Lay the floor first or install the door first? Listen to what professionals say

The classic question in decoration is whether to install the floor or the door first. So how do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of installing it? Let's take a look together!

If the living room is paved with bricks and the bedroom is paved with wooden flooring, that is, not all flooring, then there is no need to consider and you can choose to install the door first. If the home floor is paved with solid wood flooring, priority should be given to installing doors first, as solid wood flooring is more susceptible to damage compared to composite flooring, which can prevent floor scratches.
So, in general, what is the installation sequence for doors and floors? From a professional perspective, many professionals suggest installing flooring first for three reasons:
Firstly, installing the floor first and then the door can accurately ensure the size of the gap between the door and the floor. If the door is installed first and then the floor is installed, there will be a problem with the size of the gap between the door and the floor. Even if skilled installers know in advance the thickness and size of the floor, there are too many uncertain factors and variables during the home decoration process, resulting in excessive thickness, unsightly appearance, and poor sound insulation effect; Leave it too small, in case the door sinks or the floor bulges, it will cause friction between the door and the floor.

Secondly, installing the floor first and then the door can avoid the installation difficulties of various special angles and sizes between the floor and the door frame that often occur when installing the door first and then the door. It also avoids the inconvenience of removing the floor latch at individual points where the floor must be connected to the door during floor installation.

Thirdly, installing the floor first and then the door can ensure that the door frame is pressed against the floor. This way, after applying glass glue to the gap between the door frame and the floor, elastic contact will be formed, which not only ensures that water will not seep into the fracture of the door frame, causing deformation of the door frame, but also avoids the difficult combination between the floor panel and the door frame when installing the door first and then the floor.
