Don’t be confused about door frames and door frames anymore! The designer is here to give you popular science, and you will have a clear idea after reading it.

Many people who are renovating for the first time are extremely confused about whether they need to install door frames. However, I found that many friends do not know the difference between door frames and door frames, and they often confuse them. So before we start talking about door traps, let’s do a little popular science first.

Door frames and door frames

There is an essential difference between the two. One is more decorative and the other is more practical.

1. What is a door cover

Door cover refers to the decorative shape around the door. Its main function is to decorate the door and door frame.

Specific functions:

Protect the wall, to prevent scratches, corrosion, etc. Used for transition and closing between different materials. It can correct the slight tilt of the wall and make it appear square visually. Improve the appearance of the door and beautify the space.

2. What is a door frame

Door frame is also called door jamb, which refers to the frame fixed on the left, right and top of the door opening.

Specific functions:

Fix the door leaf and support the normal opening and closing of the door leaf. Modify the door opening and integrate it with the door and door cover.

I believe everyone has a basic understanding of them. Let’s talk about them. Set of designs.

Install the door cover

For those who want to install door frames, we will teach you how to choose a door frame that is suitable for your home.

1. 45° splicing or 90° splicing

I-shaped is simple and right-angled is high-end, so how to choose?

① 45° splicing

Cut the door frames on both sides at a 45-degree angle, and then join them together to form a right angle.

Advantages: The construction is simple and convenient, and does not require advanced technical skills.

Disadvantage: The gap will easily become larger over time, and dust will easily accumulate.

② 90°. Splicing

No need to cut too much, just put them together directly, the overall construction speed is faster

Advantages: There are no gaps and no dust will be hidden, and the overall appearance is better.

Disadvantages: The structure is not as strong as the right-angle type, and it will be easily deformed later if the master\’s skills are not up to standard.

In general, I-shaped door frames are more practical and beautiful, and are suitable for modern, simple, Nordic and other styles. If you are more concerned about cost performance, it is recommended to choose the right-angle type.

2. Single package or double package

① Single package

Literally, one side of the door is wrapped , the other side does not do it.

Applicable: entrance doors, balconies, bay windows, etc. only need to modify one side area.

②Double package

Double-wrapped door covers are wrapped on the front and rear sides of the door, which looks more integrated.

Applicable to: Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other areas that require hemming on both sides.

In addition, the price of a single pack is about half lower than the price of a double pack. It depends on the material and brand. You can choose Choose according to your needs and budget.

3. Door cover material

Commonly used materials can be roughly divided into two categories: wood and metal.

① Wooden material

Common wooden door cover materials include: density board and solid wood composite board.

Density board:

Advantages: affordable, smooth and beautiful surface

Disadvantages: poor environmental protection, poor moisture resistance, poor nail holding power, and easy loosening of screws.

Solid wood composite board:

Advantages: environmentally friendly, moisture-proof, soundproof and not easy to deform.

Disadvantage: relatively expensive

So budget. If sufficient, solid wood composite is preferred.

② Metal material

Can be used in kitchens and bathroomsAluminum alloy door covers commonly used in living rooms.

It can also be a pass with only door covers.

After talking about installing door covers, let’s talk about not installing doors What situations can the cover be used for?

Do not install door pockets

After all, the main function of door frames is as decoration. If we want to control costs under these circumstances, we don\’t need to install them.

1. Invisible door

Feimojia has made many invisible doors. Usually the door cover is not installed on the outward side. When designing, attention should be paid to controlling the size of the door gap to make it invisible.

It is recommended to use inner door covers, otherwise the effect will be easily deformed over time. Generally speaking, wainscoting and wood veneer panels are more effective.

2. The materials are the same

If the materials on both sides of the wall are the same and there is no need to close the opening and install the interior door, the door cover does not need to be installed.

In general, in addition to preventing bumps on the wall, door covers also have Decorative. For example, when the wall is dull, door frames with lines can enrich the visual effect. When the style is single, door frames made of metal can add diversity to the space. Therefore, door frames must be installed!
