Hello, my name is Jhonny and welcome to my blog. Doors are an essential element in every work, they fulfill a decorative and protective function, but when choosing and installing, what specific characteristics do you choose?

When one is going to buy or have a door made, the first thing you should realize is in which direction the door should turn, it may be something obvious and essential but more than once because of that fact the installation has failed.

As for the measurements of a door, it depends on the use that is going to be given to the door and the place where it is going to be placed, for example, the door of a bathroom is not the same as that of a bedroom, it is assumed by For example, in a bathroom we should not make large changes, so let's say that a width of 70 to 75 centimeters in the step sheet would be more than enough, otherwise, for example, when we are going to use it for chair access of wheels in this case the minimum passage, the passage light should not be less than 85 and better than 90 centimeters.

In the bedroom, in a living room, a dining room if they are environments or premises where we should be passing with larger furniture, typical case tables, chairs, cabinets, beds in this case the minimum clearance that an interior door should have It should not be less than 80 or 85 centimeters and remember, I am talking about light free of steps.

As for height, there is not much history because the normal thing is that the normal height is from 2 to 2.05 meters, exceeding that level will have to do with the fact that the house is inhabited by people who have an average height greater than the average or for example when looking for some visual effect to give it greater importance.

With my little experience, but with the advice of people skilled in the trade, I can affirm that when installing a wooden door with a wooden frame, it is convenient that the back part of the frame that is in contact with the wall be painted with some asphalt paint. In this way, you will be protecting a material that is porous like wood from the possible action of moisture that may remain inside the wall where you are going to fix it.

Another experience that I have learned over time to fix wooden frames on the walls, staples or screws are usually used that are normally installed 3 lengthwise, in the event that the frame is more than 10 to 15 centimeters it is important that this type of frame, staples or double screws are installed, in this way we will avoid the natural movement that frames usually have of generating a detachment from the wall, they usually move because humidity affects them, in this way by having a double anchor we will be restricting that movement and preventing cracks from forming between the frame and the wall.

As for the main door, it is the most important, they are usually a very special case inside the house because it shapes the way the house is shown towards the visitor, it is a form of expression, it has a symbolic effect, I would say very important and many Sometimes it is this effect or aesthetics that is sought to design them beyond common sense or functionality.
As for the materials, there is no universal law that says that one material is better than the other, there are different varieties to choose from, for example, wood, aluminum, PVC, or steel, if, for example, the main entrance is exposed outdoors without any type of protection, perhaps it would not be a good option to opt for wood because wood requires practically continuous maintenance in that sense, for example, if you like the texture of the wood or the appearance of the wood a lot, aluminum or PVC give you the possibility of imitating the practically to the point of not recognizing if it is a natural wood or not and the most important of all this without any type of maintenance.
I hope the information is useful when making a decision when you visit this beautiful country, don't forget to support me and we'll see each other next time, bye.
greetings dear friend @jhonnygo excellent your content regarding the doors and it worked according to the space that they have to cover, in architecture we can see exactly as you mentioned how emblematic the main doors are, for example the doors of the churches always have a peculiar design, greetings thanks for the content :)
Well in this particular it is a very particular case, the churches are symbolic and invite you to pass through and a door with two wings is the best, thanks for mentioning it. Greetings.
Dear @jhonnygo. Do you have a Discord or Twitter account where we can connect with you?
hello, no, I don't know what Discord is and I haven't opened twitter for a long time; it is better that you write to the mail, thank you

No worries. We already sent you an email. Thank you.
I find the advice on how to know where to place a door and its respective measurements very interesting. When making digital plans, I must be very aware of which door I want for the bathrooms and that it is different from the bedroom door and that at the same time it is not take up more space on the wall.
That's right, every detail is important, and that is taken care of by the architects who are the masters of space.
Cheers
