“She had a little house in Canada…” says an old song sung by Gino Latilla. But who knows how it was furnished? Have you ever wondered? Because the real question when setting up a home, large or small as it may be, is how to use the available space.
Doors are a fundamental design element in designing a space according to its need and become a piece of furnishing not to be undervalued. According to Italian standards, all doors are 2.10 meters tall by 60 or 70 centimeters wide while rules for overcoming architecturial barriers may not be less than 75 cm and mounted on a fixed counterframe. The opening can be utilized opening indifferently to the left or right according to the needs of the person using it and the specific project requirements. As example, doors measuring 60×200 mounted on a frame with minimum dimentions will require a compartment of 70×215. This increases proportionally with larger doors. They are usually framed with either smooth or straight profiles from 4 to 7 cm, enlarging their size and visability.
