We do the warmed street doors qualitatively

Street warm doors, it is warm in the room and reducing costs is not heating. Insulated metal doors for the street, this is not just a weatherization of the canvas, but a whole integrated approach.

If you make the warming of the plane and cold air passes through the box, then it simply will not give the desired effect. Today we will tell how the insulation of external doors is done. Now everything is in order.

Insulation of the front door

Insulated outdoor metal doors start with the right installation. It largely determines the quality of work.

Therefore, it is necessary to do everything correctly and not to lose anything. All the work can be completely done by hand, and this will significantly reduce costs and the price of the entire product will be lower.

Box installation

Warm street doors must be properly and firmly in place. In this case, all the cracks should be properly insulated.

So:

• First you need to choose the right door (see. How to choose the entrance metal door to the apartment). When buying, immediately pay attention to the box. She should not be small. The slot along the contour of the box should not exceed a couple of cm. If this size is larger. Then it would be best if you reduce it with plaster;

Caution: When performing this work, do not use only cement mortar. This is done with concrete. Only first you need to drive into the plane the nails that will hold the concrete. And after that already hammer concrete.

• For proper preparation of the plane, it is necessary to treat the surface with antiseptics that are commercially available. They will not allow the fungus to develop. After all, the front door is exposed to high humidity. If there is no fungus, then it is better to do it even for the sake of prevention. It will not be worse for sure. To do this, use the brush;
• Now we wait for complete drying and cover the surface with a primer. This is necessary if you do immediately plastering gaps. Then the solution will hold more tightly;
• Now remove the canvas from the frame and begin to make its installation.

Box installation

Insulated street entrance door can not be without proper installation and insulation of the box.

Attention: For the correct installation of the door, it is necessary to prepare plastic or wooden wedges and adjust only them.

 So:

• We put the box in place of attachment and make adjustments (see How to adjust the front door: we take care of it correctly). For this we use a plumb and construction level. Everything must be done accurately. The door must be strictly perpendicular;
• Immediately should put wedges. Support the box and make adjustments;
• Now we fix. To do this, use dowels. If the distance allows and the gap from the box to the wall is not large, then we drill a hole and mount directly to the box. If the gap is large, then apply a metal corner and mount produced through it;
• After installation we hang the door and try on. It should move without interference. If something interferes with doing adjustment. We achieve high-quality work;
• Remove the door and make the box warming. For this it is best to apply synthetics. It does not shrink and fills the gaps qualitatively. We glue the plane of the wall with glue and place the insulation. After drying, the insulation then does not exactly percolate;

Warning: Now, many are just zapenyvayut lumen. It is of course fast. But the question is that being outside the foam can saturate moisture and just get wet. She will die in the process of time. Therefore, more reliable insulation in this version will be mineral wool.

• After carrying out the insulation of the box, apply a layer of plaster and make the front part;
• Now look at the canvas. Quite often, manufacturers say that the door is insulated. But this is not done. Remove the canvas panel and look. There should be insulation. All joints should be propeny. If not, then fill with insulation. First it is necessary to anoint with glue so that the insulation does not subside. We are waiting for complete drying and fasten the top panel in place;
• We hang a canvas. If there are gaps between the canvas and the box, then we eliminate them with seals.

Attention: After fixing the seal, the door should not be closed by force. Otherwise, after installation, it simply deforms over time. Apply better not foam strips and rubber. They will last much longer.

If you have a canvas made of wood, then you just need to hang it and carry out the insulation on the box. Here is the door and ready. Instruction is and you can get to work.

The video will show the progress of the work, and the photo will not let the details slip. If everything is done correctly, then the house will be warm.
