Many buyers mistakenly think that the doors to the bathroom and the bathroom are identical in size and often make an unfavorable choice that requires adjustment or correction. But this is not entirely true, because when choosing interior doors, nuances often arise. If you decide to buy doors to the bathroom and toilet, the dimensions of which are not always up to standard, then get ready for "surprises" that you don't want to overlook.
This does not mean at all that the use of standard structures in terms of parameters and performance characteristics is prohibited. It is possible, if the opening is standard. Just do not forget that active operation and constant contact with water and moisture will lead to a quick failure of the canvas. So think about it, is it worth paying twice?
To avoid mistakes at the time of purchase of the design,check out the dimensions of the doors to the bathroom and for the bathroom, as well as their properties. So using the door will bring aesthetic pleasure and practical benefits, and not a series of continuous inconveniences.
On what to base the choice
Approaching the choice of an ordinary interior door, the buyer focuses on the appearance of the product, how harmoniously it will fit into the interior, what performance characteristics the design is characterized by and the environmental friendliness of the composition.
For a bathroom or bathroom, you will need to choose a door in a slightly different context, namely, taking into account the increased moisture protection of the surface of the door leaf and resistance to climate change.
In this case, you can give preference to goods produced, according to experts, the best manufacturers on the market:
- "Cabinet Maker".
- PO "Odintsovo".
- ONYX.
- Matador.
- Sofia.
When choosing the size of your bathroom doors, don't focus on natural veneer finishes. This material is actively deformed during prolonged contact with a humid environment. If you are an ardent supporter of veneer, then please note that only a design model finished with veneer and covered with a special protective layer of varnish that does not allow moisture to pass through is suitable for a bathroom or bathroom.
As experts say, the best option for a door with the required dimensions will be a door leaf that comes with a box. This guarantees the correctdoor operation after installation.
How to choose the right door size for the bathroom and bathroom
Compared to the rest, the dimensions of the doors for the bathroom, or rather the doorways, differ significantly from those inside the room. It is enough to miss by only 0.5 cm and, at first glance, a small miscalculation will result in additional expenses for the buyer. They are due to the fact that in this case the cost of installation increases by almost 1.5 times due to the need to adjust both the canvas and the box to the size of the opening.
Precise design measurements
The dimensions of the door to the bathroom according to the standard in Soviet-era buildings with typical layouts are 600x2000 mm, in the new building - 700x2000. But you cannot be 100% sure of the accuracy of these data. If the apartment was already put into operation, the previous owner could easily adjust the opening or replace the door leaf. Therefore, before buying a new door, it is important to re-measure, taking into account the adjustments.
Before taking measurements, remove the trim and the old door structure:
- Measure the height of the doorway, starting from the floor and up to its overlap. At the same time, do not forget to take into account the height of the future floor surface finish, if you have not yet carried out the reconstruction of the coating.
- The width of the opening is measured from wall to wall.
- The thickness of the wall (depth of the opening), using a similar technique, taking into account the thickness of the future wall decoration on both sides.
Howcalculate opening dimensions
Go to this step once you have received all the measurements needed to further calculate the appropriate size of the bathroom door with the frame. The calculation is carried out on the basis of subtracted values due to:
- The distance between the wall and the box is 10-15mm.
- Box beam - 25 mm.
- The distance between the panel and the box is 3 mm.
- Distances from the bottom edge of the box and threshold - 10 mm.
How to understand this algorithm? Easier than it seems at first glance! For an opening with parameters 68x20, 5x210 cm, the following figures come out: door width - 60 cm, height - 2 m.
Faced with the need for such calculations related to determining the size of the opening under the door to the bathroom, for the first time, perhaps not everything is as clear as we would like. Then you can seek help from a specialist. Such an assistant will take all the necessary measurements, and in the future, after the acquisition or manufacture of the door, he mounts the structure in place.
A few words about standard sizes
The designs listed below, sold in specialized stores or construction hypermarkets, can always be found in stock and do not wait until the design is made to order. If only they fit your door parameters:
- 550x1900 mm canvases are suitable for openings with a width of 59-65 cm and a height of 195-200 cm;
- 600x1900 mm canvases are suitable for openings with a width of 64-70 cm and a height of 195-200 cm;
- 600х2000 mm canvassuitable for openings with a width of 64-70 cm and a height of 205-210 cm.
Now, knowing the standard sizes of a bathroom door, you will choose the right option right away.

Under it, it is recommended to leave a gap of no more than one and a half centimeters foradditional ventilation of the bathroom. But if you want the door to fit snugly, go for the upgraded version of the product with bars.
Subtleties of choosing a design by material
Having chosen the model of the door to the bathroom in size, decide on the version of the execution, that is, the raw materials used during the manufacture. It can be solid wood: oak or beech or other lumber.
Products made from natural wood undergo a complex technological process of processing, including drying (natural and vacuum), coating with a protective layer of varnish. All these actions are aimed at the longevity of the structure and its high resistance to deformation in the event of a collision with wet air masses.
Sometimes, in order to save money, doors belonging to the budget category are made from solid glued pine, lined with a thin layer of MDF and covered with PVC film over it. The photo shows the bathroom door with standard dimensions, with an interesting design option.
Today, veneered doors are the most popular option, the modern production technology of which allows them to be used for rooms with high humidity.
It is not excluded the use of plastic structures, which, when properly processed, are characterized by excellent moisture-proof properties.
Now you have an idea of what standard door sizes mean and what rules should be followed in the design selection process. Descriptions givenand recommendations will become a simple handy tool for choosing the right door that pleases the owners in the course of further operation.
