What sizes is a standard interroom door?

For the separation of two rooms mainly use interior doors. Today, these structures are made not only from wood. Sometimes materials like plastic or glass are used. They look great not only in an apartment or house, but also in the office.

The doors between the rooms are for specific purposes. Among the main functions of these structures:

• a partition between two separate rooms;
• stylish and beautiful view of the product;
• muting noise.

The most popular material used for the manufacture of these structures is wood. Often used ash and pine. Oak is a more expensive material. The better and stronger the tree, the, respectively, and its price is more expensive.

Most often, the most expensive models are made from solid solid wood. They meet the necessary requirements of high quality doors. Manufacturers make them completely differently, which is why they have different colors, different designs, as well as all sorts of sizes.

Today, doors between rooms made of veneer are quite popular. They are in their appearance is not inferior to expensive models of timber. At the same time, their price is much lower and more acceptable for the average buyer.

The basis of these products is taken cheap wood. At the last stage of production, it is simply covered with veneer. For additional decoration, various glass inserts or carvings are used. They are desirable to install in rooms with low humidity. In this way, you can extend their service life significantly.

In order to purchase a quality door, you need to determine:

• the amount you are willing to spend on the purchase;
• which room in the house is the door;
• the overall interior of the room to be able to decide on the color of the future door.

There are also double and single models. Most often the second type is used.

Buy finished products today will not make any special work. This can be done both in the store and on the Internet.

Another issue under construction or repair is the determination of the size of the opening under the door. Planning to order these products from a certain manufacturer under the order in the future, you should not worry about these parameters.

The dimensions of the Chinese door on the box are measured according to the standard scheme. The standard size of the interior door together with the box is chosen in order to save. For room doors standard measurements make easy.

With a clearly distributed budget, it is better to think about the standard sizes of openings for further installation of doors between rooms. So, you will be able to plan your costs with accuracy, because a large selection of designs of various parameters is offered in hardware stores.

Today, manufacturers offer buyers a lot of variations of door panels on the subject of texture, size and style.

As a rule, the optimal parameters that are popular are the following door sizes:

• width - 0.6 m, 0.7 m or 0.8 m;
• usually height is 2 meters.

Now there are also doors with a width of 0.55 m and a height of 1.9 m, and the thickness of the door frame varies from 15 to 45 cm.

In the case of expansion, you should consider the placement of communications or drywall lintels on a metal frame.

The opposite situation is possible when the hole is too large. Its reduction also entails costs when referring to the profile masters. If you are interested in how to reduce the height of the doorway, then you can use a wooden beam, drywall or brick.

So, correctly determine the required size of the opening:

• height and width of the product ordered;
• threshold size (of your choice);
• the width of the platbands;
• thickness (depth) of the door frame.

When building a house according to an individual plan, the parameters of the openings will probably differ from the standard ones. Here there are three options:

• Less time and money consuming. Make holes of typical parameters and purchase doors of standard sizes that you liked in the store.
• More costly financially, but with a quality result. Order a master for measurements in the company that will produce you door leaf for specific dimensions. Here you can choose absolutely any model, color, accessories and accessories.
• Alternative. Purchase or order dobory (special strips, additionally attached to the box in order to increase its thickness). So you can install standard interior doors in non-standard openings.

Doors are manufactured according to numerous standards and regulations, such as GOST and SNiP. They regulate the size of interior and entrance doors. Ordinary person in them is difficult to understand because of the numerous abbreviations, dates and numbers.

Common box dimensions are 35 mm thick. That is, the door leaf of the box 70 mm - 35 + 35. Now we measure the height. In the presence of a threshold, the height is shortened by 70 mm, in the absence - by 35 mm. So, the door leaf will be smaller than the opening in the wall by 100 mm (both in width and in height).

Choosing doors, you need to understand what size the door frame has and how these parameters affect the dimensions of the doorway. Each room has its own standards, established and caused by functional features:

• doorways in the kitchen make 0.7 x 2 m;
• in the rooms - 0.8 x 2 m;
• in bathrooms - 0.6 (sometimes 0.55) x1.9 m;
• second entrance doors 0.8x2 m or 0.9x2 m;
• the main entrance 1,2x2 m - if single-wing, and 0,6 / 0,8 + 0,4 m - if two-floor.

The size of the doorway should be 0.08 - 0.1 m wider and 0.06 - 0.09 m higher than the canvas.

A few tips on how to know the size of the door leaf:

• A doorway without a door is measured by “bare” walls. Therefore, you need to dismantle the canvas with the box before measuring.
• Measure the distance between the walls in all directions. Record the smallest number.
• Measure the distance from the point on the floor (choose the lowest) to the top of the opening.
• The depth of the hole is equal to the width of the wall, so you should measure all three (left, top and right).

If you could not remove the door frame:

• Measure the distance from the center of one casing to the center of the second - this will give approximate results from which you can make a start.
• Find the distance from the floor to the upper point of the casing.
• Measure the thickness of the box, as well as the wall itself, if it protrudes from you.

As you can see, nothing complicated here.

Choosing the width of the door opening, you should take into account the fact that you have to bring certain dimensional things inside: sofas, tables, dressers, beds and the like. Therefore, these things are not always “pass” into a hole 0.6 m wide. Still, the optimal width is 0.8 m.

General recommendations:

• openings should be smaller than the entrance;
• the usual width of the entrance doors should not exceed 0.8 m, interior doors - 0.6–0.8 m;
• The standard size (width) of the door to the bathroom must be such that it is possible to bring a washing machine, bathroom fixtures, a bedside table, and so on.

The thickness of the door opening is most often about 0.75 m. The same thickness is offered by the box manufacturers. In the presence of thick walls, consider the need to expand the box. Even if the difference is insignificant, you will not be able to hide it with the help of platbands.

The wall thickness is also measured at three points. If the number is the same, feel free to order a standard design, if not - you will have to file a wall in this place. If you do not align the walls, the frames will not be able to install exactly.

The interroom door by all means has to be practical, but also to approach an interior of your room. To match the color - combine their tone with the tone of the floor, furniture and walls. Sometimes rooms have different styles. In this case, you should pay attention to neutral rooms, for example, a corridor. Thus, the integrity of the interior will not be broken.

Among the most popular colors of interior doors:

• universal monophonic white color;
• the classic style will suit light shades - bog oak and wenge;
• warm tone of dark walnut;
• cold shade of birch.
