Metal entrance doors made by the hands of hardworking Chinese were firmly settled in apartments and houses of domestic citizens. And it is not surprising, because their price, the relatively good quality of performance and the multipleness of the appearance invariably attracts and manits the people. Unfortunately, such structures have one substantial minus - the lack of a strong-quality layer of the insulation, which is unacceptable in our climatic conditions.
Warm Chinese door
As usual, folk craftsmen were rapidly oriented in the situation, and found ways to insulate the Chinese door canvas to preserve the precious warmth in the house. It turns out that in the presence of a minimum set of fixtures and the skills of treatment with them, from the budget door it is quite possible to make a real wall, which will not pass any draft. It sounds tempting, is it not true?
This article proposes options for how to do with your own hands can be insulated with detachable and all-in-mail inlet canvas from China.
Warming of detachable doors
This type of canvases has an inner trim, which is attached to the core through the screws. There are models in which the inner covering is not at all.
At the initial stage, it is important to choose the right insulation. It is completely incorrect to think that the foam or mineral wool is the most optimal option. It is much more faithful and more profitable to take polystyrene, which initially has a more dense structure.
Next, it is necessary to establish the thickness of the insulation and its area, for which it is necessary to measure the thickness of the canvas, without leaving the trim from both sides. The area is installed elementary: the door height is multiplied by its width. If there is a construction insulation, in which there is no internal skin, the leaf is additionally acquired by a leaf of organic or fiberboard, which then covers the insulation itself.
Once all this is available, you can proceed to the process itself:
- We remove the inner trim or drink a new one from the organic or other material.
- If it is necessary to personally make the inside of the web, you need to carefully check all sizes and prepare holes for the handle, locks, eyes and other items.
- Any metal door has inside the ribs of stiffness, the space between which is filled with insulation, and as close as possible.
- If you stopped on a polystyrene, but bought a plate of greater thickness than you need to fix the case will help hot wires or a long and thin hacksaw.
- The foam or other insulation is not simply cleaned between the ribs, but also additionally fixed with liquid nails.
- We screw the removed over the trim or by mounting a new, made of fiberboard. In the latter case, it is better to use a magnetized screwdriver or a screwdriver with a magnetized bat, which screws up several of the screws on each ribbiness and on all sides of the door sash. If, due to the design features, the ribs of stiffness in them cannot be screwed fastened, you need to additionally mount the corners.
- By the stage of the warming of the door insulation for the winter will be a comprehensive cutting of the lining of the Fiberboard, which is made by a sandpaper or small file.

What to do with a delicate web?
Of course, it would be good if the iron door of Chinese production was initially insulated. Because it makes the final product more expensive, we can take the economy option, and improve it by virtue of your abilities. In the case when the entrance door design has a permanent panel, you need to get ready to change the inner view of the web and make a new lining. But first things first:
- The door completely gets rid of the accessories, located on the inside.
- Additional framework is made, as in the photo. For this, wooden planks are recorded on the entire inner contour of the web, the width of which should be a similar width of the insulation. It will be better if the holes under the self-sufficiency will be prepared in advance in the metal base, and their diameter will be slightly less than the circumferential fasteners themselves. At this stage, it is recommended to fix several transverse speakers, and all the wooden elements should be attached as tightly tightly to the metallic base.
- Self-tapping screws should be screwed up with a deepening in the wood, the location of the fixation should be embedded with a putty on the tree, after which all wooden parts are definitely stained or vague.
- The Chinese door is then filled with the selected insulation, which is desirable not just pressing well and squeeze into a newly created core, but also to fix glue by the type "Dragon".
- All this is covered by a sheet of fiberboard of the desired dimensions, which, again, is attached by self-drawing or even nails to wooden planks.
- The foam rubber is superimposed on top, which stretches high-quality leathesum. The latter is attached by specific cloves with decorative or hidden hats. In more detail, the whole process can be traced on video.
- Since after such insulation of the door canvase, it becomes much wider, it is important to buy appropriate fittings.
At the final stage, it is important to fill the mounting foam all the cavities and gaps found between the box and the wall. After its drying, everything is unnecessary cuts off with an acute stationery knife, and the junction place is closed with a putty or cement.
Alternative methods
If you decide to protect the private house of the Chinese door, try to make sure the tightness of all its seams. Then it will be possible to warm the design by filling the inner cavities with vermiculite or perlit.
