The popularity of sliding doors, first of all, is determined by saving space in small -sized apartments and small offices. Their design allows you to easily move the canvases in the required direction, while they will move along the lower and upper guides. However, there is a variant of sliding doors, which involves moving them only in one upper guide. This type is much more convenient to operate, while the assembly of such a door and its subsequent installation are simplified. However, such sliding structures are lying less reliable and unstable to the loads.
To provide the doors with additional reliability and strength use the “shoe”, the task of which is to achieve the stability of the lower guide.
Sliding rooms and ways to install them
The indoor doors are sliding
There is an external and internal method for installing indoor sliding doors that can be bought in the online door store. The external method involves the installation of the doorbell on the outside relative to the wall. By installing the door in the internal way, you will additionally need to resort to the decoration of interior partitions. In any case, the reliability of the structure will depend on the correctly fixed guides and high -quality accessories.
It is very important when installing sliding doors to adhere to the basic rules. Especially it is worth paying attention to the process of leveling the floor and preparing places of attachment. The design mechanism must be tested for serviceability during the acquisition of the door in the store.
For the manufacture of sliding structures, materials such as wood, glass, MDF, aluminum, composite are used. Mirror doors look original. Doors with stained glass inserts also look rather unusual.
Among wood panels, pine canvases are especially popular. It happened mainly due to the cheapness of this material. In addition, many people like the patterns on wood coating – light with dark crossings and stains. However, this material is not resistant to loads, since it is quite soft. An insignificant blow to a pointed object can leave a zabina on the surface, due to which the aesthetic appearance of the door will be spoiled.
More reliable, and, accordingly, they are an order of magnitude more expensive, are the canvases of oak, beech, maple. Looking through the photo, the wooden interior doors of “accordion” look much more spectacular, but besides this they have a high level of wear resistance.
Doors from MDF, although they are cheaper, their operational period is still shorter. The environmental friendliness of such material is also in doubt.
