When decorating, I had a dispute with my family on whether to install sliding doors in the kitchen.
- The family thinks that a kitchen without doors is unreasonable;
- I think the kitchen is small, and installing sliding doors takes up too much space, which is difficult to manage in the later stage.
After some debate, finally insisted on his own opinion and installed an folding door .
At first, my family opposed it, but after using it, they unanimously changed their words and praised it. Today I will share my experience with you. If you have any needs, you may as well use it as a reference.
Why install folding door
all folded, it will not affect the opening of the hanging rail
mainly because it is more space-saving than sliding doors. Because the kitchen door opening is too narrow, installing a sliding door will be particularly congested and impermeable, while the folding door can be used to push and pull. The entire door is only 15cm wide when closed, which saves space and does not affect the opening and closing of the cabinet.
folding door experience
①Space is larger
Folding door can be opened to maximize the opening, allowing the kitchenette and the restaurant to connect, and the space appears wider.
②Permeable
Folding door is not blocked by sliding door leaf, and the fully open kitchen has high transparency and realizes air circulation.
③Not damage to the tiles
hanging rail is installed, the lower part is suspended and does not touch the ground, it is beautiful and does not damage the tiles, making it easy to walk.
④Use flexible
Close the door when cooking to prevent oil smoke from seeping into the room. Usually, hold the door to one side to make the kitchen open, which is easy to ventilate and breathable, or leave half of the door leaf to cover the kitchen cabinet , How to like it yourself, it has higher freedom than sliding door use.
⑤The cost is low
Customized hanging rail sliding doors or linkage doors are expensive , and the price of customized PVC folding doors is half that of traditional sliding doors, which saves money.
Is the material of the folding door solid?
I decorated the PVC folding door with a thickened material design, high toughness and strong enough. I am not afraid of bends and use smoothly. Anyway, I don’t find any problems when I open and close the door back and forth.
Is the folding door easy to clean?
The floor has no track protruding, mopping the floor without barriers; if the door surface is dirty, just wipe it, which is easier to take care of than sliding doors with glass on the entire side. Whether
will leak oil smoke
This depends on the situation. Install a high suction range hood at home, and do not stir-fry spicy ingredients frequently, and simply steam and cook and fry. After closing, there is basically no smell of oil smoke in the room. Even if the door is not closed, there will be no particularly large smoke. What are the shortcomings of
folding doors
In fact, for small apartments, folding doors like are really more practical than sliding doors , but in terms of texture and grade, they are definitely not better than sliding doors or linkage doors.
However, this also depends on the selected folding door material, , such as metal + glass folding door , after installation, the overall texture is not inferior to sliding doors, but the price is higher.
Whether the kitchen is suitable for installing folding doors
depends on personal preferences and actual kitchen conditions. If you want to improve the situation where the kitchen is not open, you might as well install a folding door; if the kitchen is larger and not short of money, it is more suitable to install linkage doors or sliding doors.
Installation of folding doors Notes
Folding doors can be customized online or offline. There are usually two forms: double-opening doors and single-opening doors. Which one is chosen depends entirely on personal needs. Remember to measure the height and width in advance, and be sure to ensure accuracy, otherwise it will affect later installation.
When choosing a folding door, focus on Hardware quality to ensure that the tracks, hanging wheels , hinges and other materials are strong and durable, and avoid failures in later use.
