The door, it would seem, is a common thing in every home. Her choice is very important, since the door can not only emphasize the design, but also be practical.
Few people do without such a thing in the house as interior doors. Unless studio apartments, which have a fundamentally different design. The choice of interior doors is now huge, especially in the visual and aesthetic terms, but you should also be aware of the features of their design. According to functional features, interior doors are of several types:
1. Swing.
2. Sliding.
Hinged doors are familiar to our grandmothers. These are ordinary doors that are hung on the opening with the help of hinges, swing open to any room. But the sliding ones appeared relatively recently, are built into the wall, operate on the principle of a compartment using rollers and guides.
Both swing and sliding doors have their pros and cons. The undoubted advantage of sliding in front of swing - this, of course, is space saving. Hinged doors, if they open, still take up quite a lot of space where you can’t put anything and don’t put anything. With sliding, such problems do not arise, they move either behind the wall or into a niche in the wall itself. This is especially in demand in small apartments (or in large ones with a large number of residents), where every square meter of roads.
On the other hand, if the swing door mechanism is simple, and they can be installed independently, then the installation of sliding doors carries many difficult moments that can often only be performed by a specialist, especially if the design of such a door is hidden, i.e. when the door goes into the wall. Such an installation, as a rule, is not cheap.
There is another option for sliding doors - this is the door of the "accordion" type. Such doors consist of slats (slats) that slide and slide. They are attached to one side of the opening. As a rule, this is an economical option for small spaces, not distinguished by special durability and quality.
