When installing door frames, do I need to use wood board as a base? After listening to the master’s introduction, I suddenly realized

When decorating a new house, I chose ready-made doors for all the doors. I just thought it would be a bit troublesome for the carpenter to make them on site, so it would be much more convenient to buy them directly and install them! A few days ago, the manufacturer\’s staff came to install it, but there was a little incident. Because the door opening at home had not been primed with wood boards, when the installer was about to install it directly, our carpenter stopped him!

Seeing the master stop it, the installer explained that he could just use the fixing bolts to drive it into the wall without any need for wood board primer. What the master carpenter means is that although the door frame can indeed be installed on the wall, if the door frame is not the right size, it will become loose during later use. In order to prevent this from happening, the master still insists on laying the foundation.

When I heard this, I was also curious. Is the primer of this layer of wood board so important? Must be beaten? The carpenter turned around and told me about the functions of wood board priming:

The first and most important function is to use wood board as a primer to correct the horizontal and verticality of the door frame if not. After priming, the door cover may sag later, and it will be very troublesome to rework it at that time.

The second function can ensure that the door cover will not deform. Install the door cover after priming the wood board to prevent the door cover from being deformed. The cover is deformed, which is an extra layer of protection.

The last function is to facilitate later construction. In addition to facilitating the installation of door covers, using woodworking boards as primer is also conducive to later painting. Or apply wood veneer, which is much easier to construct.

Now I know the importance of wood board primer, but I feel that the manufacturer It makes sense, but I can\’t decide who to listen to. In the end, I can only ask the project manager!

After listening to the question, the project manager said that the method mentioned by the manufacturer was correct. Use fixing bolts to drive directly into the wall. Its firmness is very reliable. However! What the carpenter said is also very important. According to experience, you must use wood board as a primer before installation.

So in the final analysis, whether it is a door made by hand at the carpentry site or a finished door purchased, this layer of woodworking board must be indispensable before installation. It can be used during decoration. Don\’t miss this step.
