wooden planks;

If natural wood is used, it is pre-treated with antiseptic impregnations to extend its service life.
Homemade extensions made from regular MDF will differ from factory-made ones, since in industrial samples the space between two thin wood-fiber boards is filled with cellular material.
Chipboards are inferior to wood and MDF in azerbaijan mobile database and durability, but chipboard extensions can be used indoors.
Plastic is rarely used as a material for making extensions. And if it is used, then especially strong, metal-reinforced PVC panels are chosen.
The extensions can be made of natural wood, chipboard, MDF panels or plastic.
Installation in a groove
If you plan to use extensions, it is better to buy a door frame with a special groove. The presence of a groove not only speeds up the installation process, but also allows you to push the extension bar into the frame by a few millimeters, which increases the accuracy of installation.
It is assumed that by the time the extensions are installed, the door frame is already fixed in the doorway. Therefore, the distance from the door frame to the edge of the wall is measured first. All slopes are measured separately and each at least in four points. As a rule, these indicators differ: even if the frame is installed strictly vertically, the wall itself may be uneven.
It is convenient to take measurements using a construction square
The depth of the groove in the door frame is added to the width of the slope. The resulting value determines the width of the extension strip.
