In mansion-scale homes, numerous differences exist in comparison to regular-scale homes. As such, the size of the door is one of them, and although these differences are not discussed regularly, they remain an important component of the home. In today’s blog, we will look at the differences between Regular Sized Doors, Tall Sized Doors and also discuss where each door size should be applicable and where these would fit best.
The Difference Between Regular & Tall Doors
The Difference Between Regular & Tall Doors
Size
In New Construction Homes, homes that have a ceiling height of around 8’ to 9’, have doors that are of the size of 6 '8". While homes that have a ceiling of 10’ or higher, will typically have 8’ and higher heights. The width of the doors does not have a significant change, because a significant difference in width might not look good in the first place, and it could also take up a large amount of space. It is advised that homeowners install tall doors in homes that have a ceiling of 10’ and above because installing tall doors in a 9’ ceiling height home will make the house look rather smaller.
Weight
In addition to an increase in the height of the doors, it increases weight too. The difference is not significant in interior doors, but the taller the doors are for your exterior home, the more they will weigh. Although, this is not something to take into consideration when buying a door for your home as they will be installed in such a way that it won’t take much effort.
Durability
In addition, the increase in weight also signifies the durability of the doors. The more money you invest in your doors, typically the more durable and better looking they are. While purchasing a tall door for your home, have an accurate measurement of the size of the space where the door will be placed, because any incorrect measurement can cause you to install the wrong size door, which may end up ruining your property and the expensive door too.

These are some of the differences between Tall Sized Doors, in comparison to Regular Sized Doors. It is very important to take into consideration the measurements of the ceiling height, and the size vertically and horizontally in the area where the door will be placed. As discussed previously, adding a taller door in a shorter height ceiling than advised can result in your home looking smaller, and also limits you if you were to plan to add crown molding.
