rules for calculating the size of the door leaf

How, then measure the doorway?To do this, we need some values: height, width and thickness of the box.First you need to disassemble the door trim (if you have not put new flooring or other material, be sure to leave a small margin).

  • tape measure our height from floor to top of the wall.
  • width measured from one wall to the other.

Do not forget that the door frame must be removed before making measurements.

thickness or depth of the doorway - in other words, it is the thickness of the wall. If we talk about the thickness of the walls of the bathroom in comparison with the thickness of the wall in the living room or bedroom, it is usually on the order of less than about 5 cm).Also, a couple of centimeters should be added to assembling the door (on each side).

Now we have to calculate the size of the opening to our door. There is a simple algorithm for calculating the size of the door:

  1. Measure the width of the opening, adding 1 - 1.5 cm (gap between the frame and the wall) and 3 cm (at the gap between the door and frame).
  2. To calculate the width, it is necessary to add the value of the width of the web thickness of the box multiplied by 2, and gaps.

height is calculated in the same way, but should take into account the threshold (if any), whose value is about 1.5 cm.

transoms is required in the case, if the width of the box more than 8 cm. This means that you need to"ramp up" of the wall, which is not enough for the installation of doors.
