It is not always possible to install doors of standard sizes in all rooms. In order not to leave the opening open and accessible to anyone, you will have to install a non-standard entrance block, optimal for a particular case, suitable in size and material. The purchase and installation of such a product has some features compared to conventional doors.
Peculiarities
Custom doors are almost always made according to individual order, you have to wait longer to receive them than the usual ones described in the catalogs of manufacturers and suppliers. Installation will also inevitably be complicated.
At any factory, door leaves with a width of 60, 70, 80 and 90 cm and a height of 200 cm are considered standard. Some enterprises have also produced products of other sizes - 40 and 55 cm in width, 190 cm in height.
Anything that does not fit these dimensions can no longer be considered standard. When submitting such an order, be prepared to encounter restrictions. Some companies make atypical doors in increments of a millimeter, others - no less than 5-10 centimeters. And there are factories where such tasks are not performed at all.
It is also worth considering that they are not released anywhere interior doors below 180 and above 230 centimeters. The increase in cost of the closest standard analogue is at least 30-50%.
The difference between a non-standard door and an ordinary one can be expressed not only in the fact that it is wider or higher: solutions of unusual shapes are often found. In many designs, atypical fittings are installed, the opening of the sashes and the number of them differ.
Kinds
The shape of a non-standard door can be arched or radius (curved, in other words).
But also arch is not always the same: in one version both the opening and the canvas are rounded, in the other - only the top of the canvas.
Radius doors mainly sliding in their format, or perform the function interior partition. A radius door is sometimes equipped with round leaves - concave, convex, both at the same time, but regardless of the shape, they are almost always made of tempered glass.
The radius door is universal; it can be used in a hotel, business center or trading floor, and in the apartment small area. Both sidewalls and transoms are placed in the opening simultaneously with the main panel.
Non-standard interior doors for large openings most often sliding, equipped with several canvases at once. But it is very difficult to give recommendations in such a case without knowing the specifics of your case.
Please note that the more canvases, the more guides should be, fixed from below or from above.
The canvases move both in one direction and in different directions, depending on the design.
Input rotary doors It is advisable to use it where a lot of people pass. This is a design with two, three or four doors that rotate like a carousel. It can be set in motion either by those passing by themselves, or by automation (motion sensors, blocks that set a certain rotation speed).
Almost always used braking systems, preventing excessive acceleration, and opening systems for emergency situations.
Materials
For a long time now, door manufacturers have not limited themselves to using natural wood . They use a wide range of materials, and the consumer is forced to understand all the intricacies of them.
- Metal the designs are quite original, and if experienced designers work on them, they will be able to attract everyone's attention. There are widespread options in which the outer part is covered with MDF, the inner part is all-metal (or they are swapped). Decorating with forged parts is very attractive, but remember that it makes the product heavier.
- Wooden doors non-standard dimensions are used in:
- shopping centers;
- office buildings;
- institutions for leisure and entertainment.
- Plastic non-standard doors can be used in a variety of places, they are practical, and the ease of processing of this material allows you to create uniquely beautiful structures based on it. In addition, the availability and low cost of PVC are very important for private customers. Commercial organizations I'm attracted by the ability to easily dismantle such doors and transport them quickly to a new location.
It is possible to buy a non-standard wooden door at a fairly low price, if you prefer a frame covered with chipboard, hardboard or slats. In most cases, to make the structure more attractive, even budget products are covered with veneer. For strength panel frame there is no calculation, so this is more a way to divide rooms than to protect the entrance to the house.
The undisputed leadership in strength and service life is occupied by paneled doors made of quality wood. The solid array is very aesthetically pleasing and can even fit into a space designed according to all design rules. But to protect the surface from moisture, heat and cold, a coating of MDF boards is used.
Glued solid wood is not much inferior in terms of aesthetic characteristics and strength, it is relatively cheap, but it retains heat less well and can be deformed during thermal compression and expansion.
Metallic or plastic door can be anything, but most often they are made black, white, or brown.
Natural wood allows you to “play” with shades, achieving very original look. Thus, the ash tree can be red, brown or pink, the color of beech varies from pink to yellow-red. The increasingly popular wenge wood is always yellowish, cherry wood is slightly pink at first but will then darken.
Various styles
The door is not just a functional element; its role in the design of space is very large. But that's why your own style door block so important.
Concept classic rather vague - this word can denote both an ancient motif (in Greek or Roman versions), and medieval Gothic, and Baroque (including its most sophisticated form, Rococo).
Important: no matter which of these styles you choose, doors designed in accordance with it are in no way suitable for a small space.
Country and Provence are quite close to each other, but still there is a significant difference between them, which should not be forgotten. In the city, country music is too rude, but provencal style It completely allows you to get away from any heaviness and pretentiousness.
Please note: if you choose a door in the Provence style, you will either have to redo the entire interior of the room in the same vein, or put up with inconsistencies in the design.
Typical colors: cream, white, terracotta, beige, light green and blue; For a door, a white paint on a purposefully aged surface is best suited. When choosing country, you can choose either pastel shades or very bright tones.
Vintage the options no longer focus on simplicity and light elegance, but on pronounced old-fashionedness. Their advantage is the ability to be used harmoniously in any environment, including studio apartments. However, for the latter it is much more appropriate to use loft doors, which help divide the space into isolated sections.
Doors are no less effective at separating it. V Japanese style - but they are made only from oak and beech, and are not available to everyone for financial reasons.
Minimalism has now won the palm among door styles, due to its undeniable advantages:
- stealth;
- emphasizing commitment high technology;
- facilities;
- thoughtfulness and absence of the slightest excesses;
- compatibility with any design approaches.
Of course, you are not limited to these options - you can also focus on functionality modern, on ergonomic style high tech, on the magnificent originality of ethnic motifs. The main thing is that the result suits you in all respects.
How to choose?
Non-standard doors for a private house - if the opening is only slightly larger than the standard indicators - are “accordions”, sliding or swinging open. When the required height is more than 250 cm and the width is more than 150 cm, an arched shape is preferred.
If the width of the arched opening is sufficient (from 120 centimeters), it is possible to install both double-leaf and single-leaf doors made from lightweight material. You don’t have to limit your choice to options with strictly identical doors - usually only one is used, and the narrow one is opened only when necessary.
Please note that the swing door version plastic block Suitable only for openings no wider than 180 centimeters. If they are larger, you will have to choose between the “accordion” and the “book”.
In an apartment with a small area, in order to gain at least a little free space, you have to inevitably narrow the openings or make them located at an angle. By using folding doors, you can easily transform a room, optimizing it for work or leisure purposes.
For country houses, both built several decades ago and carried out according to completely new projects, are often characterized by deviations from standard dimensions. You need to approach the purchase and installation of doors as carefully as possible; consultation with a designer will obviously not be superfluous.
Custom-shaped doors are becoming increasingly popular due to the diversified development of homeowners and a new vision for interior design systems. The modern rhythm of life dictates its own rules for the arrangement of residential premises. Almost every house has interior doors, entrance doors, doors for utility rooms, which help create the necessary sound insulation and zone rooms. Most modern buildings have non-standard shapes doorways. Many residents try to diversify the design of their home and change the shape and size of the doorway. Such openings require unusual door systems.
What are non-standard shaped doors?
There are non-standard shaped doors various types and designs.
Arched - the doorway is made in the shape of an arch, and the doors repeat this shape. Doors of this shape can be either double or single leaf. This shape of the door fits snugly into the door frame, which allows it to provide complete sound insulation. 
Triple swing doors - a door that consists of three leaves when opening, ideal for large premises such as a dining room or living room.
Sliding doors - perfect option for small rooms where you need to save space. They are assembled using a roller into several sections. This door design does not have sufficient thermal insulation and will not provide protection from external sounds.
Lifting doors are similar in mechanism to sliding doors, only they are assembled upward and are more suitable for offices, garages and other utility rooms.
Pendulum doors are a design mechanism that allows them to open inward and outward. During installation, the door is attached to the wall and floor, because it does not have a door frame.
Revolving doors are not particularly in demand for the home, because they cannot fully protect against external noise and do not maintain the thermal insulation of the room. They are ideal for dressing rooms and boudoir.
When choosing a door shape, you must first decide for which room this door will be.

Order non-standard interior doors in St. Petersburg and Moscow
You can order any doors Not standard sizes in salons. Contact information is on the Where to buy? page.If you do not want to overpay 20-50 percent for non-standard interior doors, then you need to decide on the doorway in advance.
You need to start from the doors you like, the variety of which can satisfy even the most fastidious taste. Basically, doors are produced in standard sizes: 2 meters high and 60, 70, and 80 cm wide.
Helpful information:
Less common is a standard with a width of 40, 55 and 90 cm and a height of 1.9 meters. The thickness of the door frames can vary in the range of 1.5-4 cm.
Table of standard opening sizes
Depending on the room, standard door sizes may be used.
This is how they usually put it:
- in the bathroom and toilet, the height of the opening is usually from 1.9 to 2 meters, width 55-60 cm, depth 5-7 cm.
- in the kitchen height 2 meters, width 70 cm, depth 7 cm.
- in the bedroom or living room, the height of the doorway will be 2 meters, width 80 cm and depth from 7 cm to 20 cm.
- if the bedroom door has double doors, then only the width will change: it will be either 2*60 cm or 40+80 cm.
After plastering works and leveling the walls, the depth of the doorway will increase accordingly.
These dimensions of doorways are very difficult to overestimate. After all, if you did not take them into account in your calculations, you may encounter a problem when your door frame does not fit into the opening. And not every opening can be enlarged; sometimes this is impossible due to the specific layout or design of the wall. If this bearing wall, then you will also face a number of difficulties.
Even a simple wall from plasterboard it is not easy to reduce due to transfer metal profiles. IN in this case you will have to overpay for non-standard sizes of interior doors.
There is also the opposite situation, when the doorway is much more doors. Here you will also overpay specialists when installing the door, for narrowing the opening.
An unpleasant situation may arise when, as a result of reduction, the platband cannot close the hole in the doorway. In this case, you will need to seal up the uncovered sections of the wall, glue wallpaper or lay tiles. It’s good if the room hasn’t been glued up yet, but if it has been, then everything will have to be re-glued.
Therefore, even at the project stage, you need to decide on the size of the doorways, then you won’t have to overpay for non-standard doors or redo the opening.
What you need to know to calculate a doorway:
- height and width of the proposed door
- door frame thickness
- box width
- width of platbands
- the box will be with or without a threshold.
Suppose you need a door measuring 2 by 0.8 meters and 2.5 cm thick. To calculate the dimensions of the doorway, you need to add the dimensions of the frame to the dimensions of the door, plus an installation gap of 1 to 2 cm on each side.
Figure y shows a diagram of a doorway with a door and dimensions. Using these data, we can easily obtain the opening width of 800+30+30+10+10+4+2=886 mm or 88.6 cm.
You can find out the width of the frame on the website of the manufacturer of the doors you like.
- with a threshold of 2000+30+30+10+5+3=2078 mm. or 2 meters and 7.8 cm..
- without threshold 2000+30+10+5+3=2048 mm. or 2 meters and 4.8 cm..
Please note that the most common thickness is 7.5 cm and therefore many manufacturers adhere to this particular size.
If the wall is thicker or thinner than the box, then you will need to install an extension or cut the box lengthwise, respectively. Without these operations you will not be able to and everything will look much worse.
Most manufacturers of entrance doors make them in accordance with the most common openings of modern apartment buildings The exception most often is country houses, where customers prepare individual openings in accordance with their architecture.
It happens that the size of the doorway does not meet the standards followed by the manufacturer. In such cases, find suitable option in the store it becomes impossible. Then the owner starts looking to order. What pitfalls might he encounter?
