Changing Your Bedroom Doors | This article will help all those people who prefer making their furniture at home with the help of carpenters. I assume, that we are planning to change all the bedroom doors of your home. First of all decide how many doors you wish to purchase and then make a list of all the things your carpenter will require. Lets just talk about the requirements of one bedroom door. You can then simply multiply the number of things required. You will need a wooden door of thickness 1.25 or 1.5 inch. The wooden door could be of pine wood, a block of plywood, etc. Doors usually come in sizes of 2.5 feet x 7 feet or 3 feet x 7 feet. First check what size you need and then note down your requirement.
You have the option of putting laminate sheets also called as mica sheets on both sides of your door. These days, there are a variety of laminates available which can help you complete your work very easily. Laminates which look like wood look best. Though you also get colorful laminates with red, blue, yellow, green etc., these will look nice only in children's rooms. Purchase two laminate sheets, slightly bigger than your door size, if you plan to go with this option. You will require synthetic resin adhesive (at least 1-2 pounds for one door) for sticking the laminate sheets. If you plan to go with veneer, select the wood type you want for your veneer. Available ones include oak, teak, bamboo, rosewood, mahogany, etc. Choose what suits your taste. You will need two veneer sheets slightly bigger than your door size. Choose a natural polish for your veneer. There are different types of polishing stuff available. Go with the one that is water-proof and is long lasting. Three coats of polish will be required.
Choose three 4-inch brass hinges with bigger gauges so that they hold your door properly. Buy a good quality locking system, preferably of brass. If you require an additional bolt with latch, get the same too. Now, that you have all the right things, just watch your carpenter do the magic of putting the door together.
