We install the door slopes ourselves

 
 
The long-awaited day finally came, the installers arrived and put a brand new, shining front door. The case went well, they didn't have time to look around – the door was already installed and was flashing through the film. But the view is intimidated by irregularly (though not always) knocked-out doorways. Probably, the situation is familiar, isn't it?

How to make these door slopes on your own? Today there are the following main types of processing of door slopes:

- plaster;

- plasterboard slabs;

- panels made of plastic, laminate, MDF or chipboard. Consider the most recent of the above. Chipboard is essentially glued sawdust pressed into a sheet of a given format and covered with a film. Furniture is made of this material and currently it appears to be the most budget option for door slopes. In addition, even a non–professional can produce such a finish - it is enough to be able to handle a hammer and a saw.


For work we will need furniture boards. In them you can buy shields and, in addition, platbands of all sizes and colors.


It is recommended to measure the dimensions of the slopes immediately and immediately decide on their coloring. If the house is panel, we choose the depth of the slopes from 5 to 15 centimeters, for brick walls – 18-35 cm. Measure the depth for the left, right, upper, and lower sides and choose the widest of the measurements – this is the depth we need. We will also need screws for metal 4 by 75 mm (seven pieces), a foam cylinder, as well as finishing nails.


We will need the following tools: a drill and wood drills with a diameter of 4 and 10 mm, a circular saw (in its absence – an electric jigsaw), a saw with a fine-toothed blade, a hammer and a sharp knife.


According to the measured depth, we cut off the panels with a circular or jigsaw. We prepare the panel along the width of the box, drill 3 holes with a thin drill: in the middle and along the edges. With a thicker drill, we drill the recesses under the caps of the screws. This will be the threshold. Then we attach it to the bottom of the frame with screws – the threshold is ready.


We measure the height from the threshold to the top of the frame, take away 16 mm, saw off two sidewalls of the slope to this size, fasten them, with two screws each, to the frame. We put the top of the slope on them (that's why we made the sidewalls 16 mm shorter) and fasten it to the frame in the same way as the threshold. This method is used with a slope depth of up to 15 cm, which is most often obtained in a panel house.


Then we fill the cracks inside the slope with foam. This will give rigidity to the slope itself, and additional noise insulation and heat savings to the apartment. Next, at an angle of 45 degrees, we cut off the platbands and nail the last with finishing nails. Nail caps are bitten off with pliers – so they will be invisible. The resulting chips and uneven sections are covered with wax of the appropriate color, which we buy in the store where we bought the panels.


As a result, we received an aesthetic slope, casting the colors of noble wood species of our choice – beech, walnut, oak, alder, maple, cherry and others. One used day off and a very budget installation of door slopes will not spoil the mood, but will give you pride and satisfaction with the work done.
