Installation of doors to the bathroom and toilet - we can do without specialists! Install the door to the bathroom with your own hands How to change the door in the bathroom.

Among the many models interior doors, produced by manufacturers in a wide range, it is not difficult to find an option for the bathroom. You can choose and install a solid wood or MDF door, as well as a laminated, glass or veneered model with a lacquer finish.

When choosing a bathroom door, many buyers assume that the canvas will be exposed to moisture. However, in a well-ventilated bathroom, this problem should not be, so there are no restrictions when choosing door frame and the canvas can not be adhered to.

What exactly should be guided by is the size of the doorway. If the vending door does not fit into the existing opening, then it is expanded. It is not difficult to narrow the doorway to the dimensions of the purchased door. Usually the width of the doors issued for bathrooms is 60 cm.

If ready-made options door panels do not suit the buyer, then you can always order the manufacture of the structure right size and design in workshops specializing in this type of service. If the customer himself is not able to carry out the installation himself, then the masters can do this. At the same time, they do not need to explain to the customer how to install the door to the bathroom so that there are no further problems during the operation of the premises.

If the walls are made of brick, then they first begin to remove the nails connecting the old door frame to the wooden inserts fixed in the interior partition. If this is not done, then a large fragment of plaster may fall off when the structure is pulled out of the opening.

To make it easier to pick up the nails with a nail puller or tongs, it is necessary to cut small indentations in the bar around the hats with a chisel. After removing the nails, one of the vertical bars of the box is sawn in half. This operation facilitates the dismantling of the structure without damaging the plastered walls of the doorway.

The dismantling of the old wooden door frame is carried out with the utmost care, using nail pullers and other auxiliary tools.

When dismantling old metal door frames found in houses with an improved layout, they act according to a different algorithm. First, the pins are cut off, with the help of which the box is attached to the reinforcement in the reinforced concrete wall.

After that, the structure is removed with a small crowbar or nail puller inserted between the box and the concrete opening. In this case, of course, you will have to make considerable physical effort.

How to properly measure a doorway?

To install doors in a bathroom or other room without much hassle, it is necessary to accurately measure the height, width and depth of the doorway. For this:

• dismantle the old door frame;
• cleanse lateral side partition walls to bricks;
• remove construction debris from the floor;
• tape measure the width of the opening between the bricks;
• take into account the thickness of the finish when measuring the depth of the opening;
• determine the height of the door, paying attention to the presence or absence of a threshold;
• lay 15 mm for free placement of the door frame in the opening;
• calculate the dimensions of the canvas, taking into account the indentation from the box, equal to 3-5 mm.

If the bathroom door has already been purchased and its dimensions do not allow installation in an existing doorway, then you will have to expand the space. In this case, they act according to the reverse algorithm, starting with measurements of the door frame.

Standard measurements of the dimensions of the doorway provided for entering the bathroom or other room in the apartment

Preparing the doorway for door installation

After dismantling the old door frame, it is necessary to prepare a concrete or brick opening for installation new design. To do this, align internal surfaces, excess concrete is removed with a perforator. Particular attention at this stage is paid to the alignment of the corners of the opening. According to the standard, the height of all doorways should be 2000 mm, and the width can vary from 600 to 900 mm.

Estimating the dimensions of the box, take into account the width / length of the door leaf, the double thickness of the vertical / horizontal beam, as well as setting the gap and adjusting the position of the door (20-30 mm).

The assembly of the door frame in the bathroom is carried out according to a lightweight version - without sawing the edges of vertical and horizontal bars at 45 degree angles

Required Tools and Consumables

For installation work to install the door frame and attach the door leaf to it with the help of canopies, you will need to stock up on some set of tools:

• drill;
• chisel;
• hacksaw;
• tape measure;
• level;
• screwdriver;
• pencil.

In addition to a set of tools for installing an interior door to the bathroom, you will need dowels, self-tapping screws, wooden wedges, polyurethane foam.

Assembly and installation of the door frame

This stage of installing bathroom doors can be skipped if you purchase a door leaf with a finished (assembled) frame. This option of buying a door will cost more for the consumer, but installation will be simplified and the time required for its implementation will be reduced.

Many apartment owners who started redecorating in the bathroom, they buy a door leaf that matches the design of already installed interior doors, and they assemble the box themselves from pre-purchased bars. In this case, it is necessary to saw off parts of the desired size from the bar and fasten them together with self-tapping screws so that a rectangular frame is obtained. The sides of the box must not be skewed, otherwise the door leaf will fit into it unevenly, forming gaps of uneven size, which, in turn, will lead to difficult opening and closing of the door.

To get perfectly right angles at the door frame, it is necessary to measure the diagonals of the resulting frame when assembling its individual elements. From the school geometry course, it is known that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal. This simple method of obtaining right angles in practice without the use of special measuring instruments has long been used by carpenters, welders and representatives of other technical professions.

Another (more complex) option for connecting the vertical and horizontal bar of the door frame, which requires more skill from the installer

At self assembly the box master manages to very accurately adjust its dimensions to the doorway. After all, individual parts are sawn with a hacksaw until the design fits perfectly into the space allotted for it. Although with an accurate measurement of the size of the opening, you can get the details for the perfect assembly of the door frame the first time.

Of course, you can also remove a few extra millimeters from the door leaf by trimming a little of its side. But this is undesirable, and in some cases it is simply impossible (for example, glass doors). Therefore, experienced craftsmen carefully assemble the door frame.

When fastening the parts of the box laid out on the floor with self-tapping screws, they try to prevent cracking of the wood. To do this, small holes are drilled in one of the parts in the marked places with a wood drill, the diameter of which is 2-3 mm. Then insert self-tapping screws into the holes and tighten the parts together.

There are other ways to connect individual parts of the door frame:

• gluing, while special grooves are cut at the ends of the bars;
• use of perforated metal corners produced specifically for this purpose.

The assembled box is inserted into the prepared opening, using dowel-nails with plastic spacers for fastening to brick or concrete, which increase the connection density by several times. But this is done after the hinges are cut in and the position of the box and the canvas is adjusted.

Door leaf installation

After the assembly of the door frame is completed, they proceed to the next stage, during which the door itself or the door leaf is installed. The door is attached to the box using detachable hinges, which are:

• the left;
• right;
• universal.

Two hinges are usually installed on interior doors: above and below at a distance of 200 mm from the corresponding borders of the door leaf. First, the hinges are applied to the end of the door, circled with a simple pencil or marker. With a chisel, a layer of wood is selected, the thickness of which depends on the thickness of the hinge plate. At the same time, they do not go beyond the drawn contours of the seat.

Then the door leaf is placed in a box and the places where the metal hinges are attached are marked. According to the intended contour, wood is also excavated to accommodate the loop. Then the hinges are screwed to the box and the door leaf, adjusting their position empirically. After that, it remains only to put the loops on top of each other, and the canvas hangs freely on the box, easily opening and closing. The doors that come with the box already have holes for the hinges, so you don’t have to work with a chisel.

The contour of the seat for the detachable hinge is marked at the stage of fitting the door leaf to the frame, after which the part is fixed with self-tapping screws

Step-by-step installation of the door structure in the opening

We adhere to the following order:

• Install finished box into the doorway, leveling its position with the help of a building level and wooden wedges.
• Drill 3-4 holes on each side of the box, mark their projections on the walls.
• Remove the box in order to make holes in the partition with a concrete drill in the marked places.
• Insert the dowels into the drilled recesses.
• Put the door frame in place, securing its position with self-tapping screws, which are screwed with a screwdriver into the dowel seals installed in the walls. Instead of dowel-nails, you can use hangers for metal profiles to fasten the box, which are used when installing drywall.
• Foam the free space formed between the elements of the box and the walls of the doorway with mounting foam, moving from the bottom up.

Tip - dose the foam supply in such a way that the filler increasing in volume does not go beyond the opening. After half an hour, cut off the excess of hardened foam with a clerical knife.

Installation of the door frame in the opening is carried out using a plumb line, which regulates the vertical position of the structure and its temporary fixation with wedges

Finishing the doorway with platbands

The doorway on both sides along the perimeter is decorated with platbands, which cover the junction of the box with the wall. Before that, the wedges used to align the position of the box are sawn off, and the mounting foam is also cut off if it has not been done before.

Filling the space with industrial mounting foam, which does not increase much in volume when dried. This is important as the foam can push the box out and move it out of position.

When exposing the platband, make sure that it does not touch the hinges on the hinge side, for which they maintain an indent equal to 3-4 mm. The platband installed on the lock side must have a gap with the door leaf, otherwise it will prevent its free opening. There are two ways to attach trim to the box and wall, based on use:

• liquid nails (gluing);
• finishing nails (nailing decorative details to the bars of the box).

Sometimes these methods are combined, which makes it possible to better fix the platbands on uneven walls, as well as to eliminate the small gaps that form in this case between two non-contacting surfaces. In platbands made of MDF, holes are drilled with a thin drill for finishing nails. Otherwise, they can not be hammered into this durable material.

Experienced craftsmen advise starting the installation of platbands with the top element, cut off at both ends at an angle of 45 degrees. After that, it is more convenient to alternately expose vertical platbands, lowering their lower edges to the floor level.

The installation of additional trims and decorative trims allows you to beautifully decorate the doorway with the inserted frame, hiding all the subtleties of installation

Dobory: what is it and how are they installed?

Dobors are called special strips that are used when finishing wide doorways that do not close completely with a box. Most often, you have to use extensions when installing doors to the bathroom, separated from the rest of the premises by an internal main wall.

Additional panels or strips are available in different sizes and color solutions, which allows you to choose the right decorative element under any opening.

Previously, this issue was resolved by plastering the surface of the opening with further painting or wallpapering. Dobors not only facilitated the process of finishing doorways, but also increased the attractiveness of the interior of the apartment at times.

Additional strips are attached to the walls with the help of self-tapping screws, screwed into holes made with a special tool. The space formed when leveling the position of the additional slats between them and the wall is filled with spot mounting foam.

Installation of a door threshold to the bathroom is necessary, since this room should have a lower floor location in case of emergency flooding of the bathroom

Finishing touches - setting the threshold

The door frame in the opening leading to the bathroom must be mounted with a threshold (bottom bar). This is a mandatory requirement for bathrooms and balconies. It is better to install the remaining interior doors without thresholds so as not to create unnecessary interference when moving from one room to another.

When installing such doors, a temporary bar serves as a threshold, which is removed after the door installation process is completed. But this does not apply to the door to the bathroom.

As you can see, installing a bathroom door has many nuances, without knowing which, you can spoil the product or make its operation unbearable. Creaking doors, self-closing, wedged, ill-fitting...

The list of defects associated with incorrect installation can be extended. Therefore, it is still necessary for people who are confident in their abilities to install the door on their own. If there is even the slightest doubt about the success of the upcoming installation, then it is better not to start work, but to entrust them to professionals.

And the toilet requires special care and responsibility. There are two main rules that should be considered before you begin to decide on the installation of a door in the bathroom. First, at the bottom, between the floor and the door to the bathroom, there must be a gap for sufficient ventilation. Secondly, in these premises it is necessary to equip the threshold, which would prevent the outflow of water in the event of a flood.

Doors in the bathroom should have a gap for ventilation of the room.

Door selection

First you need to decide on the choice of the door to the bathroom and toilet. To do this, measure the width and height of the door frame. The height of all interior doors is standard - 2050 mm, and the width is as follows: 600 mm, 700 mm, 800 mm or 900 mm.

Door material plays an important role:

• glass;
• plastic with a moisture-proof film;
• wood coated with varnish or paint;
• chipboard and MDF laminated on top.

Glass is resistant to deformation, moisture and high temperature, it is an environmentally friendly material that does not transmit sound and retains heat.

Glass is the most suitable material for a bathroom door. This material is resistant to deformation, water and high temperature. In addition, glass is an environmentally friendly material, does not transmit sound and retains heat well in the room.

Glass for doors can be frosted, tinted, embossed, mirrored, decorated with plastic or metal inserts. Glass doors have gained great popularity due not only to their excellent characteristics, but also to their fashionable design.

PVC doors are not exposed to chemical attack, fire, deformation under the influence of high temperatures, and are also well resistant to high humidity. Plastic retains heat well and has excellent sound insulation. PVC doors are quite diverse in shape and color scheme. Special surface coatings imitate various materials: wood, marble, glass. In terms of its merits, plastic is slightly inferior to glass, and low price makes them accessible to a wide range of consumers.

Wooden doors are the most expensive and reliable option. But this classic design absorbs water very easily, which is not suitable for a bathroom.

Chipboard and MDF doors are the most popular option for modern renovations. These structures withstand high humidity well, do not deform and have a low cost. But for the bathroom, it is still better to choose plastic or glass doors.

If the door to the bathroom is located close to the doors of the kitchen or another room, then it is better to install sliding doors. Such a design will be convenient to use and interesting.

To install doors, you need tools and materials such as:

• perforator;
• screwdriver;
• hacksaw;
• miter box;
• chisel;
• building level;
• mounting knife;
• pen drill;
• self-tapping screws;
• mounting foam;
• colored and transparent silicone;
• wooden and plastic substrates;
• carnations for cash.

Installation

The door installation process consists of the following steps:

1. Box assembly.
2. Installing the box in the doorway.
3. Fixing the door leaf.
4. Foaming the box.
5. Insertion of handles and locks.
6. Platband installation

First you need to assemble the entire structure on a horizontal surface in order to avoid further distortions and irregularities.

The assembly process includes the following steps:

1. Lay out the components of the door frame on the floor.
2. Make the required dimensions of the box in terms of the width and height of the opening.
3. Make a marking under the canopies and fix them. To do this, you need to cut grooves on the box and the door with a chisel.
4. Assemble the box by fastening all the parts with self-tapping screws.
5. Install the box in the doorway. Plastic wedges are used to fix the box in the opening.
6. Check the evenness of the structure using a plumb or level and make adjustments.

When the box is correctly assembled and installed, the main task is completed!

Now you can hang a door on it. Wedges are inserted into the gap between the door and the box so that the box is well wedged from the inside. Now you need to securely fix the box in doorway. To do this, use mounting foam, the cylinder of which is equipped with a gun. This solution will evenly fill all the voids between the surfaces.

Before use, the mounting foam must be put in a warm place for 24 hours, but the mixture should not reach a temperature above 30 ° C. It is advisable to moisten the mating surfaces with water so that the foam grabs well. The adhesive composition is thoroughly shaken in a cylinder and applied to the joints. Glue mix should be blown in a thin layer, as it increases in size when solidified. The treated opening should be left to dry for a day.

The next day, you can safely open the doors and start inserting handles and latches. The process should be done like this:

After installing the door, the handle and lock are installed.

1. Mark the place of the future mechanism.
2. Make the hole using a drill bit of the correct size, usually 16 or 18.
3. To install the lock on the end of the door leaf, use a chisel to make a groove.
4. Drill a hole for the handle on the front side.
5. Insert the handle mechanism with a latch into the holes formed and fix it with self-tapping screws.

Platbands are installed with self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the door frame. All joints are treated with silicone. At the end, the finished structure can be varnished or painted.

Renovating a bathroom requires some skill and skill. After its completion, it is necessary to carry out the final touch - the installation of the doorway. How to install a bathroom door? In order to carry out these works will require a little responsibility and scrupulousness. First you need to leave a gap for ventilation of the room between the flooring and the shower door. Then mount a threshold to prevent water from flowing out, for example, during a flood.

Selection of doors

Initially, you should decide on the theme of the door, its design and structure based on the overall interior of the room. In addition, it is necessary to measure the height and width of the openings in advance, so that when you arrive at a specialized store, you can accurately select the door to the bathroom. Taking into account all the above parameters, you need to choose a product from the following materials.

Glass

It is an environmentally friendly material that is excellent in quality. Such material is resistant to many negative factors, such as temperature changes or high humidity. In addition, the glass does not deform over time, does not transmit noise and retains heat well. It may be different in structure, color, as well as texture or other external features. Glass doors can be installed with your own hands or with the help of specialists.

Caring for such material is very simple, since glass is not afraid of any chemical cleaners, with the exception of compounds with abrasive additives. Today, the modern market offers a wide variety of toilet glasses to choose from, for example:

• matte;
• embossed;
• tinted;
• mirror or simple;
• framed with plastic or metal inserts.

In any case, it will be a fashionable and stylish door with high performance..

Laminated MDF and chipboard

Products made from MDF and chipboard are currently one of the most popular options on our market. These representatives perfectly withstand high humidity, do not deform under loads, and also have an affordable price. Often they are recommended to be installed in the same panel house or other not very large buildings, for example, compartment doors. This option will allow you to functionally use the surrounding space.

Plastic

Correctly installing PVC doors with your own hands is not difficult. This material is resistant to cleaning agents, resistant to thermal effects, not prone to deformation, in addition, it is not afraid of constant contact with moisture. Plastic doors reliably retain heat and have high noise insulation properties. The modern market offers an extensive range of different PVC doors.

They can have different colors, shades, take any shape and size. In addition, if necessary, you can choose special coatings that imitate any materials, such as wood, glass, granite and others.

It should be noted that the qualities PVC products only slightly inferior to a direct competitor - glass. However, they have a significant advantage - this is the price.

Wood

Wooden doors are the most common option, however, not for the bathroom and toilet. They are easy to install with your own hands, but only now their purpose will be completely different. Such material, even when processed with special protective films or means will not be durable. Wood is afraid of constant exposure to high humidity, so its use for a shower room is hardly suitable.

Tools

Naturally, you will need auxiliary tools to install doors with your own hands. Usually there are tools in every house, but taking into account the fact that doorways are being installed, slightly different types of devices are required than when hammering a regular nail or trimming a threshold in a room.

To properly and correctly install the door you will need:

1. screwdriver;
2. self-tapping screws;
3. nails for cash;
4. miter box;
5. hacksaw;
6. perforator;
7. chisel;
8. hacksaw;
9. mounting knife;
10. building level;
11. pen drill;
12. mounting foam;
13. substrates made of wood or plastic;
14. silicone transparent or colored.

Installation

In order to carry out the installation of doorways, it is necessary to initially distribute the installation stages. In addition, you first need to assemble the entire future structure on a horizontal plane in order to avoid bumps and distortions. The first task is to assemble the box itself, i.e. actually the foundation of the future door. After that, the door frame is fixed in the opening between the rooms. The next important step will be fixing or fixing the entire structure with the wall and flooring.

When the doorway is fully fixed and has a stable position, then the job is practically done, small but important touches remain. First you need to take the mounting foam and fill the remaining gaps with it.

This will not only fasten the materials, but also improve the soundproofing properties. bathroom. Then remain decorative works in the form of a tie-in door handles, as well as locks. The final touch will be the installation of platbands. Installation diagram:

1. Lay out all the components on the floor.
2. Measure the required dimensions for the door frame in all respects.
3. Carry out markings for awnings.
4. Fixing canopies with a chisel, cutting grooves on the box and door.
5. Installation of a doorway in a single structure.
6. Fastening the door frame with self-tapping screws.
7. The combination of the doorway with the box.
8. Fixing the structure with plastic pegs.
9. Inspection of the resulting structure for irregularities and inconsistencies.

Video instruction

In general, it does not differ from other rooms. But there are still some nuances, and they need to be taken into account. Flooring should have a gap of several millimeters with the canvas, so as not to interfere with natural air exchange. Be sure to need a threshold, it will protect neighboring rooms from flooding. As a rule, bathroom doors open outward, but if the corridor is too narrow, it is worth opening inwards.

What you need to know for proper installation

Canvas selection

The first step in installing bathroom and toilet doors is choosing a good quality material and a comfortable design. The bathroom is the most humid room in the house, so pay attention to the indicators of moisture resistance and sound insulation.

materials

First of all, decide what your door will be made of. There are several options, depending on cost, design and strength level.

• Polyvinyl chloride. Or easier - plastic. The most affordable option on the market, the interior looks attractive, despite the low cost. Holds its shape well even in direct contact with water, easy to clean.
• Glass. moisture resistant, durable material. Looks presentable, but not suitable for all interiors. Glass breaks easily, but now there are tempered glass options on the market that are resistant to minor impacts.
• Tree. The material is not friendly with moisture and, as a rule, is not suitable for baths and toilets. It can rot, warp and mold. But if the layout is such that water will not get on the canvas, and a powerful one is provided in the bathroom, you can safely consider wooden varieties.
• Chipboard. It looks like wood, but is essentially made from sawdust and wood debris. Lightweight, budget design, it will not live long in a humid room and is not recommended for installation in a bathroom.

Constructions

The second step is design selection. Quantity plays a role here. square meters and your personal preference. The most common are two.

• Sliding and hidden systems. Good for tight spaces because they save space. In terms of strength and sound insulation, they are inferior to classic swing doors.
• Swing systems. The classic version with an opening sash. It takes up extra space when opened, but is more reliable and durable. Definitely need a threshold.

How to install a bathroom door yourself

How to install the door to the bathroom with your own hands? Where to begin? First of all, measure the opening. If you put a swing model, lay down the dimensions for the nut. Usually this role is played by the lower part of the frame. Sometimes there are only three parts in the kit - then the nut should be ordered separately or made by yourself. 5 centimeters are laid on this part and already from this level the height of the opening is measured, taking into account the gap for ventilation. The canvas will be decently higher, about 10 centimeters, compared to everyone else in the apartment.

Please note that it is impossible to shorten models made of plastic and glass - this is relevant if the product is 2 meters high and the opening is smaller.

Box mounting

The goods are selected and delivered - the time of installation of the frame. If the nut is included, great, but if not, you need to cut it yourself. In the case when there is already a difference between the floor in the bathroom and the corridor, you can do without a threshold.

If the frame consists of three elements, then the threshold is usually made: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic and less popular - wooden. Sometimes there are bulk concrete and even copper. Any non-slippery material that gives good strength and moisture resistance and looks attractive can be used.

Frame elements are assembled on the floor, adjusted in size. According to GOST, 3-4 millimeters should be left on the sides, about 20 millimeters between the floor and the canvas. The lower end should be indented from the threshold of 6 millimeters. The place of future loops is calculated by retreating from the top and bottom of the frame by 25 centimeters. In these places, you need to make a selection with a chisel and fasten the loops.

The frame is ready. It is lifted and installed inside the opening. Check that everything is smooth - for this. After everything is adjusted, fasten the frame to the wall with dowels and tuck in the wooden wedges. They are pulled out after the final verification of the dimensions by the level. From the outside, foam is blown into the cracks and everything is left alone for three hours. After that, you will need to fill in the foam from the inside and cover the threshold. After a day, you need to check if the frame is staggering. If yes, then drive in additional anchors.

Installing the canvas

Before hanging, you need to prepare it: insert a lock (usually at a height of 90 cm from the floor), install handles and hinges. Consider if you need a latching mechanism.

The first hole is made for the lock. Nearby I mark a place under the handle. It is usually made flush with the lock groove.

To work, you need a 20 mm feather drill, it is they who make holes for fittings. The lock with the help of self-tapping screws is attached to the end, covered with overlays. They put pens. The product must be attached to the opening and mark the places for the loops. On them, as well as under the lock, holes are hollowed out, inserted and fastened with bolts. Everything is ready for installation.

Fixing platbands

After the wedges are removed, the foam is cut off, the box is securely fixed in the opening, the product with fittings is hung up, it's time to put the trim. This is the final stage of installation. The slats must be of the same material as all other parts. It is necessary to retreat 3 millimeters from the edge of the box so that when opening the platbands do not interfere. At the top, the edges are cut at an angle of 45 degrees. All gaps must be closed with extensions. The platbands are planted on self-tapping screws and the openings between them and the wall are foamed.

Installation of compartment doors

Sliding mechanism - great way save space. If you have a cramped bathroom, these designs are definitely worth a closer look. Complete with the product itself, as a rule, there are all the necessary parts: guides, rollers, fittings, fasteners. If you need a lock - it is ordered additionally - this is another wooden stand where the canvas will go in and snap into place. Hanging a coupe structure is no more difficult than working with a classic mechanism. Follow the sequence of actions.

Step-by-step instruction

• Rollers are installed on top of the canvas, fixed with screws.
• A small incision is made along the bottom edge 1.5 centimeters deep and 3 millimeters wide.
• Measure the height, plan the gap between it and the floor, take into account the presence and size of the rollers from above.
• At the resulting distance from the floor, a guide is attached. You can pre-install a wooden block and fix it on it, or use corner brackets.
• On the side, the rollers are placed on the guide and the product is hung.
• In the final, stabilizing stops are installed. In order to correctly calculate the distance, the product is moved apart to the maximum width and an emphasis is threaded into the groove on the left, securing it with self-tapping screws. After all work, the vertical level should be measured again.

• Due to the high humidity in the bathroom and the constant contact of surfaces with water, the operating rules differ from the usual ones. First of all, it concerns cleaning. The surface is often dirty from the inside - the dirt must be washed off with a soft material moistened with ordinary will. Do not use abrasive products to avoid damaging the material.
• If you have a plastic product, prepare a solution with alcohol or vinegar at the rate of 1/9 (1 part vinegar and 9 parts water) for cleaning.
• Lacquered doors must not be cleaned with solvents.
• Veneer products are cleaned with a wax polish or spray with a similar composition.
• The tree is wiped with water, and then impregnated with a protective agent.
• The glass will shine if you wipe it with vinegar water or window spray.
• It is better to rub the fittings with a dry soft cloth without chemicals.

If the owner's hands grow from the right place, then there are no difficulties with the purchase and installation of a door to the bathroom or toilet. However, when it comes to practice, there are many nuances that are difficult to guess in advance. The first thing to consider when choosing a door is that the door should open comfortably.
For example, if the area allows, it is better that the doors open inward. By doing this, you will reduce the likelihood of hitting household members passing by on the forehead. In general, this issue needs to be approached as efficiently and practically as possible. Well, about the rest of the subtleties and pitfalls, I will try to warn you in this article.

Door materials

Everyone knows that because high level humidity in the bathroom and toilet, the choice of doors for them is somewhat specific, even if your house has good ventilation. In this regard, it is recommended to choose a door that is not afraid of moisture or steam, and at the same time it retains its appearance throughout the entire period of operation.

Frosted glass bathroom door

In addition, doors for bathrooms and toilets must also have fairly good heat and sound insulation. The main materials for these rooms are:

• glass,
• plastic,
• MDF or chipboard,
• tree.

The most, perhaps suitable material for the bathroom and toilet there will be glass, since it is not afraid of either high temperature or deformation and possible destruction under the influence of water. In addition, it is environmentally friendly and hygienic, retains heat well and does not let in sounds. For toilets and bathrooms are made special high-strength glass. because to break their houses, you need to make a lot of effort.

Doors to the bathroom and toilet

Glass doors are in great demand because they have a lot of advantages, including stylish design. The surface itself can be embossed, matte, tinted or covered with a mirror. They are also decorated with inlays various materials, mosaic or beautiful drawings, which makes them the most original, and the room visually increases and becomes lighter.

Glass doors are perfect for home interior, becoming its decoration. But you have to pay for these advantages, and therefore such products have an appropriate price.

A good choice for the bathroom will be plastic doors, which, like glass, is quite light and is not subject to deformation under the influence of moisture and temperature transfer, as well as retain heat well and don't miss the sound. Thanks to special coatings, plastic can imitate almost any material, including wood.

Of course, in terms of aesthetics, a plastic door looks a little worse than its glass and wooden counterparts, but this is easily compensated by the fact that they are inexpensive. which means that any average person can afford them. Plastic products are easy to care for - sometimes they will need to be wiped with a damp cloth, and if there is more severe pollution, then you will need to use detergent.

Wooden doors can be safely called a classic, as they have been used since time immemorial. Yes, it is worth remembering that the tree does not like water and wears out quite quickly under the influence of moisture, but this does not mean that they cannot be used for baths and toilets.

For this wood must be of high quality(often use beech or oak), while properly harvested and dried.

If the doors will be installed for a bathroom or toilet, then in addition they must also be treated with an antiseptic and varnished. It is also desirable that the entrance be located as far as possible from sources of water and steam. As in the first case, the price wooden doors very high, and not everyone will be able to afford them.

If you need bathroom and toilet doors that are not very expensive, then perhaps the most affordable option would be chipboard and MDF with laminate on top. They tolerate moisture well and are varied. As for veneered doors, it is not recommended to install them in a bathroom or toilet, since natural veneer does not withstand humid air.

If you have a bathroom adjacent to the kitchen or another room, and there is not enough space to open two doors, think about installing sliding doors. Their photos can be easily found on the Internet.

Also don't forget that doors for bathrooms and toilets must have an air vent or at least a gap between the door leaf and the floor. In addition to the doors themselves, locking mechanisms and handles must be reliable, since, unlike other products, they will be used more often and, accordingly, are more subject to stress.

How to install doors in the bathroom or bathroom?

In order to protect housing from flooding, a threshold about 5 cm high should be provided at the place where the doors are installed, and the products themselves are installed higher than others by about 10 cm. Often, customers want the doors in the apartment to be of the same type.

Accordingly, standard two-meter products are purchased for living rooms and in the bathroom, although for it the height is usually only 190 cm, that is, 10 cm less. As a result, you have to go to tricks in order to achieve the required normal delivery, and this is either a rework of the product itself, or the dismantling of the opening.

The thickness of the walls of the bathroom and the bathroom is small and often only 4-5 cm, and therefore, when choosing products it is important to choose the right size box. It should be about 1.5 cm thicker than the wall, so that the inner edge of the box is in the same plane as the wall of the toilet or bathroom, tiled. Otherwise, you will have to:

• or thicken the walls,
• or remove extra centimeters from the box.

In the latter case, you are unlikely to be able to paint the saw cut surface with the same quality as the other sides, and the cut line will immediately catch your eye, even if you close it with a casing.

If you have a veneered box, then it is all the more not recommended to cut off extra centimeters from it, since the remaining veneer will begin to flake off after a while. boxes also can be made from softwood and are covered on top with an MDF board and, if you start sawing them, they will simply crumble. In this regard, it is not recommended to experiment with cutting it, and it is better to close up the gaps between the wall and the architraves, for example, with plaster.

In order to avoid these unpleasant moments, it is recommended to take all dimensions in advance, because sometimes the dimensions of the doorways to the bathroom or toilet may differ from others.

But, if you have to shorten the doors, then it should be understood that this operation is real only with wooden products, while do not rush to rejoice - the price for such an alteration will be a spoiled appearance and a reduction in the service life. In the case of plastic or glass doors, you will either have to redo the opening or change the purchased product (worse if they were made to order). Therefore, study the option with the alteration of the opening.

If it is large, then you can build a wall with drywall. If, on the contrary, it is very narrow, then it is more likely that you will have to break the wall, which may affect its design as a whole. Therefore, it would be better to shorten the doors if possible.

If the walls of the bathroom or toilet are made of gypsum, then to increase the opening you will need about 10-15 minutes of work with the grinder. This job is very dusty, so eye and respiratory protection is recommended. But it's better to do it yourself than to find out the space price. employees.

Bathroom. Installation of doors to the bathroom and toilet

Sometimes you can hear the opinion that bathroom and toilet doors need some special ones - waterproof, almost plastic doors. Because standard "veneered" doors are poorly adapted to a humid environment. It's a delusion.

If there is a normally working exhaust hood in the bathroom, and the doors are installed correctly, i.e. there is a gap of 1.5-2 cm under the door, then ordinary, standard interior doors can be installed in the bathroom and toilet - from solid wood, MDF, veneered, etc. Of course, they must be of high quality and made competently. So, for example, veneered doors must be covered with a reliable and high-quality varnish.

If the moist air from the bathroom is not removed, and this happens, because. everyone and sundry is destroying our ventilation, then you need to eliminate the cause, i.e. treat the disease, not its symptoms. After all, high humidity in the apartment and in the bathroom is a danger to the health of the inhabitants of the apartment. Such a "trifle" is not as harmless as it might seem at first glance, it can become, for example, the cause of the appearance of fungus, mold. And this should worry the consumer much more than the safety of the veneered coating on the door.

Installing doors in a typical bathroom has a number of features. In panel construction, a sanitary cabin is placed in an apartment as a ready-made single block. However, despite the factory production, its walls can also have a significant slope, reaching 5-7 cm.

Moreover, in gypsum bathrooms, the surface of the walls may not belong to the same plane, i.e. different sections of the walls may have a different slope. Because Since the interior doors to the bathroom and toilet remain closed for the most part, it would be possible to reconcile with the disadvantage that they will spontaneously close and put the doors "on the wall", i.e. with the same slope.

But after all, next to them at right angles to this wall will stand kitchen door Or a door to another room. So, installed vertically, it will only emphasize the slope of the "bathroom" doors and the curvature of the walls (for some reason, these walls are always tilted inwards). Therefore, the walls of the bathroom must be leveled, although this is an extra expense ($ 15-20 / m2), and the loss, albeit small, of usable area is not too spacious bathroom and hallway.

In addition to its own walls, the bathroom also has its own floor with a small threshold (about 5 cm) that protects the apartment from flooding. Therefore, interior doors to the bathroom and toilet have to be placed about 10 cm higher than the rest. As practice shows, most customers try to use doors of the same type for the entire apartment.

And it is not uncommon for the same standard two-meter doors to be bought for the bathroom and toilet, although the opening in a typical sanitary cabin is only suitable for doors 190 cm high. Therefore, quite often it is necessary to adapt the doors or opening to one or another door block.

Self fitting bathroom door

When a bathroom renovation is nearing completion, the question of installing a door becomes an issue. First, of course, it must be selected. There should be no problems with this, because now the choice is so huge that you can afford products of various price categories, and they will all look beautiful. It is only important to understand that the impression of the entire repair largely depends on the quality of the door. Therefore, they play the role of a kind of final accent in interior design.

Photo and video materials on the Web allow you to make a choice of the most elite door panels. And it doesn't have to be oak. It can be mahogany, larch, ash, maple, beech, walnut and cherry. In this case, the door frame must be made of a similar material. And when the model is selected, it remains only to install.

This procedure is on the shoulder even for an inexperienced person, you just need to follow simple recommendations. After all, this work, like many, has its own nuances, which will have to be taken into account. In many ways, this applies to the ideally vertical position of the door frame, as well as the horizontal position of the bottom and top of the door frame. After all, the possibility of the full functioning of the structure depends on this.

Photo glass doors in the bathroom and toilet

A novice master can simply insert a box into a doorway, but this is associated with certain risks. For example, a gap may appear or the box, on the contrary, will jam. All problems can be fixed. If the design does not fit in the box, then you should not pick up a planer and try to squeeze it in.

It must be remembered that if the door and the frame were a single structure before installation, and after installation difficulties began, then there are problems with the correct installation. Therefore, you should follow certain rules or seek help from specialists. We will consider the option of how to do everything yourself.

Installation

Installing bathroom doors is not particularly different from installing other interior doors.

• fittings,
• roulette,
• fastener,
• box and door leaf,
• tools: screwdrivers (screwdriver), electric jigsaw, puncher, grinder, impact drill and others.

Even before ordering, you should compare the dimensions of the opening with the manufacturer's standards, since the doors of such rooms may be unnecessarily narrow. You also need to make sure that the ventilation is effective. If there is high humidity in the room, there is mold or fungus, then you will need waterproof products. You can even choose plastic ones.

It is also necessary to check the verticality of the walls that are adjacent to the door in the bathroom. It often happens that they have an inclination inward, which causes spontaneous closure. If this does not suit you, then the walls will have to be leveled with plaster or drywall. This can be seen in photos and videos on the web.

It should be noted that the bathroom is always equipped with a small threshold to prevent flooding of other rooms. That is why the installation is carried out somewhere a few centimeters higher than in other rooms. If a standard door is required, it can be shortened.

Photo of doors to the bathroom and toilet from MDF with a glass insert

To shorten the structure, you need to saw off the lower connecting bar, and then remove the excess honeycomb filling. After that, the bar can be glued back, fit the box. However, one must take into account the fact that after such manipulations the entire door system is weakened.

You should also consider the thickness of the walls when choosing a door. It is often up to 5 cm plus the thickness of the finishing material. If the box is chosen incorrectly, you can cut off the excess from it.

Of course, you should try to avoid any adjustment processes, since this is fraught not only with a visual deterioration in the quality of the structure, but also with a decrease in its service life. It is better to try to go the other way. For example, increase the thickness of the walls.

If the threshold affected the fact that the door turned out to be large, but it is impossible to shorten it, you can increase the doorway. You need to draw a line along which to saw off the desired part. A steel strip passes through the upper part of the opening, so any manipulation can cause the structure to weaken, and this is fraught with cracks and other inconveniences in the bathroom.

When installing a door in the bathroom, problems and nuances may arise

1. In old panel houses the same type of sanitary cabins were installed, the height of the opening in which is 190 or 200 cm. There are now plenty of models of various sizes, and you can easily find the right height. But with the thickness of the cabin wall and the door itself, everything is more difficult. The wall there is much thinner than the rest of the partitions in the apartment - about 4-5 cm. And the door standards are adjusted to fit the interior openings. Therefore, you need to choose their minimum thickness and think in advance how best to mask the gap between the casing and the wall (you can apply a layer of gypsum or use drywall).
2. The threshold to the bathroom is an indispensable and necessary component of any doorway to this room. Its task is to prevent water from flowing out of the room in case of emergency pipe bursts. It must be left, and where it does not exist, it must be restored.
3. Ventilation. When arranging the door to the bathroom, it is necessary to provide additional ventilation holes in the doorway. They can be done at the bottom of the canvas and closed with a decorative ventilation grill. Or leave a gap of 1-1.5 cm between the threshold and the door leaf.
4. A big problem with many cabins is the slight slope of the walls, which seems to be invisible. But when installing new door it will be necessary to level it, and all these flaws of the Soviet builders will become noticeable. Here you will have to be smart and, with very noticeable slopes, somehow decorate these places.

The process of installing a door to the bathroom and toilet with your own hands

To work, you will need a drill with a screwdriver, a chisel and a hacksaw for wood, as well as a building level with a tape measure. And as Supplies- self-tapping screws and carnations to match the color of the door, mounting foam and wooden wedges. If there is no experience, it is worth watching a video of the entire process, performed by the hands of experienced craftsmen.

Preparing the opening is an important step when installing a bathroom door.

1. Opening preparation. Old doors are removed and any irregularities on the walls are leveled so that there are no ugly bevels during the installation of the platbands.
2. Assembly of the door frame. It is best to do it on a level floor. Parts of the box are cut to fit the size of the doorway and fastened with self-tapping screws, the holes for which are best drilled, otherwise the jamb and the canvas may crack at the places where they are screwed in.
3. Installation of the box in the opening and its alignment. To do this, you need a level and wooden or plastic wedges. They need to be placed near the places where the box mounts will be screwed. This will not only allow alignment, but also protect the box from deflection when pulling it against the wall.
4. Fixing the box with screws or anchors. There are several on each side.
5. Filling the space between the wall and the box with mounting foam. At this stage, the canvas is again inserted into the door block. When dry, the foam will increase in volume by three to four times. Therefore, only a third of the void should be foamed, the rest of the space will fill itself. Foaming is done from the bottom up. It will take about a day for complete hardening, during which time the door cannot be touched and opened.
6. Loop cut. After a day, the canvas is removed, and a loop is applied to its end, which is circled with a pencil. And then a recess is cut out along these contours with a chisel. From the top of the loop, they are located 15-20 centimeters, and from the bottom - 20-25. After screwing the loops with screws to the canvas, it is substituted for the box. And they are already fastened on the jamb, where it is also necessary to cut recesses.
7. Insert handle with lock. As a rule, these are fittings in the form of a lever or a ball. There are practically no differences in installation. And if you watch a video with the installation of one option, then you can install the second one without any problems.
8. Platband fastening with self-tapping screws or decorative carnations.

Installing doors in the bathroom - the main steps

The time when the internal doors were the same in almost all ordinary apartments has already irrevocably passed. We can say that today the manufacturer pleases us with the proposed variety of models. This also applies to the door to the bathroom, which is subject to a number of more stringent requirements, which are due high humidity in this room.

Choosing bathroom doors

Bathroom doors must be resistant to high temperatures and humidity, they must withstand even direct steam on their surface, while no deformation of the leaf should occur.

Scheme of assembling an interior door

Therefore, special attention must be paid to the choice of material from which the door will be made, as well as the method of protecting it from such influences:

• TO budget option include frame doors, the basis of which is made of cheap types of wood. The surface is covered with more expensive finishing material- it can be laminated fiberboard or plywood, MDF.
• More expensive types include veneered bathroom doors, which must be coated with moisture-resistant varnish if this was not done in the factory. True, such situations are extremely rare, the main thing is to pay attention to the operating conditions recommended by the manufacturer.

Veneered bathroom doors

• The door unit for the bathroom made of solid wood is considered a classic, the choice of door models is quite wide.

When choosing such a door leaf, you should take care of the treatment with moisture-proof compounds to prevent the possibility of deformation.

• Recently, more and more often they began to use PVC or metal-plastic profile doors for installation in sanitary facilities.
• The luxury class includes bathroom and toilet doors made of glass. These doors are different. unusual design and will look good in any interior.

A few features of installing doors to the bathroom

Exists whole line technical issues that combine the installation of various doors to the bathroom. All of them are connected precisely with the features of the operation of such premises.

Unlike other interior doors, bathroom doors are installed with a full frame that has a threshold. This, together with lowering the level of the floor in the room, prevents water from spilling throughout the apartment in case of emergency.

To ensure ventilation, the bathroom door should be installed using an increased gap between the threshold and the door leaf, it can reach 8-10 mm.

We will analyze the installation features of the most popular frame and wooden doors.

Preparing for installation

There are several ways to install doors, we would recommend mounting a prepared (hung) door block, it is more difficult to insert hinges onto a mounted frame. It is best to choose door models in which the canvas is already hung and a lock is embedded, but such products are much more expensive.

First of all, we assemble the door frame (loot). We connect the elements using self-tapping screws, the places where they are screwed in must be drilled with a drill of a smaller diameter, otherwise the material may crack, this is especially dangerous for MDF boxes.

The internal size of the box must take into account the appropriate gaps to allow the canvas to close freely.

The next step, which includes installing the door to the bathroom, inserting the hinges and the lock. It is carried out using a milling cutter and chisels. The distance from the edge of the canvas to the top loop should be 150 mm, the bottom - 200 mm. The hinges must be cut flush with the surface of the box and canvas.

The insertion of the lock must be carried out according to the instructions attached to the product. This process is quite difficult, it is better to entrust it to a specialist. After that, the door leaf is hung.

Door block installation

It is best to perform this process with an assistant, but with a certain skill, you can install the door yourself. We prepare the doorway, clean it from the remnants of plaster, debris.

Photo of the doors to the bathroom and toilet during installation

It would be best if the dimensions of the opening slightly exceed the size of the door block, this is necessary to adjust its position in various planes. We insert the block together with the hinged door into the opening, while opening the door, this will increase the stability of the block. We check the horizontalness of the threshold, align it with substrates if necessary.

Installation of doors in the bathroom begins with fixing the hinged side of the block. The door is usually mounted flush with the lining of the corridor, while possible slopes are formed inside the bathroom. We adjust the verticality of the block installation in both planes, fix it in the required position.

This can be done by installing several substrates under the edge of the open door leaf, and in the opening at the attachment points there should be special gaskets that prevent the block from moving in it. Fastening is carried out using self-tapping screws, anchors, dowels - the choice depends on the weight of the door and the material of the wall. After that, we fix the feigned side of the door block.

Given that the door leaf may not be perfectly flat, it is best to expose this side of the block along the porch. To do this, close the door and achieve a snug fit of the canvas to the box. In this position, we fasten. For quality door with this method of installation, all levels will also be observed.

We blow out the slots in the opening with mounting foam, not forgetting to install several spacers in the block (through gaskets so as not to damage the surface), this will save it from deformation. After hardening, the foam is cut off and the platbands are installed.

How to install a bathroom door

Before you install a bathroom door, there are a few things you need to know. The room is constantly exposed to changes in temperature and humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously approach the choice of a door for this room. It must be resistant to water vapor and at the same time retain its color, geometry and structure for as long as possible.

To install the doors, you will need standard fittings. It does not require special processing. But handles, latches and latches should be looked after.

The technology for installing doors to the bathroom should take into account the dampness of this kind of room. Such a door differs from the interior door by an increased gap between it and the floor. This is required to install more ventilation for an often damp room. It also differs in the height of the threshold under the door.

Installing a lock on a bathroom door

Of the materials you will need a box, doors, anchor bolts, wooden wedges, mounting foam and self-tapping screws. During repair work the opening leading to the bathroom must be waterproofed.

To do this, use a diffusion waterproofing tape with a self-adhesive backing. It is placed around the perimeter of the entire opening, as well as on the box. Of course, the surface must first be cleaned of dirt and dust deposits. And well primed.

Box mounting: features

An ordinary bathroom door differs from the standard one in width by about 10 cm. Therefore, before buying a door, you should carefully measure and record them in a notebook. It is great if the frame and door leaf purchased in the store are the right size and ready for installation. It is enough to screw in the screws. In this case, no adjustment is required. The door is easily installed in its place.

To facilitate your work, you should assemble the design of the box and the door separately. All components, including doors, are laid out on the floor. Next, the box is collected around the door itself. Holes are drilled under the fasteners, everything is marked out, cut - in general, the box is thoroughly prepared for installation.

Otherwise, you will have to collect the loot - the door frame and the door itself. To do this, you need to do several sequential processes.

We make a threshold in front of the door in the bathroom

1. Cut the box posts to a length of 2005 mm. There is a reason for this. The usual height of a bathroom door is 2000 mm. For gaps located above and below between the canvas itself and the box, you will need to use the remaining 5 mm.
2. The next step is to trim the bottom and top of the loot. Their size includes 600 mm, 5 mm allocated for gaps, and double the thickness of the profile of the box itself. The usual door width in a standard bathroom is 600 mm, but if it is larger, then depending on the situation, we use from 700 to 1000 mm.
3. The horizontal part of the box is processed. At the same time, a protruding piece of the profile is removed from its both ends. This is not just done. Remove it for the most part. For this, a cut is made using a jigsaw. After that, the unnecessary part is chipped off. For this, a chisel is driven from the end.

Collecting the door frame: the nuances

First of all, canopies (door hinges) crash. They are installed on the right or left rack, depending on how the door opens. They cut in from above and below from the edge at a distance of 200-250 mm. For this, a canopy is applied, outlined with a pencil and processed with a chisel. The groove for canopies is easier to make using a milling manual machine if it is available.

Assembling the bathroom door frame

Next, the actual assembly of the box is carried out. On the floor, one long rack is connected to a short jumper. Next, 2 holes are drilled on the side of the rack. Self-tapping screws are screwed into them. They connect 2 parts of the box. Do the same with its remaining 3 corners. Lutka is ready. In the bathroom, it is much easier to install a door without installing a lower threshold.

How to install the door leaf?

The preparation of the door leaf itself consists in inserting hinges, latches and installing handles. Non-cut hinges are installed similarly to their installation on the door frame. To mount the latch, you will need to drill deep hole with a diameter of 25 mm from the bottom at a height of 850-900 mm. For this, a drill and a feather drill are used. Scheme of assembling a door leaf from two wings.

After that, holes are made for the handle. They are drilled through the canvas opposite the hole in the end. It is performed using a pen drill with a diameter of 20 mm. The main thing is not to spoil the door during the exit of the pen from the door. Best Option- drill the door on both sides.

Next, the latch is installed. Previously, before this chisel, a groove is inserted under the decorative overlay. In this case, the size is determined with a pencil in place. Attach the latch from the end. For this purpose, 2 small self-tapping screws, twisted with a screwdriver, are suitable. To install the handles, you will need to insert a square and fix it with a screw. Further, the desired latch hole is threaded into it, and the handle is attached to the canvas. After checking its work, the same is done with the second handle.

In the opening leading to the room, mount the box. To do this, a rail or profile is stuffed. They are placed at the top and bottom of the box itself, so that they go beyond the size of the loot by 10-15 cm. Nails are hammered with future overlap with their platbands. The profile will play the role of an emphasis. Next, the box is placed in the opening. In this case, the jumpers already determine the plane relative to the tile. The level defines the horizon.

You can insert a pre-measured box into the opening and jam it with wedges made of wood or plastic. At the end of the horizontal and vertical check with a plumb line and a level, the box itself is fixed with dowels (bolts) that run flush into the material itself. The wedged box is marked with anchors at the fixing points and drilled. Holes in the doorway are made in this way: they are marked through the box, which is removed, and drilled with a drill. Insert dowels. They mount the box and fix it, cut the hinges and hang the doors.

The door frame is foamed, filling the gap between it and the opening. This is done according to the instructions using a construction gun. Sometimes the foam squeezes the box and interferes with the installation of the canvas. To avoid this, install 3 or more spacers. Their size is larger than the canvas size by 5 mm.

Photo of doors to the bathroom and toilet

The foam dries in 6-24 hours. After that, the door is installed using canopies. Pay attention to the gaps under and above the canvas. As you know, installing bathroom doors is not as difficult as it seems, if you act carefully and prudently.
