Standard sizes of interior doors. Accurate measurement of structures

The door in the interior can play the role of a bright decorative element

Functional features of doors

Depending on the room where the doors are installed, they can vary in width and height. If we are talking about the entrance to the premises of the hall or hall, then wider doors will be used here. When there is a bedroom behind the door, the width of such a door is allowed a little less. Openings to service and utility rooms can be equipped with the narrowest doors.

Depending on the purpose of the room to which the doors lead, they can be deaf or glazed, sliding or pendulum, folding or cassette. Many models are designed to significantly save room space. The general criterion for any type of construction is the overall dimensions of the product and the opening that they will cover.

In typical projects of residential apartment buildings, doorways and frames have specific standard dimensions. Modern Russian and European manufacturers offer an endless range of products, using standard dimensions of interior doors in dimensions. If the renovation of your home does not include disassembly interior partitions and transfer of room openings, then it will be possible to replace the old doors based on the typical parameters. In the room where new partitions and walls have been erected, openings must be equipped, guided by existing standards, since the individual parameters of interior doors will lead to a significant increase in the cost of door structures and their installation.

Doors of the same design were used in the interior for different rooms.

Useful advice! By equipping the premises with typical interior openings, you will provide yourself with a quick choice of the required model and a relatively easy installation of the door structure.

Standard dimensions of interior doors: GOST conditions

Here are the most common sizes of interior doors and openings supported by GOSTs:

1. A door height of 1900 mm corresponds to a typical width of 550 mm and 600 mm.
2. A door height of 2000 mm corresponds to a width of 600, 700, 800, 900 (mm).

The values ​​are in mm:

By adhering to the values ​​of standard sizes of interior doors, manufacturers of door structures are guided by the satisfaction of the massive demand of buyers. As a rule, standard parameters apply not only to the usual swing models, but also to popular compartment doors or pendulum analogues.

Standard door sizes in a typical apartment according to GOST

The existence of a unified system of parameters for interior passages and their covering canvases makes the process of calculating and determining the option suitable for you simple and accessible. In the case when it is necessary for technical or aesthetic reasons to expand the existing opening, this can always be done by increasing it to the required standard size.

In addition to the usual width and height, there is one more size that must be taken into account when choosing doors. This is the thickness of the box. The thickness is considered typical - 75 mm. Of course, partitions in multi-storey buildings correspond to this size, and it is taken into account by the manufacturers of door blocks.

Usually the door is installed so that in the open position it is parallel to the wall.

The hallmark of your home is the interior doors to the living room. As a rule, the openings for such doors are made much wider. And this feature is also taken into account in the projects of apartment buildings. If you are going to replace wide door blocks in an ordinary apartment, you can be sure that the openings and canvases will turn out to be standard.

For the most part, these are interior aisles with a height of 2.01 m to 2.05 m, and a width ranging from 1.28 m to 1.6 m.To close such openings, door leaves are used as with the same width of 0, 6 m, and with flaps of different widths (0.6 + 0.8) m or (0.6 + 0.9) m. All the above options are typical and can be safely ordered from the manufacturer, as standard interior blocks.

Opening dimensions for interior doors. Making the correct measurement

The standard dimensions of the doorway of interior doors are shown in the table below.

The values ​​are in mm:

You can make sure that the dimensions of the door frames of the interior doors match the opening by making a simple calculation. For this, the width and height of the box are measured. The gaps for mounting are added to the obtained figures (15-20 mm on each side, top and bottom). If the floors in the room are not yet installed, consider the thickness of the material from which the floor will be made.

Scheme of the correct removal of the dimensions of the opening and door frame

For error-free determination of parameters, you must:

• remove the old door block, clean it from putty or plaster residues until
  a clear outline of the passage will appear;
• it is desirable to fix the width in three positions (bottom, middle, top);
• the length is obtained as a result of measurement from the top of the passage to the floor, it makes sense
  do it in several places across the width;
• the thickness of the wall is also measured in several places along the vertical slopes and along the upper horizontal slope.

Useful advice! To obtain the exact dimensions of doorways, it is necessary to hold the tape measure strictly horizontally, measuring the width, and strictly vertically, to measure the height.

If you urgently need the dimensions of the openings, and the old doors have not yet been dismantled, you should measure between the middle of the left and right platbands for the width, and from the middle of the upper platband to the floor for the height.

Examples of calculating the proportionality of door frames and passageways to rooms

For clarity, consider a standard doorway for an interior door with dimensions of 900 x 2040 (mm). What sizes of interior doors with a box are suitable for him?

We calculate: to the width of the canvas (800 mm) we add the thickness of the boxes (25 mm - on both sides) and technological intervals (gaps) of 15 mm. We take this number twice (the gap on the left and right). At the exit we get - 880 mm. Similarly, we calculate the height - to 2000 mm we add 25 mm (the thickness of the box) and the upper clearance for installation is 15 mm. We made sure that the standard interior doors with a box, door leaf dimensions 800 x 2000 (mm) clearly fit into the existing standard doorway.

But it very often happens that having already acquired a door leaf with a frame, you understand that its dimensions were not chosen exactly. Returning such products is both time-consuming and costly. There are several ways to change the situation:

1. If we are talking about a few missing millimeters of the width or height of the opening, it can be carefully enlarged by cutting through a wider opening.
2. If the door frame turns out to be narrower than the thickness of the wall, you can use an additional element that covers the uncovered part of the thickness of the wall.
3. If the thickness of the opening is much greater than the thickness of the box (this may be the case if the opening is in the load-bearing wall), then the door frame is framed along the perimeter (except for the bottom) in a high-quality smooth slope.
4. If none of the methods fit, then you can safely order doors with individual parameters.

Useful advice! When ordering swing doors, consider the direction of their opening. To determine if the door is left or right in front of you - face it so that it opens on you. If the doorknob is on the left, then the door is right, if on the right, then the left.

All door structures they have one thing in common - they must strictly correspond to their functional purpose:
