For wide doors in a limited space it is common to double up doors using two doors which open in opposite directions, or an increasingly popular option are pivot doors, which offer the grand feel of a wider than average door while maintaining space savings and usability.
What is the standard width of a bathroom door?
The most common size for a bathroom door is 32″. Your sliding door, such as a sliding barn door, should be taller than the door opening (allowing for sliding door hanging hardware) and wider as well (usually 1 to 2 inches on either side). Although, in tight spaces bathroom door openings can be as little as 28″ or 24″ inches wide. For spaces that require wheel chair access, doors should be at least 36″ wide to accommodate all ability levels.
When building a bathroom door, be sure that you have considered every eventuality. Particular to bathrooms are concerns about moisture and sound penetration. SingCore panels are particularly suited to harsh environments. We guarantee the structure of our panels for 50-years, which means you are able to count on your bathroom door functioning flawlessly for years to come.
Further, we offer patented foam and wood cores that significantly reduce noise propagation compared to commonly found door designs. Keep your private time private with SingCore.

What is a standard sliding height?
Standard sliding doors in the United States are 84″ tall (7′) and between 36″ and 48″ wide. The most common width is 42″, but may be as wide as 48″ depending on the width of the door opening. Be certain to allow for one to two extra inches of overlap on both sides and at the top of the door opening.
Standard-size exterior sliding door size
Typical exterior barn doors in the United States are 84″ tall and 42″ wide. There is some variation in width from 36″ to 48″ inches. 48″ wide doors are recommended to allow for easy access for the disabled.
SingCore also offers “standard oversize” doors at 8′ by 4′ that are suitable for designs that stand above the crowd without excessive expense. In particular, we are well known for our work with oversize pivot doors, custom sliding barn doors, metal skin doors, and solid “wood stave” doors for higher end applications.
Standard bathroom door size
Standard Size Sliding Doors
Although there is no standard door size, the majority of the bathroom doors in the US are 80″ tall and 32″ wide. Some doors vary between 28″ and 36″ wide. Be sure to measure your door opening, adding extra 1 to 2 inches all the way around for proper door opening coverage.
American standard sliding door size
Although there is no mandatory standard size, interior doors are typically 84″ tall and 42″ wide, while exterior doors are typically 84″ tall and 48″ wide.
Standard sliding door height
Since most door openings are 80″ tall in the United States, 84″ is the recommended height of your sliding door, or barn door.
For a unique or above average look, SingCore recommends 95.5″ tall door openings for installation in a typical residential home, and taller for multimillion dollar homes or commercial spaces with high ceilings. Noe these will require a custom sliding door solution.
