How to Case and Base a room
Choosing these combination will seem like a no brainer, but fact is few of us tend to know the general rules of the right combo’s that will bring the professional finish carpentry results. Every milled type of moulding’s come with 3 basic dimensions, the thickness of, the width of and of course the length of material needed to complete a room and it’s trim moulding.
A prime example of coordinating a door’s casing and the floor base moulding is we never what the base moulding’s thickness profile to protrude past the door [or cased opening] casing. A 1/2″x 2-1/2″ x 8′ door casing moulding, the first dimension being the thickness, this measurement is from where it sits flat on the door jamb and how far it’s thickest point will come away from the wall or into the room. Where a flooring base moulding thickness being generally the same, should not protrude away from the wall and into the room past the door casing. Rule of metrics here would be to select a baseboard thickness to IE., 3/8″ thick so after the installing of your finish carpentry trim moulding, the baseboard is allowed a place to end and set behind 1/8″ the vertical casing door jamb leg. Now on occasion a plinth block may be incorporated to cancel out this general finish carpentry rule. And that my friends will be for another whole other blog post.
interior sliding door
Sliding doors have been used since the first century in Roman houses, which were discovered in Pompeii, Italy by Archaeologists. A interior sliding door is a type of door which opens horizontally by sliding. There are many types of sliding doors. Sliding doors are commonly used for shower doors, glass doors and wardrobe doors. Enough of the word “Doors” already. Let’s talk about a wardrobe fixer-upper. Sliding Doors have multiple uses. My sliding door for my closet, is a mirrored door which I can use for checking out my outfit, doing my hair, applying makeup, etc. Anything you would use a normal mirror for. Another use for my mirror is for hiding all my dirty clothes so my room gets the impression as “clean”. On my mirrored closet sliding door, It has a gold frame finish. On the inside, my dad put shelfs and racks to keep it more organized. Which is a good cheap renovation (He just told me it only cost about 50$).
In my opinion, A sliding glass door is much better than a cheap curtain on your shower or bath. A curtain can get stained and dirty, which means it needs to be washed (unless you like dirty shower curtains, which is fine by me..i guess). So think about investing in a Sliding Glass Door for your bathroom. Or, for your entrance to your backyard/patio. If the Romans did it, so can you. GOOD LUCK!
Interior Sliding door (pocket door)
One of the most common ways to create space is to install a interior sliding door or pocket door. This very popular interior door type allows every bit of privacy with no restraints or limits per the swing factor. The conventional swinging door always needs the space behind itself when opened, to have clearance in the room it opens into. But an interior sliding door alleviates this restriction because it will slide into the actual wall that it’s installed.
Any door made can be used in this application, and we have found in many cases, the interior sliding door is just the answer to many design issues.
Every home improvement center carries the in wall frames as well as most of your applicable hardware to be used. The frame goes in line with the wall to become part of the wall and and pocket for the door to hide open into. When choosing the width size keep in mind the doors width requires the equal amount of free space to enable it’s performance.
