Door upholstery with MDF panels is one of the most practical methods of front finishing. It is not always possible to upholster a door with dermantine or vinyl leather, since many people have pets at home that can damage the soft material with their paws, claws or teeth. In this case, finishing the surface with an MDF panel is the most reliable and durable way to decorate the door.

Finishing an interior door with eco-veneer
Eco-veneer interior doors represent a new generation of door designs. You can understand what eco-veneer is and why it is called that by learning the manufacturing technology of this material. The basis here is made of wood chip materials, which are held together by polypropylene. That is why eco-veneer perfectly replicates the structure of natural veneer, but compares favorably with it in price. In addition to the cost, eco-veneer doors have a number of other advantages:
- Ecological cleanliness
- Moisture resistance
- High wear resistance
- Sun resistance
- Natural look
- Color retention
It really is possible to install high-quality eco-veneer interior doors inexpensively. The cost of a structure without glass with installation by specialists will be about 4,800 rubles.
Replacing MDF panels
If your iron door had old upholstery or any other lining, we can replace the old upholstery with new one. Replacing an MDF panel on a metal door occurs in exactly the same way, with the only exception that you first need to remove the old upholstery.
Dismantling is carried out in approximately the same way as installation, only in the reverse order - it is most convenient when the door is removed from its hinges and lying horizontally. The next preparatory stage is the removal of all decorative elements, such as handles, locks, peepholes. Next, the coating itself is removed (the process may be different, depending on what you had), and work is carried out to prepare the door for a new coating (degreasing the surface, treating with products).
We strongly do not recommend removing the old coating yourself. Our craftsmen replace MDF panels on a turnkey basis, remove the door themselves if necessary, and remove the old coating. If you do it yourself, there is a risk of damaging the door, and this will result in additional repair costs.
Coloring
Painted doors installed indoors look no less modern. A high-quality door base and inexpensive enamel coating make it possible to purchase a stylish design that can transform your home space. The paint used to decorate products is of the following types:
- Nitro paint - durable and strong, but toxic while it dries
- Alkyd enamel - has a low cost, excellent performance characteristics, but the smell after painting lasts for several days
- Acrylic paint - provides the optimal combination of quality and harmlessness, but requires the application of acrylic varnish for additional strength of the enamel, is the most expensive option
The finished structure, covered with enamel, together with installation will cost 5,500 rubles. The color scheme may vary.
Belongs to the category of natural finishing materials. Thin sheets of wood, called veneer, are glued to the frame. This finishing of interior doors can compete with wooden structures, however, the price of a veneered product will be significantly lower. Their advantages include:
- Moisture and heat resistance
- Environmental friendliness
- Richness of color and texture
- Increased wear resistance
The cost of the simplest veneered product with installation will be approximately 7,000 rubles.
If you ask yourself what is better, eco-veneer or natural veneer, then at a price one and a half times lower, artificial turf shows the same technological and aesthetic properties as natural veneer.
Benefits of overlays
There are at least several reasons why you need to install an MDF trim on your front door.
Decorative effect - a door with an overlay looks more interesting and beautiful. You can choose the color and style of the lining to match the interior, and the metal door will blend harmoniously with the apartment. There are also MDF panels with a mirror, which is very useful in the hallway. We also install such panels.
Heat and sound insulation - MDF linings increase the insulation of your apartment. The overlays themselves do not have such a strong effect as deliberate door insulation, however, they make their contribution.
Protection from vandals and animals - eats linings, which are called “anti-vandal”. We install them too. This panel is an excellent solution if, for example, you have a cat at home. Plus, they will protect the thin metal of the door from impacts and damage.
Finishing an interior door with laminate
Finishing interior doors with laminate is the most affordable option while maintaining high aesthetic properties. Laminate for finishing doors is a paper-laminated film that is glued to the surface. Despite the affordable cost, laminated products show the following functional advantages:
- Mechanical resistance
- Easy to care for
- Effective and natural appearance
However, such products transmit noise well, have low wear resistance, and the film can sometimes begin to peel off.
The cost of an interior door with installation starts from 3,500 rubles. The final price depends on the model and complexity of the work.
Turnkey installation!
All work carried out by our craftsmen is carried out on a turnkey basis. This means that we will take measurements ourselves, advise you about the panels and help you choose, and we will bring the panel to the site. Next, we ourselves will dismantle the old panels, install new ones, as well as finish the doorway (extensions, trim).
After our work, your front door will look much more interesting! In addition, we can also immediately carry out repair work on the door or locks, and your door will be like new!
Required materials and tools
Door upholstery with MDF panels is performed using the following materials and tools:
- MDF overlays;
- building level;
- roulette;
- screws;
- self-tapping screws;
- screwdriver;
- glue.
The facing of the door leaf is carried out using the technology described above. After installing the handles and locks, check their serviceability and then fix the structure. After this, all fasteners must be carefully checked and adjusted.
Features of use
The oven is easy to use. To warm up the product you need to do the following:
- Load pallets into wood stove. Gas and electric models are connected to the gas pipeline and the electrical network, respectively.
- Dry the heating element after idle time in an electric oven. Other types can be enabled immediately.
- Select the desired program mode.
- Preheat the chimney for 6-7 minutes.
- Check the thermostat indicators. The temperature is maintained automatically in most modern models.
If the oven is used for cooking, you need to open the lid and place sheets of kitchen utensils into the oven. After finishing, the device turns off. It should not be kept in working condition for more than an hour.
Wood interior door trim
It is the most expensive type of door, but lovers of absolute environmental friendliness will cast their vote only in their favor. It is more difficult to care for such doors, because wood is afraid of moisture, however, among the advantages are:
- Strength
- Environmental friendliness
- Excellent sound and heat insulation
- Aesthetics
Wooden doors
The cost of a wooden structure with installation can cost 5,000 rubles if you purchase the cheapest pine product. The upper limit of cost depends on the value of the breed and can amount to several tens of thousands of rubles.
Installation of a slope using liquid nails and foam
If the width of the slope does not exceed 20-25 cm, the laminated panel can be installed using liquid nails and polyurethane foam. The method requires a minimum of time, and the result is good.
Preparing the slope elements
Laminate door slopes consist of three parts: two side parts and one top part. If the slopes are made at an angle, then one edge of the sidewalls will be beveled.
This is what the “pattern” for a slope made of MDF or laminated chipboard looks like:
Measure the distances from the door jamb to the corner in several places, cut the strip to the required width and height. The cut out sides should be a couple of centimeters higher than the required length - just in case they missed the dimensions. You can cut it off, but you can’t build it up.
You try on the sides, insert the top. If the edge is flush with the main wall, and the gaps near the door frame are minimal, everything is done correctly. If there are mistakes, we correct them.
After cutting off the parts, try them on on the spot.
Then the outer edge of the chipboard or MDF is trimmed - a trim film is glued on: you do not nail the platbands to the very edge, so that some part will be visible. That's why it needs to be decorated. You can do without trimming if you trim the edge with a matching decorative corner. But it is made of plastic, and how good it will look is a question.
It is easy to apply the trim film. It is on an adhesive basis. Only the edge should be smooth and clean - free of dust and dirt. Glue the trim strip evenly onto it, then take a dry cotton fabric that does not fade, and iron the end through it with an iron (at medium power). Then it sticks tightly, but all the irregularities are visible, so saw off evenly.
If you can choose a plastic corner to match, it looks good, and there is less work: it is glued with liquid nails or silicone
If a telescopic platband is used at the final stage of finishing the slope, a groove is made under it using a milling cutter in the laminated end. The width is exactly for the tenon of the platband, the depth is a little more than required so that it “fits” well. For a regular MDF platband you don’t need anything. It simply sticks onto liquid nails.
Installation of slopes
Having completed all the preparations, we begin to install slopes made of MDF (laminated chipboard). The end facing the door is coated with liquid nails. It is better to take a transparent composition - it will not be visible. The jamb to which the MDF is glued is degreased. Having pressed the sidewall, it is placed in the desired position, checking the verticality and maintaining the same indentation. Then peel it off and wait until the glue dries a little. After 5-7 minutes, the fragment is installed in place, checking the position relative to the walls.
The second side panel is installed in the same way, and then the upper part. The top expands additionally: spacer wedges are installed above the place where it joins the sidewalls. This will prevent the trim from bending and additionally “pinches” the sidewalls.
Having installed all parts of the MDF slope, place wedges at the top
Fixation
After the wedges are inserted, check whether everything is aligned correctly and evenly. If everything is fine, take the foam and place “patches” in the gap between the panel and the wall - apply a small amount of foam in islands. They should be full depth, but not wide. There is no need to fill the entire volume: a lot of foam will be required, and it may bend. Therefore, make islands.
After polymerization of the applied foam, the slope fragments are held rigidly. Now you can start filling the empty space. It is also more convenient to seal it with foam, but not to the full depth, but only in front.
