Step 4Preparing the existing wall for hanging the door, wall 3
Right now we're gonna make a space were the door will hang and take the measurements were to place the wall created in step 1.
-First measure the width of the wall created in step 1; this should be exactly 1,05m due to the polystrene blocks and the frame.
-Since the door will be hung in front of the 3rd wall we need the door when closed to fit perfectly between the existing wall and the wall we created ourselfs, we also need the know the thickness of the door. In my case 10cm.
-Now substract this 10cm from the width of wall 1 (1,05m) so you'll know were to place the 2,45m x 5cm x 7,5cm beam. this will be at 95cm, meassured from the back of wall 5. This is the effective size of the inside of micbooth.
-Make sure you attach the beam very well because all the weight of the door is gonna hang on this beam.
Note: the 7,5cm thickness of beam gives the door enough rotation space to open. If you place the door to close to the wall the door can't open!
Now that you've placed this beam we can go on creating the 3rd wall which will stop the door from going to far inside the micbooth when opened. This wall will also make the door much more soundproof.
-First we need 4 beams of 1m x 5cm x 2,5cm, one of 15cm x 5cm x 2,5cm and one of 55cm.
-Take one beam of 1m and attach it to the ceiling and the beam you've recently placed on the existing wall. This will make the frame of the 3rd wall.
-Now take a second beam of 1m and place it on the ground and also attach it to the beam against the wall.
-On top of this beam you place a piece of polystrene with the sizes: 15cm x 50cm x 1m. this is a piece I've still got left from step 2 and 3 (filling the frame with polystrene).
-On top of the polystrene you need to place another beam to keep it al in place. Attach the beams and the polystrene together using the beam of 15cm. creating a small frame around the piece of polystrene.
-Do the same at the top of the room using the full size of a polystrene block and the beam of 55cm.
Now you've created some sort of wall with dooropening...which we need to attach to the 1st wall we're now gonna place.
-First measure the width of the wall created in step 1; this should be exactly 1,05m due to the polystrene blocks and the frame.
-Since the door will be hung in front of the 3rd wall we need the door when closed to fit perfectly between the existing wall and the wall we created ourselfs, we also need the know the thickness of the door. In my case 10cm.
