Doors on the front doors

Installation of the door leaf involves fixing it to the ends of the walls using anchors or self-tapping screws. One of the problems of this process is the mismatch of the thickness of the wall and the door leaf, which leads to the formation of excess space. Doors on the front doors will help to solve this problem efficiently and quickly.

Entrance doors are often manufactured with a standard door frame width that does not exceed 75 mm. At the same time, it is not able to completely cover the entire end of the wall, which leads to the formation of slopes, which were previously covered with cement or plaster.

Today, addons are used instead of this approach. These designs are a kind of continuation of the door frame... Their width is selected in such a way that, together with the doors, they completely hide the end of the wall, forming an integral connection.

Technically, add-ons are boards or metal inserts that are screwed next to the door leaf. It is important here that the design of both parts matches. The installation of extensions allows you to solve the problem with slopes and make the opening much more beautiful and practical.

Dobors consist of two vertical and one horizontal strips. Their width is selected individually for a specific doorway. Often, these structures are mounted on entrance doors to give them a more aesthetic appearance.

There are several positive aspects of installing extras:

1. Easy to install. It is possible to assemble extensions in a short time, even if you do not have a lot of experience working with such elements.
2. Minimization of finishing. Docks completely hide all the irregularities on the walls, so you do not have to putty them additionally before installing. In some cases, all the same, minimal finishing is carried out, but this requires a minimum of costs and materials.
3. Long service life. The planks are practically not subjected to physical stress, so they can only be damaged intentionally. This also affects their service life.

Structurally, door accessories are small strips that are installed next to the frame. But at the same time, they can have a variety of designs, which allows them to be divided into several types:

This type of filler is an ordinary board that is fitted to the width of the wall. It just fits at right angles to the door frame. From the outside, the structure is closed with a casing.

It should be noted that the outer end of the board can have different shapes. The simplest option is a regular board in the form of a rectangle on all sides. But there are also products with an edge. This part is located at the junction of the extrusion and the casing. The presence of this cut allows both elements to fit efficiently and hide the joint to the maximum.

A feature of this type of add-ons is the presence of grooves at the ends of the strip. Outwardly, they are somewhat reminiscent of lining, since they can also be connected. These extensions are used for the purpose of building up. Therefore, there is no need to worry if you have a wide wall, as it will not be difficult to find the right number of planks.

It should be noted that all extensions are manufactured in standard sizes.Therefore, it is not always possible to select the planks in such a way that they become flush with the outer wall.

One of the important factors when choosing add-ons is their size. Manufacturers today produce products in a very wide range of these values. Often they are all guided by the standard wall sizes in apartments or private houses.

Today, there are several types of add-ons on the market with the following dimensions:

1. The height can vary from 2060 to 2200 mm.
2. Width varies from 50 to 560 mm.
3. Thickness varies relatively little. There are modifications on the market in which this value is in the range of 10-20 mm.

It should be understood that all of these characteristics are not standardized and therefore only depend on a particular manufacturer. If the standard fittings are not suitable for your opening, then you can make a structure with the required parameters on request. This is often done directly by the organization that sells and installs the door. At the initial stage, the company's specialists perform all the necessary measurements and adjust the fittings to specific dimensions.

A special feature of the add-ons is that they are adjusted in design to the parameters of the doors. Therefore, manufacturers are trying to use for this the same materials from which the canvas is made. Several types of door fittings can be found on the market today:

• Wooden... Conifers are used here as the main material, since they are easy to process. Such products are among the most expensive, so they are not always used. It is advisable to install wooden extensions only inside the building, since if they are placed on the street, then the tree will quickly become unusable.
• Wood board panels... For the manufacture of such structures, MDF, chipboard, fiberboard, OSB or plywood are used. Products made from slabs are notable for their low price, as well as unique decorative characteristics that are not inferior to the natural massif. But at the same time, the products do not resist moisture well and, when used in such an environment, can simply swell. To minimize this effect, they are covered with special protective films.

• Plastic. Similar extensions are used in conjunction with a similar type of door. It should be noted that the material is very fragile, but at the same time it is not afraid of moisture and easily tolerates temperature changes. Experts also recommend using them indoors.
• Metallic. The most versatile products that perfectly withstand frost and are also highly durable. Often they are installed on the front entrance doors of multi-storey buildings. To get a high-quality joint, special adapters are used during installation.

The design of the addons determines how attractive the door frame will look. Today manufacturers present many shades and colors of these products:

• black;
• White;
• Gray;
• brown etc.

Many addons today are painted to match the color of the wood. At the same time, they can also imitate her drawing. Modern technologies make it possible to obtain almost any color of addition. It is only important to choose the right one for the style of the interior.

If you need a unique design, then you can order it individually. But the cost of such an addition will already be slightly higher than that of standard designs.

The process of making doborks involves creating a frame, and only then finishing it to give decorative features. Today, such operations can be performed using several approaches:

1. Veneering. The use of veneer makes it possible to imitate almost any tree species on the surface of the extrusion. The material itself is completely safe for humans, as it is made from natural raw materials.
2. Lamination. This process involves pasting the blank with special types of paper, PVC film or eco-veneer. These materials not only change the design of the product, but also additionally protect it. This approach is very often used in the manufacture of add-ons from chipboard or MDF.
3. Coloring. This is the simplest and most common finish. The paint can be applied to almost all types of materials. However, it is impossible to get a unique product design.
4. Varnishing. The application of varnishes is practiced only for natural wood. These substances allow not only to protect its structure, but also to emphasize the uniqueness of the pattern.

Dobory is a decorative element of a doorway, so its choice should be taken seriously. To purchase quality products, you should follow simple guidelines:

• Take measurements... This procedure must be carried out carefully and slowly. If you incorrectly determine the dimensions of the extension, then gaps may appear that cannot be repaired. We'll have to completely change the design to a new one. Door slopes are often irregular in shape. Therefore, the width and height of the extension should be measured in several places. This will allow you to identify the narrowest and widest spots. Based on the data received, you need to buy an add-on, which should be slightly larger than the slope itself.
• Choose the design of the add-on for the color scheme of the door leaf... If it is not possible to purchase a similar pattern, you need to try to find the most approximate shades and textures. If this is not done, then the add-on and the box will have a contrast that is not very pleasantly perceived visually. For example, do not fit a plastic strip under wooden doors. It is better to use boards from an array here.
• Pay attention to product quality. Try to buy products only from trusted manufacturers that use natural and safe materials for their production.

Well-chosen accessories will emphasize the beauty of the door and will be a great addition to the interior design.

White laminated extensions repeat the general style of the long corridor and all the doors located in it. Gold decor and fittings of doors and wallpaper and laminate to match them make the interior luxurious.

Dark solid wood panels and doors are complemented by the same accessories. Everything is done in a classic style, it looks strict and very beautiful.

And here the extras are non-standard, carved, they decorate a chic wooden double door.

Here is another version of the original accessories that adorn the door itself and the entire interior of the room as a whole.
