Interior Door Frame Questions

User
8 years ago

I have always thought that the doors in my house sounded, well, cheap or hollow when closed, and I think I have discovered why...

I pulled the trim of as I was painting, and I wanted to get rid of the builder style cheap trim around them...

I found that the spaces between the door frames/jambs, and the walls ranges from say an inch, to a space I could slide a 2x4 into...so my question is this...

Should I just fill these spaces in with some of that expandable foam, or should I find appropriate sized wood planks to fill in these gaps?

I am almost positive that by doing either one of these, the doors will seem to be more firmly anchored, and therefore sound firmer/sturdier...

Any thoughts/hits or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Dave
