How can I replace my doors without rebuilding?
A door replacement without rebuilding is easy to do. When fitting a rebated door, for example, we install the rebated door in the existing rebate frame. For all other doors (pivot doors, hinged doors and sliding doors) do require adjustments, unless you have already taken into account an aluminium door in advance.
Modern aluminium overlay doors are custom-made and therefore often fit directly into existing window frames or openings. This gives you a completely new look in your home, without having to demolish walls or modify structures.
When is replacement of doors possible without rebuilding?
It is possible to replace an upright door without major remodelling. If the existing frame is intact, a new aluminium overlay door is often fitted directly into it. pivot doors and sliding doors cannot be installed in an existing frame, requiring more substantial work.
As Aluwdoors only provides customised solutions, every door is made to exact dimensions. Even if your current door deviates somewhat from standard sizes and shapes, we will ensure that the new door fits perfectly. This gives your interior a beautiful addition.
Measuring and fitting the new door
For a new door without remodelling, it is very important to get the measurements exactly right. This starts with measuring the width and height of the opening at several points, so that small discrepancies in the wall become visible. That way, we can take them into account.
The finished floor height and any skirting boards should also be taken into account, as this will directly affect the connection of the door. Even the ceiling finish plays a role in higher steel doors or walls.
Because made-to-measure work is millimetre work, it is wise to leave the measuring to our experts. That way you can be sure the door will fit perfectly.
Different door types for replacement without conversion
Replacing a door does not always have to involve chopping and breaking. Our extras make aluminium doors even more child-friendly. Think of a soft-close system, a well-placed door stop or a damper on the floor that prevents the door from closing too hard.
In addition, choose handles that are comfortable to hold and have no sharp corners. This way, you create a door that is safe to use, even in a family environment.
Aluminium overlay doors are made to measure and therefore often fit into existing openings or frames. Depending on your space and requirements, there are different types of doors that you can have fitted without any remodelling.
Aluminium pivot doors
Pivot doors pivot on special hinges embedded in the floor and ceiling. This makes them ideal for existing passages without frames or when you want a tighter look.
Hinged doors in existing frames
A hinged door cannot be installed in an existing frame because it always requires proper preparations to the frame. Adjustments to the frame are often needed to make the door fit properly. With this work, you still get a neat finish that suits the room.
Sliding doors
Sliding doors are a practical solution in small spaces. The rail of such doors is placed on the wall or in a niche. Adjustments are always needed to the floor or ceiling, such as installing fasteners. This does save space.
Installation process without conversion
Installing a new overlay door without rebuilding is often easier than you think. It is important that the door is removed before we start work, so that the new door is fitted correctly.
The door is then installed in its entirety. Because everything has already been precisely measured by our experts, the door fits properly right away. Would you like to do the measuring yourself? You can, but for a good result it is advisable to leave the entire process to our expertsThen the door is adjusted so that it turns or slides smoothly. You can start using it right away.
