Sliding interior doors: the device structures and their types

It offers manufacturers a range of very diverse. Existing types of door systems for constructive and functional characteristics are sliding, folding and sliding parallel.

The sliding door systems typically have one or two doors, although there are models with a lot of paintings, but they are less common. The single-door versions is moved on rails parallel to the wall. The principle of operation of the system with two blades is similar. Only in this case the sash during opening move on rails in opposite sides of each other.

Note!All sliding systems, including doors of compartment type, not only look aesthetically pleasing, but also save, unlike the swing-type structures, the space of the room.

You can buy a box off the shelf, which comes complete with a sliding door, or make it yourself. To create a niche use different materials, but the most popular of these is the drywall.

Radius doors have a spectacular and original design. The flaps form a regular rounded shape. Such designs, as opposed to other sliding systems, do not save space, so the radius doors It is installed in the rooms of a large size, for example, in suburban homes, supermarkets, office areas.

Cascading doors consist of several cloths. One of them is stationary, and the rest moved on rails. And every leaf has its own guide that allows you to use the structure as a sliding door partition. All the flaps can be collected from any side, or to divide the space with a single blade.

Design vnutriproemnyh door has two doors. Such a system is installed in the opening. The door leaves can be moved towards each other. In this case, only half remained free passage width.

Sliding design of the collapsible type, "accordion" and "book"

The main advantage of collapsible structures Interior sliding doors is their compact dimensions. In contrast to the type of compartment models of the variant product does not require the presence of a free portion of the wall. When opening structure formed in one side (if single-wing model) or different (if it has two blade) and remains inside opening, occupying part of its width. The thickness of the blades is so small that the loss of usable space is minimal.

• with two guides (upper and lower);
• one guide (top);
• partitions Door "book" type and the "accordion".

In designs with two guide flap is securely fixed in a vertical position. This ensures a high level of thermal and sound insulation. Doors with two guides have one drawback. The lower rails require constant cleaning because they quickly become contaminated.

In systems with sliding doors of the upper guide roller moves on one rail. They can be installed only in a reliable and robust walls. Such constructs comprise:

• aluminum guide;
• sets of profiles intended for arrangement of the frame;
• roller mechanisms;
• stoppers.

The stops are provided in the design to ensure that in the process of opening and closing the shutter accidentally gone runners. Special boxes prevent the appearance of play.

Useful advice! If the door leaf weight not exceeding 70 kg, can be limited to one set of roller mechanisms. For heavier wings of their number should increase.

Advantages designs with the upper guide:

1. Silent opening due to the silicone coating on the rollers.
2. Sash move smoothly due to the presence of ball bearings.
3. The sliding structures of an aluminum profile guide has a higher index of strength and stiffness, so that such systems are not only durable, but also safe.

The sliding system for folding doors flap mounted on the vertical edge of the side profile, mounted on the wall. In the upper part webs are placed carriage equipped with rollers. They move along the rail, which is in the doorway.

Dimensions of sliding structures for zoning apartment

Each country provides its own system of dimensional standards for door panels. For Russian conventional flaps height value is the mark of 2 m. The width of the webs may vary within 0.6-0.9 m. This includes single-roller doors models. In the process of making the webs manufacturers adhere to these parameters, so customers generally do not have problems with the selection of a standard design for the opening.

It is worth noting that the price of a standard-sized systems is much lower than the cost of products to order, customized dimensions. Unconventional options also include a door in the form of an arch or a model, complete with transoms. In addition, the manufacturing cost of products affect the material structure design as well as coloring and quality of fittings.

The most popular materials for making the webs of non-standard widths are mirror and glass. Before you order a door, you must make sure there is enough free space for its opening.

Note!The width of the side walls must comply with the leaf width, or be slightly larger. Otherwise, the door can not be opened normally.
