How to Choose Interior Door Sizes?

Having decided on the style, design and shade, the buyer wonders how to choose the right size of interior doors. This determines not just the appearance, but the functionality and reliability of the door structure. First of all, you should focus on the door opening, which must be measured correctly. If inaccuracies are made in measurements and calculations, even the most expensive and premium doors can lose their advantages.

The professional surveyors at DANAPRIS DOORS know how to measure a door opening correctly and how to choose the right door size without wasting the customer’s time and money. We have been a leading manufacturer of interior doors in Ukraine for many years, so we will definitely help you choose the best door structure of the optimal size. We produce doors in standard sizes, and also manufacture custom-made models when required.

Standard door sizes for rooms of various purposes

How to choose the size of interior doors? The answer to this question is simple — you should focus on the size of the door opening. As a rule, in apartment buildings they are standard: 190–210 cm in height and 60–90 cm in width. We manufacture doors to individual sizes.

Standard door leaf dimensions for rooms of various purposes may differ slightly:

• Living rooms: 200 cm height, 80 cm width, average opening depth 12–20 cm;
• Kitchen: 200 cm height, 70 cm width, average opening depth 12–20 cm;
• Bathroom: 190–200 cm height, 55–60 cm width, average opening depth 12–20 cm.

Those building a private house find it easier to design standard door openings, since selecting doors for them is straightforward. For non-standard opening dimensions, a custom door manufacturing order is required, which will be more expensive and take more time.

Measuring the door opening when choosing interior door sizes

Are you wondering how to choose interior doors based on the opening size? The best solution is to call a professional surveyor from our company DANAPRIS DOORS, who will quickly and accurately perform all the necessary measurements. If needed, the specialist will answer any questions you may have, and a manager will help you select the doors.

If necessary, you can take measurements and perform calculations yourself. To do this, you need to know the following parameters:

• Height and width of the door opening. Measurements are taken in three places and the minimum value is recorded.
• Wall thickness in the opening. Measurements are taken in three places and the maximum value is recorded.
• Architrave width. The standard architrave width is 80 mm, but non-standard sizes can also be made.

After taking all the necessary measurements, calculations are performed.

For example, for interior doors with architraves:

For hidden installation doors with 40 / 45 profiles:

Precise parameters are especially important for hidden installation doors, as the door frame is installed during the rough finishing stage of the wall, and the floor level rise and wall thickness must be taken into account.

The door opening must be measured in any situation, even if the door openings are standard according to the plan, since walls may be uneven. If interior doors of non-standard dimensions are planned, measurements and calculations should be carried out with particular care.

Accurate measurement is a job for a professional. Precise measuring requires special tools and special knowledge. You can order a free measurement from DANAPRIS DOORS.
