Currently, many owners are finishing the front doors and walls using modern and durable material - MDF. This material is made from wood microfiber. It has its own advantages. They also use drywall, PVC panels. These materials are suitable for finishing the opening itself to hide uneven walls or bricks. Facing the opening from MDF will be perfectly combined with a wooden door. When making doors yourself, these materials are used to finish the doors themselves.
Ennobling doors occurs for many reasons. Door trim can give it not only a beautiful look, but also serve as a heater or sound insulator. MDF is an excellent finishing material that has more advantages than disadvantages.
MDF can give a finished look to a door and make it beautiful. This material is highly resistant to mechanical stress and the environment. Such panels are not afraid of impacts, can have any color and texture, and provide good sound insulation.
This decorative coating can imitate the texture and color of expensive wood species. At the same time, the cost of such panels is much lower than wooden products.
Using MDF, you can sheathe an iron front door from the outside and from the inside.
Facing a metal front door is sometimes a necessary process. Such a door does not retain heat inside well. Therefore, it is necessary to initially insulate the metal door (with mineral wool, polystyrene, synthetic winterizer), and then finish it with an MDF panel. Then the inside of the door will look beautiful and make the hallway warm.
The sequence of steps when installing door slopes from MDF panels:
As for the door leaf, it can be insulated with foam, and overlays can be made from MDF panels or any other material.
After the installation of the door frame, an ugly opening remains. It can ruin the look of the whole room. For this, a decorative finish is needed that can hide all the defects in the coatings that arose during the installation of the door.
A good door finish will make the room beautiful and it will have a finished look. But, for this it is worth carefully choosing building materials. They must meet the minimum requirements: be durable, safe, match the color and texture of the interior. You can finish the door with your own hands, having all the necessary materials, tools, time.
The front door should be in harmony with the interior of the home.
Entrance door trim options:
To highlight the front door, you can use decorative elements. The lining of artificial stone around the doorway will look great.
Mirror door trim is suitable if the hallway has a small area and is cramped. With the help of a mirror insert, you can create the illusion of a large room. Such a door will look spectacular and draw attention to the guests.
You can also finish the door with leather. This option is suitable for old metal doors.
In addition to decorative finishes, it is worth taking care of the insulation and soundproofing of the doorway. Insulation must be installed on the inside. Thus, it will last longer.
Interior doors lose their original appearance over time. They are exposed to the pressure of the residents every day. Therefore, scratches, dents or other visible defects may appear on the door. To remedy this situation, it is not necessary to buy and install new doors. It is enough to perform a laminate lining. This can be done independently - quickly, inexpensively and efficiently.
Stages of finishing interior doors with laminate:
Laminate is supplied to stores in one piece or in strips. It is worth considering that all strips are glued end-to-end, and not overlapped.
An opening without a door is able to combine different rooms of the living space. Some apartment owners believe that it is not necessary to install doors between the hallway and the living room. Thus, they save living space.
Now there are various decorative materials for finishing doorways, which can be found in hardware stores. If there is no door, then you can make an interesting shape of the opening and decorate the jambs with plastic panels. In the event that the shape of the opening is standard, you can use the decor.
You can decorate the doorway with the following materials:
You can divide the space of a studio apartment into a kitchen and a room with an arched opening. PVC panels are perfect for finishing.
You can decorate the arched opening between the room and the hallway with clinker tiles. It comes in different colors and shades. There are not only rectangular tile options, but also corner ones.
The second option is suitable for finishing an arched opening or jambs. This material goes well with a plastered wall.
Finishing the front door and the space around it is the finishing touch, which is carried out in order to give a finished look. Sometimes, door trim (insulation and soundproofing) is performed to ensure comfort. If the door is metal, then sometimes cladding and insulation from the inside is simply a necessity. Now there is a large selection of materials with which it is possible to make the finish yourself - efficiently, quickly and beautifully.
