Q: When does the door measurement typically take place and how many times is it done? A: Most manufacturers measure the door twice. The first measurement is usually done five to seven days after the renovation begins, once the construction site is set up. The second measurement occurs after the kitchen and bathroom wall tiles are installed, allowing the floor height to be determined. This step involves knowing the thickness of the floor, the level height after leveling, and the height of the floor tiles — essentially establishing the final dimensions. Q: Should the floor be laid before or after the door installation? A: There's a specific construction timeline for doors. It's generally recommended to measure and install the door first. Once the floor is finished and the renovation is complete, the door will be closed, and the construction period will end. This helps avoid damage and unnecessary delays. Q: Should the floor or the door be installed first? A: Both options have their pros and cons, but I personally believe installing the door first is better. If you install the floor first, there are several potential issues: 1. The door is heavy and may damage the floor; workers walking around might scratch it. 2. During door installation, wood dust and glue can make the floor dirty. 3. Without the door in place, it’s harder to install the floor trim properly. Also, if the gap between the door and the floor is too small, it could cause problems. You should inform the installer about the floor thickness so they can adjust accordingly. For solid wood floors, the thickness is usually 4-5 cm, while composite flooring ranges from 0.8-1.5 cm. Adding 6-8 mm on top of that is standard. However, if your floor thickness changes and causes a conflict with the door, it's not the installer’s responsibility, and they cannot control the gap. Q: What conditions are ideal for door installation? A: If the walls are painted, it's best to leave the last coat for later, to prevent the door installation from damaging or soiling the walls. If you're using wallpaper, it's better to install the door before applying the wallpaper. Q: What are the standard gaps between the door and the frame, and between the door and the floor? A: The side gaps should be around 4-5 mm, and the bottom gap should be 6-8 mm. Q: Suppose the floor height in my living room is 1.5 cm higher than in the bedroom. Where should the door be placed — on the living room floor or the bedroom floor? A: It's better to raise the bedroom floor to match the living room’s height. When laying the floor, use a layer of underlayment to ensure it matches the height of the living room tiles. Q: How do you handle uneven ground when installing the door? A: The best solution is to level the area. Alternatively, you can use two layers of underlayment beneath the floor to bring it up to the same height as the tiles. Q: How thick is the underlayment? A: It's typically 5 mm thick, though some types can be up to 8 mm. Q: Should the door be mounted on the floor or the wall? A: Doors can be either attached to the floor or mounted on the wall. Each has its advantages, but the impact isn’t significant in most cases. Q: I think the hinges are very important. Are there any affordable yet high-quality brands? A: It’s better to go for well-known and reliable brands. Quality is more important than price in this case. Q: Is it better to use three hinges for the door? A: Yes, three hinges are recommended for better stability and smoother operation. nightstand,night side table,bedside nightstand,bed side cabinet,bed side table,modern nightstands,nightstand with drawers,round side table Auxford furniture , https://www.auxfurniture.com
