Types of interior sliding doors

These products are divided into several varieties.

Double

They have 2 doors that can be moved in different or one direction. The double design allows rational use of free space and is perfect for rooms of any size.

Single

They occupy a minimum of free space and do not clutter up the interior, which makes it possible to equip them with standard or narrow openings in city apartments.

The photo shows single-leaf sliding doors in the living room of a city apartment.

Sliding doors

They are the most popular option. Sliding doors move compactly along the wall, do not take up extra space and can be used in any living space.

Harmonic

It has several segments that move when opened to one or to different edges of the doorway. It can be a folding mechanism, in the form of PVC panels or sashes made of other materials.

The photo shows glazed folding accordion doors in the design of a balcony opening.

Hanging

They are distinguished by the presence of an upper guide, which can be attached to the ceiling or wall, which allows you to maintain the aesthetics of the floor and its covering.

Recoil

They are equipped with a threshold-free system and special wheels, which bear the main weight of the door leaf. In addition, they allow you to add a rigid and reliable support point to sliding models.

Pencil doors

Such built-in cabinet doors conveniently hide inside the wall without disturbing the overall appearance of the interior and are characterized by a high level of sound insulation.

French doors

Translucent French sliding products will not only fill the room with light, lightness and sophisticated charm, but will also visually expand its boundaries.

Tricuspid

They are truly convenient to use and are especially suitable for creating wide openings with non-standard dimensions.

SLIDING INTERIOR PARTITIONS

Sliding partition – the thing is very convenient! A sliding door is convenient because it saves space in your room, is excellent to use, and adds zest to any interior. Sliding doors are installed not only in residential premises, but also in office and industrial premises.
Sliding doors for the home can be divided into two types. The first is when the door goes into the wall (opening) when opened, the second option is when the door opens along the wall, in other words, a sliding partition. With both options you will get the desired result - a high-quality sliding door-partition. In general, we have encountered sliding doors often in our lives. For example, sliding doors in the subway (they go into the opening), or long-distance trains (they open along the wall). Just imagine what would happen if there were swing doors there - how much useful space would be allocated for the banal opening of the door. This means that you need to buy sliding doors for convenience in everyday life and organization of the work process.

A separate point I would like to highlight is the successful use of sliding partitions for zoning space in a room. For example, you can zone a room three to four meters wide, so that ultimately four panels covering rooms can slide into one.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE MORTAR ELEMENT


FAQ:

1. Do the partitions have a bottom guide?

The design does NOT provide for a lower floor guide; only the lower plastic conductor is placed in the floor (which will not interfere with the passage), even if there are 4 panels and they move in one direction, but please note that adding a lower rail to the floor will affect the price to the side reduction in price (sometimes significantly)

2. Is it possible to make a telescopic (cascade) partition (when all the doors move into one)?

Yes you can - there can be up to 6 of them (they will also NOT have a bottom floor guide)

3. How to make a mortgage and calculate the length of the guide and the thickness of the wall?

You need to send a diagram of what you want to do (can be drawn by hand), or see the instructions below

4. Production time and advance payment amount?

prepayment 30%, period from 14 days (plus or minus depending on the season)

5. How to place an order

To register you must write

  • door profile color
  • number of inserts (options are indicated on the website), i.e. appearance
  • insert material
  • Number of doors
  • door dimensions (if you know), or opening
  • How will the doors slide?
  • will a camouflage strip be needed?
  • Do we cut the handle into (how many doors)
  • is a bottom rail acceptable (adding one will reduce the price)
  • Preferably a photo of the opening

6. If you want to call our measurer for the subsequent installation of sliding partitions:

  • to begin with, we suggest calculating the design based on your dimensions and your needs for materials (please send a description of what is required by e-mail, preferably with a photo of the opening) We should at least be coordinated with you on price, terms, conditions in advance
  • Please note that at the time the surveyor arrives, your walls must at least have been removed and you must at least know the level of the finished floor (otherwise his visit will not make much sense)
  • The surveyor measures the finished opening and transmits the information to the office, where a contract is prepared (or edited) for you
  • The measurer is not involved in design (if, for example, you want to invite him into an apartment without walls) and training (if you want to install the doors yourself in the future)
  • price for a surveyor to come out from 1500 RUR

7. and if you still have questions about the design, then this picture is for YOU:


What materials are used?

The material from which sliding structures are made is a very important point when choosing.

  • Wooden. Door leaves made from solid wood of various types are always very popular. They have a natural and natural appearance and look stylish and expensive.
  • Plastic. They have many useful functions, are very convenient and safe to use, have a beautiful appearance and a long service life.
  • Aluminum. Such steel models are characterized by good strength properties and resistance to external influences.
  • Glass. All-glass panels are considered quite popular. They can have various convenient mechanisms, original handles and other beautiful accessories.
  • Combined. They combine different types of materials, such as aluminum, steel, wood or plastic frames and glass, mirror or rattan filler.


The choice of material allows you to influence not only the performance of the door model, but also to further emphasize the given style direction of the room.

Do-it-yourself sliding interior doors are easy

A wide selection of materials for construction, repairs and components allows you to independently realize any design idea.

The creation and installation of a sliding interior door can be done with your own hands without much difficulty.

First you need to decide on the installation option of the structure. The sliding door can be mounted in an overhead or built-in manner.

It is easier for a beginner in this business to cope with the overhead option. Built-in fastening requires more skill and additional work on arranging niches in the walls. In addition, you need to decide on the model of the door itself.

Next comes the preparatory stage in the form of measurements and calculations. To mark the mounted mechanisms, you need to know the width and height of the door itself. When marking, be sure to use a level, otherwise the finished door may turn out crooked.

The main work is installation of guides. It is necessary to know exactly the options for their fastening. It is better to think through all the details of the work in advance to avoid any unpleasant embarrassment.

Rollers are installed in well-fixed rails and secured with plugs. The final stage is attaching the doors to the moving mechanism and adding the necessary fittings to the structure.

A sliding interior door can significantly expand the functionality of a room, making it modern and stylish. After weighing all the pros and cons, you shouldn’t be afraid to take on the job and install it yourself.

The presented photos of sliding interior doors will help you decide on the appearance of this modern design.

Thanks to the stylishness, ergonomics and huge variety of designs of sliding panels, it is possible to choose the most suitable option for the balcony opening. Most often, fully glazed models that allow natural light to pass through are used for loggias.

To the bathroom

First of all, when equipping a bathroom, it is worth considering its important features. Only high-quality and wear-resistant materials are used here that are not afraid of humidity, steam and high temperature.

To the dressing room

Sliding structures can become not only a functional, but also a very original solution for both large and compact dressing rooms.

To the living room

Sliding doors will become a truly significant piece of decor in the room and will allow you to create an amazing design in it. In addition, these products can become an effective zoning element for a small living room, for example, combined with an office.

For veranda or terrace

Fully glazed sliding panels with an aluminum or wooden frame will create unhindered penetration of natural light, create a cozy atmosphere and provide a gorgeous panoramic view.

For the toilet

Products made from moisture-resistant materials are perfect for the bathroom, which will avoid their deformation for quite a long time. For example, these could be practical plastic or glass doors.

To the bedroom

Such designs represent a fairly stylish interior element, which becomes the central link of the bedroom and significantly improves its aesthetics.

In the hallway and corridor

In the corridor there are often canvases with mirror or glass inserts, which make it possible to give a small hallway more lightness and visual spaciousness.

To the kitchen

Sliding models, which have convenient, comfortable placement and save additional space, can be easily used both to design an opening in a traditional kitchen and to separate a kitchen area in a studio.

To the nursery

Door products decorated with stickers with cartoon characters, photo printing, various kinds of applications or drawings must not only create a colorful design for the nursery, but also, first of all, fully comply with all quality and safety standards.

To the pantry

The storage room, due to proper design, turns into a harmonious continuation of the general interior space. In this case, these door leaves are an ideal option to save space, free up space and avoid clutter.

Reasons for moving away from standard designs

Hung doors on rollers

Among the many engineering solutions designed to save space, as well as various room designs, a significant part is occupied by doors on rollers. Roughly speaking, they are a simplified implementation of two standard designs used to create wardrobe doors. Interior doors on rollers, due to their large mass, move quite smoothly, therefore reducing the requirement for mechanical precision, as well as the complexity of the design of the fittings.

Let us immediately note why interior doors with the mechanism and fittings of classic-type sliding compartment systems have almost ceased to be used. The reason is simple: the mechanics provided for strict requirements for the accuracy of movement. The fittings were designed taking into account the minimum horizontal play - we are talking about depth deviation. Therefore, an almost indispensable condition was the use of a lower rail with fairly deep grooves for the passage of the support wheel. This created many problems. While walking on such pads was not particularly difficult, modern household appliances, for example, robotic vacuum cleaners, stumbled and got stuck.

In addition, the roller rails located near the floor surface quickly collected dirt and became clogged, which created an obstacle to movement and also led to increased wear of the supporting element or even the roller slipping out of the groove. The price of such accessories is noticeable, especially since most often the entire set had to be changed. A modern door on rollers solves many of the following problems:

  • Certain design options do not require the use of a floor rail - less effort is required when installing the system, and the installation price is lower.
  • To meet the requirements for high precision of door movement, hanging doors in the lower part are equipped with a simple flag-type stop, which moves along a rather narrow groove in the floor.
  • Hinged doors have the greatest backlash, so special lower roller blocks are often used. Often there is a restrictive part - pads screwed to the floor. The price of such a solution is insignificant compared to the cost of other accessories.

  • Such doors can use a simple furniture pipe as a support, since there is not much pressure exerted on it. The price of the installation kit is reduced, and it becomes possible to install it yourself.
  • Many sets of fittings provide for installation with a sheet of standard thickness. This allows you to turn simple swing doors into doors on rollers. The price is minimal, and all work can be done by hand.

Doors on rollers differ in the type of installation and the principles used in the mechanics of movement.

Varieties of door shapes and sizes

There are several main types:

  • Big ones. Due to their solidity, they will give the interior a special impressiveness.
  • Tall. They have excellent performance characteristics and a truly spectacular appearance, due to which it is possible to turn a standard apartment into a luxurious apartment.
  • Arched. They endow the environment with originality and expressiveness and, thanks to smooth and curved lines, soften the geometry of the room, making its appearance more noble.
  • Semicircular. Correct radius designs have a particularly original and unusual appearance, adding originality to the design.
  • Hidden. Thanks to such an effective design technique as an invisible door, you can not only make the atmosphere unique, but also visually unload the space, bringing air, volume and weightlessness into it.

Sliding door colors

Currently, the color range of sliding structures is not limited to certain shades. However, the most popular of them are the following.

White

Elegant and noble white is considered particularly popular and provides the opportunity to create a new conceptual design.

Gray

Despite its laconicism and restraint, gray color is distinguished by its special character and rich tint palette, which allows you to create a truly unique interior.

Black

Incredibly stylish, but at the same time ambiguous black shade will undoubtedly give the furnishings a luxurious, elegant and slightly glamorous touch.

Wenge

Wenge-colored products always have a more massive and solemn appearance, which is especially advantageous when decorating wide doorways in a room with high ceilings.

The transom is a valuable architectural object, which becomes a fairly effective solution in the case of a non-standard doorway.

Examples of sliding doors in various styles

Application options in popular stylistic directions.

Loft

For the industrial style, designs made from natural wood or rough boards that have an accentuated lively texture or are subjected to an aging effect are often chosen. It is also appropriate to use attic or barn structures with a rail in the form of metal pipes or strips painted in dark gray or black.

Classic

In a classic respectable and aristocratic interior, wooden sliding doors are assumed to have strict lines, proportional design, emphasized design and a prestigious and sophisticated appearance.

Modern

Simple door leaves, in the spirit of minimalism, with decor in the form of laconic or more complex glass inserts, drawer models, PVC products in light, dark or contrasting colors will go perfectly with the modern style.

Oriental

Elegant and sophisticated sliding shoji models are a familiar element of Japanese style. They can have a decorative grille, frosted glass inserts, or be decorated with intricate bright patterns, hieroglyphs or even embroidery.

Scandinavian

Natural wooden or glass structures with a democratic design, combined with a similar Nordic setting, made in light colors, such as white, milky, light gray, beige or sky blue, will be a harmonious addition to the Scandi interior.

Sliding doors made of natural wood or chipboard, in bleached shades, pure snow-white or pastel colors, products with glass inserts decorated with engraving, lattice, floral patterns or antique paneled canvases will add noble charm to the interior in the Provence style.

High tech

Doors with plastic and aluminum profiles, decorated with solid glass or glossy inserts, will especially harmonize with innovative and high-tech decorative elements.

Material for sliding doors

Popular types of materials used for manufacturing:

  • Glass. Matte, transparent, colored, patterned or plain glass products, thanks to such a diverse design, become a bright accent in any room.
  • Wooden. Natural solid wood doors have a fairly high price. Sliding doors can either be made entirely of this material or have decorative wooden inserts.
  • Fibreboard/MDF/chipboard. A more affordable and high-tech option than the previous one. Such door designs have a wide variety of configurations, which makes them truly unique.
  • Plastic. They are a fairly common and relatively inexpensive type, distinguished by a huge color palette, special lightness and airiness.
  • Aluminum. Reliable, safe, durable and resistant to mechanical stress. In most cases, these sliding doors have narrow aluminum frames and glazing.
  • Combined. Quite popular products that allow you to combine and combine a variety of materials.

When choosing a material, you should take into account not only how the door model will look externally, but also remember its functional qualities.

Options for zoning a room with doors

Mobile sliding structures make it easy to change the current layout of a room and create a non-trivial, beautiful and functional interior. With the help of doors of this type, it is possible to separate additional zones or organize the division of a room into compact parts.

Such a multifunctional sliding partition is perfect for zoning both spacious and small rooms and even for visual adjustment of a narrow and long room.

Types of sliding mechanism

In any construction or furniture store, many models of sliding doors are presented to customers. Each option has its own differences and features of use.

Today there are the following types of movable door designs:

  1. Harmonic.
  2. Coupe.
  3. Pencil case.
  4. Portal mechanism.
  5. Double-leaf design.
  6. Three-leaf design.
  7. Radius semicircular models.
  8. Bidirectional designs.
  9. Lift-and-slide model.

Each presented option has its own purpose and original interior style.

Ideas for sliding doors in a niche

For this recess, you need to build in sliding models designed in accordance with the size of the niche, which will be the most optimal solution. In this way, it will be possible to create a functional door structure that will perfectly perform an insulating role and will not take up much space.

How are corner products arranged?

These are, as a rule, double-leaf structures with both doors moving along a rail along their wall.

For more complex designs, customers can use curved doors mounted in a rounded wall or partition.

The technical complexity lies in the curved canvas and the curved rail with the same radius, along which the canvas moves along the wall. The material for the manufacture of radius structures is glass, but the price for them, unlike simple linear doors, is overpriced.

These are complex designs and are mainly made only to order Wardrobe Sliding models are widely used today in offices and other institutions

They are used in arranging exhibitions and stands.


Installation of arc structures is possible

Typically, glass sliding corner doors are installed as an ergonomic option with high light transmission especially for exhibition complexes, thereby providing an excellent overview of the exhibits for visitors. The stands of the stand are equipped with additional sensors and, if necessary, open automatically.
