door panels.

raven83

Hello hoping someone can point me in the right direction,

someone told me that you can get stick on door panels, that you attach to a door to give it a paneled look, i was wondering where you can get these kits from and are they any good, its for an internal door by the way. I was thinking of changing the a door in my house but then i heard of them so thought maybe it would be cheaper to buy a kit. Anyone got any ideas please?:beer:

You can buy a panelled door for about £30 including delivery, re-use the existing door furniture, and slap on some paint, and you are sorted. Wouldn't stick on panels look a bit naff?

see thats what i was thinking but i was worried that getting a door and having to plane it down would be really hard?

I did 8 during the recent holidays, and it is not particularly hard, as long as you think first, measure 3 times, and double check, and use the right tools. I bought two cheap workbenches (you can get them for £15 a pop from Argos etc), a power plane, and some chisels. It does cost a bit if you don't already have the tools, and never use them again. You also have to be careful not to bang architraves etc with the door when hanging it. Alternatively find a good chippy, and pay ~£40 for them to hang the door.
