• For restoration products dermatin or vinyl skin It is necessary to use only glue. For this, the edges of the structure are smeared with adhesive and foam bands are attached to them.Extras can be cut with a special knife. Then they glue the butt on the upper part of the door and glue the upholstery from the top. During work, be sure to smooth the fabric to avoid wrinkling.

• To upholster the iron door with decorative panels first you need to measure it. It is important to know the exact dimensions of the canvas and the width of the inner corners, which will subsequently be covered with foam sheet and wooden beam. Then, on the top and bottom of the structure, you need to make a mark on the enclosed bar. With the help of a drill, 16 holes for fastenings are made in the canvas, the diameter of which should be identical to the diameter of the screws. Bars are fixed on the canvas, after which they drill holes for fixing the decorative panel.

The door construction on the apartment side can be made out in different ways. The best option is painting, for which you do not have to remove the canvas from the hinges.Surfaces adjacent to the product must be covered with newspapers so as not to stain them during dyeing. All furniture elements are removed or sealed with tape. Previously, the surface of the door is polished, and then treated with protective impregnation, which will protect the wood from moisture. And after complete drying, the structure is coated with a paint and varnish product in 2-3 layers.

To arrange veneering veneer will have to prepare an iron and paper sheet. Renovation of the canvas begins with removing it from the hinges and making measurements. The veneer strips are superimposed on the surface of the product so that the pattern coincides. Each piece is preferably numbered, so that in the future there is no confusion.

It is better to glue the veneer from the top, gradually going down. To do this, remove the protective paper and stick to the canvas. To get rid of the bubbles and folds that have arisen, a sheet of paper is put on top of the veneered strips and ironed them.

To trim the door outside, it is important to take into account the features of all possible materials. It is important to ensure their strength and durability, so that their properties do not change under the influence of the external environment. Moreover, you need to understand that not every material can be used to process the outer or inner part of the structure.

To personally update the box from the street, you can use:

• Steel sheets. Their structure can be smooth or embossed with an imitation of an interesting pattern. Good sheets of steel will protect the room from penetrating inside drafts, but they must necessarily have a substrate of polymer or cork.
• Viniplast. It may consist of fiberboard or PVC. This material is unstable to sunlight, and therefore it is mandatory to cover it with a special varnish with a UV filter.

• Ship plywood looks like a natural wood. After installation, it is covered with stain and frost-resistant varnish. If you need to change the old plywood, then this process does not take much time and effort.
• Dermatin - a material that is equally well suited for internal and external decoration.It is simple enough to mount it, besides it has various design. And its soft structure can hide sharp corners.
• Artificial stone is produced in thin panels that are fixed to the outer part of the door using construction resin. The construction, lined with stone, looks very impressive.

Independently facing the door in different ways. The most common is wallpapering. For this method, suitable for any type of wallpaper from paper and ending with liquid. Before processing this material it is necessary to prepare the canvas: remove the paint, putty all the defects and polish. With a wallpaper sheet, you can close the entire canvas or just the paneled part by cutting out the parts that fit the size.

The decor can be a fabric, which, thanks to its structure, will make the product unique.But you need to choose the fabric, given the degree of shrinkage. You can use several fabric sheets of different designs. Patchwork technique quite popular among designers: a cloth can be wrapped around the entire canvas or only the central part. Facing of the product can be carried out with unusual carnations, beautiful laces, frames from a baguette.

An unusual method of finishing - mirror acrylic. With the help of mirrors, you can visually increase the space and improve illumination. Since it is not always possible to cut the required part from a mirror by yourself, you can purchase a finished amalgam panel. The easiest option - curly acrylic mirrors. They can be combined into one whole and close the entire canvas or put them in the center, leaving the rest of the space free.

Cashing is an element of decor that completes the design of the entire building.Its purpose is to conceal irregularities after installation of the input structure. It is used to improve sound insulation and reduce thermal conductivity.

The settlement should be in the same style with the house, so when choosing it you need to take into account some rules:

• it must be combined with the walls of the building;
• its performance should be top notch so that, despite the atmospheric effects, its appearance remains unchanged;
• the casing should be such that it does not get lost on the rest of the background;
• Internal cash out can be flat or round, and sometimes threaded.

For the interstitial space, it is better to purchase wooden frames. But they can be replaced with plastic or metal parts. To prevent shrinkage of the structure, an osyosyuka is installed in a wooden house. The ocell can be made in four ways: in the mortgage bar, in the seam monolith, in the spike with a ready slope and in the deck.

Regardless of the type of construction, the doors have standard sizes that have been installed according to GOST:

• The height of the standard opening varies from 2.07 m to 2.37 m. Exact parameters are set taking into account the height of the ceiling and the width of the door.
• The width of the standard construction is 90 cm, but this indicator may vary from the individual parameters of the web.
• But the thickness of the doorway can be anything - it does not set any standards. The thickness of the box is selected taking into account other indicators.
• The dimensions of the doorway do not always meet the standards. In the cottage or private house, they can be any, but within 2 to 2.4 m. It is better not to expand the opening more than these indicators, otherwise it will be very difficult to choose the right door.

Showing imagination and devoting some free time, you can create a work of art. Many ideas decorating the old door are striking in their originality:

• For example, to create the atmosphere of a bohemian celebration, you can use rivets and various beads, which very often lie idle in a box with trifles.
• Decorate products can holes that form unusual patterns.
• Quite unusually, you can make a door frame with buckwheat. This process will take a lot of time, but it will allow to decorate the room.
• In addition to the door itself, you can decorate the space around it. For this you can use bows, artificial flowers, ribbons and laces.

• Unusual sensations will allow you to experience the design, decorated with wreaths, bouquets, glass inserts and other original things. From the entrance to the canvas, you can glue a large horseshoe or an improvised nest.
• A door with painted butterflies, flowers, trees or clouds will look gentle enough. It is not necessary to draw every detail, you can make a picture in the form of abstraction.
• Near the doorway, you can also draw patterns that smoothly flow onto the canvas itself.
