Ordering Doors Online from Dali: How It Works and What to Prepare

Buying doors online can feel unfamiliar, especially for something that has to fit your walls exactly. In practice the process is straightforward if you prepare a few things in advance. This article explains how ordering from Dali generally works and what to have ready, so the experience is smooth from the first click to the final installation.

Step 1: Browse the shop

Start by looking through the doors on the Dali shop. You can compare designs, finishes and styles at your own pace, at home, with the rest of the family. It helps to have a rough idea of the look you want for each room and whether the room is dry or humid, since that influences the finish you pick.

Step 2: Choose design, finish and size

Once you find a design you like, select the finish and the size that fit your project. Available finishes include PVC, melamine, HPL and painted options. If you are not sure which finish suits a particular room, check the product description or ask the Dali team before ordering.

Step 3: Confirm your measurements

This is the most important step. Common interior door leaves are around 80-90 cm wide and 200-210 cm high, but your openings may differ, particularly in older buildings or villas. Before ordering, prepare the following:

• The width of the opening, measured at the top, middle and bottom.
• The height of the opening, measured on the left, center and right.
• The wall thickness, including plaster, so the frame can match.
• The final floor level, or the thickness of the flooring still to be laid.
• The opening direction you want, and which side the hinges should be on.

Write these down for each door and label them by room, such as master bedroom, kids' room or bathroom 1. If you are in doubt, ask your carpenter or contractor to measure. A few minutes here prevents costly mistakes.

Step 4: Place the order and confirm the details

Review the order summary carefully: designs, finishes, sizes, quantities and opening directions. Mistakes in swing direction are among the most common, so double-check every door. Make sure your contact details and address are correct, because delivery depends on them.

Step 5: Delivery

Delivery is arranged by Dali once the order is confirmed. Be ready to coordinate with the team about the address and a suitable time to receive the doors. Details such as timing and any fees will be confirmed during the ordering process.

What to prepare at home

• Clear a path from the entrance to the rooms and make sure the lift or stairs can handle full-height leaves.
• Choose a dry, flat, protected place to store the doors until installation, preferably laid flat or leaning gently, away from water.
• Have someone present to receive and inspect the doors.
• Book your carpenter for a date after the order is confirmed.

When the doors arrive

Open the packaging carefully and check each door against your order: design, finish, size, and direction. Look over the surfaces and edges for damage. If something is wrong, take photos and contact Dali promptly. Keep protective wrapping on until installation is close, so surfaces stay clean.

How to choose what suits your home

• Room by room: make a simple list of rooms, measurements, finish and swing direction before you start.
• Humid rooms: pick moisture-friendly finishes such as PVC or HPL for bathrooms and kitchens.
• Style: keep one style and color family through the home for a cleaner look.
• Budget: decide on a total budget, then allocate more to the most visible doors.
• Timing: coordinate ordering with your flooring, painting and carpenter schedule.

When your measurements are ready, browse the Dali shop and start building your order.
