How much bigger should the door cover be than the door? What are the requirements for the size of the door cover?

We all know that during the decoration process, the installation of doors is also very particular. Generally, door covers are installed when installing doors, which can make them look more beautiful and protect the wall. The size of the door cover is very particular, so how much higher should the door cover be than the door? Let's take a closer look!

How much higher should the door frame be than the door?

Take the custom-made set doors as an example. They are almost all installed according to unified standards. After the door set is installed, the door is installed on the door frame after adding hinges. The distance from the top of the door to the top panel door frame is about 2-3MM. Relative to the bottom of the door, it is higher than the top. Generally, the bottom of the door is 7-8MM from the floor or tile floor.

In order to prevent the ground and floors from being uneven, the factory standard for the upper and lower door gaps is generally about 10MM. As long as it is a set door, the upper, lower, left and right gaps are generally at a unified height reserved by the manufacturer. You just need to leave them during installation.

When to install the door cover

1. In home decoration, when should the door frame be installed? Usually, the putty base is prepared, and then the base cement paint is rolled on before the door frame is installed. If the door frame in the kitchen and bathroom is an inner cover, you need to install the door and door frame first, and then paste the wall tiles. If it is an outer cover, the wall tiles should be laid first, and then the door and door frame should be installed.

2. Of course, there are different choices for different situations, but in most cases, the door is completed at a later stage, that is, after the foundation work is completed, after the wallpaper and floor are installed, the door is installed later. This is conducive to the repair and completion of the baseboard or door frame, and the door frame is of course installed uniformly at this time. When you buy a door, the door frame is included, but some places in the room do not have doors, so you need to install a door frame separately. Some door frames are large and even more expensive than the door.

Of course, different situations have different choices, but in most cases, the door is completed in the later stage, that is, after the basic project is completed, the wallpaper is installed, the floor is installed, and a door is installed, which is conducive to the repair and integrity of the footsteps or door frame lines. The door frame is of course installed uniformly. Buying a door includes a door frame, but some places in the bedroom are not comfortable with the door, and the door frame needs to be installed separately. Some door frames are large and even more expensive than the door.

3. There are objective reasons for installing the door cover after tiling and putting on the putty. First, if the door and door cover are installed first, it will be detrimental to the construction and protection of the finished product. Second, if the height of the ground is not determined before, the door cannot be installed. The door cover determines the height of the door, so of course it cannot be installed. Therefore, before installing the door cover, you must first measure the distance between the doors and plan with the manufacturer of the customized door cover to facilitate the door after the door cover is installed.

How to match door frame and door

With the advancement of technology, the continuous updating of materials and the diversification of aesthetics, many decoration customers are now more advanced in their awareness. Some customers like one color, which makes the overall feeling coordinated and better matched with furniture.

Some customers pursue richer colors, and the matching of doors and frames is not limited to one color. This is more personalized and the matching effect is more fashionable. For example, the door frame is white, the door leaf is gray, the wardrobe body is dark, and the door panel or sliding door is light-colored. Most of those who pursue this kind of effect are young people.

The final choice is closely related to the psychological pursuit of each customer. It is recommended that you make your own decision for your own house. As long as the overall style matches, make a brave choice, because: you may not only decorate this house in your lifetime, so you can do as you please this time.
