How to update interior doors - breathe new life

Как обновить old interior doors, каждый выбирает вариант сам. Я лишь расскажу о некоторых способах и декорах которые возможно использовать на практике.

Preliminary work

So:

• First we remove the door from the hinges and proceed to work.

Tip: If the door does not give in, and does not want to leave the hinges, then you need to put a lining on the floor (not to spoil or push the floor) under the door we start an ax, mount or wooden bar and using a small effort, we lift to the top, the door comes out freely with hinges.

• If the door is painted painted, then the paint must be removed (see How to remove the old paint from the door and cover with new material). This can be done with a grinding machine, wearing a large emery head or a grinder and wearing a soft brush with a metal brush. Work better to do on the street or balcony (loggia).

Attention: when working with grinders and brushes, use a respirator, protective glasses, pants and clothing with long sleeves.

When working from the brush sometimes fly off metallic hairs. After cleaning the paint from the door must be cleaned of dust. Areas where not cleaned manually. We take putty on wood and putty dents and chips.

Drawings

The drawing can be created with the help of a stencil and also with the help of masking tape.

Tip: It is better to remove the tape immediately after applying the paint, because after drying the tape can remove the pattern when removing it by chipping off the paint.

Such a picture can be found on different posters and calendars. Only glue on the door, we try to remove air bubbles, this can be done with a rubber spatula or roller.

The principle is the same as when wallpapering:

• Take a putty on wood and rubber spatula smooth edges so that the picture would be as one with the interior door.
• After drying the putty, we clean the place of the putty with a fine sandpaper and apply paint. (see Painting the old door: how it is done).

Holes and dents

One way

If there are dents, chips on the door, clean them additionally and treat them with a primer on wood.

You can lightly burn the wood with a blowtorch or a gas burner around the edges and in the middle of the door or along the contours, but not hold back the fire, but only slightly hold it so that the wood darkens slightly. After wiping the place of burning with a damp cloth, removing the carbon deposits.

Second way

There is another way to seal holes and dents:

• We take small, preferably as flour, sawdust (they can be assembled after working on wood thin sections of the machine, with a fine emery nozzle) and mix it with PVA glue and seal up the gaps and dents.
• Mix, adding more sawdust.
• After drying, go through the place with sandpaper. This is a very good way after the processing of sandpaper almost imperceptible differences.
• If we want to preserve the texture of the wood, then we pass the door with a light stain.
• Lubricate the hinges and put the door in place.

Hinges

If the interior doors are old and hinges (see Hinges for interior doors: types and methods of installation) they are smeared with paint or rust, this can be easily corrected.

So:

• Remove the loops, insert them in a vice, take a grinder with the same brush head and process it, press the vice, turn the loop and process the other side to shine like new ones.
• Lubricate them completely with grease, oil and put in place.

Council If the old nests from the screws are broken and when fastening the hinges, the screws fly in, then we take a piece of the chip at approximately the diameter of the nest and drive in the end to break off.

Decor

Door without glass

The photo shows how to update the interior door using simple and affordable materials (see Interior door decor).

Decor with fabric and wallpaper:

• We take a non-thick cardboard as a base, cut out a 20 × 20 square and make a window in the middle.
• Choose wallpaper and sticking to the square
• We cut both the middle and the edges, only so that the edges could be hidden by sticking to the back.
• In this window we select pieces of any tissue and glue in the resulting frame, you can use a thin mirror.
• The finished structure is planted on liquid nails to the door using an ordinary level.

Note: You can rotate the square by 45 degrees and glue a rhombus, you can use any shapes.

Some points that we consider:

• If these are the doors to the bedroom, you can do it in the picture or add elements of light eroticism and your homeworkers will always know what you are doing there :-).
• Если дверки лакированные (покрыты ламинированным покрытием (см. Ламинированные двери и правила выбора)), но изношены и вы думаете её поменять, не зная как old interior doors обновить, то поступите просто — места сколов и царапин можно легко скрыть восковым карандашом, которые продаются в магазинах, (подберите цвет и оттенок). Инструкция прилагается вместе с карандашом.

Door with glass

Sharing the door

Вот способ того, как облагородить old interior doors со стеклом. Условно как бы разделить её на части деревянными или пластиковыми полосками, наклеив их друг против друга с двух сторон стекла герметиком или ПВА, можно использовать жидкие гвозди.

You can have several artificial windows in the place of one glass. And the old interior doors take on a new look, changing the usual picture.

Glass painting technology

Paints on glass are:

• acrylic - paint on glass.
• acrylic polyurethane-painting glass and ceramics.
• polyurethane water enamels on glass and drawing pictures on mirrors.
• industrial enamels - on glass with forced drying at a temperature of 150 gr. WITH.

There are good options for how to update the old interior doors so much so that it would be cheap and look for a million $):

• Before work we degrease the glass with an ammonia-based agent and rinse with warm water. It is better to use a microfiber cloth for wiping.
• We prepare the paint, we select shades by tinting, the base polyurethane enamel is stable and can be stored for several months.
• Before applying, we introduce a hardener and a promoter into the collated solution.
• hardener - 10% per 100 g. Collimated mortar. All intensively mixed. at 1000–1500 rpm
• promoter - 3% per 100 g. The collated solution, while working the enamel should be filtered, it is best to use a 50–150 micron filter.

The thickening time of the finished mixture is 2–3 h at 20–28 degrees with an increase in temperature, the mixture hardens faster. When thickened, the mass can be diluted 3–8% by adding pure water.

Следующий этап нанесение трафарета на old interior doors:

• Take a sheet of paper (you can roll) the remaining wallpaper and paste the two side adhesive tape
• Draw stencil outlines
• Cut out
• Remove the protective film and glue on the door.

Стараемся так приклеить, чтобы не было складок и трафарет плотно прилегал к поверхности. В качестве кисточки используем губку если есть ручной распылитель, то ещё лучше. Фон вы можете подобрать самостоятельно, и сделать update interior doors.

About paint (technical specifications)

Here we give way to white color explain.

When adding a color scheme, white paint can be turned into any color and shade, it is not necessary to buy paints of different colors separately, especially as white paint will always come in handy in the house later (see Painting interior doors).

Acrylic paint:

• Dry residual weight is 30-38% by weight.
• Paint density from the manufacturer in tare (sp. Weight) -1.14–1.18 kg / liter.
• Material consumption -80-100 ml / m ?. depending on the thickness of the applied layer varies
• Diluted with Water.
• Hazard Class -No.

Attention! You should always buy paint, with a reserve and one batch, if you didn’t have enough, look at the cans for an article and buy the same one (batches may be different and the paint may differ in tone).
