Doors During Home Renovation and Extensions

Renovation changes the opening

A door that worked before renovation may need different clearance after new flooring, plaster, insulation, wall finishes or a changed room layout. Check the actual finished opening before ordering a final door.

Typical renovation decisions

• Keep or replace the existing frame
• Match new doors to doors that remain
• Change swing direction where practical
• Coordinate new architraves with skirting
• Choose glazing to share light between rooms
• Allow for new floor levels
• Plan handles and locks around room use

Extensions and old houses often meet at one opening

When a new extension joins an existing part of a home, door sizes and finishes may not match automatically. A measured approach lets the new door feel intentional without replacing sound parts unnecessarily.
