Today the market offers a very wide range of interior doors for every taste and color.
When choosing doors for a bathroom, it should be understood that the door will be exposed to the increased humidity and temperature typical of bathroom premises. Based on this, you need to choose a material that will be resistant to moisture.
Let's find out what kind of doors are put in the bathroom? How do they differ from each other and what are their pros and cons?
Solid oak doors are very durable, covered with several layers of varnish. But this option is very expensive. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider oak doors as an option for budget repairs.
Installing laminated doors in the bathroom can be a good choice. But at the same time, you should choose doors whose ends are covered not with special paper, but with PVC tape. In this case, you will warn yourself against replacing the doors due to the fact that the melamine peels off at the ends.
Laminate flooring imitates any texture well and washes well. Doors coated with such artificial veneer are not expensive.
Laminated doors can have a wide variety of designs. The appearance of laminated doors is shown in the photo below:
Plastic doors to the bathroom
You can consider the option of installing plastic doors. They are moisture resistant, very lightweight and do not need any special maintenance. Plastic doors to the bathroom can be considered an excellent choice.
The only drawback may be that plastic doors, as a rule, are produced in white, and if this color is not suitable for your interior, then it is better to take a closer look at doors made of other materials.

PVC coated doors
An excellent choice would be doors covered with PVC film, which reliably protects doors from splashes and minor scratches. Doors covered with PVC film can be selected for any interior, since the coating perfectly imitates the surface texture of wood and can be painted in any color. Such doors are not expensive and look very beautiful.

Recently, glass doors for the bathroom are gaining more and more popularity. And this is not surprising. The advantages of glass doors include exceptional moisture resistance, high strength of tempered glass, small thickness, ample opportunities for decorative design.

Bathroom door width
As a rule, the width of the doors to the bathroom is taken equal to 60 cm. But before buying a new door, it is better to clarify the required dimensions.
To determine the required width and height of the bathroom door, you will need to take measurements by measuring the doorway with a tape measure.
You need to measure in cleanliness between opposite sides of the opening. In this case, the distance between the bricks should be measured, and not between the surfaces of the plastered slopes. But the depth of the opening must be measured taking into account the finish.
After the obtained dimensions for the installation of the door frame, lay a distance of 15 mm, and at the distance from the door leaf to the door frame - 3-5 mm.
If your door has already been purchased and it does not fit into the existing doorway, then the opening will have to be increased. In this case, the dimensions of the opening are determined in the reverse order based on the dimensions of the door leaf.
When measuring, do not forget that a door frame with a sill is placed in the bathroom.
