Installing Doors, Baseboards, and Casings: Key Details for Perfect Alignment

Even the most beautiful renovation can lose its charm if the doors are uneven, the baseboards don’t fit tightly, or the joints of the casings are visible.
These small details define the overall look and quality of your interior.

Ayucorp performs professional installation of doors, baseboards, and casings in Alicante, achieving precise alignment and seamless finishes that meet European craftsmanship standards.

Why Precision Matters

Door and trim installation isn’t just about attaching pieces — it’s about geometry, balance, and finish.
Incorrect measurements or rushing the process can lead to:

• Gaps and uneven lines,
• Scratches or warping,
• Noisy or sticking doors,
• Visible seams and poor aesthetics.

Proper fitting guarantees long-term durability and visual harmony.

Installing Interior Doors: What to Consider

1. Preparing the Door Opening

Check that the opening is 3–5 mm wider than the frame.
This gap allows for expansion due to humidity changes — especially important in Alicante’s coastal climate.

2. Leveling the Frame

Use anchors and mounting foam to secure the frame.
Ensure perfect vertical and horizontal alignment with a laser or spirit level.
Even a 1–2 mm deviation can cause the door to close on its own or scrape the frame.

3. Hanging the Door Leaf

Before installation, let the door acclimate for 24–48 hours in the room.
Mount the hinges 20 cm from the top and bottom edges for stability.
After hanging, check the smooth movement and even gap around the perimeter.

Baseboards: Small Details, Big Impact

Baseboards protect the wall’s lower edge and visually complete the room.
For a neat appearance, it’s important to cut and join corners precisely.

Ayucorp tips:

• Cut baseboards at 45° angles for perfect corner joints;
• Use liquid nails or concealed clips for clean attachment;
• Fill joints with matching acrylic sealant for invisible seams;
• Always check for wall flatness before mounting.

Casings: Finishing Touches

Casings (trim around the door) give the entire installation a polished, cohesive look.

Key points:

• Top joints should be cut at 45°;
• Use finish adhesive or hidden nails for a seamless surface;
• If wooden, apply varnish or wax to protect against humidity;
• Align casings with the baseboard — no steps or gaps at the junction.
