Door frames and skirting boards colour choices

[iteles]

• 220m of skirting board at €1,452 + 23% VAT (€334)
• 27 door frames (4 attic, 7 top floor, 7 middle floor, 8 basement) - @nelsonic, let's check these numbers on-site later today! Price TBC once we triple-check doors

As soon as the flooring is in, skirting boards and door frames can go in (technically, door frames could go in first but there's a better finish if the floor is already in).

Questions/Notes

• Middle floor:
  • Do we want a door frame for the library, or just wall finishing? (I vote just wall finishing, but the skirting board has to be very well done around the corners and into the room)
  • So far, in the toilets, we have a white door frame planned for the entrance to the men's section (not the stall itself) because Carlos has been telling us it's mega difficult to cut those tiles that are already on the walls in such a way that we can just tile around the wall area - I feel we need to see the other door frames in place before we make this call (or a photo of the same ones in place), if it sticks out too much it might look awful
  • In those same toilets, we had a sliding door planned for men's section, but with a bathroom stall door and the wall we've now build for the urinol area, I think this will be bad UX, just one more thing to open (and spread germs) - I say we nix this. There should be nothing to touch between the urinols and the sink
• Basement: No door frame for the entrance to the double changing/toilet area, only for the 2 stalls themselves

Colours

With the wood-colour laminate flooring, I think wood on wood for the whole house might be too intense and certainly wouldn't work out in terms of the grey-tiled basement (for humidity purposes).

Our walls will be white but I'm proposing white door-frames and skirting boards in lacquered MDF, with wooden doors and floors for a similar colour effect to this:

@iteles as discussed verbally with you and Chico (the carpenter) I agree with having

• White MDF door frames (for ease of maintenance) and skirting,
• Wood (effect) laminate floors (good for durability and cleanability) and
• Wood doors. Doors! Why? What? Where? Who? When? How? door#1

As I have previously discussed, I would prefer to both design and make the doors in our workshop because I would like to integrate the electronics into the door.
But in the interest of opening the house ASAP, I agree that paying Chico to make the doors
is going to be more time and cost effective.

• Middle Floor:

  • Just finish the door frame of the library. I have a plan for it that everyone will love. 😉
  • The gent's toilet wall/frame will not look bad, don't worry.
  • No sliding door is required now that there is a "privacy wall". (I really wish you/we had recorded the decision back in November when it was made to "cancel" the sliding door) ... The only sliding door we sill have planned is the MR Bathroom in the basement.

• Basement

  • No entrance door to the changing rooms/toilets.
  • Individual doors for the Toilets.
  • Individual doors for the Showers in "Painél Fenólico" (made by Carlos?)

@nelsonic Exactly. Will confirm door frame numbers tonight and email to carpenter.

Doors themselves are separate to this but all bathroom doors are white and all other doors are wood-coloured 👍

Fenólicos (phenolic) doors come from Carlos and will be a separate issue.

We agreed all skirting boards would be made anew. Door frames will all be white with the ones for existing doors to be painted white (with brand new 'batentes' so that the doors don't slam and calhas on the outside where they were ripped off the walls) and new ones to be in MDF lacado.
