Sustainable solutions for everyday wear and tear

For any DIY enthusiast, there is nothing more rewarding than restoring something that has been worn down by the ravages of time. That is exactly what John has accomplished with his latest project: the repair and renovation of a front door frame. This project is not only a showcase of craftsmanship, but it also highlights the importance of sustainability in home repairs.

The challenge: a worn-out front door frame

The photos show a worn front door frame with visible wood damage. The bottom of the frame has suffered from weather influences and is partly rotten.

The solution: customization and quality materials

John chose TOSIZE.dk to have Okoumé Water-resistant B/BB 15 mm plywood cut to size. This created a perfectly fitting new section for the front door frame, precisely tailored to the project specifications. With the right measurements and choice of materials, John ensured that the renovation is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also long-lasting.

A step-by-step transformation

The repair began with the careful removal of the damaged wood. A new, custom-cut panel of smooth, waterproof plywood was then installed. The subtle colour nuances in the light grey plywood give the frame a timeless and sleek look that seamlessly matches the modern blue front door.

Optimal fit in the hall

The renovated front door frame is a perfect addition to the home’s hallway. The project is located in a space where durability and resistance to the elements are essential, and it provides a clean, welcoming entrance to the home.

Making it yourself has its advantages

Repairing and renovating a window frame yourself means having complete control over the dimensions and materials, and this was no different. John chose materials that fit within his budget and delivered a quality end result, without compromising on style or durability.

The style of the project

The project exudes a minimalist and timeless elegance, thanks to the sleek design and the choice of high-quality plywood with a natural look.

The advantage of Multiplex Okoumé Waterproof

The Okoumé Water-resistant B/BB 15 mm plywood is the ideal choice for this type of project. This material is not only aesthetically versatile, but also offers resistance to moisture and thus ensures a long life, which is essential for a front door frame.
