Hi,
I've got a few door ways that are quite deep. One example is :-
Room A
12.5mm Plasterboard
25mm Batten
25mm Celotex
225mm Brick
25mm Cavity
100mm Stud
25mm Celotex
12.5mm Plasterboard
Room B
NOTE: The build up is odd, as it's a complicated junction that's having to take into account some external walls that need insulating.
So, in total we are spanning through about 425mm. The door will open into Room A. As such, I would expect it to be hinged inside Room A.
I have two options (I think).
A. Line these doorways with some cosmetic sheet material that I can painted later to make it "look like" it's a solid deep timber door lining (perhaps 12mm ply). Screw a normal door liner to this and hang the door of the liner.
B. Line these doorways with something more substantial, so, perhaps Moisture Check MDF or Ply 18mm or 25mm, then hand the doors directly off these. Of course, I would treat the ends appropriately, so when I added the architrave the exposed edge (5mm) does not fur up.
We are basically trying to get the fancy effect you get in older houses, where you have really deep door linings in solid timber.
Please note, all the doors I will be fitting are reclaimed pine and in the size range of 900w by 2100 high, so I'm going to have to rip down and make door linings anyway. So, I'm not going to be able to use off-the-shelf stuff.
Thanks in Advance.
