Which interior door height corresponds to which room height - collection thread

Here it is assumed that ceiling height is the only proportional dimension for a door height. That is far too simplistic. What about the door width, the positioning on the wall, the room shape and size, the other openings in the room... Be confident in your decision! The door shown below is 2.11 meters high, the ceiling height well over 5 meters at this point. We find that appropriate.

So 2.11 instead of 1.98 should only cost 15 euros more per door according to Türmensch. I would be willing to pay that. Especially since I am only doing that with the doors on the ground floor. We have pushed a bit with the double-winged living room door with glass insert and mullions... I don’t have a total price for that yet. We’ll see... Thank you very much for all the contributions here!

Also 2.11 instead of 1.98 should only cost 15 euros more per door according to Türmensch.

Higher frame width or, as you write, special doors like double doors/sliding doors, glass, etc. are much more the decisive factor in the costs.

By the way, the door person also said that 2.11m is increasingly in demand, but by no means the new standard. When I stood next to the 1.98 high sample doors in the 3m high room, I also thought: "Actually, doesn't matter." But when I heard the small additional cost, I thought: "Why does the dog lick itself between the legs?"

my only statement: doors have consistently grown over the last decades, just like the average size of people. Simple truth.

Simply wrong. Just because you think so doesn’t make it true. I googled some new construction projects in residential construction in the upscale sector in the Hamburg residential area (commuter belt, not directly, more the millionaire villages of northern Lower Saxony) and found only about 10% with higher doors/rooms.

My developers haven’t installed small doors for many years either.

How many developers do you have?

Here it’s treated as if ceiling height is the only proportional dimension for a door height. That’s way too narrow-minded. What about the door width, positioning on the wall, the room shape and size, the other openings in the room…

I already said there are other factors.

By the way, the door guy also said that while 2.11 m is increasingly in demand, it is by no means the new standard.

That makes sense.

How many BTs do you have?

Currently, we have about half a dozen ongoing. They build several thousand apartments per year throughout Germany. At the moment, I have some projects on my desk in Bamberg, Cologne, Berlin. Usually, around 100-150 units per project. More exclusive projects (from 10,000€/sqm) are also smaller.
