Dimensions of interior doors

A rather important role in decorating the design of rooms is played by interior doors. A wide range of styles, sizes, materials, production, opening mechanisms allows to please every customer. But with the size of the interior models, you need to be careful, because it depends on them the process of installing and operating products.

The dimensions of the aisles between the rooms are smaller than at the entrance to the apartment. According to the terms of GOST, the entrance door opening should be at least 80 cm, and the minimum width of the interior room should be 60 cm. But this width is not quite comfortable, because through such a passage it is impossible to carry or carry furniture, kitchen attributes and other large-sized accessories.

As for the thickness of interior doors, then according to the standard they should be 75 mm. In the individual construction there may be deviations, for example, if the wall is made of plasterboard - the thickness will be less.

Often there are situations when the standard door leaf with the box does not match the old one. As a result, you will need to either adjust the walls or order interior doors, the dimensions of which will be individual. Of course, custom-made room doors will cost, perhaps even 50% more expensive than standard designs, but you can be completely sure that the door will fit perfectly into the opening, and you will not have to mess around with cash out.

Individual dimensions of internal doors can be varied, there are no restrictions here. An important indicator is the height of the ceilings and the area of ​​the room, because a large-sized model in a small room will look ridiculous.

Often non-standard doors have dimensions:

• height from 2 to 2.3 m;
• width from 50 cm to 2 m;
• thickness can be varied, permissible even 9 cm.

The mass of structures from the above-listed sizes practically does not change. Manufacturers can not make the door too heavy, because a large mass will adversely affect the operation of the structure, hinges and rollers will not be able to withstand the load.

The height of the interior door is the height of the door leaf, which is approximately 5 mm less than the distance from the floor to the upper edge of the door frame.

Speaking of doors, there are 3 heights:

• doorway;
• door block;
• door leaf.

The standard height in the apartment varies from 1900 mm to 2000 mm. Manufacturers offer double doors with canopy heights up to 2,800 mm.

If you do not know how to calculate the height of the door frame, then 35 mm should be added to the height of the leaf, if the box has no threshold. When there is a threshold, you must add 70 mm. The height of the doorway is directly dependent on the height of the block or door frame. For products without a threshold, the height of the opening varies within 210 cm.

From the width of the door leaf depends on the convenience of daily operation of the door. For example, for a bathroom, the opening should be narrower than for a room or a kitchen. For the kitchen, the minimum width of the doorway is 700 mm, and for the living room - 800 mm.

Binary models deserve special attention.that look gorgeous at the entrance to the terrace or large living room. As a rule, such products are a combination of two standard identical or different canvases.The width of the double door panels can be 1200 mm, 1400 mm or 800 mm.

One of the most important characteristics that affect product quality is thickness. There is no standard indicator, anyone can order a canvas of the required thickness. The most common doors with a thickness of 35 and 40 mm, sliding models have a thickness of 20 mm.

The thickness of the structure affects the characteristics of the product:

• strength;
• insulation;
• the mass of the door;
• design.

The strength, in addition to the thickness of the structure, is also influenced by the filling - wood, glass or panel.

The weight of the interior door depends on the material used for its production and, of course, on the size. When choosing a structure, the mass must be taken into account, because the wrong decision will lead to problems in operation. For example, too heavy doors will be difficult to open for small children. If a massive construction accidentally push a person, you can injure him. Also note that if the doors weigh more than 70 kg, then you will need to use additional fasteners.

Interior doors have long been no longer just a dividing line between rooms. Today it is one of the main pieces of decor. The doorway may be original, in this situation, double doors are often installed. But they do not always look appropriate.

One-and-a-half models are popular. They consist of two door leaves with different widths - the main part is wide, the other is narrow. The secondary canvas, as a rule, is always closed on the latches and opens it only if you need to bring furniture. Door leaf can be deaf, or with glass inserts.

The advantages of one-and-a-half doors include such properties as:

• simple and quick installation;
• perfectly fit into any interior, including the bathroom;
• This model allows to expand a doorway with ease, having opened an additional cloth;
• one-and-a-half models are presented in wide assortment, the set of options of design and shades allows to please each buyer. In addition, the variety of material used allows you to choose the door according to the established budget.

Open one-and-a-half doors visually increase the area of ​​the room, so they can be mounted in large rooms with original openings.Together with an unusual decorative finish, they will become a real interior decoration.

The double designs look luxurious, which are also presented in different designs. Such models appropriately look in rooms which can "brag" the big area.

To measure the interior door, it is necessary to determine the indicators:

• width;
• height;
• depth;
• slope;
• evenness

Measurement of the door begins with measuring its width. The distance between the side supports at the bottom of the passage is measured, but in order for the results to be as accurate as possible, it is necessary to know the distance in the center and at the top.To complete this task, you just need a tape measure.

Then it is necessary to determine the height of the opening, the standard figure is 210 cm. To determine it, it is better to call someone for help, since it will not be very convenient to work yourself. Please note that new doors are installed after laying the floor, measurement is also recommended to be carried out with a new floor covering. It is necessary to determine the height at several points, the center will be the reference point.

Note that the width of the opening is different from the width of the web., the box is selected a couple of centimeters less, leaving space for installation. The measurements are completed by determining the thickness of the elements - this indicator depends on the wall thickness.

Choosing interior doors to a room is not such an easy process as it seems initially.

When selecting interior doors, the following criteria should be considered:

• cost - pre-determine your budget so that you know which price category to choose;
• production material - it can be wood, metal with glass or combined models;
• design and combination with the interior of the room;
• ease of use;
• shade;
• manufacturer.

Measuring the dimensions of the doorway, choosing the production material and coating, you need to understand what the design and color of the doors should be. It depends on which room the doors are chosen for. For example, a narrow model without glasses is chosen for a bathroom, but for a living room a double-leaf decorated glass will be an ideal option. If the apartment has a child or active pets, then it is not recommended to choose models with glass, or else you need to install doors with tempered triplex glass.

There are the following door designs, depending on the opening:

• swing - fixed on two hinges, open in one direction, are inexpensive, and therefore very popular;
• tsargovye - with a type-setting design;
• sliding-radius - they open parallel to the wall or hide them in the allotted cavity on the open rollers;
• folding - they save space, when opened they are collected with a book or an accordion, but they do not have the required level of noise insulation. Also note that such models are fragile, they can easily be damaged if handled carelessly.

Regardless of whether you choose interior doors for an apartment or for a private house, a particular style is formed in any room, which you need to adhere to in every detail.

Doors are also classified by design:

• Classic - characterized by solid canvases, which are divided into two parts;
• Modern - canvases can be original forms and have different dimensions. Doors are decorated with glass or veneer;
• Techno - this style is characterized by minimalism and severity of forms, a distinctive feature are straight lines, the lack of decorative elements on the glass;
• High-tech - the doors of this style are made of aluminum, glass, MDF, PVC film;
• Baroque - for this style it is necessary to choose luxurious doors with elaborate decor elements. Here you will see the magnificent decor of expensive metals, the use of precious wood.

In each interior, the main element is the shade. To choose the color of the canvas can be harmonious with the floor and baseboard, but it should be a few shades lighter. If you pick up the door in the tone of the furniture, they should be 4 tones lighter so that these elements do not merge.And when the canvases are chosen in combination with the walls, then stop the choice on models a few shades darker.

In the bedroom, you can choose light shades, they will give the room lightness and visually enlarge the room. Products with various patterns from glass and a dusting look beautifully. They make the atmosphere in the room cozy.

Wenge-colored doors look great with a light-colored interior. This noble shade will give the interior a luxury. Wood models of any color always look great in “Khrushchev’s” apartments and new buildings.

Do not forget that any doors are not just a canvas, they are also component parts, such as a box, platbands on both sides and “dobori”. Also the door leaf and the box should be made of the same type material. There is a lot of load on the door, so the first place to put is not the design, but the model's characteristics. It must be durable, resistant to mechanical stress, shock.

If you choose products with glass inserts, be sure to check the quality of their mounting, they should not rattle or vibrate. Do not forget to clarify which glass is installed on the door and what seals are used; these characteristics affect the strength of the structure.
