I have moved the opening for my airing cupboard door from one side of the cupboard to the other. Instead of having a full-sized door I now have a doorway about 1.1m high by 65cm wide, thereabouts, into my bathroom.
I was planning to build my own airing cupboard door, as premade doors and cupboard doors don't come in the size I require.
I was thinking I would use pine board, the stuff that comes in large areas about half an inch thick. I was planning on glueing two sheets together, screws from the back side of it to give some extra support. Then cut the inch-thick pine to size. Finishing the door with a satin varnish.
The reasoning I have behind the double thickness instead of just finding inch-thick pine is that this would hopefully stop it from warping in the hot humid environment of a bathroom and airing cupboard.
Does this sound OK? The only alternatives I can think of are:
1) Make a hollow door by taking two sheets of thin wood separated by a wooden structure
2) Contract a chippy to custom make me one.
