The Doors

[mrt273nva]

Is anyone else having this problem of expanding door during this monsoon season? All of my woods doors in my house either have an extremely tight fit or won't shut at all. After the monsoon season will they go back again or are the doors ruined?

From experience they will return to normal after it dries up.

Yes that is normal, you can use a planner to take a bit off, wait till it dries out, or fit UPVC door [good idea anyway for the bathrooms]

they will shrink back when the rain stops ,dont plane them as they will be too small later and the mosquitto's will get in .

do you hear about "Humid air" in countrys like LOS?

if the humidity are between 80-100%, every wood will stretch....that's normal ..do nothing, if you can close the door.

This time, in the rainsaison we have about 70-100% humidity every day...just wait for december and everything will be good.

PS: hot air also need more place/volume then cold air (extend of volume)

or why do you think a hot air balloon rise up from the earth?

I hope your house will not get bigger in this rainseason

normal... Windows.. PVC is the Answer for long term solution!

Mold in my Wardrobe, on the Entrance door, on leather made items, on cotton clothes...books..

Used to use dehumidifiers in Hong Kong where the humidity rarely drops below 90% for at least 6 months of the year. Everything goes mouldy without them. Looked for one here but no luck....anyone know if they are sold anywhere?

LOL, you know what there are called.

[Samuian]

Silica granules... come in a variety of sizes, usually electronic equipment is packed with it... to keep moisture at bay.

But never seen it around here...

A small bulb in the wardrobe might do - the best is constant flow of air - good ventilation!

In the woodden "old style" Thai Houses this was given, since they are all concrete... I have even mould on the walls!

Thanks Roo.

Must run to the store now while there are some left.

[Samuian]

Happy....

Thanx Roo, and this makes ALL the Difference?

Does it say how much humidity is absorbed, per m3?

Hi Samuian, yes it does make a diff, especially in wardrobes & linen closets etc...... for larger areas you might need 2 or 3. It probably says what it can absorb, but it's in Chinese.

Another hint for enclosed area, use half a bucket of dry sand & let it stand.It will absorb moisture & control mould ( keep sand in bucket ).

[rrose070]

This is the same like the tiny sachets that come with a new pair of shoes, or purse. Nothing works better. You can drop off the new purses and shoes at my place, and welcome to the included sachets!

THX, Rooo, that I didn't know til now!

I think you'll find that it's your house that is actually shrinking, nothing to do with your doors. I am in the process of bolting steel girders around my house at 2 different levels in order to try & stop this, though I fear it may lead to cracking in the plaster work. I'll let you know.

[Stevethongsala]

I've a same problem like you in KPN and this system is good but very expensive in the time
