Whoever has ever encountered construction or repair, perfectly understands the problem of correctly determining the size of doorways. If it is made smaller than the standard dimensions of the door leaf with the frame, then you need to buy new doors or break the finished wall. If more, then you will have to make doors to order, and this is much more expensive.
Standard sizes of entrance groups
During construction, when erecting walls, window and door openings are always laid under the selected size of door frames, but there is always the opportunity to slightly adjust it for the specific dimensions of the door you like.
With all the abundance of door panels of various sizes and shapes, there are well-defined standard sizes. So, most of the door panels produced by the post-Soviet countries (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus) are produced 2 meters high and 60 to 90 centimeters wide. Somewhat less often, narrower canvases are presented - from 40 to 60 cm, with a height of 1.9 meters. The thickness of the box is also practicallystandard - from 1.5 to 4 cm.
Example. The building opening is 210x100 cm, the size of the door frames must be at least 207x97, and the size of the door leaf - 200x90. In this case, the platband must be bought with a width of at least 10 cm.
For imported European-made door panels (Spain, Italy, Poland, Finland), slightly different standards are typical. For example, the height of the door is often 220 cm, and the width may differ by several centimeters in one direction or another. If you decide to install doors from a foreign manufacturer, then think carefully: if they need to be replaced, it will be difficult to find the appropriate size in a few years.
Nuances of selecting entrance doors
If in multi-storey residential buildings the dimensions of the entrance doors are made, as a rule, standard - 90 cm wide, then in private construction the entrance groups are not only single, but also double - up to 1.5 meters. The size of the door frames should be chosen taking into account the fact that large items (furniture, household appliances) will be brought into the room through them. Most often, the front door is made with a reinforced frame, and recently metal doors have been preferred.
Interior door frame size
The dimensions of interior doors are usually dictated by the size of the rooms or corridors into which they open. If the room is large, then a double door can be installed (opening 110 cm). In small apartments, room doors are more often single-leaf, 80-90 cm wide.desirable, since furniture should pass through the opening.
If a person has encountered this problem for the first time, then you need to take into account that the size of door frames in thickness is from 7.5 to 11 cm. By measuring the thickness of the wall into which the box will be installed, you can find out if you need additional strap.
It is more expedient in this case to purchase a complete door block, where there is a door leaf already hung with hinges on the box, and all that remains is to insert it into the opening and fix it correctly.
In other words, you can really save time and money by purchasing door blocks that fit the openings.
