The door installation process is time consuming and responsible, no matter which door you choose. Many mistakenly think that this is a fairly easy task, but if you do not have the necessary experience and the right tools, then it is better to entrust it to more experienced people. A properly installed bathroom door should be sufficiently airtight, yet allow air to circulate freely between rooms. When completely replacing the door structure, it is better to assemble the box on the floor and install it in the opening. Ready-made designs are available for sale that do not require assembly.

Installation of doors to the bathroom and toilet
The door installation process is time consuming and responsible, no matter which door
you choose. Many mistakenly think that this is a fairly easy task, but if you do not have
the necessary experience and the right tools, then it is better to entrust it to more
experienced people.
A properly installed bathroom door should be sufficiently airtight, yet allow air to
circulate freely between rooms.
When completely replacing the door structure, it is better to assemble the box on the
floor and install it in the opening. Ready-made designs are available for sale that do not
require assembly.
Necessary tools and materials
For high-quality and quick installation of the door, it is necessary to purchase materials
and tools. Prepare them in advance so as not to be distracted by the search.
1. Building level. It is necessary to verify the correct position of the elements.
2. Roulette. The main tool for measuring distances.
3. Drill. With it, holes for fasteners are made.
4. Screwdriver. Serves for tightening fixing parts.
5. A hammer. It will be needed for fastening platbands.
6. Mounting foam. It fills the gaps between the box and the wall.
7. Nails with small caps. Necessary for fastening platbands.
8. Wooden wedges. Used to fix the door frame.
9. Struts. They help to hold the door frame during the drying of the mounting
foam.
10.Dowel. Used to fix self-tapping screws in the wall.
11.Self-tapping screws. Needed to fix the door frame.
Installation process
When performing the installation, you should adhere to the following algorithm of
actions:
We clean the doorway from dust and debris and install the finished box.
We fix the finished structure with special wedges that are inserted between the
wall and the door block.
We check the evenness of the installation using the building level.
After making sure that the installation of the structure is even, we fix it in the
opening with self-tapping screws.
We install the hinges with self-tapping screws.
We hang the door leaf on the hinges.
We put spacers in the box to avoid its deformation.
We fix the box with mounting foam from the inside. It should be borne in mind
that the mounting foam increases during setting, so do not fill the space
completely.
Operation and maintenance of doors
Behind the doors in sanitary facilities, careful and regular maintenance is necessary.
This is due to hygiene and sanitary standards.
If the door to the toilet needs to be washed once a week, then in the bathroom it is
enough to do this procedure once a month. The lower part of the door gets dirty more
often, so when cleaning this area, you should pay more attention.
Plastic, MDF and PVC-coated doors are the most unpretentious in care. They are easily
cleaned with simple detergents, and then wiped with a dry cloth. But solvents, alcohol
and acetone cannot be used to clean such surfaces.
It is easy to remove dirt and stains from the surface of glass doors and elements using
special products for glass without alkalis and abrasives, otherwise the surfaces will be
hopelessly damaged.
Wooden doors are the most difficult to maintain. They need to be wiped with a soft
cloth dipped in an alcohol solution. After that, the door leaf is carefully wiped dry and
covered with a protective compound.
In order for the life of your door to be long, you need to carefully take care of
it: do not allow condensation and moisture to settle on the surface of the leaf,
regularly clean it of dirt and, if necessary, lubricate metal elements. Such
simple manipulations will increase the life of the door and keep its appearance at the
proper level.
The door for the toilet and bathroom should be chosen based on needs and financial
capabilities. Everyone decides which door he likes. The "correct" door will not give you
the trouble of care and will transform the appearance of the plumbing room.
