I am about getting wooden frames because I will be plastering in few weeks pls can you give an insight on prices and what to look out for.

This is a lovely thread, all the door experts should be here sharing info, ideas etc

Sir preggi,

I've been away for a while now. I'm sorry I'll like to defer your request to experts door and wood workers.

I also rely on the judgement and expert recommendations while double checking with my design principles.

Chief, welcome back.Very well then.

Good day house. Someone posted a toilet door issue here earlier and he needed doors that can open outside rather than inside. The only response she got was to consider aluminium doors that will be fabricated to open out.
I would still love to ask, aren't there foreign doors that open outside?

I don't see this as a big issue because from an engineering point of view, it depends on how the hinges are positioned. And the door handle remains in position but sorta akward. Where I see the challenge is if where the door lands is not in same side as the hinges' position.

However, my questions are thus:

1. Is it better for the doors to be fixed before tiling or tiling before doors are fixed?

2. Is it better to use PVC doors for the bathrooms? If not, won't wood get spoilt due to water?

3. Flush doors VS Panel Doors. What are the merits and demerits.

Good evening all.
1. Yes, its better to install doors before tiles, it's d level from d doors dat d tiler will use to screed.

2. If there won't be traffic in d bathroom, Pvc doors will serve, if otherwise, u can use American panel doors, it's a steel coated door. The steel prevents water to get to d wood.

3. Flush door and panel doors are basically the same , both will serve thesame purpose. Just that panel doors have some architectural designs and flush doors are just plane.

Am sorry for the late update. You can always call or watsapp me 08037956267.

I am into Interior designs and building finishings. I will only talk about an appropriate toilet and bathroom doors that comes in both 2.5 and 3ft. It's a steel wooden door. No corrosion, no green algae formation over the years as we experience on just wood materials doors. You can embrace this and you will love it. Specified kitchen doors available also as well as good quality room and entrance doors from Turkey.

thank you very much for the response. Unitl now, I took where doors open to for granted, as I am a lay person. The question was asked on based on need. When the need arose, I suddenly discovered I have never seen an imported door that opens outside.
My building plan didn't include a door at the base of my staircase (from the siting room) but along the line we decided to include a door for security purposes.
To allow for opening of the door, the staircase behind must shift by about 1m to allow for door opening into the staircase base. If the straicase shifts by that much, it will become too steep for comfort.
The other option suggested was to allow the straicase to be and install a door that opens outside.
I have also noticed this too in very small bathrooms where the wash hand basin and the WC will not allow the door to open into the toilet.
So if it is theoretically possible, are such doors available in the market?

so prices you gave me are special?!

I have installers, not all carpenters will be able to install the doors, you will also have to provide your brick layer to dress the wall after the doors are installed. you can contact me through watsapp or call. The doors comes with frames. If you are using steel coated doors, you won't need a sub frame because it comes with a 4 inches steel frame, if it's a normal mdf or hdf door, you will need the sub frames installed first because mdf and hdf frames are not water friendly, you can not cast or chourk the frames.

Feel free to contact me for more clarification .
