing putties.Corners and joints is recommended to glue serpyanku.
5. leveled surfaces can be painted with any paint or wall papered.

Mounting slopes adhesive

After plastering lined slopes, you can not only paint, but also decorate the panels of MDF, plastic, vinyl, glue them to a suitable adhesive for these materials.This method of finishing slopes is good because it allows you to design a single doorway, picking material the same color and texture as the cover door.

Mounting door slopes on the glue

necessary materials and tools:

• Selected finishing panels;
• Plastic corner trim corners and joints;
• plat;
• adhesive recommended by the manufacturer of the finishing material;
• sharp knife or hacksaw to solid panels;
• Roulette;
• level;
• spatula.

Technology:

1. plaster slopes doors on the above technology and then pour plaster coated primer dry.
2. slopes cut out of the material chosen, applied them to the place of fastening and trimmed if necessary.
3. Apply adhesive with a spatula on a smooth surface layer and decorative wall panels, allowed to stand for several minutes and are pressed tightly against the wall slopes.Excess adhesive is removed.If necessary, set the struts supporting the panel until the glue dries.
4. Install trim and decorative corners.

door trim panels on the frame slopes

This method is chosen when the can or should avoid plastering.Finishing panels on the frame is slightly inferior in terms of thermal insulation plaster, but it allows you to quickly replace the finish slopes in the repair.The panels in this case is attached to a metal or wooden frame on the screws.Frame exhibit in the level, and you can smooth out the differences are quite large and uneven.As a finishing material may be gypsum board, or even any panel laminate.

door trim panels on the frame slopes

necessary materials and tools:

• choose finishing materials;
• Metal profile for drywall or wooden bars;
• Screws;
• For slopes of plasterboard - putty and serpyanka;
• Screwdriver;
• level and tape measure;
• Hacksaw, sharp knife.

Technology:

1. is preparing the surface of the door opening: remove flaking paint, plaster, dust and dirt.Soil surface to reduce its dusting.Align it is not necessary.
2. is attached to the slopes guides for plasterboard or wooden blocks on the level.If the wall has great distortions, align them using pieces of plywood or boards of different thickness by placing them under the guide bars.It can also be used for drywall hangers.When mounting rails allow for the thickness of the coating material.
3. between the rails can be laid the mineral insulation, eto especially true for entrance doors.
4. Slice the finishing material on the size of the slopes, try on and adjusted if necessary.Fix otkosyna frame.
5. When attaching drywall screws screwed on the perimeter slopes slightly utaplivaja them, and then glued junctions and serpyanku shpaklyuyut into two layers.MDF panels can be mounted on the liquid nails, spot-on guides.
6. When decorating vertical slopes laminate fixed bottom board, the following three are fixed on the lock, fourth again secured with screws or finishing nails.On the horizontal upper slope to be fixed each laminate plank.
7. slope angles and walls need to be finished with the help of trims or decorative corners.

Door slopes, made with his own hands - not such a difficult task.Selection of a suitable material and technology will allow you to do the job quickly and with minimal cost, and you can use the remnants of building materials from the repair or nekonditsiyu bought at a deep discount.
