Doors-pencil cases - what's this?
The door-pencil is mounted in the form of a special frame construction.
This design allows you to create a wall pocket or a niche in the partition in which you can hide the door leaf.
For the manufacture of the pencil, U-shaped steel galvanized profiles are used, then these profiles are covered with plasterboard.
This is the first option.
And you can use the finished prefabricated product, such cases are now available for sale by specialized companies.
If the design is made in place, then after making a niche of galvanized profiles, the future pencil case is covered with plasterboard or a gypsum-fiber sheet.
Typically, the thickness of the sheet is 12.5 mm. If it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the structure, the pencil case can be laminated with chipboard or plywood.
Finished pencil cases, sometimes sheathed with steel galvanized sheets, plastered mesh is fixed in these sheets and later, after installing the pencil case, depending on the design of the room, the walls are plastered. it should be noted that the canisters from the manufacturer are thinner than the home-made ones of the order of 4 cm, since special sections are used in the manufacture.
At what time do you install the door-pencil case
The door-pencil case, in case of major repairs, is installed together with the installation of partitions.
This usually happens after the drying of the rough floor and the finish leveling.
In this case, it is necessary to accurately calculate the level of the finishing floor and floor covering.
If there was an error during the installation of the door-box, that is not exactly calculated the height of the finishing floor, with the adjusting screws of the roller mechanism, you can change the door leaf vertically, but not more than 2 cm.
If the error with the door exceeds the height of 2 cm (depending on whether the door was higher or lower), the canvas can be trimmed or sawed, or the canvas can be enlarged with a bar.
The added bar, in the future, it is necessary to bring to the color of the canvas with the help of stain.
Roller mechanism and pencil case
The door-pencil consists mainly of:
-Aluminium rail, which is fixed every 30 cm with screws in the upper bridge of the frame;
-P-shaped stand;
- The lower bracket, which has a guide flag;
-rolling carriage;
-The limiter of the stroke, it can be a simple stopper or catch hook.
What are the advantages of prefabricated canisters
Main advantages:
- door-pencil is thinner;
- There is a powerful lintel with ready-made holes for fastening the guide rail;
- door-pencil cases have special roller mechanisms, in these mechanisms there are adjustments of carriage stoppers;
- A more simple process of hanging the canvas.
how many canvases can be used in the door-cases
A modern manufacturer has produced a door model that has four canvases 700 mm wide.
The canvases move in pairs in opposite directions.
This corresponds to the two-section pencil cases.
Under the order can make a pencil case for four canvases, the width of which reaches 900 mm.
How to make a door-pencil case yourself
The door-pencil case can be made by own hands, at the same time it will be 2-3 times cheaper to purchase a finished pencil case.
The principle of assembly is similar to the installation of plasterboard partitions.
The main thing - to avoid mistakes, if the door-pencil case, mount on the finished wall, then the frame must be assembled from the profile 50x50 mm.
The frame must be fixed to the floor, ceiling and wall.
If your pencil box is a partition, then you need to make a frame of two independent frames.
Please note that the thickness of the fabric should be thinner by 18-22 mm. than the width of the niche.
The depth of the pencil case should correspond to at least half of the canvas, but better with a margin of 40-80 mm.
To strengthen the frame in the pocket area, it is possible to fix the glued bars inside the steel racks.
This way you prevent vibration and hum while moving the door leaf.
If you fix the box to the floor and ceiling with rubber gaskets or a technical plug, you will also lower the noise level.
All the doors that move into the wall are installed by means of a mechanism with a roller suspension.
The roller suspension system is not susceptible to dirt and works for many years, has a low noise level during driving and ease of travel.
Before choosing a mechanism with a roller suspension, determine the weight of the door leaf, since when selecting a roller suspension, the load-carrying capacity is of great importance.
