The casing for the door is a decorative element, one of the main functions of which is to mask the gap between the wall and the door frame. And if it's carved platbands, made by own hands - then this is an excellent decor element that makes your house beautiful and unique.
Installation of clypeus - the final stage of door installation, regardless of whether it is external or external. Therefore, the trim should be made in the same color as the door trim . Most often complete with a doorframe and trim. If for some reason you did not have any clypeus, then there is no particular difficulty in making and installing door trims from wood with your own hands.
How to make the trims themselves?
For this we need the following tools:
- A hacksaw on wood with small teeth;
- a tool for cutting corners in 45 degrees;
- nails without hats;
- a hammer;
- roulette;
- wedges;
- PVA glue.
- At the first stage, you need to primer all the platbands and after drying, paint them in the desired color.
- Then it is necessary to saw the trim for the required lengths. To do this, we need to find out how long our trim should be, and we need to measure the length of each of them individually, rather than making it the same for everyone. On the side of the door that opens to you, you need to measure the distance from the floor to the joint of two parts of the door frame. Now measure this distance on the platband, adding another 1 cm. At this point, a 45 degree angle will begin, which should also be drawn on the platband, and then saw with a saw or a stool.
- We lay out the pieces of clypees on the floor, apply the slices to the slices and glue them together for a more durable joining of the material.
- In the upper case we drill a small hole and screw the screw into it.
- We put the glued platbands in place and nail them. We sew the side frames with five or six nails, and the top one with two or three nails.
- The last stage of installing the clypeus on the door on one side will be to fill the crevices with foam. To do this, with the door closed, you need to insert between the box and the door wedges made of cardboard or orgolite so that when expanding the foam does not arch the supporting beams of the door frame. In the holes fill the foam about half the depth of the slit.
- When the foam dries well, you can begin installing the clypeus on the other side of the door. Here's how the properly installed trim frames on the door look.
