builder-grade, hollow-core interior door 3 yards cotton batting of choice (we needed 3 yards) roll of tacking strip upholstery trim spray adhesive chalk yardstick staple gun scissors upholstery tack hammer razorblade paintbrush latex interior paint (to match fabric) hammer and nail (to remove hinge pins) utility knife Remove the door from its hinges by gently tapping on the bottom of the hinge pins with a nail and hammer. Then, remove all the hardware. With your fabric color in mind, paint the door edges a matching shade to create a seamless look. Next, staple the tacking strips onto the middle of the door or as your design dictates. (This will be where the nail-head trim will go later.) Next, flip the fabric face down. Cut it slightly larger than your door dimensions, leaving about 2 inches on each side. Roll out the tacking strip and trim to the exact height of the door. Mist the strip with spray adhesive, then flip over and secure to the fabric edge (Image 1).
Next, line up the strip/fabric along the door knob side of the door (which is most visible) and attach using a staple gun (Image 2). Once the strip is secure all the way down (Image 3), flip the fabric over. Notice how this creates a nice, neat edge and the staples are hidden from view (Image 4). Measure then mark the desired dimensions on the batting. Next, cut batting to size (Image 1). Spray with adhesive and place on the door (Image 2). Staple batting along the edges to secure (Image 3). Pull the fabric taut across the batting, then secure the fabric to the top side of the door with the staple gun (Image 1). Repeat this along the bottom edge and trim fabric as needed (Image 2). Find the opening for the door knob, and staple fabric tightly along the perimeter. Using a utility knife, carefully cut away excess fabric to prepare for hardware re-installation. To attach fabric on the hinged side, pull the fabric across the batting and make a chalk line along the edge (Image 1).
Cut the fabric 1/2" outside the chalk line to allow for some excess material (Image 2). Then, fold the excess under, and neatly staple along the door edge (Image 3, 4). Keep in mind, you’ll want to avoid staples on any areas of the door that will not eventually feature nail-head trim. Use chalk to mark any additional nail-head designs on the door (Image 1). Then, tap the nailheads into place along the door’s perimeter (and anywhere else!) with the tack hammer. Keep the spacing tight to hide any staples (Image 2). Finish by re-attaching the door hardware and placing the door on its hinges (Image 3).If you’re looking for a way to transform the inside of your home, then you might find that replacing your doors can make a significant difference – not only to the way your home looks, but to the way it feels to inhabit, and the amount it costs to run. Select doors that complement your furnishings, and you might find that the change might be just what’s required to elevate your interior to new aesthetic and functional heights.
On this page, you’ll find all of our doors designed to be installed within the home. Though they’re not quite as rugged and weighty as our external doors because they don’t have to weather the elements, they’re just as great to look at. They come in a whole host of different materials, designs, glazing arrangements and finishes. Consequently, you’ll be able to find something to match your tastes – whatever your tastes might be. Andria Oak Door with Raised Mouldings For example, there’s the traditional four and six-panel arrangements, which have been popular in the UK for more than two centuries. Then there’s the more modern ‘Aston’ panel doors, which sees a trio of evenly-spaced vertical panels stretch across the face of the door. If you’d like to break from tradition entirely, on the other hand, then you might consider some of our more forward-thinking designs, which combine all manner of strange and unusual shapes to create doors that are unlike any other – with interlocking semicircles, overlapping squares and offset rectangles all combining to produce results that will get your house guests talking!
Included here are doors made from oak, pine, ash, maple, walnut, beech and walnut. They’re available in a range of different finishes; you’ll find fully finished doors, unfinished ones, and primed ones. That way, if you’re looking for a specific effect, you’ll be able to finish or paint the door yourself and achieve it. You’ll also want to consider the sort of glass you use in your door – if any. Again, you’ll have a wide range of options to consider – for doors bridging different living areas and kitchens, glass can help to create the impression of openness and space. For bathrooms and other areas, frosted glass can allow for light to get in while preserving your privacy! Many of the doors that you’ll find here come complete with engineered components whose role it is to combat the natural warping effect of a solid piece of wood. This way, you’ll be able to install the door without worrying about it changing shape over the years to come, letting in draughts and sticking to the edges of the frame.
Each of the manufacturers we deal with shares our commitment to great design, environmental responsibility and – above all – customer engagement. We know that with so many options available, making a choice that’s right for your home can be difficult. If you’re struggling to sift through the options, then why not get in touch with us? We’ll be happy to clarify any confusion you have about the terminology around doors, and help you to make a decision that’s suitable for your home. Why Are My Internal Doors Sticking?
