The selection and installation of platbands is a very responsible task. After all, it is the platbands that is the visible part of the door frame. They are created in order to hide the cracks between the wall and the door box, as well as to give the design of a aesthetic species. They should be selected for your interior as carefully as the door itself. Most often platbands make several shades darker than the door. Choosing platbands is from the same material as the door itself. Platbands can be sold both with a door box, and separately. Many manufacturers offer prefabricated door boxes, which provide special grooves for platbands, which greatly simplifies the process of installing them. Ideally, the installation of platbands and the door frame should be entrusted to the master. Otherwise, you will need to spend a certain amount of effort and time studying the installation technology. Before installing the platbands, you need to determine their required length. Then, using a hacksaw or a special saw, you need to cut a platband at an angle of 45 degrees. Then you need to drill holes under the nails. The diameter of the holes should be approximately 1.5 mm. After that, the platband should be fixed to the finish nails. Some platbands with special grooves are attached to “liquid nails” or special glue. When installing the platbands, make sure that the doors (interior or input) open freely. This is a very common mistake. The platband should be mounted as far as possible from the door leaf. Some platbands are attached to their installation instructions. We advise you to carefully read it before the installation of the platbands, since there are various non -standard methods of fastening. Keep in mind that the door box, and most importantly, the platbands are installed after the wall decoration is completely completed.
