Design standards are designed to protect citizens and facilitate the production of doors. If there were no such rules, the manufacturers would make the doors of various sizes. This can significantly complicate the process of selecting and installing models and negatively affect the profitability of their production.
Standard parameters
Regardless of the material manufacturing material, the parameters of the balcony doors are universal, because they are used to produce various modern models.

For such doors is characteristic relatively low price, durability and functionality. In blocks under the windows, heating radiators are installed. They have the following standards: Width - from 0.6 to 0.8 m, the height of the door canvase varies from 2 to 2.1 m.

Such options are found in French balconies. To create an optimal microclimate on the sides, a heating system is installed.
Folding
These are unusual and interesting designs that are most often found in private houses. They are installed in wide openings. Such models have a standard height, and their width varies depending on the size of the passage and the number of units used.
Before purchasing a specific model, it is important to pay attention to the discovery mechanisms: the doors must be smoothly open and not to make any noise.
If the doorway is planned in the house under construction or it is necessary to redo the old room, it is important to choose the optimal doors parameters so that a sufficient amount of light falls into the room. If a person lives in a cold area with harsh winters, then Doors should close tightly, otherwise the houses will be "walking".
How to find out the necessary dimensions?
In order not to make a mistake with the size, it is important to make measurements correctly. The algorithm is presented below.
- It is necessary to find a blank sheet of paper and pencil. Draw a sketch of the door.
- The measurement results must be applied on each side of the picture.
- It is better to measure the doors in several places to achieve maximum accuracy.
- Measure the door is necessary both from the inside and outside.
If the opening is plastered, the measurement results may be inaccurate.
Calculation of height and width
To calculate the height and width of the doorway, it is necessary to take advantage of the following formula: A + B - 4 cm, where A is the designation of the lumen on the sides between the slopes, and B is the width of the slope.
To determine the height, there is a similar formula. However, it is important to measure the door on both sides.
Definition of thickness
This parameter is no less important, so it is not less thorough to measure it. According to the standard, the door thickness should be 7.5 cm. But modern developers can change this parameter, which is due to the special methods of construction and decoration of premises. Also, the width is affected by the material of the manufacture of walls, which can be made using bricks, blocks of non-standard sizes or other new materials.
If you need to make the door to order, the wall thickness will be an important parameter. But if the door is already installed, you can warm the room with the help of special door sobers.

The price of the option depends on the policy of manufacturers - some of them do not greatly overestimate the price in the production of structures according to individual parameters. However, it is impossible to forget that non-standard options require high costs, and the process of their production is long, so they will always differ in price. Also, the installation of standard models is considered a simpler and easy process, so its cost is significantly lower.
