After completing all the processes, I decided to share not only experience, but also my information about the advantages of MDF for the arch between rooms and doors as a facing.

Prepare the place of work
Finishing doors MDF.
If you decide to bind the door leaf with your own hands, then you should stock up the minimum list of tools:
- MDF panels - it is better to take a material with a slight margin, especially if the work is held for the first time
- Platbands, rake and corner

If the door is installed for the first time, fill all the slots by mounting foam and cut it after complete drying. Then, with the help of primer, improve the adhesion of the future layer of plaster and foam. It is necessary to stucify using metal profiles that play the role of lighthouses. After complete drying, a layer of primer is applied again.
The next door is happening. Planks are hampered on it - they will serve as the basis for fixing the MDF panels. Location should be around the door perimeter
Important! If your standard size canvas, then you will need about 10 meters.
When the frame is ready to mount the panels - it is necessary to pick up the screws that do not try to break through. Use the stouch for cutting panels at the right angle. All joints are masked by decorative straps and corners.
Important! Replacing the spoiled panel on the door is by dismantling it. And then it all depends on the way of fastening. If you decorated the canvas with your own hands, then the replacement will be simple. But if specialists were performed, the high-quality replacement can be performed only by their hands.

Arch and her facing
MDF door panel
More recently, the arches in my house were unpleasurable and long lost their appearance, as they were placed with wallpaper, which were slightly fused. Deciding to correct this incident, I began to look for the necessary materials and my gaze stopped on the MDF panels. Such a solution was caused not only by the excellent properties of material strength, but also extensive ideas in terms of design. Many manufacturers offered the most incredible color solutions and geometric shapes, with which the arch can be separated.
In addition to huge similarities with natural wood, the panels can be several types:
- Laminated - due to the upper coating, both the strength of the product and its similarity with natural material increases
- Veneered - with the press plate connected with a small layer of wood and in the future is covered with varnish. It is because of this that the value of the veneered material is higher, because thanks to this manufacturing process, it becomes more durable and resistant to damage
If you decide to design the arch with the help of these panels, then you need to know what should be protected from point shocks. Although the panels are less durable than natural wood, with a small arc pavement can maintain its appearance for 5-7 years. Although, as one of my acquaintance said, after a while she will still be unlocked under the influence of sunlight. But most likely you will think about updating cosmetic repairs in the rooms where the arches will be available. Remember that the facing of the panels cannot be made at a strong opening of the opening, since the material does not have such flexibility. The installation of the elements should occur in two ways: or you will stick it with an adhesive solution, or install the cable device using the device. You need to think about the second version in advance, since the mounting of the frame will steal some centimeters, at the height and width of the passage between the rooms.
