What types of kitchen sliding doors are there, and how to choose a kitchen sliding door?
There are many ways to partition a kitchen, and sliding doors are one of the more popular ones. Sliding doors are not only convenient to use, but also easy to clean and save space. So what materials are kitchen sliding doors made of? How to choose kitchen sliding doors? Let us explain it to you one by one.
1. Types of kitchen sliding doors
Two-track sliding door
Two-track sliding doors have many unique features. First of all, it adopts a two-track design, making pushing and pulling easier and smoother. Not only that, sliding doors can also save space, which is especially suitable for rooms with small spaces. Whether in the bedroom, kitchen, or living room, you can easily achieve space separation and privacy requirements.
Multi-linkage sliding door
The multi-linkage sliding door can be said to be a new internet celebrity! The so-called multi-linkage sliding door means that multiple door leaves can cooperate on the track. Pushing one door leaf will move synchronously, which not only saves effort but also opens a larger space. However, ordinary three-leaf sliding doors do not have such good controllability. It is also more laborious to operate entirely by its pulley. The most valuable thing is that its space utilization rate is relatively high, it can expand the kitchen space as much as possible, and it can also have a partitioning effect. It also has a very good appearance.
Hanging sliding door
The design of the hanging sliding door breaks the form of the traditional flat door. Its smooth sliding and smooth lines not only make the home space appear transparent and concise but also visually extend the space. Due to the trackless design of the lower rail of the door leaf, it is not easy to accumulate dust, effectively avoiding problems such as door leaf jamming caused by dust accumulation, and greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning work.
Ghost door
The ghost door is actually what we call a hidden sliding door, which uses the door leaf to cover the track, so that the track and the door leaf are integrated, and the track cannot be seen from the front of the door leaf no matter where it is moved, thus realizing the track is hidden. When opened, the door leaf can also be hidden in the wall to save space and maximize space utilization.
2. How to choose kitchen sliding doors
1. Look at the profile section
Aluminum profiles on the market are divided into original aluminum ingot profiles and recycled aluminum profiles. The cuts of original aluminum ingot profiles are shiny and burr-free, not easily oxidized, and have good hardness and toughness. The cuts of recycled aluminum profiles are dark and have burrs, the cost is relatively low and the quality is good. Poor. The thickness of sliding doors on the market is usually between 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm. If they are too thin, they cannot withstand the pressure of the glass and will easily deform, and the sliding feel will not be good.
2. Select track
It is best to inlay copper strips on the kitchen threshold stone because the kitchen has to go in and out several times a day. If the lower track is too high, it is easy to trip, especially when children play and run fast and cannot see the ground when entering and exiting the kitchen to stew. times, the chance of tripping is greater. The track strips should be copper strips or hanging rails so that they will not trip or affect the appearance.
3. Check the quality of the pulley
The sliding door is divided into two sets of upper and lower pulleys. The upper pulley plays a positioning and smoothing role, and the lower pulley plays a load-bearing and sliding role. Stainless steel ball-bearing pulleys are generally used. The outer ring is made of nanofiber material, which has low friction, is smoother, and is more durable.
4. Look at the glass
It is best to choose Xinyi tempered glass. Glass accounts for most of the door area. Compared with ordinary glass, Xinyi glass has higher strength and heat resistance, better transparency, and optical effects. The transparency of the glass directly affects the entire sliding The aesthetics of the door. Glass styles are diverse and decorated. You can choose brightly colored art glass or simple ultra-white glass. If you like grids, you can also make simple grids in the hollow.
5. Look at the workmanship
Check whether the corners of the door leaf group are smooth, whether there are any obvious gaps or unevenness, whether the upper and lower cover plates of the door frame lock hole are connected smoothly, whether the joint between the frame and the lower track strip is tightly integrated, etc.
