Dimensions

When choosing white interior doors you need to pay attention to the size of the opening with the box and the size of the canvas. They are standard and non-standard. The standard dimensions of the doors are certainly convenient in that, if necessary, the door can be replaced by another without any special problems and selection.

In order to determine the exact performance, you need to make preliminary measurements of the width, height, thickness and weight of elements.

In practice, the following door sizes are most often encountered: in bathrooms the width is from 55 to 70 cm, height - from 190 to 196 cm.In kitchens, the width is from 70 to 100 cm, in living rooms - from 80 to 100 cm, height - 200 cm. The depth of the door frame is usually standard - 7.5 cm. If the width is from 100 to 140 cm, then install double doors.

In addition to individual sizes, you can choose a specific design and shape of the paintings. This will help make the room cozy.

Colour

For painting, you can pick up a variety of bright colors, but with them you need to be extremely careful, due to the fact that they fit only to a certain style in the interior. Therefore, in most cases, to cover interior doors, apartment and house owners choose the classic white color, which is always in fashion.

Paint and varnish products for door panels must be selected taking into account certain characteristics of the rooms where they will be installed.

It is necessary to take into account the temperature indicators and the humidity level of the room. An important criterion in the choice of paint is also the material of the door covering. Paints with any components are used for structures made of solid wood, and MDF and veneer are more capricious, not all paint and varnish products are suitable for them.
