The world is advancing rapidly, and the door technology is evolving around it. From traditional wooden doors to contemporary smart doors, the methods we use to secure and access our homes/buildings and offices are experiencing significant transformations. While custom doors are popular in the market, the trend of opting for readymade doors for home and office has gained momentum due to their quickly availability and convenience.
Topics Covered in This Article:
In the following articles, we will explore various aspects of custom doors and the types of readymade doors available for homes and office buildings.
Two types of doors you can get in the market right now –
- Ready made door
- Doors on order
Doors on Order or Custom Doors:
As the term suggests, custom-ordered doors are those where you select the design and material at a nearby dealer or showroom, and then receive delivery within a few days. While you cannot modify the door sizes, you can choose the thickness according to your needs, such as 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, or more.
Readymade Doors for Home & Office
Once again, as the term suggests, readymade doors are pre-fabricated doors that are ready for installation, designed to fit standard door openings without the need for customization. They are available in various materials, designs, and sizes to suit different architectural styles and functional requirements.
Standard Door Sizes:
You can obtain these doors at any time from us or any retailer, provided they come in standard sizes(in inches) like:
Height : 72″, 75″, 78″, 81″, 84″
Width : 26″, 28″, 30″, 32″, 34″, 36″, 38″
Thickness : 30 mm
Customized Height: 87″(7’3″ or 7 feet & 3 inches), 90″(7’6″ or 7 feet & 6 inches)
Customized Width: 42″(3’6″ or 3 feet & 6 inches), 45″(4′ or 4 feet) or more
Customized Thickness: 35mm, 40mm
Regardless of type of material (wood or composite), any dealer or retailer typically keeps stock of standard design doors in common dimensions, especially to cater to customers or clients who need a quick deal. However, availability can vary based on the material you require. For example, WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) doors are often readily available because there are limited design options. On the other hand, for teak wood, laminated doors, or other types with a wide range of designs, you might need to either choose from the available stock or place a custom order.
WPC Doors are readily available in the market
30mm door thickness is mostly standard and readily available in the market everywhere. For thickness of 35 mm, 40 mm, or for any sizes beyond the standard dimensions(height and width), you will need to place a custom order. This applies even if you need specific widths like 26.5 inches or 32.5 inches.
Now coming to the types of doors, here are various types available –
- Wooden doors
- WPC Doors
- CPL Doors
- Metal Doors
If you need quick door delivery, it might be practical to purchase the next standard size and trim it to your required dimensions. Your carpenter or the dealer can usually handle this modification easily. Doors are often designed with margins on all sides to allow for such adjustments, so the overall design is typically not affected by these modifications.
