Selection of material
Today in specialized building materials stores you can find a huge selection of door models. The price of the toilet and the bathroom depends on the material from which they are made, as well as the size of the product.
Today, the stores are offered the following doors:
- Wooden. The doors made of natural wood are rarely installed in the bathrooms due to their high cost. At the same time, such doors have a very large weight, so they are trying not to apply. Of the advantages of the wooden door, durability, moisture resistance and an attractive appearance can be distinguished.
- "Canadian" - Door canvas, which consists of a wooden frame and two linings from the fiberboard. This is the cheapest door option that can be installed in the bathroom. However, the DVP in the untreated form is very badly resisting moisture, with poor ventilation it can swell and burst. In addition, this material does not endure mechanical damage too well. Buying such an option, you need to be ready, at least, to its painting in 2 layers. Typically, such doors are for sale covered with primer white. This option can be perfectly suitable for a temporary installation when "pressed" the repair time.
- Laminated doors and MDF. Middle value option between wood and "Canadian". Special covering door linings allows it for longer to maintain a commodity look. Such doors are easily clean, they are not afraid of moisture, do not require additional processing, and also have a relatively low weight, which will save on too powerful curtains.
- Doors in the bathroom and toilet from PVC. PVC is a very practical material. It takes place perfectly with moisture, pairs of temperature drop, it is easy to wash and for many years it does not lose its kind. However, for a private house, plastic doors for the toilet and the bathroom will not look quite aesthetic, so apply them mainly in public places, where practicality is more important than beauty.
Sometimes installed doors in the bathroom and glass toilet. However, they have a fairly high price.
Recommendations for the selection of interroom doors for the bathroom and toilet:
- When buying a door, pay attention to the models that are equipped with ventilation grids. They will allow no gap between the threshold and the air circulation web. Otherwise, the minimum clearance should be at least 20 mm.
- When carrying out repair work, you should choose door canvases of the same color and textures that will go into one corridor.
- Box for bathroom, given the high humidity of the room, must be made exclusively from the tree. Now in most stores building materials for sale veneered boxes. They do not require painting and varnishing, however, with a layer of veneer, it is necessary to be extremely neat during work on the crossbill under the hinge. An option from pressed cardboard is not suitable, because, saving now, you will have to spend money on its replacement.
- Choosing locks and accessories, you need to be guided by the golden mean "price-quality". Standard door equipment configuration for bathroom: handle with latch and lock. The first will not allow the doors to open, and the castle is needed so that if desired it can be closed in the room. Specialists advise to install locks with the possibility of opening outside. This will allow you to quickly open the door during the freelancer.
- When choosing a loop, you must be guided by the weighing of the door. The more her weight, the more powerful should be a loop.
- Be sure to accurately determine the size of the doorway and its thickness to correctly pick up the size of the door for the bathroom and toilet.
Installation doors do it yourself
Preparation of the door bloc
So, the start of installation of doors in the bathroom or the toilet should begin with the preparation of the door block and its assembly. The finished block is much easier to install. Many shops that sell door canvases and accessories for their installation offer their customers the assembly of the door block with the installation of locks and loops. Naturally, having special milling machines and circular saws, it is possible to do this in a few minutes. However, they do it far free, so you can save money, you can perform these works yourself.
First of all, you need to assemble the box of the door block. To do this, you will need:
- electrolovka,
- roulette,
- screwdriver
- electric drill,
- set of stainless tapered screws with a diameter of 4 mm.
Procedure for work:
- The door frame in height should be equal to the dimensions of the door plus the gap between the threshold and the web. Place the height of the side racks of the box and cut them off.
- Then we lay the rack and the crossbar on the floor and apply the cloth to them. Simple words, it is necessary to collect the entire door block to cut down the threshold and crossbar.
- Between the crossbar, the canvas and side racks put pieces of fiberboard to withstand the gap. Even if the door from moisture will swell a little, then thanks to them it will be perfectly closed.
- Collecting the block, we plan the length of the crossbar and the threshold and cut it off with the help of an electric bike.
- Then we apply the crossbar to the racks and drill the holes in it.
- With the help of a screwdriver and self-screws, we screw the crossbar to the racks. Similarly, at the bottom of the box, we set the threshold.
- In the collected box, it is necessary to cut the seats under the loop. To do this, applying a canvas to it, we plan a pencil of the cut-out place on the canvas and the rack. Be sure to do it together with the web, so the probability of error will be less.
- After markings, the canvas can be removed and start cutting the places under the loop. Do it with the help of the chisel. Neat tapping hammer on the tool, the chisel is carried out in the direction of the tree fibers, thereby removing the layers of the tree. Since this tool is pretty sharp, it is necessary to work with it carefully. From time to time, apply a loop in place so that the incision was uniform and the curtain was "recessed" completely.
- After cutting out places under the loop, we collect the box and cut the oil several times. It is necessary to do this in a non-residential room, since the coating has a very sharp smell and may cause headaches and nausea.
- At this time you can do the door. In the canvas, it is necessary to cut the hole for installing the door handle and the lock. To do this, we take the core of the handle and the castle and apply the door to the end. On the applied markup, we supply the contour pencil.
- Next, with the help of the chisel, cut the required hole to install the core. After that, install it in place. Next, place the holes for mounting the handle and the lock and drill them with a drill. The last thing we collect the castle and check the correctness of its work.
- According to previously applied tags, cut out the deepening for installing the loops using the chisel. We set the loops on the canvas and fix their pair of self-tapping screws. The cloth is ready to install.
Installing the door block box
After the olive is driving, the box can be installed in the opening. Before this, the walls in the opening must be cleaned of dirt and dust, as well as to progress the primer of deep penetration.
Installing the box is a rather time consuming process and better do it together. For this you will need:
- Perforator (if the walls are made of reinforced concrete).
- Screwdriver.
- Drill.
- Anchor bolts.
- Mounting foam.
- Wooden wedges.
- Level.
Procedure for work:
- The box in the opening is set in such a way that the threshold is slightly above the floor level. This makes that in the event of flooding water did not go to the apartment. For this, small wooden wedges are laid on the floor surface. With the help of wedges, exhibit a box in terms of level and fix.
- Then drills the hole in the box of the drill, and in the wall perforator. We make in the stands of 3 holes in the crossbar and the threshold - by 2. In the holes we are taking on the anchor head.
- We establish anchor bolts and fix them.
- Check the level of installation of the box in planes. If everything is in order, we throw the mounting foam clearances between the wall and the box. When applied, the foam should not be too cured, because it is quite expanding.
- After the foam dries, it happens no more than a day, it must be accurately removed with a wallpaper knife. After installation, the box can be painted in any color and operate with varnish.
Installation of the door leaf
Door canvas on the mounted box are not too complicated. Supporting it with his hands or with the help of wedges, just screw the hinges on the seats in the box. First one on top, then one below, thereby aligning the door. Try closing it. If everything is done correctly, the door will close without problems and evenly sends to the box. If not, it will be necessary to adjust it. After installing the door in the box, the openings are cut, and the pad for the handle and locks is installed.
The last stage will be the installation of platbands. Before that, they are cut with a stouch (fixture for cutting material at a pressed angle), paint and lacquer. Puts are nailed with nails without hats, so they will be unnoticed.
If you plan to install multiple doors in a separate bathroom, it is necessary to ensure that they are mounted at one level to look harmoniously. To do this, mark the height of each door on the wall at the door openings by taking it with a level.
The installation of the door in the bathroom does not constitute anything difficult, and if you do everything carefully and carefully, the result will be excellent.
