The main entrance plays a crucial role in the aesthetics and Feng Shui of your home, making size selection a challenging task. Follow this article to discover the most common and standard main door sizes.
Below are the standard dimensions for various types of main doors, including 2-panel and 4-panel ones, according to Feng Shui principles and the Lỗ Ban ruler. Join us as we explore these dimensions.
Main Door Sizes According to Lỗ Ban and Feng Shui
To measure the dimensions of the main door, you need to use a door frame measuring tape of 52.2 cm (a hydrographic measuring tape), which you can either purchase on the market or use an online door frame tape to check the good curve and avoid the bad one. The 52.2 cm door frame tape is divided into 8 large curves, each large curve is 65mm long.
Refer to aluminum Xingfa doors.
The 4 most beautiful curves are Quy Nhan, Thien Tai, Nhan Loc, and Te Tuong. You just need to measure the door size according to the correct measurements corresponding to the beautiful curves marked on the tape.
According to Feng Shui, the size of the main door must be suitable for the area of the house, if the main door is small then there will not be enough room for good luck to enter the house. If the main door is too wide, no matter how much wealth and opportunities come in, they will not stay for long. Also, it is not advisable to make the house door too high, as this will easily lead to disputes and dissipate the positive energy.
Here are the recommended dimensions for main entrance doors of residential houses and villas according to Feng Shui and standard measurements:
- Height: 7.5ft – 8.5ft – 9.3ft – 9.6ft
- Width: 5.3ft – 6.9ft - 7.6ft – 8.1ft – 9.6ft – 10.2ft – 10.9ft – 12.3ft– 14.8ft – 15.6ft.
