Interior door width? Help!
Comments (6)24" for powder rooms and baths, 28" for bedrooms, and 30" for other rooms will still get approval in some areas. I would try to go for at least 30-32" on everything and have at least one fully accessible bath with a 36" wide door, as well as room that could be used as a bedroom with one. 32" is door width and with stops and such it gets down to 31" +/- which could be tight for a wheelchair. The reason that 24" is approved for baths and powder rooms is because of doorswing into the room. If you are going to widen the doorway make sure that you have the clearance inside the bathroom to open the door all the way. That sounds self-evident, but I have been in houses where the door hit the sink or something, and a door that doesn't fully open may be worse than a narrow door that does. For the pantry I would want wider if it was a walk-in, even if you had to do a pair of narrow doors to accomodate door clearances....See MoreWhich wood is best for interior doors?
Comments (11)I really want wood and not mdf... I just think wood looks nicer and I’m worried about off-gasing from the formaldehyde in the mdf. I don’t have mdf in my home, and I don’t want to add any by installing my interior doors as mdf. My biggest issue is also with pricing. The solid core mdf doors cost 1/3 of the price of the fir or poplar. The fir and poplar will cost roughly $505 a door and I have to replace 15 doors. Both prices include the jam and hinges. I haven’t been able to find a five panel door made out of maple or other harder woods. Also, I’m sure the would cost even more. My biggest concern is that I will shell out $8000 for fir doors and they won’t hold up well....See MoreBest Black / Charcoal for Interior Doors and Wall

Comments (6)We had all our exterior door hardware replaced with Emtek levers about nine years ago. The mechanics of them have been good, and they feel nice and substantial. But we got the oil-rubbed bronze finish and I didn't realize that it's a living finish. The finish is rubbing off, which I guess it's supposed to do. We're about to do an interior remodel and will use black Emtek knobs everywhere. Do you have a showroom nearby where you can go see and feel things in person?...See Moresheloveslayouts
