First, change the door
The security doors on the market are not all dark red, and there are many doors of other colors. Changing a beautiful door can naturally add a lot of color to the room. But before changing doors, let me say two things:
1. There are many ways to make the door look good, and the cost of changing the door is the highest. So if you are going to change the door, I hope the reason is not just for looking good-if the original security door is of poor quality, it is necessary to change it.
2. Changing the door will cause some damage to the interior wall, so changing the door must cooperate with the hard decoration construction (first changing the door and then the wall construction). If you have checked in, it is recommended not to touch the security door again.
Second, painting.
Spray paint directly on the inside of the door, spray any color you want, and change it into whatever you want. Painting will only change the appearance of the inside of the door, and will not affect the performance of the door.
The painting steps are as follows:
1. Choose the right color paint-again, it is oily paint, not the kind of latex paint used to paint walls. Oily paint has stronger adhesion and longer service life. The biggest disadvantage is pollution, but the area of the door is very small and the consumption is not large, so don't worry too much about pollution.
2. Wrap the edges of the lock and security door with newspaper to prevent pollution when painting.
3. Polishing the original paint with sandpaper can enhance the adhesion of the paint surface. As for the degree of polishing, it depends on your patience-it is best to polish until you see the metal color of the door. If it's too much trouble, polish off a layer of paint on the surface.
4. Paint, spray several times. Spray a thin layer at a time, and then spray another layer after drying. Doing so can prevent the paint surface from being polluted before drying to the greatest extent, and it is less likely to produce color difference and dead angle.
Third, stickers
There are PVC stickers on the internet, which are specially used to beautify the security door. It is very convenient to tear one sticker at a time. There are all kinds of colors, solid colors, wood grains and metal patterns. Post whatever you want.
However, this kind of sticker also has high requirements for doors: it must be a flat security door. If there are uneven shapes on the security door, this sticker will not work. The sticker is flat after being pasted, and the bottom of the sticker in the shape is empty. Because the PVC sticker is thin, the sticker in the hollow part will easily have holes.
Fourth, felt.
Felt is actually a kind of sticker, but its material is no longer PVC, so we take it out separately. The texture of the felt is the same, a little similar to that of a hard carpet, furry but stiff. There are relatively few colors, such as black, gray, milky white and so on.
Felt has two advantages:
The first is the requirement for the door. Relatively speaking, because the felt is thick, even if there is a concave shape on the security door, the felt is not easy to be damaged. But if the shape of the security door is protruding, it will not work, which will make the whole felt look uneven.
Secondly, the felt itself can be used as a sound insulation material and attached to the door to enhance the heat insulation and sound insulation ability of the door.
Changing the door is the most direct way to change the ugly security door, but the cost of changing the door is relatively high. For those old houses whose decoration budget is limited or who have lived for a long time, changing the door is not the best way. Just like the painting, stickers and felt mentioned above, they are all very good methods, which can not only enhance the value of the original security door, but also save you a lot of money.
