Is it better to install door frames in a right-angle or I-shaped shape? A 30-year-old carpenter said this!

Buying a house and decorating it is a major event in life. Many people have worked hard for many years and want to own a house of their own. Through their own efforts, they finally bought the house. The next step is to decorate it. Decoration is actually a meticulous job. Every corner of the home must be taken into consideration, so that there will be no regrets when you move in in the future. Today I will tell you about the decoration of the door at home. The door is the facade of the home, so it is particularly important. Therefore, when decorating door sets, which one is better, the I-shaped shape or the right-angled shape? Let’s listen to what the old carpenter said. After listening to the old carpenter, fortunately, I knew it in time!

1. Right-angle type

The right-angle door cover method is currently a commonly used method. The construction method is quite simple, that is, use the door frames on both sides, cut the edges into a 45-degree angle, and then join them together to form a right angle. The advantage of this construction method is that it is convenient and simple, and does not require too much technical craftsmanship. It can be cut and put together directly. However, this construction method also has many shortcomings. After a long time, the gaps are prone to become too large or even open, and dust is easy to accumulate in the internal gaps.

2. I-shaped door cover

Another door cover design is the I-shaped door cover. When the I-shaped door cover is spliced, it forms a T shape. , the structure of this kind of door cover is not as strong as the 45-degree door cover. If the construction master's skills are not up to standard, it will be prone to deformation in the future. However, the advantage of the I-shaped door cover is that the style is more unique and beautiful, and this kind of splicing will not cause gaps, and it is not afraid of hiding dust, and the overall aesthetics is better.

So the carpenter told me that if your home has a certain pursuit of aesthetic decoration and requires it to be more beautiful, then he still recommends using an I-shaped door cover, which is more practical and beautiful. But if it is just a general decoration and the main pursuit is cost-effective, then the right-angle type will be fine.

3. Door cover installation skills

The first step is to make the basic frame of the door cover:

The master cuts the woodworking boards into equal-width sizes, and then Such a door frame is made, which is the basic frame of the door cover. The material must be good wood board. The weight of the door itself and the door will have a certain strength in daily use are all carried by the door cover. Generally, Solid wood such as Liu'an will be used as the core wood board. The hardness of these woods is relatively high, and the screws are not easy to loosen, so the door is not easy to sag.

The second step is to drill holes in the wall:

The master uses an electric hammer to drill holes in the wall, nails wooden wedges of appropriate size, marks, and drives round nails through the door frame. Wooden wedges secure the door frame to the wall.

Note: When installing the door pocket, it must be vertical and horizontal in all directions, vertical from the front and side. The frame of the door pocket must be at right angles, so that it will be standard after installation, which is what we usually Said the installation was correct.

The third step is to make a layer of laminated steps:

After the basic frame is fixed, it is time to make a layer of laminated steps. The function of the laminated steps is to block the gaps in the door. It looks very tight from the outside. . Generally speaking, the door is installed on the side of the room, and the opening direction is on the side of the room. Leave a certain distance on one side of the door. The size depends on the thickness of the door ordered, usually about 4-5 cm.

The fourth step is to make the veneer panel:

The next step is to veneer the panel. In general home decoration, the relationship between style and panel selection is relevant. The panels are mainly divided into clear water and dark water. Some modern simple styles include elegant maple (clear water), molded board (white dark water), etc.

4. Precautions for the installation of door pockets

Door pocket is a construction and decoration term. It refers to the two door frames inside and outside the door. There are also those directly called door frames.

1. Function: The original function was to fix the door leaf and protect the corner of the wall (because the previous walls did not have or rarely had such high-quality wall paint as now, and they needed to be protected). But now this problem no longer exists, and the actual functional needs have been lost, and it has become a purely personal aesthetic need.

It is often used in the decoration process to protect the door from scratches, corrosion, damage, dirt, etc. It is usually tailor-made and has the basic information of the decoration company printed on it for advertising purposes. , environmentally friendly texture, high quality and low price.

2. Installation: If the door cover is made on site in the traditional way, the on-site decoration workers will directly fix it to the door cover body of the door opening wall with nails; and if it is the door cover installation of a complete set of door products (now more and more (As more and more users adopt complete sets of door products), two issues must be considered:

(1) Whether the technical structure of the corresponding complete set of door products meets the requirements for a complete set of door products. The three major technical characteristics of firmness, accuracy and stability;

(2) The complete set of door installers’ prior survey of the installation site and the standardization of the installation process (such as the use of foaming agents and other methods may have an impact on the firmness, accuracy and stability of the door cover in future use).

Finally, the old carpenter concluded that whether you choose a right-angle or an I-shaped door casing when repairing it depends on your personal needs. According to the above introduction, if you want to be more beautiful and hygienic, it is recommended to choose the industrial door casing. For font door frames, if you don’t have any aesthetic requirements and can be satisfied with ordinary decoration, you can just choose the right-angle type, because the right-angle type will be more cost-effective!
