Replacing doors during the process is a very responsible matter. It is important not just to choose, it must fit into the opening. Adjusting the dimensions is often impossible without disturbing the structure of the coating. Taking risks in this case is very expensive. Therefore, when choosing, you need to take into account not only the design, but also the standard sizes interior doors, typical markings for opening methods, and prepare as much as possible before going to the shopping center.
The purpose of interior products differs from those that are intended to protect housing from intrusion by strangers. First of all, they must be highly functional and provide comfort in the premises. Requirements for different rooms, differ, but the main criteria can still be identified:
- Protecting the premises from unwanted visits. For example, it is necessary to create confidence that no one will accidentally interfere during procedures. In addition, protection is needed from increased noise, light, odors from the kitchen or drafts;
- division of space– this is necessary to delimit the premises into separate zones and organize the area according to its purpose;
- – the canvases must correspond to the general design of the premises.
Structures can be glazed or sheathed tightly. According to the opening method - cassette. The main selection criterion is that the canvas must completely cover the entrance.
Dimensions of interior doors according to GOST
Dimensions have been approved by the state standard interior designs. In this case, it is necessary to take into account several parameters at the same time: length, width and thickness doorways. All manufacturers adhere to certain standards. If necessary, structures can be manufactured according to individual measurements, but this will not be cheap for the customer.
Here are the main standard dimensions of interior doors with a frame for a leaf thickness of 44 mm:
| Dimensions of the canvas, mm | Opening dimensions, mm | ||||||
| Width | Height | Width | Height | ||||
| Single door models | |||||||
| 550 | 2000 | 2100 | 2200 | 630/650 | 2060/2090 | 2160/2190 | 2260/2290 |
| 600 | 680/700 | ||||||
| 700 | 780/800 | ||||||
| 800 | 880/900 | ||||||
| 900 | 980/1000 | ||||||
| Double-leaf models | |||||||
| 1200 (600/600) | 2000 | 2100 | 2200 | 1280/1300 | 2060/2090 | 2160/2190 | 2260/2290 |
| 1400 (600/800) | 1480/1500 | ||||||
| 1500 (600/900) | 1580/1600 | ||||||
You should know this! Standard parameters allow you to select and install the design as accurately as possible. However, its functionality will not be impaired.
How to correctly measure an opening
If it is not possible to invite a measurer, you need to measure all the dimensions yourself. To do this you will need a tape measure, a pencil and a piece of paper.
- Width measurements must be taken at the top and bottom at a distance of 20 centimeters from the top and bottom borders and in the middle;
- height is measured in two places: from the floor surface to the upper border. If there is a threshold, it should be taken into account when taking measurements;
- measuring the thickness of the door frame of an interior door. Moreover, if it is more than 100 mm, it will be necessary to additionally install additional elements in the form of slopes.
The gap between the box and the wall should be 15 mm. After installing the structure, it is filled with polyurethane foam.
If you plan to install non-standard structures, for example, in the form of an arch, you need to contact professionals. It is quite difficult to perform such measurements correctly. You can draw a design on paper and give it to manufacturers.
Calculation of the proportionality of the box to the opening
If you don’t have a proportionality table at hand, you can calculate it yourself required parameters. To do this, add the width of the box and the thickness to the width of the canvas. installation gap on both sides.
- The standard width of the door frame is 25 mm;
- The recommended gap on each side is 15 mm.
Let's calculate the parameters of the opening width for a sash with a width of 550 mm:
550 + 25×2 + 15×2 = 630 mm.
To calculate the size of the opening for interior doors in height, you need to take into account:
- distance from the floor surface to the sash 10 mm;
- box thickness 25 mm;
- gap 15 mm.
The height parameters without threshold will be calculated as follows:
2000 + 25 + 15 + 1 = 2031 mm.
To install a box with a threshold, you need to add the height of the threshold instead of the indentation to the floor surface, and take into account the method of its fastening: with foam or screws.
Construction dimensions do not always fit into these formulas. In case of discrepancies, you can use the following tips:
- if a few millimeters of the opening width is missing, you need to expand it a little manually;
- if the box is much narrower than recommended building codes, you should select the appropriate sizes of extensions for interior doors, they will close the free partition;
- if the product is installed in load-bearing wall, its thickness may exceed the thickness of the box. For such a case, slopes are installed.
If none of the proposed options is suitable, you should make a block according to individual order.
Corridor Product Parameter Definitions
When choosing a product for a room, you need to take into account the dimensions of the openings. They must differ from the parameters of the valves. You cannot rely on standards; you must take your own measurements.
The standard height of doorways in the corridor is 2.01÷2.05 m. The width can vary within 1.28÷1.6 m.
In order to select a product according to these parameters, you can choose a double-leaf design with identical leaves of 60 cm, or different widths 0.6 + 0.8 or 0.6 + 0.9 m. The total width allows you to install them in opening 1 .6 m.
Product marking
There is product marking in accordance with GOST; in practice, manufacturers make their own adjustments and designations. Let's first consider generally accepted norms.
| Type of design | |||||||
| D | In the box | ||||||
| P | Canvas | ||||||
| Blade type | |||||||
| G | Deaf | ||||||
| ABOUT | With glazing | ||||||
| U | Reinforced with continuous filling | ||||||
| Additional markings | |||||||
| L | Left | ||||||
| P | With threshold | ||||||
The height and width of the structure are indicated in decimeters.
You can find individual manufacturer markings with other designations for the sizes of interior double doors, indicating the material of manufacture and the name of the product. Dimensions can be indicated in centimeters.
Standard sizes of swing interior doors with frames
Swing structures are installed in wide openings. Most often - in the living room. They attract attention and become central element and room decoration. It is important to correctly determine the dimensions of interior doors with frames, as errors will immediately be evident.
Canvas dimensions
In apartments built in the last century, they most often used swing doors with a leaf width of 65 cm and a structure height of 230 cm. Currently, manufacturers have expanded the production of models and offer door frames with the following parameters.
| Height, cm | Sash parameters, cm |
| 200 | 60 + 60 = 120 |
| 40 + 70 = 110 | |
| 40 + 80 = 120 | |
| 40 + 90 = 130 | |
| 50 + 70 = 120 | |
| 55 + 80 = 135 | |
| 60 + 90 = 150 |
Door frame dimensions
Swing door frames are made in a U-shaped design without thresholds. This is enough to completely fix the product around the perimeter. As in conventional models, when calculating the parameters it is necessary to leave a gap between the box and the opening.
Different materials are used in the manufacture of door frames. The width can be in the range of 15-40 mm; the optimal size is considered to be 30-35 mm wide.
Door opening dimensions
Manufacturers often indicate standard door opening sizes along with the product labeling.
The width can be determined using the formula:
width of two sashes + double frame width + double gap
The frame width is usually 30 mm, for the gap width you should leave 15 mm on each side.
To determine the height without threshold, you should include in the calculations the distance from the floor surface to the canvas of about 5÷20 mm:
sash height + frame width + gap + height from the floor surface
When installing a threshold, calculating the height is similar to determining the width.
Blade thickness
This is the third characteristic of interior structures. The strength of the entire structure and sound insulation depend on it. Standard thickness blades 40 mm. Manufacturers also offer thinner blades 20, 30, 36, 38 mm.
Products with a parameter of 50 mm can be made upon individual order.
Interior doors of non-standard sizes
Free layouts of apartments and the construction of private houses require a non-standard approach to the design of premises. Often designs from . For such planning, standard parameters door products may not fit.
By individual order it is possible to produce not only canvases of non-standard parameters, but also of an unusual design. In this case, it is important to take into account the thickness of the material, since drywall is limited in the perceived loads.
If you plan to produce a canvas of non-standard size, it is important to take into account some features and limitations.
- Reducing the height of the product is not recommended. Structures of increased height can be installed in rooms with high ceilings;
- when changing the width, it is important to consider the uniformity of load distribution. If the opening is more than 2 meters, additional supporting elements should be installed in the middle of the structure.
As a non-standard technique, you can change the width of one sash to a third or half of standard width. This model is usually called one-and-a-half.
This is important to know! Manufacturing custom-made structures will increase the cost by 30÷40%.
Standard sizes of interior doors: main types and range
The modern market is filled with a variety of products. You can choose quite budget models or elite exclusive samples in different color scheme and design. When choosing, you should take into account the basic design of the room.
Basic materials for making products:
| Photo | Material |
 | Glass |
 | Tree |
 | , or MDF |
 | PVC |
Classification of models by opening method
Manufacturers offer samples with a hidden box. To install such structures, certain requirements must be met:
- the thickness of the walls should not exceed 80 mm;
- the opening parameters must comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations, the vertical deviation is no more than 1 millimeter.
You can choose designs with in a non-standard way opening. They save space, in addition, they will have an attractive appearance. bright accent in design.
- Swing models with a classic opening method, they can be left- or right-handed, with the hinges mounted on the opposite side.
- Sliding– significantly save space. They have one or two canvases moving along the floor surface along special guides.
- Harmonic- several canvases are folded in the form of an accordion; wide openings are required for their installation.
- Rocking are made from 1÷2 panels, the mechanism allows you to open the panels both inside and outside the room.
Conclusion
Interior doors complete the interior design. High-quality installation depends primarily on correctly performed measurements and calculations. When choosing a product, you need to take into account many parameters: material, weight and dimensions of the structure. Manufacturers offer a wide range of models that will fit into both regular and non-standard openings. If desired, you can do individual design designs.

Features of sizing can be seen in the video.
Standard sizes interior doors you need to know for correct installation doors into the opening. To date, no general standards have been established for compliance by their manufacturers. But there are building standards on the basis of which openings are made. The characteristics of the door will be determined from such indicators.
Marking of door products
With product labeling, everything is quite complicated. Of course, there are specific standardized guidelines for designations, but in some cases the general standards may change due to the abundance of manufacturers. It often happens that designs made using identical methods and outwardly similar can be named and labeled differently.
The dimensions of the door directly depend on the size of the opening
First, let's look at the GOST 6629-88 standard, which applies to the manufacture of wooden interior doors for residential and public buildings. Based on the standard, the following markings are applied to products:
- Product type: P – panel, D – prefabricated;
- Type of panel: O – glazed, U – reinforced with solid filling, K – swinging with glass;
- Width of the door structure with frame (dm). Additionally, the following symbols are indicated: P – product with a threshold, N – with overlay, L – left-handed;
- Height (dm);
- Name of the state standard.
In addition to compliance with GOSTs and official model names, factory unique codes may be used.
Designs are classified according to several criteria:
- According to placement in the facility - there are internal (interior) and external (entrance);
- Based on the material, products made of metal, wood, glass and combined options are distinguished;
- According to the filling of the blind panel, there are glazed and blind systems;
- Based on the number of panels, one-, one-and-a-half and two-field options are distinguished.
Fig.1. Sash opening method Standard sizes of swing interior doors
Considering the dimensions internal doors with a box, the height, width and weight of the parts should be taken into account. First, the opening into which the box with the canvas will be inserted is examined. Therefore, the initial characteristics are slightly increased. To adjust the basic dimensions, you can use bars, bricks or sheets of drywall.
Canvas dimensions
If you do not use non-standard approaches, where the dimensions of the opening for interior doors are tied to individual wishes, then the majority of manufacturers are based on the standard indicators. The ratio of the opening indicators and door systems(panels and boxes) based on SNiP are indicated in the table:
| № | Panel parameters, cm | Opening characteristics, cm | |
| Width height | width | height | |
| 1 | 60*200 | 68-71 | 205-207 |
| 2 | 70*200 | 78-81 | 205-207 |
| 3 | 80*200 | 88-91 | 205-207 |
| 4 | 90*200 | 98-101 | 205-207 |
| 5 | 60*190 | 68-71 | 195-197 |
| 6 | 55*190 | 63-66 | 195-197 |
| 7 | 60+60*200 | 128-131 | 205-207 |
According to the DIN standard the ratio will be as follows:
| № | Door parameters, cm | Opening characteristics, cm | |
| Width height | width | height | |
| 1 | 60*200 | 70-74 | 206-208 |
| 2 | 70*200 | 80-84 | 206-208 |
| 3 | 80*200 | 90-94 | 206-208 |
| 4 | 90*200 | 100-104 | 206-208 |
| 5 | 60+60*200 | 134-140 | 206-208 |
If we consider the parameters of any sliding and swing door, each person provides the width that he will use every day. But the state standard offers door widths for kitchens of 70 cm, bathrooms - 60 cm and residential buildings - 80 cm. The market offers designs for bedrooms with a width of 90 cm, and for bathrooms - 55 cm.
Rice. 2. Characteristics of the canvas for indoors It is worth mentioning double-leaf structures, which allow you to emphasize the status of any room. They mainly consist of the same type (60 cm each) or different canvases (60 and 80 cm wide). Of the narrower options, manufacturers offer designs with doors 40 and 80 or 40 and 40 centimeters wide.
The more common width of the canvas is 35 - 40 cm, but the figure can vary up or down (based on the material used and the type of product). For example, the thickness sliding sash can be 2 cm, and wooden panels can reach up to 50 cm.
In terms of height, manufacturers offer products of 190 and 200 cm, but there are also European standards - 210 cm. To order, buyers can purchase products of greater height (up to the ceiling or 2.3 m). Often designers adhere to foreign standards.
Rice. 3. Main characteristics of doors
Box dimensions
Available for sale ready-made options(with box and fittings). This is a U-shaped structure that is placed around the perimeter of the opening. The system allows you to securely fix the panel.
The total height and width of the panel with the box increases by 10-15 cm, but a gap should be left between the wall and the mounting tray, so the parameters of the panel should be less than the characteristics of the frame (to protect against abrasion). The thickness of the panel is compared with the size of the wall and box. Correctly installed doors will be comfortable, look organic in the room, and meet the applicable standards.
Based on the characteristics of the panel, for interior structures the standard dimensions of an interior door frame may vary. Therefore, it is advisable to purchase designs together with cash, frame and fittings.
To make the box, bars of different parameters are used. The width of the material can reach 1.5-4.0 cm, but the optimal figure is 3.0-3.5 cm. If the standards are observed, it turns out reliable design which lasts for a long time.
Rice. 4. Door frame dimensions The thickness of the box and the wall must match, but this indicator should not exceed the width of the opening. For wooden walls the criterion is 10 cm, and for brick - 7.5 cm. Therefore, a box whose dimensions exceed the parameters of the wall cannot be firmly fixed. Otherwise, you can use special additions.
At manual assembly The parameters of the vertical posts must be determined in accordance with the height of the panel, the thickness of the horizontal strip, the size of the gap and the threshold. The parameters of the horizontal strip are calculated based on the width of the door.
Opening sizes
When creating partitions and walls, you can determine the width of the opening according to the standard, which indicates the parameters of products with a frame and fittings. In this case, the width of the panel is combined with a double frame indicator and a double-sided gap. As a rule, it is equal to 1.5 cm. For example, 90.0+3.0*2+1.5*2=99.0 cm.
The height of the opening is also calculated: without a threshold it will be equal to 200 + 3 + 1.5 + 0.5 = 205 (0.5 is the distance between the panel and the floor for air exchange, it can increase up to 1 cm, and for a house with liquefied gas - up to 1.5-2 cm). If there is a threshold, the height of the opening is determined by adding the size of the opening and the parameters of the canvas, the width of the installation seam and the frame.
Rice. 5. Measuring openings The thicker the canvas, the better?
Thick canvases well emphasize the design of a living room made in Baroque, Renaissance or Empire style, and sliding partitions and thin screens will complement the openings of dressing rooms and storage rooms. As the thickness of the door increases, its weight increases, which increases the requirements for hanging fittings. It may be necessary to install additional hinges, which will increase the cost of the structure. Therefore, the canvas should be selected according to its massiveness and other characteristics according to expediency and optimality.
There are many products on the market with sash thicknesses of 30-40 cm. But the range includes thinner ones sliding partitions from MDF (about 2 cm). Recently, structures made of tempered glass with a thickness of 8 mm or more have become popular.
Single and double doors
Double swing doors with two leaves will look effective in the design. The width of the products depends on the model and parameters of the living room passage. Parameters for such doors are sometimes accepted with an increase of 1.5-2.
Standard sizes for dual systems with a box are 120-150 cm. This allows you to install full-fledged double-leaf structures. The width of double doors is 1-1.4 m.
With minimum dimensions, double doors can be offered with one fixed leaf with a width of ½ or 1/3 of the standard width (for example, one-and-a-half options). The other part of the canvas will be complete. With the optimal opening width, identical sashes are installed, which increases the aesthetics and accessibility of people.
Doors with hidden frame
Compared to standard designs, doors with an internal frame have great advantages.
Fig.6. Scheme of a door with a hidden frame The dimensions of the opening must comply with the standards of the door system manufacturer: vertically there must be flat wall, a deviation of 1 mm is allowed in height, and the thickness of the walls should not be more than 8 cm. The ideal gap width is 1.7-2 cm ±1 cm (the gap at the bottom of the sheet 4 is considered optimal).
Doors to order
Factories offer a wide range of interior doors with frames and fittings, including non-standard options. But there are cases where manufactured products do not correspond to the existing opening. In this case, you can adjust it by increasing or decreasing the height and width to the required level. Alternative solution becomes an order for a design with non-standard dimensions.
The cost of making custom doors will be higher compared to purchasing finished products. But this will allow you to realize interesting ideas. For example, you can install compartment doors.
How to measure an opening
If the door has a threshold, the length of the opening can be calculated by summing the height of the threshold with the parameters of the panel, frame and mounting seam.
Rice. 7. Measuring the width of the opening 
Fig.8. Determination of indicators with and without a threshold According to the standards, it is not difficult to find out the width of the panel. For a 90-centimeter opening, a canvas 80 cm wide is suitable. This can be calculated as follows: 90-15*2-30*2= 81 cm, and the extra centimeters will be masked by the platbands.
When determining the dimensions, it is better to take into account the gap that will remain between the panel and the box. But this figure is 1-2 millimeters, so when making approximate calculations it can be ignored.
During construction or renovation, especially related to the redevelopment of premises, the question usually arises about the required dimensions of doorways intended for the installation of interior doors. What are the standard sizes of doorways, what are the standard sizes of door leaves, door block(canvases together with the box), how to correctly determine the required width and height - this will be discussed further. In addition, cases in which it is undesirable to follow the GOST recommendations will be considered, and there is a very high probability that your case is one of them.
What standard regulates the dimensions of interior doors?
The dimensions of interior doors are established by GOST 6629-88 “Internal wooden doors for residential and public buildings" This standard, of course, is very outdated in general, but at the same time, most interior manufacturers comply with it, at least regarding dimensions. The same standard determines the requirements for the size of doorways, and most of those built in the late Soviet period comply with this standard. Another thing is earlier development, but this is a separate topic for discussion.
Most manufacturers still comply with GOST GOST 6629-88 in the production of interior doors
What are the standard door sizes determined by GOST?
For all door leaves there are two possible height sizes:
- 2000 mm;
- 2300 mm.
And the corresponding dimensions of the door block (leaf + frame):
- 2071 mm;
- 2371 mm;
The following possible dimensions are set for the width of the door leaf:
- 600 mm;
- 700 mm;
- 800 mm;
- 900 mm;
- 1100 mm;
And the corresponding widths of the door blocks (leaf+frame):
- 670 mm;
- 770 mm;
- 870 mm;
- 970 mm;
- 1170 mm.
Attention! It should be noted that if the dimensions of door panels according to GOST are observed by almost all manufacturers of interior doors, then with frames the situation is somewhat different.
Due to the fact that many new materials and technical solutions in this area have appeared since the adoption of GOST, the dimensions of door blocks from different manufacturers may differ by up to several centimeters.
Measuring the doorway before installing the door
For example: GOST defines the standard size of the leaf as 600x2000 mm, and the door block for such a leaf as 670x2071 mm. Doors made of MDF, which are quite widespread today, equipped with a collapsible door frame made of MDF, have a leaf size of 600x2000 mm, and the size of the door block is 650x2050 mm. At the same time, door blocks with larger dimensions than those prescribed by GOST, for example 680x2070 mm, with the same standard leaf 600x2000 mm are also found less frequently.
What are the standard sizes of doorways
GOST 6629-88 establishes the following standard dimensions of doorways:
- Heights - 2100 mm or 2400 mm;
- Widths – 710 mm, 810 mm, 910 mm, 1010 mm, 1210 mm.
For example, according to GOST, door leaf 800x2000 mm assembled with a door frame should have an installation size of 870x2071 mm, and the doorway for this door should be made with dimensions of 910x2100 mm.
Attention! As can be seen from the above, if you make a doorway in accordance with GOST, and purchase a door, as in the previous example, with a door block size of 850x2055 mm, you will encounter problems during its installation: such an opening is too large for this door block to be securely fastened in it.
Scheme of door and door frame measurements
Here it is necessary to take into account that GOST was compiled at a time when polyurethane foam was not used when installing doors, and is designed for installing doors using the “wet method”, when the gaps between the wall and the door frame were filled with plaster. In itself, this method has completely discredited itself - I still remember the consequences of such an installation, when in a completely new apartment not a single interior door was closed normally from the first days: under the influence of moisture from the plaster, the wooden door frames twisted even before the start of operation.
Advice. Doorways must be made 20mm smaller in width and 30mm smaller in height than GOST recommends.
If, after creating an opening for installing doors, you plan to screed and lay floors, the height of the opening must be increased by an amount equal to the height to which the floor level will subsequently rise.
Let's consider two cases separately:
- When you need to match doors to an existing doorway;
- When you are going to form an opening, and you need to decide on its size.
In the first case, it is important to consider the following: no matter how much you would like to do differently, you need to decide on the choice of door before the stage finishing walls and This is necessary because, as mentioned above, the dimensions of door blocks from different door manufacturers may have significant deviations from the standard ones, and if you have to take measures to expand or, conversely, narrow the doorway, this must be done before completing finishing works. But you can install the doors afterwards.
Right installed door will please owners for many years
In both cases, we check the tables below, and in the first case we select the size closest to the existing one, and bring the existing opening to this size (we expand or reduce it accordingly), and in case No. 2 we form an opening according to the size from the tables.
And for double doors:
The height of the openings for 2000 mm panels should be 2060-2070 mm, for 2300 mm panels – 2360-2370 mm.
Attention! The height of the openings is indicated for the option of installing an interior door without a threshold. If you need a threshold, then the height of the opening should be increased accordingly by the height of the threshold.
We hope that the information provided about standard door sizes will protect you from standard size errors, which are so often the result of lack of awareness.
Video: Measuring interior doors
Interior doors play a significant role in decorating the design of premises. A wide range of styles, sizes, production materials, and opening mechanisms allows us to please every customer. But with the sizes interior models you need to be careful, because the process of installation and operation of the products depends on them.
What sizes are there?
The dimensions of the passages between the rooms are smaller than at the entrance to the apartment. According to the conditions of GOST, the entrance door opening must be at least 80 cm, and the minimum width of the interior door is 60 cm. But this width is not entirely comfortable, because through such a passage it is impossible to take out or bring in furniture, kitchen utensils and other large-sized accessories.
As for the thickness of interior doors, according to the standard they should be 75 mm. In individual construction there may be deviations, for example, if the wall is made of plasterboard, the thickness will be less.
There are often situations when the standard door leaf along with the frame does not correspond to the old one. As a result, you will need to either adjust the walls or order interior doors, the sizes of which will be individual. Of course, custom-made room doors will cost perhaps even 50% more. standard designs, but you can be completely sure that the door will fit perfectly into the opening, and you won’t have to bother with cashing out.
Individual dimensions of internal doors can be varied, there are no restrictions. An important indicator is the height of the ceilings and the area of the room, because a large model in small room it will look ridiculous.
Often non-standard doors have dimensions:
- height from 2 to 2.3 m;
- width from 50 cm to 2 m;
- The thickness can be varied, even 9 cm is acceptable.
The weight of structures from the above standard sizes remains practically unchanged. Manufacturers cannot make doors too heavy, because a large mass will negatively affect the operation of the structure; hinges and rollers will not be able to withstand the load.
Height
The height of an interior door is the height of the door leaf, which is approximately 5 mm less than the distance from the floor to the top edge of the door frame.
Speaking of doors, there are 3 heights:
- doorway;
- door block;
- door leaf.
The standard height in an apartment varies from 1900 mm to 2000 mm. Manufacturers offer double-leaf doors with leaf heights up to 2800 mm.
If you don’t know how to calculate the height of the door frame, then you need to add 35 mm to the height of the door leaf if the frame does not have a threshold. When there is a threshold, you need to add 70 mm. The height of the doorway directly depends on the height of the block or door frame. For products without a threshold, the opening height varies within 210 cm.
A door frame without a threshold can also be installed in a large opening, and the remaining space can be filled with foam.
Width
The ease of daily use of the door depends on the width of the door leaf. So, for example, the opening for a bathroom should be narrower than for a room or kitchen. For the kitchen, the minimum width of the doorway is 700 mm, and for the living room - 800 mm.
Double-leaf models deserve special attention, which look luxurious at the entrance to the terrace or large living room. As a rule, such products are a combination of two standard identical or different fabrics. The width of double-leaf door leaves can be 1200 mm, 1400 mm or 800 mm.
Thickness
One of the most important characteristics that affect the quality of a product is thickness. There is no standard indicator; anyone can order a canvas of the required thickness. The most common doors are 35 and 40 mm thick; sliding models have a thickness of 20 mm or more.
The thickness of the structure affects the following characteristics of the product:
- strength;
- sound insulation;
- door weight;
- design.
In addition to the thickness of the structure, strength is also affected by the filling - wood, glass or panel.
Weight
The weight of an interior door directly depends on the material that was used for its production and, of course, on the size. When choosing a design, the mass must be taken into account, because wrong decision will lead to operational problems. For example, too heavy doors It will be difficult for small children to open. If you accidentally push a person with a massive structure, you can injure him. It is also worth noting that if the doors weigh more than 70 kg, then additional fasteners will need to be used.
Weight must be taken into account when choosing a design if operating comfort and safety are important to you.
Types of doors
Interior doors are no longer just a line separating rooms. Today it is one of the main pieces of decor. The doorway can be original; in such a situation, double doors are often installed. But they don’t 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 door, as a rule, is always closed with latches and is opened only if furniture needs to be brought in. The door leaf can be solid or with glass inserts.

Different manufacturer standards
Each manufacturer of interior doors offers big choice design options, shades, production materials. Also in the catalogs there are doors with standard sizes, but at the same time, each company will be happy to manufacture custom-made doors. When choosing high-quality and durable products, it is better to give preference to well-known global manufacturers, who certainly will not risk their reputation and will fulfill any order at the highest level.
Among Russian companies, the company “Profile Doors” has gained the greatest popularity., which offers a variety of doors and their components.

Chinese manufacturers can offer customers high-quality fittings. The Archie company produces components for doors that ideally combine high quality and affordable cost.
In the company's catalogs you can find limiters, locks, door hinges and other accessories.
Dimensions depend on materials
Interior doors are made from different materials, on which the quality of the product, duration and comfort of use depend. The material used in production does not affect the dimensions, but does affect the weight of the product. Models made of wood are in demand, they are distinguished by their luxurious appearance and wide range.
Doors to the apartment are made of oak, beech, ash, maple, pine and spruce. The advantages of such models include environmental friendliness; unlike other models, they do not harm human health, have an attractive design, heat and sound insulation. But solid wood doors will have a lot of weight, which is not very convenient to use, especially if there are small children in the house. The dimensions of such products are both standard and customized.
Interior doors made of veneer and eco-veneer are made on the basis of a frame made of solid wood or MDF, which is covered with a veneer plate. The cost of such a design depends on what kind of wood is used in production. The weight of the veneer sheet is much less wooden door. But keep in mind that such doors do not “breathe”, since there is protective film, so the room must be ventilated often.
Laminated doors are made from the material “laminatin” - this is a carefully processed plastic. Such designs are characterized by low cost, so most consumers choose just such models. Laminated doors are resistant to mechanical stress and can be safely installed in areas with high traffic.
Doors coated with polypropylene have only recently appeared on sale, but they are rapidly gaining great popularity. They come in a variety of attractive designs and fit perfectly into various interiors. Such products are of sufficient thickness and have a long service life. Polypropylene structures are practically indistinguishable to the touch from wooden models.
Lightness and affordable price Doors with fiberboard coating are different. It is worth noting the attractive appearance of such products; they will be a wonderful addition to any interior. Doors made of fiberboard are appropriate in apartments and houses where there are children; you don’t have to be afraid that they will injure anyone.
How to measure?
To measure an interior door, you need to determine the following indicators:
- width;
- height;
- depth;
- slope;
- evenness.
Measuring a 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, you need to know the distance in the center and at the top. To complete this task, you only need a tape measure.
Then you need 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 on your own. Please note that new doors are installed after the floor has been laid, it is also recommended to measure with a new floor covering. The height must be determined at several points; the center will be the reference point.
Please note that the width of the opening differs from the width of the canvas, the box is selected a couple of centimeters smaller, leaving space for installation. The measurements are completed by determining the thickness of the elements - this indicator depends on the thickness of the wall.
The box must cover the opening; if it is very large, then additional panels are installed.
How to choose?
Choosing interior doors for a room is not such an easy process as it initially seems.
When selecting interior doors, the following criteria must be taken into account:
- cost - first decide on your budget so that you know which price category doors 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.
Having measured the dimensions of the doorway, choosing the production material and coating, you need to understand what the design and shade of the doors should be. It depends on which room the doors are chosen for. So, for example, for a bathroom they choose a narrow model without glass, but for a living room ideal option will be double-leaf, decorated with glass. If there is a child or active pets in the apartment, then it is not recommended to choose models with glass, or you should install doors with tempered triplex glass.
The following door designs are distinguished depending on the opening:
- hinged - fixed on two hinges, opens in one direction, is inexpensive, and therefore very popular;
- tsargovye – with a stacked design;
- sliding-radius - they open parallel to the wall or hide them in a designated cavity on open rollers;
- folding - they save space; when opened, they are assembled with a book or an accordion, but they do not have the required level of sound insulation. Also keep in mind that such models are fragile and can be easily damaged if handled carelessly.
Regardless of whether you choose interior doors for an apartment or for a private house, any room is formed certain style, which must be adhered to in all details.
Doors are also classified by design:
- Classic - characterized by solid canvases that 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, its distinctive features are straight lines and the absence of decorative elements on the glass;
- High-tech - doors of this style are made of aluminum, glass, MDF, PVC film;
- Baroque - for this style you need to choose luxurious doors with elaborate decorative elements. Here you will see magnificent decor made of expensive metals and the use of precious wood.
In every interior, the main element is the shade. You can choose the color of the canvas harmoniously with the floor and baseboard, but it should be several shades lighter. If you select doors to match the furniture, then 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 opt for models that are several shades darker.
You can choose light shades for the bedroom; they will add lightness to the room and visually enlarge the room. Products with various glass patterns and coatings look beautiful. They make the atmosphere in the room cozy.
Wenge-colored doors look great with a light-colored interior. This noble shade will add luxury to the interior. Models made of wood of any shades always look great both in Khrushchev-era apartments and new buildings.
Do not forget that any door is not just a leaf, it is also component elements, such as a frame, platbands on both sides and “extensions”. Also, the door leaf and frame must be made of the same type of material. A lot of load is applied to the door, so the first place should be not the design, but the characteristics of the model. It must be durable, resistant to mechanical stress and shock.
If you choose products with glass inserts, be sure to check the quality of their fastening; they should not rattle or vibrate. Don’t forget to check what kind of glass is installed on the door and what seals are used; these characteristics affect the strength of the structure.
The modern market for interior doors is able to please every buyer. And in the catalogs you can find models that will satisfy the requirements and wishes of even the most demanding client. Today, interior doors are offered by manufacturers all over the world, including Russian and Italian. Each company has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Tips on choosing interior doors can be seen in the following video.
Interior doors are mainly used to separate two rooms. Today, these structures are made not only from wood. Sometimes materials such as plastic or glass are used. They look great not only in an apartment or house, but also in the office.
Kinds
Doors between rooms serve specific purposes. Among the main functions of these structures:
- partition between two separate rooms;
- stylish and beautiful appearance of the product;
- muffle noise.
The most popular material used to make these structures is wood. Ash and pine are often used. Oak is a more expensive material. The higher quality and stronger the wood, the correspondingly more expensive its price.
Most often, the most expensive models are made from solid massif tree. They match necessary requirements doors High Quality. Manufacturers make them completely differently, which is why they have different colors, different design, as well as various sizes.
Today, doors between rooms made of veneer are quite popular. They are not inferior in appearance at all expensive models from timber. At the same time, their price is much lower and more acceptable for the average buyer.

Buying finished products today will not be difficult. This can be done both in store and online.
Dimensions
Another issue at the construction or renovation stage is determining the size of the door opening. When planning to order these products from a specific manufacturer in the future, you should not worry about these parameters.
Dimensions Chinese door the box is measured according to the standard scheme. The standard size of the interior door along with the frame is chosen in order to save money. For room doors, standard measurements are easy to take.
With a clearly allocated budget, it is better to think about standard opening sizes for further installation doors between rooms. So, you can accurately plan your expenses, because construction stores A large selection of designs of various parameters is offered.
Today, manufacturers offer customers many variations of door leaves based on texture, size and style.
However, before you make a purchase, check the doorway to see if it matches the required dimensions.
As a rule, the optimal parameters that are popular are the following door sizes:
- width – 0.6 m, 0.7 m or 0.8 m;
- usually the height is 2 meters.
Now on sale there are also doors with a width of 0.55 m and a height of 1.9 m, and the thickness of the door frame itself varies from 15 to 45 cm.
If you ignore this information, you may end up in a situation where door frame it simply will not fit into the existing opening, which will lead to additional costs (widening the opening or replacing the door).
In case of expansion, the placement of communications or plasterboard jumpers on the metal frame should be taken into account.
The opposite situation is also possible, when the hole is too large. Its reduction also entails costs when contacting specialized specialists. If you are interested in how to reduce the height of a doorway, you can use wooden beam, drywall or brick.
So, let's define correctly required size opening:
- height and width of the ordered product;
- threshold size (of your choice);
- width of platbands;
- thickness (depth) of the door frame.
When building a house according to an individual plan, it is likely that the opening parameters will differ from the standard ones. There are three options here:
- Less costly in time and money. Make holes of typical parameters and purchase doors of standard sizes that you liked in the store.
- More expensive financially, but with high-quality results. Order a specialist to take measurements from a company that will produce door panels for you to specific sizes. Here you can choose absolutely any model, color, fittings and accessories.
- Alternative. Purchase or order extensions (special strips that are additionally attached to the box to increase its thickness). This way you can install standard interior doors in non-standard openings.
Doors are manufactured in accordance with numerous standards and rules, such as GOST and SNiP. They regulate the dimensions of interior and entrance doors. It is difficult for the average person to understand them due to the numerous abbreviations, terms and numbers.
Common box dimensions are 35 mm thick. That is, the door leaf of the frame is 70 mm – 35 + 35. Now we measure the height. If there is a threshold, the height is shortened by 70 mm, if absent - by 35 mm. So, the door leaf will be 100 mm smaller than the opening in the wall (both in width and height).
When choosing doors, you need to understand what dimensions the door frame has and how these parameters affect the dimensions of the doorway. Each room has its own standards, established and caused by functional features:
- doorways in the kitchen are made 0.7x2 m;
- in rooms – 0.8x2 m;
- in bathrooms - 0.6 (sometimes 0.55) x 1.9 m;
- second entrance doors 0.8x2 m or 0.9x2 m;
- main entrance 1.2x2 m - if single-leaf, and 0.6 / 0.8 + 0.4 m - if double-leaf.
The size of the doorway should be 0.08 - 0.1 m wider and 0.06 - 0.09 m higher than the door leaf.
If, for example, the door dimensions are 0.6 x 2 m, then the opening should be approximately 2.06 x 0.68 - 2.09 x 0.7 m.
A few tips on how to find out the size of door panels:
- A doorway without a door is measured using the “bare” walls. Therefore, you need to dismantle the canvas with the box before taking measurements.
- Measure the distance between the walls in all directions. Write down the smallest number.
- We measure the distance from a point on the floor (choose the lowest) to the top of the opening.
- The depth of the hole is equal to the width of the wall, so it’s worth measuring all three (left, top and right).
If you can't remove the door frame:
- Measure the distance from the center of one platband to the center of the second - this will give approximate results from which you can build.
- Find the distance from the floor to the top point of the casing.
- Measure the thickness of the box, as well as the wall itself if you have one that protrudes.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated here.
When choosing the width of the door clearance, you should take into account the fact that you will have to bring certain large things inside: sofas, tables, chests of drawers, beds, and the like. Therefore, these things will not always “fit” into a hole 0.6 m wide. Optimal width still considered 0.8 m.
- openings should be smaller than the entrance;
- the usual width of entrance doors should not exceed 0.8 m, interior doors - 0.6–0.8 m;
- the standard size (width) of a bathroom door should be such that you can bring washing machine, plumbing, bedside table and so on.
The thickness of the door opening is most often about 0.75 m. The same thickness is offered by frame manufacturers. If you have thick walls, consider the need to expand the box. Even if the difference is insignificant, you will not be able to hide it with the help of platbands.
The wall thickness is also measured at three points. If the number is the same, feel free to order standard design, if not, you will have to saw down the wall in this place. If you do not level the walls, the platbands will not be able to be installed smoothly.
Color
An interior door must certainly be practical, but also match the interior of your room. To choose a color, combine their tone with the tone of the floor, furniture and walls. Sometimes the rooms have various styles. In this case, you should pay attention to neutral rooms, for example, a corridor. Thus, the integrity of the interior will not be compromised.
Among the most popular colors of interior doors:
- universal plain White color;
- To classic style Light shades are suitable - stained oak and wenge;
- warm tone dark walnut;
- cool shade birch trees
Which material to choose?
The cost of doors on the construction market can vary. First of all, it all depends on the quality of the door, as well as on their classification.
There are 5 main types of interior doors:
- Solid wood doors.
- Laminated doors solid wood.
- Laminated.
- Veneered.
- With PVC coating.
Solid wood doors very rarely found on our market. Usually they are either made to order or imported from Europe. The cost of such doors is perhaps the most expensive, but their quality is also high. The appearance of such doors is very expressive, and the high cost is explained by the complexity of their production.
Doors made of laminated wood– a more frequent visitor to our construction markets. They are made from several pieces of wood at once, which are glued together. Despite such a “mosaic” of their design, they are quite durable and have excellent resistance to moisture. Their cost is cheaper than the cost of solid wood models, but the quality is practically the same. This explains their high popularity in the construction market.
Laminated doors appeared on the construction market relatively recently, but quickly occupied their niche. This is explained primarily by their budget. Of course, they are not distinguished by winning appearance, however, despite this, they still find their buyer. Their second advantage is their relative ease. They are made from fiberboard, which is laminated on the outside.
You should not choose very cheap copies, as they can be very short-lived.
Veneered doors found on the market much more often than all other types. Their high popularity is explained by the fact that they fall into the middle price segment, with an optimal price/quality ratio. It should also be noted that the variety of types of these doors is very large, so there is plenty to choose from.
Doors with PVC coated appeared on the market quite recently - the latest. The material of these doors is covered with a special PVC film, which gives the door several advantages - it protects from moisture and is easy to clean. The production of these doors is mainly carried out by manufacturers from China.
What are they?
Thanks to the efforts of designers, a huge number of types of interior doors have been created:
- ordinary single-leaf;
- decorated decorative inserts;
- double-leaf door leaves that give the room solemnity;
- sliding doors that slide along the wall and save space.
Accordions fit organically into a modern interior. In addition, the door leaf is simply an excellent springboard for creative fantasies. On its surface you can draw your favorite cartoon characters or lay out a cheerful panel from craft materials. All this can be done if there is a child in the house.
