  • Doors with seals (including drop-down acoustic seals)

  • Custom-made doors

Main considerations for prehung doors

Door Height

Considerations:

  • Ceiling height: Taller doors suit higher ceilings and reduce visual gaps

  • Design style: Over-height doors enhance contemporary or minimalist interiors

  • Functionality: Taller doors may require stronger hinges and framing

  • Availability: Standard heights are readily stocked; over-height may have longer lead times

  • Flooring: it's important to account for the finished floor level, especially if flooring will be added after the door is installed. Common flooring types like tiles, carpet, timber, or vinyl can raise the floor height by 10–30mm or more, which may cause the door to bind or not clear the surface properly.

    • 1980 mm (most common)

      • Suitable for standard residential ceilings (typically 2400 mm high)

      • Widely available and cost-effective

    • 2100 mm

    • 2200 mm

    • 2300 mm

    • 2400 mm

      • Used in modern homes with higher ceilings

      • Creates a more spacious, architectural feel

      • Often custom-made or ordered through specialist suppliers

Door Width

Considerations:

  • Accessibility: Wider doors (860 mm+) may be required for wheelchair access or commercial compliance

  • Structural Support: Overwidth doors may need reinforced jambs and heavier-duty hinges

  • Design Impact: Larger doors create a more open, architectural feel and are ideal for modern homes or feature spaces

  • These sizes are commonly used for single-hung interior doors in residential and commercial settings:

    • 410 mm – Ideal for pantries, narrow cupboards, or tight spaces

    • 510 mm – Compact rooms or secondary access points

    • 610 mm – Small bathrooms or wardrobes

    • 710 mm – General interior use

    • 760 mm – Bedrooms, living areas

    • 810 mm – Most popular full-width standard door

  • Used for feature entries, double doors, or accessibility-focused designs:

    • 860 mm – Suitable for wider access and mobility compliance

    • 910 mm – Common for double door setups or larger rooms

    • 1000–1200 mm – Often used for statement entries or commercial interiors

Leaf Styles

A door leaf is the main panel of the door that swings open and closed.
