Interior doors, wide or narrow? What is best? The answer is what you can afford, what you are willing to pay, or what your contractor is willing to put in your home without any increase in building costs. Rilemar Custom Homes keeps all interior doors at 36 inches wide as a standard installation unless there is some design issue that prevents, or calls for, a door of a different width. Whether that be less width or more width. The 36 inch door is perfect for meeting wheelchair accessibility throughout your home. Most of us never imagine needing a wheelchair in our home, but you just never know. What would be worse yet is to have someone visiting your home that is in a wheelchair, and they are unable to move about your home comfortably due to narrow doors and passageways. We have taken on many jobs over the years where we have had to remodel a home by expanding the bathroom doorways to 36 inches just so the homeowners can use their own bathrooms. In addition, we have removed many tubs to install a standing shower stall where a wheelchair can roll in, or where someone can easily step over a 3 or 4 inch threshold to enter the shower. If you are building a home, insist on a minimum of 36 inch interior doors where possible and save yourself remodeling costs in the future when you may be forced to have wider doorways. Or simply find yourself a builder who installs 36 inch doors as a standard item, more comfort, more savings. If you need doors adjusted to 36 inches or more in your home, or are interested in building a new home with wide interior doors, call us at 956-648-4093 today. Call now and take advantage of our Summer and Fall savings for new homes, up to $3000 appliance package included, if you build before December 31, 2014. How wide are your doors?
