Master Wanxuan of Chinese Book of Changes Feng Shui: What are the wooden doors to choose for your bedroom?
1. Sound insulation
Indoor door sound insulation is actually a requirement that must be considered when choosing wooden doors, but when buying doors, people often ignore it for various reasons. A good indoor wooden door is not only of good quality, but can also effectively insulate sound. Otherwise, hearing the voices or snores of family members in the master bedroom while living in the second bedroom will not only be embarrassing, but also prevent you from having a good rest! The sound insulation of indoor doors mainly depends on the material of the wooden door. Hollow ones are definitely worse than solid ones, and light ones are generally worse than heavy ones. In addition, the larger the installation gap in the door, the worse the sound insulation effect will be. When purchasing a finished door, you can knock on the door panel with your hand and listen to the sound.
2. Hardware accessories
Hardware is an important factor affecting the service life of wooden doors. Generally, indoor wooden door hardware includes door locks, door hinges, door suckers, dust strips, etc. Among them, hinges are the joints of a door. They must be thick and durable. Heavy doors sometimes require three hinges. Door suction is one of the most vulnerable parts, and both suction power and strength are important. Indoor door locks are actually mainly for decoration, followed by anti-theft. As long as they are easy to open and close and have a beautiful appearance.
3. Pay attention to the opening fee and glass fee
In some homes, when installing doors in the kitchen or bathroom, in order to adjust the lighting, they often make holes and add glass to the solid wood doors. Generally, you go to a store to buy finished doors. If you want to add holes and add glass, you often need to pay extra. You need to negotiate the price with the merchant before purchasing. Generally, each door will cost about 100 yuan. The larger the glass, the more expensive it may be. 4. White wooden doors may cost more
We all know that wooden doors are made of many materials, with various appearances, and even in various colors. Common wooden door colors include amber yellow, mahogany, rosewood, white, etc. Among them, if you choose a white wooden door, the price given by the merchant may be higher than that of wooden doors of other colors. The reason is that the white paint surface has higher requirements than other colors and the cost is higher. Of course, as long as you bargain If you have the ability, you can also cut off these additional charges.
5. Door pocket installation
There are two common ways to install door pockets: 45-degree angle splicing and 90-degree right-angle splicing. In comparison, 45-degree splicing requires higher craftsmanship, takes longer, and is more beautiful. However, because installation takes longer, many wooden door merchants have begun to use 90-degree splicing in order to save labor costs. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you think 90 degrees looks better, this is just a matter of appearance.
6. Door cover price
In most cases, when we purchase indoor wooden doors, we buy them as a complete set, and the price is also calculated as a complete set. The price of a set includes door leaves. , hardware, door covers, labor installation fees, etc. However, in general, in addition to a few doors, a home may also need to include some window covers or openings, and the price of buying these door covers alone is not cheap. The length of a doorway door cover is about 5 meters. The door cover is priced by the meter, ranging from tens to hundreds per meter. Sometimes the door cover may be more expensive than the door. So if it’s not necessary, try not to buy door covers separately!
