At Henlow Building Supplies, we know that choosing the right door is a big decision, and getting the measurements perfect is the first crucial step. While measuring for a door can seem daunting, with the right guidance, it's a straightforward process.
This is especially true when you choose a Deanta door, which offers a significant advantage with its generous trimming allowance.
While many doors can only be trimmed by a few millimetres, Deanta doors can be trimmed by up to 16mm on each edge.This makes them an incredibly forgiving and adaptable choice, perfect for older properties with non-standard sized openings or for ensuring a perfect fit after new flooring has been laid.
For the most accurate results, you should always measure the door opening, not the old door. For the height, measure at the left, centre, and right sides. For the door width measure at the top, centre, and bottom.
Average these measurements to get your final, precise dimensions. Remember to account for any new flooring or carpet you plan to install, as the depth of this should be subtracted from your height measurement.
The last measurement is the thickness. You can measure your existing door, about handle height for this. If you do not have an existing door in this opening then don’t worry, a standard door will typically be 35mm. If a domestic fire door is required, allow for 44mm.
By following these steps and visiting Henlow Building Supplies for advice & pricing, you can ensure a perfect fit for your new doors.
