Bathroom door dimensions

More and more owners of private homes are deciding to equip their plot with a bathhouse. For the Russian man it is a special place where you can rest your soul and body. To create the right conditions in the room, you must carefully select each element. To maintain a high temperature and optimal humidity, you need to choose the right doors. Specialists have compiled a list of standard sizes that can be used when ordering a door leaf or making it yourself.

When choosing non-standard sizes, buyers are faced with one significant disadvantage - a high price. The fact is that such models need to be custom-made. The simplest and most practical option is to buy a ready-made product. There will be practically no difference between such a variant and made to order, except for one characteristic: ready-made variants are made, taking into account the standard dimensions of the sauna door.

When buying a product from a domestic brand, you need to be guided by the GOST standard. If you made a choice in favor of foreign products, it is necessary to consider the dimensional grid used abroad.

Specialists with extensive experience in the furnishings of the sauna room recommend the following parameters:

• height - 1650±150 millimeters;
• thickness - 85±15 millimeters;
• width - millimeters 650±50.

When comparing the above parameters with the standard variants that are available on the Russian market, it is worth noting their reduced size. Such deviations from the standards are quite understandable. The main task of the doors for the bath is to keep the maximum heat, in order to maintain the necessary conditions inside the room. In this regard, small window and door openings are made in the building.

In this case, there are also certain nuances. The bathhouse consists of several locations, each of which performs certain functions.

The following requirements are imposed on doors for the bath:

• high fire safety;
• the presence of a threshold with a gap;
• easy opening;
• durable and reliable material;
• effective heat insulation;
• ecological compatibility of used raw materials.

The first thing that professionals say is that it is possible to install webs from the following materials inside the building:

• glass;
• plastic;
• wood.

The last option is the most used and popular. The natural material has a number of advantages compared to other options. Also, wood is easy to process, and if necessary, you can change the size of the leaf yourself.

Products for public and residential spaces are manufactured according to a certain state standard. This is a normative document GOST 6629-88. The design should exceed the dimensions of the leaf by 10 centimeters. Such a ratio is considered optimal.

In the laughter, attached to this article, clearly demonstrates the ratio of the sides, taking into account the current state standards. Also, experts have compiled a table including European standards. This information will help to make the right choice.

According to experienced craftsmen, the dimensions of doors for the bath can safely be specified in 3 different variants:

• The door leaf without taking into account the frame;
• taking into account the presence of the box;
• dimensions of the light aperture.

Despite the seeming complexity, to calculate any of the options is simple enough. You only need to know one value. The attached table will tell you the correct size.

As a rule, standard sizes of doors to the bath or sauna are adhered to by those who have decided to observe the established traditions.

Doors to the washroom or pre-bath correspond to the usual models for living spaces (inter-room and entrance models).

The entrance door deserves special attention. For the design of the doorway, which serves as the entrance to the bath, choose stronger, larger and heavier door cloths. In terms of size, they differ significantly from the interior models.

The selected option must meet the following requirements:

• wear resistance;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• reliability, in order to prevent an attempt of illegal intrusion.

There are two-leaf and single-leaf variants on sale, which are great as an entrance door. Models equipped with a transom are also used. This is a special window that is located above the opening. Its main purpose is to let the sunlight in. Most buyers opt for single-flush products.

Actual dimensions:

• height - this figure varies between 2007 and 2370 millimeters;
• Width - it may count from 910 to 1010 millimeters.

The thickness of the door depends on the material used in the manufacture. It can be plastic, metal, glass, wood or a combination of several options.

Most users give preference to wooden products. Such a variant will fit harmoniously into the overall style of the room. In addition, high-quality natural material has all the necessary characteristics.

During the functioning of the bath in this part of the room should maintain a high temperature and humidity. In this case, each option has its own parameters and conditions.

The Russian bathhouse is the most common option for most Russians. When setting up a Russian bathhouse, it is essential that there be no draughts in the room during the steaming process. To create the most comfortable conditions, most builders make a choice in favor of compact doors with a high threshold. Such dimensions retain the maximum heat and moist steam inside the room.

The minimum dimensions of the doors:

• height - 160 centimeters;
• width - 60 centimeters;
• the height of the threshold will vary from 15 to 20 centimeters.

The rest of the rooms in the bath are the recreation area, the washing room and the bathroom. The structure itself and the presence of additional rooms depends on the project. If it is a spacious bath, designed for a large number of people, it will include many rooms. Otherwise, the building may consist of a steam room and one or two rooms where guests will change clothes and wash. Doors for the other locations are similar to the usual inter-room options in terms of technical characteristics and dimensions.

The structure and functioning of the sauna differs from the bathhouse and has certain features. In this case, a vigorous air exchange plays a big role. This suggests that the room needs to organize the inflow of air. The temperature of the air rises quickly to a conditioned temperature due to convection, which comes from a heat source.

To do this, leave a small gap at the bottom of the doorway. Its optimal width is about 5 centimeters. In some cases, the gap is made out with the help of blinds. There is no threshold.

Modern manufacturers offer the following dimensional options:

• 1700X700 mm;
• 600х1900 mm;
• 190x80 mm;
• 69x189 cm;
• 800x2000 mm and 800x1900 mm.

The compact models are great for placing in the steam room. Other options can be chosen for the rest of the rooms or for the entrance to the sauna.

Note that the dimensions of the doors depend on the material used in the manufacture. The thinnest doors are made of special tempered glass. Innovative technologies allow the production of glass panels that are not afraid of high temperatures, as well as resistant to mechanical damage and impact.

The largest products are wooden doors, but even in this case, manufacturers use dimensional standards, taking into account the peculiarities of each variety.

When choosing doors also do not forget about the size of the box. When building a bathhouse according to an individual drawing, the thickness of the blades may be more intended for a particular room (compared to the standard dimensions).
