Door trim with dermatome hands

Sooner or later, but any apartment owner comes to the fact that the insulation of the front door is a must. The door covering by the dermatome with your own hands will help to solve several important problems - this its thermo - and soundproofing and decorative design.

To the fact that the door must be insulated, it usually comes in the cold season, when it would seem that in very small cracks begins to blow by draft. But is it worth the wait for winter? Is it not better to carry out similar work in advance?

When deciding on the transformation of the door leaf, you can refer to the simplest method of skinning - with an even stretch of dermatina, or you can use more complex versions when using several pieces of material.

In any case , all the nuances need to be thought through in advance and prepare the necessary tools for and materials for work.

Preparation for door skin

dermatine. In order to avoid distracting the wizard directly during the work, you need to do the following in advance:

1. Prepare a sketch of the future skin,if she has any drawing. It can be a carefully calibrated drawing or, for the extreme case , even an ordinary pencil sketch.

2. Drawing on the drawing, it is possible to compile a list of necessary materials that will be needed for work:

• Dermatina or artificial leather can be purchased in specialized stores, where a large selection of this material is presented. There you can choose it not only in thickness, but also in color and texture pattern on the surface. Standard dermatine width 1100 ÷ 1400 mm - it is just suitable for the door leaf in the apartment. To the length of the door leaf add 200 ÷ 250 mm.

. If the door is insulated and sheathed in a private house that has two doors, then to the resulting measurements, add 100 ÷ 150 mm , both along the length andwidth of the material.

Dermatine is also needed for the manufacture of rollers framing the door leaf. They are strips of material that have a length equal to the height of the door, and a width of 130 ÷ 170 mm. These elements will need three pieces.

If the door leaf is trimmed with individual dermatome elements, then it will need more. With the calculation of the material in this case, it is necessary to take into account the curvature of its inside the on each individual element by 50 ÷ 100 mm from all sides.

may be required. Another variant of the skin with a pattern may be the removal of it by separate strips of dermatine. Their number is calculated depending on the chosen decoration.

• Thermal and noise insulation can be achieved with thermal insulation material.

sheet foam is a good choice. For this purpose, a dense sintepon, felt or foam rubber is used. The material should have a thickness of at least 10 ÷ 25 mm, depending on its density and the estimated volume of the ( relief) pattern, which will be derived using constrictions or decorative nails.

If the iron door is to be insulated, then it is necessary to purchase sheets of polystyrene with the required thickness.

• In the case when it is planned to use nails covered with dermatitis or artificial leather for decorative design, it is worth choosing the color of their hats in such a way that the whole composition looks harmonious.

The trim will look more presentable if the nail heads are of a fairly large size and the same color as the entire panel skin.

Another option may be nails with metal heads repeating the color and texture of the material of the handles and locks.

• For finishing the metal door you will need glue, since dermatitis and a thin layer of insulation will be glued to the front on its side. For this purpose, the is suitable for the universal "Moment" or "88" glue.
• For the manufacture of sealing rollers, it is best to purchase a ready-made round insulation, with a diameter of 10-20 mm. He is sold by in the hardware stores. Such material will give the roller an accurate, uniform, rounded shape.

3. Some tools are also required for work:

• A small hammer for driving nails.
• Stepper with staples for fixing the material to the surface before clogging decorative nails. The optimal size of the staples is 8 ÷ 10 mm.
• Scissors and construction knife for cutting and pruning materials.
• For the dismantling of locks and handles and their subsequent installation back to their original place, you will need the screwdriver or screwdriver with different bits( bits).
• It will be nice to have on hand pliers and nailer , they can come in handy for removing old plating and removing nails that have entered the door nails incorrectly.

4. Buy in as you need from tools and materials, you can start the preparatory work.

• First, you need to remove all the elements installed on the from the door - locks, handles and a viewing eye.
• If the door skin is to be made, which already has old finishing material, it must be removed. The hammered material can be bent off using nail , separating the dermatine from the surface, and then, using the nails with the tool, carefully remove the canvas completely.

If the insulation is not glued to the door, the old plating will be removed easily. Remaining on the surface of a thin layer of material does not put a new finish.

• Next, some masters remove the door from the hinges and, for the convenience of further work, lay its on several chairs or on a fairly large table. Before removing the doors from the hinges, it is necessary to make on the door line liner on the contour of the door box.
• In most cases, the cladding is carried out in the vertical with its position, without removing it from the hinges.

The process of door skinning with the

dermatitis As is known, the door is usually sheathed on both sides of the - with external and internal, in these processes there are some differences that you need to know when getting started. In addition to this , there is a significant difference in the technology of finishing wooden and metal doors.

And, of course, there are different types of plating, which also need to be considered before starting work.

Covering the inside of the wooden door

Getting started, you should immediately pay attention to where the door - opens to the entrance or apartment, as this will determine the location and size of the rollers.

This publication will consider the option when the door opens inward apartment.

• The first step is to install the sealing rollers. They are made from prepared strips of dermatine and ready-made foam rubber rollers or stripes of other insulating material.

Dermatin fold in half and put inside strip of insulation. Next, place the roller along the perimeter of the door so that it protrudes from the on 4 ÷ 7 mm, as it must cover the gap between the door frame jamb and the door which are formed after its closing. On the side of the hinge arrangement, the roller must completely close the door jamb. The roller is fastened using of stepper and staples, starting from of the upper right corner. From there go to the upper left corner, then frame them lateral sides. The bottom is fixed in the last turn.

• The next step is to cut the insulation. The size of the cut strip should be at 8 ÷ 10 m m m is less than the door leaf.

is installed. Its is also fastened to by the brackets on the door plane, leaving 20 ÷ 30 mm around the edges free so that the decorative material - dermatine can be wrapped between the heater and the door.

• Next, you need to properly place the main canvas dermatina. The main thing - not to admit the distortions, otherwise the work will look messy.

The top of the cloth is first fixed. It is bent under the heater and nailed with decorative nails, placing them at a distance of 80 ÷ 100 mm from each other.

After the top edge is fixed and still once the correctness of direction is checked, the left side is nailed, and then the right side is punched. In the course of fixing, the material is stretched. The last is nailed the bottom edge of the material.

• Then, it is very important to accurately chart and cut out the holes for the locks and eye.
• If you want to make a drawing on the surface, you first need to mark it, and then fill the markings with decorative carnations , starting from of the center of the canvas. At the same time, you should try not to tighten the dermatome so that sagging does not appear.

Wooden door

Wooden door - external paneling

Cover of the door opening inside of the apartment, from the entrance door, proceed as follows:

• Before proceed to work, you need to close the door, and outline doorway door boxes on the canvas door .This line will determine the location of the skin on the door leaf. If the dermatitis is nailed to the entire surface, then the door and the lock will not close.
• The heater is cut to a size of 10 m m m is smaller than the outlined area, and is fixed by brackets.

• Next, with tucking behind the heater, the dermatine is stuffed along the marked line in the same order as on the inside of the - door first from above, then on the sides. The bottom edge while remains is free - it will be attached later.

• The heat roller in this case is fixed to the outside of the door frame casing with the of the three sides, and it is not installed on the threshold. This element in the fixed form must close the slots, finding on the door leaf at 20 ÷ 25 mm. But the keyhole should be free, and this should be provided in advance.
• The lower roller is not worth doing with because it will simply with over time, and it will look messy.

threshold. It is fastened to the lower part of the door itself, and its edge does not have an to extend beyond the marked line by one millimeter, since the door in this case can not be closed. This element nt pr and the closing of the door should fit the tightly to the from the top, that is, as if to find it.

• On the roller crooked to the door, tighten and nail the lower part of the base sheet of dermatina, or, as shown in the photo, you can hide the lower edge in the fastened roller.
• Further, in the dermatine skin, holes are made for the door accessories - locks, eyelet and handles. They need to be cut very carefully, without expanding more than necessary.

Metal door - finish with dermatitis

In recent years apartments in high-rise buildings have increasingly installed a second metal door, in addition to wood. Well, if you can buy immediately insulated and decorative door, but very often it consists only of a metal sheet and a frame from a corner or profile pipe. In this case, the owner of the apartment takes the into the hands of the tools and independently leads the door to the proper view.

The inner and outer sides of the metal door leaf also have their own features in their plating.

Inside of the metal door

In case the enters the interior of the , an unsightly metal frame comes out without insulation and decorative materials, this can easily be corrected by installing sheets of foam of suitable thickness and covering it with a decorative panel. To work will require a slightly different material from the cladding of the wooden door.

• Foam t with a thickness equal to the depth of the frame frame.
• The mounting foam will be needed to seal the seams between the installed foam and the metal frame.
• Wooden rails for fastening on the inner sides of the frame - they will be needed as a basis for fixing the decorative panel.
• Screws and drills for metal - they will be drilled holes in the corners( profile pipe) for screwing wooden rails to the metal frame.
• Decorative nails for fixing the dermis on the surface of plywood.
• Wood screws for screwing a plywood sheet to wooden slats.
• Sheet of plywood, in form and area equal to the door frame, not more than 10 mm thick.
• Decorative dermatitis and thin sheet of foam rubber, thickness 10 ÷ 15 mm.
• Adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape, to fix the insulation on the plywood.

Work on finishing the inner surface of the door goes as follows:

• To the internal ribs of the metal frame are screwed wooden slats. Preliminary it is necessary to drill through holes through the slats and metal elements of the frame.

• After fastening the rails between them and the metal sheet, slots can form which will become bridges of cold, so they are fixed with a mounting foam. It will contribute, in addition, and rigidity fastening racks.

• Further, between the fixed and with insulated rails, a foam is installed around which also pass the mounting foam. This treatment will also help the securely to fix the foam in the cells and close the last ways of possible penetration of the cold.

• mounting foam. On the plywood sheet, it is necessary to mark out the position of the wooden racks in the frame, since has to be fastened to it by the .
• If you need to hide the screws of the screws under the lining, the plywood must be screwed to the of its plating.
• First st pr is twisted to the middle rails, so that all the edges are left to establish a dermatitis for them.
• On the installed plywood for glue, and better - for double-sided paint tape fix foam.
• On top of the stretch dermatina, fill it over the edges of the plywood, and in the corners and around the edges in the middle of the sheet is screwed through by screws, whose heads are put into plywood. Formed holes can be gently sealed with a piece of material, and next drive a carnation with a decorative hat.
• Next, the dermatin is stretched and nailed around the perimeter of the carnations. Since the nails are hard enough to drive into the plywood, you need to choose a strong, made of quality metal, which will not bend.
• Thus, the decorative panel will be well fixed to the frame.
• Then, on it you need to map the location of the lock, cut the dermatitis and insulation, and then carefully drill the holes in the plywood.

It should be said that instead of plywood and dermatine, you can use a laminated lining to decorate the interior surface of the door. Installation its produce from the bottom and gradually rise to the top, and the sides of the lining are closed with a special corner.

Exterior side of the metal door

When decorating the outside of the metal door, you can use a not too thick felt to adhere to the dermatine, which is glued to the metal surface.

• A heater is cut less than the door leaf size by 7 ÷ 10 mm, and the dermatine is larger than this size by 60 ÷ 80 mm. This extra portion of will go to to bend the edge to the other side of the sheet.
• The polymer adhesive is applied to the surface of the metal sheet.
• Next, it is applied a heater and cuddles. It is necessary to allow time for the glue to seize and dry.
• At the top of the insulation stretches the dermatitis, bends over the edges of the metal panel of the door and sticks on the other side. It is best to use for this purpose quick-drying universal adhesive.

First, the upper edge of the material is glued. Further, it is stretched and fixed to the side parts of the door. When forming a surplus material on the curls, it is best to cut it, otherwise it can prevent the door leaf from closing freely.

If the finishing material is very tight, and the at the corners of the is too thick, then the part of the dermis should be cut off at these places of the .

• If you do all the work in a hurry, the door will be neat and respectable.

• At the end of , door accessories are installed and screwed on the door - locks with handles and eye, if it is provided for installation.

"Carriage" sheathing

"Carriage" sheathing or screed - is quite popular, since the door after it looks aesthetically and respectably. However, not every owner of the apartment can afford this, since the work on the of its implementation is quite painstaking and requires skill.

This skin is made in two different ways by the - from a single material or from pre-cut pieces of dermatine. Both methods are risky for , as in both the first and second versions the material can be damaged and the door is not trimmed if there is no experience in performing such "filigree" work.

Therefore, the can first be trained and sewed in this way, for example, the surface of a stool. You can use any training cloth.

In order for all the work to be successful, it is necessary to conduct a number of preparatory measures. It is very important not to neglect the careful marking of the - only in this case geometrically smooth shapes of squares or rhombuses can be obtained.

• For marking, you need to take the fox t t with plywood, the same size as the door leaf. It should be drawn on flat squares or rectangles.
• At the intersections of the straight lines, round holes are marked and then drilled, so that they form diamonds or squares at their corners.
• Plywood is superimposed on a foam mat and places are marked through the holes on the on it , where decorative nails will be hammered.

• Next, the marked foam is placed on a wooden base. If it is too thick, then in the it can be cut round holes for hammering nails.
• Around the holes or painted circles are traced by a stapler, nailing the insulation to the substrate and marking the grooves.
• Dermatine is drawn from the wrong side to even squares, which should have a size 8 ÷ 10 mm larger on each side than the figures drawn on the foam rubber. These extra millimeters are needed for the bends of the edges of the material when it is nailed.
• Then, the material is cut into the cut pieces, and you can proceed to fix it to the door leaf.
• Pieces are superimposed on foam rubber in the markings and nailed. You can first outline them with a stapler, and then nail with decorative carnations.

• It is necessary to ensure that the nesting on the other pieces of the dermatitis goes one way, otherwise the harmony of the pattern will be broken.
• Without the proper experience the work will seem quite complicated and long, however, if you have patience, then you can gradually complete the with its .

It is much more difficult to bring out a carriage pattern from a single canvas, since it is very difficult to accurately measure and grasp the same strips that will serve as a foam rubber coupler between nails.

dermatitis. There are other ways of upholstery of the door using thin strips of dermatine or line, but in order to achieve the desired success, in all cases careful marking of the door leaf is necessary in all cases.

If this work is done on its own, then not only will experience and skill in its implementation, but also save a substantial amount. Therefore, if there is a desire to try yourself in this peculiar wallpaper art, then it's worth taking a chance by training for to start the on small planes.
