Prints give the door to the aesthetic appearance, their installation means the completion of the apartment repair. It is possible to fasten the platbands yourself, it is worth only to explore the features and nuances of this work.
Preparatory work
Before work, trust the quality of the wall processing on both sides of the door. They must be smooth, when applying a ruler, there are no cracks under the instrument. Walls should be painted or wallpaper are pasted on them, door boxes are installed, there are no plinths in the door area. Prepare the tool - roulette, hacksaw with small teeth, hammer, stub.
Select type type
Samples from laminated or veneered MDF and PVC have good operational qualities. These materials do not respond to pairs and temperature changes. Remember that platbands with a flat surface, not shaped, are connected between themselves at right angles. The same joints at the door with the capitle. Samples with a embossed or semicircular surface in the joints of the joint are cut at an angle of 45 degrees. The platband and doors should have a similar veneer structure, look for samples in stores corresponding to the structure of your door.
Pruning corners
The first is the vertical planka from the door hinge. Make a penalty from the edge of the door box, usually focus on the location of the door hinges or on decorative planks that closed them. An indent must be the same on the perimeter of the door. On the back of the door, the platbands are installed at a distance of 0.3-0.5 cm from the edge of the door box.
Determine the length of the vertical platband from the floor to the top taking into account the return. On the workpiece, place the label and draw a line at an angle of 45 degrees using a stouch (tools for performing labels on the boards at an angle). Repeat the operation to determine the pre-bar length from the opposite side, doors. It is not recommended to make a copy from the first sample, often the length of the left and right plank is different. Disposable from the platbands unnecessary parts by tags. To beautifully cut the workpiece, use the hacksaw with small teeth.
Fastening of mines
Temporarily secure the platbands to the doorway, having to have them with two nails, while the upper parts of the parts should remain free, and the lower parts of the planks - lie on the floor. Under the products above the door, install the top bar, ensure the necessary indent from the edge of the door box. Spend on the upper platband line for cutting off. Remove the top platband, cut off the extra parts by the labels and install on the regular place. Secure the platbands to the box. If the bugs appeared in the connection locations, disguise them with a sealant.
Methods of fastening of cylinders
The mounting method depends on the material of the platband and the quality of the wall processing:
- Billets made of soft wood It is recommended to secure ordinary nails without hats (bite them) or finish nails.
- In platbands from the MDF, first perform holes with a diameter of 0.5-1 mm, which will not allow damage the samples during the clogging of nails.
- Clutches with heads climb into the wood, and traces from above disguise as a waxy proofreader of suitable color.
- If you roll on the tanks on the self-tapping screw, in the places of overtaking in advance, perform shallow holes for masking the fasteners heads.
- You can use the assembly gun shooting special studs without heads.
- If the walls are perfectly smooth, platbands can be put on liquid nails. Plastic platbands are not afraid of curves of walls, so they are often glued to the walls.
The main condition for installing platbands is accuracy and attentiveness when removing sizes. Failure to comply with these requirements will lead to the purchase of new billets and additional costs.
