A full -fledged repair in the apartment ends with the replacement of the door, which cannot be installed without platbands, where all installation features are hidden. When replacing the door leaf, it is not necessary to change the entire door frame, but you can’t do without replacing the old platbands with new ones. They must correspond to the new door in style, color and texture. The aesthetic appearance of the door is guaranteed, the saving is tangible and to install some platbands on the door independently is a rather simple task.

The purpose of the door platbands
The doors are selected according to the general style of the interior. They can be bought in the form of a door leaf and supplemented with appropriate platbands. Buying a fully equipped door frame will cost much more. You can opt for the classics and buy entrance and interior doors in a single style. In the classics, different forms of platbands are used.
The overall design of the door box may include:
- framing the door leaf with cornice;
- vertical protrusions, imitating the column;
- a capitel resembling a decorative shelf above the upper platband.
However, in most cases, they are limited to a simple door with platbands, giving preference to a door leaf of natural array or eco -pon. It successfully imitates the noble texture of wood, and any shades are suitable for interior doors - from bleached oak to the chocolate palette of wenge. The role of the decor is played by glass inserts or strict overhead elements. However, here you can not do without platbands, under which the joint of the wall and the door frame is hidden. The front door involves a heavy and whole wooden canvas.
Punkers are decorative pads for decorating a window or doorway made of profiled strips. During the production of platbands, deciduous or coniferous rocks are used, and the venction of wood varieties is also widely used. All these options are used not only for the manufacture of the door, but also for platbands for interior doors or input. Door platbands are the simplest way to mask the gap between the door frame and the wall of the doorway. A competent choice of profiled planks is made not only in accordance with the texture and color, but also taking into account the minimum and maximum width.
Modern door platbands are made of different material;
- imitating any ecoshpon wood;
- natural array (wood);
- laminated plastic, repeating the wood texture;
- MDF with veneer coating.
Installation of platbands on the front door or interior is carried out at the final stage. It is also important to take into account that after these works it is difficult to make a neat painting of walls in the room or pasting with wallpaper. Finishing work is performed before the door installation, in extreme cases, can be used by masking adhesive tape. But the fastening of the floor skirting board is best done after making the platbands on the door.
Tip: Pay attention to the fact that the texture of wood is not so important for platbands, how much compliance with color. Often an interior or front door is made of one material, and the platbands are slightly different. And if they were acquired separately, it is difficult to achieve complete similarity. Color is what they pay attention to first of all, and the shades of the platbands and the doors should be as close as possible. But sometimes the design of the design is such that the frame of the door and the baseboard should be of the same color. This technique is used when there is no way to achieve similarities, then the principle of contrast is applied, which should organically fit into the concept of general design.
Varieties of platbands
The platbands are made independently from a solid beam, and there are decorative blanks that are purchased in the finished form and cut the platband on the door by the size of the desired length along their doorway.
Door platbands come in several types, for example, telescopic and simple invoices. Telescopic, as it were, envelop the protrusions from the platform of the platband, entering the grooves on the box - platbands on the door of the photo.
1. In the form, platbands are available in the main varieties:
- simple false, flat processed board, classic version for any stylistics;
- rounded on the frontal part, look a little unusual and elegant;
- figured cutters with a cutting with recesses of grooves of various shapes, unusually elegant and attractive.
2. The difference in the material from which the door platbands are made:
- from different types of wood, most often profiled with mills, sometimes even use manual woodcarbs;
- plastic platbands laminated for wood (PVC or polyurethane) resemble material for plastic windows;
- profiled or direct metal (steel, aluminum);
- composite materials from several components (laminated plywood, MDF).
3. There are also varieties for the installation of platbands:
- the simplest invoices, which are fixed on the door frame;
- telescopic, have a ledge, the so -called nose or wing, allowing you to insert parts into the slots of the frame, they are used on some deviations of the door box from the vertical of the walls, hiding all the defects.
Tip: when the cutting angle at the junction of the side and upper platband is ineffective, the gap in this place will be inevitable. It must be carefully masked with sealant or acrylic glue with the addition of a suitable pigment. If the gap is between the wall and the platband, you can fill the void with plaster using the mounting tape so as not to stain the surface.
Materials and devices for mounting platbands
The function of the platbands on the door is to hide or disguise all the defects of the doorway and form the gaps between the door frame and the opening in the wall. Neatly attached platbands on interior or entrance doors give them a finished look. It is very important to hide all the joints at the corners as much as possible so that the gaps do not form with obvious traces of carpentry glue. You can attach the platbands of the platband in different ways:
1. Ready -made stalgrims made of wood are easiest to mount on glue, for example, liquid nails or another species for construction. This method is used when the walls are perfectly smooth, and platbands with decorative grooves, and the use of nails is undesirable. It is also easier to glue extremely hard materials than to nail it.
2. The mounting foam is extremely rare, since it bursts from the inside wood and plastic. However, for the installation of a metal profile, it is possible to use it as platbands, but in minimal quantities, taking into account all the precautions of working with this building material.
3. When the platbands are not realistic, then the nails are used. It is quite effective - to fix the barners of the platbands with special thin nails, preferably without hats. The tops of long nails can also be cut independently. If nails with small hats are used, then their tops are slightly drained. For the maximum effect, they are disguised as a corrective pencil on the basis of wax or an acrylic sealant, precisely coinciding with a shade of wood or other material.
4. Effectively fastening the platbands and a building gun shooting with hairpins, but you need to have a skill to get as neat as possible. This is appropriate where the adhesive and other methods cannot be used, for example, if it is a temporary mount, and an Internet cable will be laid under the platbands in the future.
5. If the platbands are made of their non -standard dense materials, metal or from MDF, then it is possible to fasten with special methods. For example, sometimes it is required to drill holes for nails or screws in advance, which will be used to facilitate installation.
6. There is another spare option, when the platbands are installed on special mounts, “beaks” - they are sold in specialized stores with the installation instructions attached to them.
Tip: platforms from MDF and plastic can simply be glued. Plastic platforms prefer to glue. The flexibility of plastic gives an advantage - they are suitable for walls with small defects and bumps, for example, in an old sagging house.
Features of the installation of telescopic platbands
In some cases, the doors are available in the form of a finished box with the entire set for installation. Detailed instructions excludes errors and shortcomings, it is only important to understand the names - what are dobages, box and telescopic platband. This is a well-thought-out patented technology, in which some special fasteners do not need.
Sometimes additional dose is required, but this is if the width of the wall is greater than the alleged. Otherwise, small deviations vertically and the size of the box itself, which does not coincide with the width of the doorway, is easy to perform when adjusting the frame.
About all the features of installing a door frame with telescopic platbands is clear from the manufacturer's instructions. Telescopic platbands on the door with their own hands are installed strictly according to the technological scheme. A characteristic feature of this design is a rounded form of framing and a protrusion, which should be installed in a prepared groove. This mount can be additionally fixed using liquid nails.
Manufacturing door platbands yourself
For work with wood, the corresponding tool is used:
- pylorama for cutting wood;
- woodworking machine for preparing platbands of platbands;
- a fugitive machine for processing the plane of a rifled board;
- a flight for choosing blanks of the same size;
- manual power tool;
- grinder;
- bulgarian.
Immediately proceed with the manufacture of the platband using the tool is available only if there is experience. Therefore, it makes no sense to talk about the features of the work, we are talking about phased technology.
Tip: The choice is the optimal board is a responsible stage, since a high -quality dry board, without knots and defects, need blanks for platbands. It is important to compare the direction of the wood fibers on the side platbands, since the appearance after the stain, painting or opening with varnish will differ. The fact of taste is to choose wood without a pattern or textured.
Cutting blanks for platbands and processing is carried out a little larger, for subsequent fitting, so as not to measure. Make sure that the tool is well sharpened, and cut it exactly in measured corners, otherwise the cut will be inaccurate, you will have to mask defects.
After the preliminary design of the platbands, high -quality grinding is required, which is done in 2 stages:
- gross processing with a power tool;
- manual, using a fine -grained skin, wiping the edges of the fibers, circular scratches and small chips.
A slice at an angle of 45 ° is made after accurate measurements, immediately before installation, and not in a carpentry workshop. Keep in mind that you will need 2 pairs of blanks - on both sides of the door frame.
Preparation for the installation of lateral platbands
You will need to install door platbands:
- jigsaw or saw (small teeth);
- roulette, pencil and corner;
- plane -toes;
- furniture nails and hammer.
If the installation method differs, an additional tool is also taken into account.
The platbands are attached to the wall prepared after repair, after installing the door frame and before installing the baseboard.
They begin processing from the side where the door leaf should open - from where the door loops are located. Measurements are made from the bar that closes the box, from where the platband begins. The indent is made the same on the 3rd sides, given the fit of the door. On the back of the door, it is not required.
It is important to fix the door platbands well along the entire perimeter of the door frame, but the installation starts with the sidewalls where the loops are attached. We measure the length of the vertical workpiece as accurately as possible, taking into account the indentation, adding to the length. From this point begins a line for sawing off the excess at an angle of 45º. Keep in mind that the second platband is measured not on the first, but on the wall, just as applying and measuring for the greatest accuracy. Dimensions are often different, even by 1-3 mm, but this will affect the quality of the junction.
Processed strips with cut upper corners are baited with nails at the base, and the other about a meter. This is necessary so that under the unsteady tops it is possible to put the upper piece of workpiece for accurate measurements. A short platband is carefully laid under the upper corners and the points are noted from where the sawing will come from exactly at an angle of 45º. Next, the workpiece is removed and saw a end saw or other tool. It is important to observe the accuracy of sawing and the exact angle, otherwise the gaps will have to be filled on the nozzle.
Fastenment of platbands
1. After 2 long lateral and 1 short segment are ready, you can praise the cut a little and start fixing on the door frame.
2. In the canvas we measure the same distances at 5-6 nails, mark small recesses under the nails. For the upper bar, 2-3 nails are enough, it is better only on the sides. After fixing the platbands on one side of the box, you can proceed to the back. For this, the second set of platbands must be prepared.
Tip: It is very convenient to fix it on screws, but you will need to prepare holes for installation for installation. The self -tapping hat must be drowned for disguise.
3. On the other side of the door box, pour a small amount of mounting foam, so that it does not burst the wood. After the foam hardening, carefully cut the bulging fragments so that the surface under the platbands is even.
4. We measure and fix all the components, similarly to how they did on the first side of the door frame, but the indentes are not needed here.
Tip: with frequent slamming the door, a step of fastening the nails should be smaller, and if the door is attached with a decorative purpose, then the optimal step is 40-50 cm. If the capital is provided, then it is attached after the completion of all the stages of installation, after which they move on to the mounting of the baseboard.
