Atrium French Door Screen – A screen door is a superb way to not just allow some fresh air and sun into your house, but also to keep insects and other pests outside in the exact same time. By employing a screen door, you have the ability to keep your house enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you only need to allow just a little bit of atmosphere in. Even though you can buy display doors for your house, they are in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few supplies and tools, using simple building methods. Screen doors can be very simple in design, or could be more elaborate, depending upon your needs and building skills.

Supplies You Will Need, You will require some thin wood stock to use for your display door construction, a hardware frame for the doorway itself, and display meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding.

Pick a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you need to construct, and cut on the horizontal and vertical pieces to fit. While building the doorway, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a table. To produce the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will need to take off half the depth of one piece of timber where they will match a saw, so the general finished thickness of this joint will probably be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Utilize a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support pieces together, then clamp and let it dry thoroughly. Once the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the doorway, and employ a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if desired.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the doorway flat on the work table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of display material to the proper size, leaving several inches around the edges to make setup easier, which is trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the frame, pulling it closely towards the base of the doorway. Be certain that you pull on the display tightly in the horizontal directions as well, keeping in mind that display will elongate over time. The display can be stapled directly to the doorway, as the principles will be dealt with by molding which will be set around the border of this display. After the display was stapled securely into place, trim the display and cover the edges with all the display molding.

Finishing the Job, when the doorway itself was built, you can install the door frame , and also then attach the new screen door to the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door to the frame using spring hinges so the door will shut mechanically.
