I faced an interesting dilemma - if you take a standard door, then it may turn out that the opening is too narrow, for example, when transporting furniture or for the convenience of elderly relatives. But if you make it too wide, this can affect the thermal insulation and strength of the structure. What standard door sizes are considered the most convenient and functional, so as not to encounter problems in the future?

We had the same dilemma because the old door was narrow, and every time we needed to bring in large things, it turned into a problem. We decided to change the doorway a little and choose a new door, focusing on the information about the standard door size, which we found on https://www.elegantentrydoors.ca/standard-exterior-door-sizes-for-canadian-homes/. We also contacted the specialists of this company and they told us that the most popular standard is 36x80 inches, it fits almost all residential buildings and provides enough space for passage. We chose this option, and now not only is there more light in the hallway, but there is no feeling of a “cramped” entrance. We are very glad that we turned to such qualified specialists and did not make a mistake.
