We sew the entrance metal door.
With the help of metal doors, people learned to defend themselves against thieves. But it turns out that these reliable doors are stealing themselves. They steal heat in the apartments. Through the cracks between the door and the doorframe, it leaves as much heat as it would go through a quarter of your window. Plus, the metal door, unlike the wood, is itself a very good conductor of heat. The solution to the problem is simple and long-known - interior upholstery.
To enclose, to cover the metal door You will need:
-plywood;
is an epoxy adhesive;
-a dermatine strip 10 cm wide and full-length in length;
- construction stapler;
scissors;
- a 2 cm thick pore and 10 cm wider than the door leaf;
is a quill.
1. The metal door trim is a little more complicated than the wooden one. After all, the cladding material must be fastened with nails. It is not possible to hammer nails into the metal. Therefore, from the very beginning, take pieces of plywood and glue them to the door. It is desirable to glue the whole plane with plywood. Use epoxy adhesive.
2. After gluing for about a day, leave the door alone. You can not worry about the beauty of the plywood coating. When all work is done, the plywood will not be visible.
3. When the plywood is glued, go directly to the upholstery. The gap between the door jamb and the door leaf should be closed with a roller. This is the main element of the upholstery.
4. Make the workpiece for the roller. First, take a strip of dermatitis 10 cm wide and the length of the entire door. Fold it with the wrong side inward and nail to the door with small studs every 10-15 cm or fasten with a construction stapler. To dermatyn not frayed, cut it with scissors next to the door hinges.
5. When the blank is ready for the platen, secure the packing. Use foam rubber 2 cm thick and 10 cm wider than the door leaf. Place two layers of batting on top of the foam rubber. He, too, nail the whole plane. Now it's time to impose dermatitis.
6. Dermatin should be cut with a small margin, 3cm from all sides. Start nailing from the center. First, from above, then from below. Dermatine material during installation should be tightened as much as possible. When you took a dermatine canvas from above and below, a crease should appear. This indicates that you have pulled the material correctly. Then the upholstery is fixed with simple furniture nails all around the perimeter.
7. The roller should be filled with batting. Take the remainder of the batting and twist into a tube. On the perimeter of the door, put a batting tube and wrap it in the blank for the roller. Nail the edge of the workpiece to the door.
Roller is ready. You can fix the door handle and the door eye. That's all, now obit or obshit metal door will be easier, knowing how.
