Today, room doors are among the building elements, which any do-it-yourselfer can install or replace himself. replacement means: hang out old door, hang new door. Door hinges and lock match exactly on standardized doors. Installing a new frame means only a little more effort. The prefabricated frame is assembled and fixed in the door jamb in just a few simple steps. The frame is aligned and wedged, fixed with mounting foam and later the loose cladding mounted.
Door leaves with glass cut-outs are not just for decoration, but also have the great advantage, to brighten and illuminate windowless rooms. There is a wide range of quality doors in specialist shops.
Soundproofing is important
If the transmission of structure-borne noise is to be prevented, the door frame must not stand on the screed. This is achieved, when the door lining is placed on a precisely cut felt strip or carpet is run underneath.
For the same reason, a rigid connection between the masonry and the frame should also be avoided. Modern plastic technology with one-component assembly foam helps here. He will at the top corners, injected in the area of the lock and the hinges as well as near the floor between the lining and the opening in the masonry. The door jamb must be wedged into the door opening during this procedure. Underlay wood avoids pressure points or scratches on the painted surface. Since the foam post-expands in the cavity, he exerts an increasing pressure after the injection. It is therefore essential that the struts remain between the door frame legs until the foam has hardened.
The door can be hung even before the foam injection, this gives the frame more stability. bloated, hard foam is cut off with a sharp knife.
Renovation frame made of wood
Old steel frames can also be reworked with the complete packages from HGM Türwerke: They remain in the masonry, if a renovation frame is used.
