Folding door to save space

At the moment there is a huge selection of all kinds of doors. At the same time, more and more consumers prefer folding models, which is easily explained - the chance to please the forehead about the doorframe of an ordinary door always remains, while it is unlikely to fly to the edge of a harmonica door. Just because the folding door does not open.

The doors are divided according to the opening method into folding, rotating, swinging and sliding. So, rotating because of their design features are used in premises with a high flow of visitors, while the usual for us are not. The folding door does not supersede the venerable venerable "representatives of the genus." History says that such models are known since the ancient period. Speaking of Korea or Japan, it is worth noting that a huge number of folding doors in the interior of the living rooms of these countries demonstrate the excellent functionality of the "accordion". Of course, for the entrance to use them at least unreasonable, while in the interior design such models are very convenient. It is also worth noting that the folding door can provide good sound insulation of premises, can have built-in locks that will protect the room from unwanted visitors.

In essence, such doors are a mixture of folding models and conventional blinds, which many of us use instead of curtains. From the latter they took a horizontal rail, ensuring the movement of the roller, and in addition, plates (lamellas), but more powerful. The stem that connects the lamellas, converting them into a canvas, is the same as in the "books". The folding door of the "accordion" type is assembled and fastened according to the usual blinds. Specially for their production different materials are used: PVC, wood, MDF panels.

Unlike swing models, folding and sliding can close any openings. They are spread along the bottom and top guides. The latter thus provides an almost silent motion of the webs. Sliding folding door, the price of which depends on its various components, works on this principle: initially fold the doors, then they slide into the wall. Such models occupy quite a bit of space, completely eliminate the problem of choosing the side of their opening - this optimizes the arrangement of equipment and furniture in a small area.

At the moment, manufacturers offer stained-glass folding doors, photos of which can be viewed above. To ensure rigidity, instead of wooden thin plates, a light frame is used, made of an aluminum or steel profile, where a colored corrugated glass is inserted. Simple versions of sliding glazed walls are also developed - using wooden slats instead of a metal frame. You can also replace the glass with a transparent transparent film, in addition, stick even on a frame of wood washable or film wallpaper.

To create comfortable working conditions in office buildings, these doors are suitable, as well as partitions where artificial leather is used instead of moving plates from plywood. Due to it, the partition can have a curvilinear shape. The fastening of such sliding partitions resembles those used for plywood rigid plates.
