During the repair or reconstruction of buildings, residential apartments, sliding doors are in great demand . Retractable structures allow more economical use of space in the room. Thanks to a carefully thought-out design, they give the room a sense of coziness, reliability and comfort. In addition, such doors serve as a real decoration of the interior.
The design of the doors and their convenience
When opening, the door slides into the wall (a metal frame hidden from the eyes with special mechanisms is mounted in it). It moves smoothly thanks to the rollers and is suspended on a horizontal rail. Such a device allows you to solve several problems at once. Unlike a swing door, a sliding door does not take up space, but gives a feeling of freedom. It saves from one to two square meters of area, so it is the best option for a small and cramped apartment. A door of this design is safe to operate. It can be used to divide the room into zones. By design, the sliding door can be either single or double. It serves as a magnificent decoration of the interior, as designers carefully think through the design. Doors have excellent soundproofing properties. Their hinges are durable and reliable, practically do not wear out.
Design solutions for sliding doors and partitions
Interior partitions are made in a different style and color (one of the most popular is wenge). As design use frosted glass, drawings, inserts made of acrylic plastic or gold. A sliding door is made of chipboard and aluminum profile. An additional charm to such structures is given by the use in the design of bent crossbars, drawings, fusing on glass. If desired, a partition can be ordered from the manufacturers, which will be in harmony in style and color with the furniture set.
Features of installing doors
With all the convenience of the design, its installation involves a preliminary detailed study of the room. The wall into which the door will slide in should not be narrower than the width of its canvas. If you plan to install a double partition, then it will require the central part of the wall. If the aperture is wide enough, then a sliding door with one or two wings is equally suitable for it. When choosing a design, you must take into account the features of the interior. Even a single canvas will look original and stylish if you select it with taste.
Doors can be not only indoors. Automatic sliding doors are suitable as input for a building with commercial or office premises - when opening two or one leafs are pushed back to the side, responding to a signal from special sensors or radars that indicate the approach of a person. For entrance gates, constructions created using the console system are used. In this case, there is no guide beam and rail in the opening. A mortgage is installed, console blocks are welded to it. Be sure to fill the foundation. A guide console tube is welded to the lower gate leaf. The design is complemented by a counterweight. Its length should exceed the width of the opening.
