What Are The Advantages And Installation Methods Of Folding Doors?

In this era of land and money, small houses have become the first choice for more and more users when buying a house. A big problem with small houses is that each space is not very spacious. Therefore, in the decoration design, how to separate the space and choose the right door is particularly important. Now the doors on the market can be mainly divided into three types: swing door, sliding door and folding door. As a powerful tool to save space, folding door is very suitable for small house types. And if you choose the right one, you can instantly make the new house beautiful and magnificent. So let's take you to understand the advantages of folding doors!

Advantages of folding door
① Save space and improve lighting and ventilation
The swing door will occupy the area inside and outside the door, and the sliding door will reduce the opening of the door by half. After the folding door is opened, it can be pushed to the end without visual obstruction, so as to save space to the greatest extent, and also allow more light to enter the room, improving the lighting and ventilation effect of the house.
For the house type with insufficient area and wonderful house type, the space occupied by the folding door is smaller, and the position of the door opening can be reasonably arranged.
② The space is more flexible and open
The folding door can also be used as a space partition, so that the space can be open and independent. When it is closed, it can clearly divide the space functions. After it is opened, it can make the two adjacent spaces open, and the space division is more flexible.
③ Beautiful, magnificent and highly decorative
There are many styles of folding doors. A good-looking folding door can add a lot to the appearance of the home, which is different from the stereotype of swing doors and sliding doors. The half open and half closed folding door makes the whole space more three-dimensional, and the decoration is also particularly strong, which can instantly create a high-level feeling.
 

Applicable space of folding door
● balcony folding door
For the balcony, most families will choose the sliding door as the balcony partition, but at least half of the sliding door is closed, and there is no way to achieve a complete opening effect, affecting the lighting and ventilation effect.
Therefore, if your home is small or the ventilation and lighting effect is not good, you can consider the design of folding doors, which can not only improve the sense of space and ventilation and lighting effect. And after closing the door in winter, it can also play a certain role in heat preservation.
● folding door of living room
Folding doors can skillfully divide the living room space, and at the same time, let the three-dimensional sense of space rise. When the folding door is opened, the space becomes spacious instantly. After closing, you also get a relatively independent space.
● study folding door
If the study is not used frequently and is only used as an auxiliary function area, you can use the folding door to connect the study with other spaces. When no one uses the study, open the folding door and bring the study space into the public area to make the home look more spacious.
When the study is adjacent to the living room, install a folding glass door to make the visual impression of the space more open and spacious, and at the same time, it will not affect the lighting of the living room.
● kitchen folding door
Generally, if it is not an open kitchen, the kitchen door opening is generally only about the width of one door, so for such a small door opening and small internal space, choose a folding door with a narrower door leaf to save more space.
There are also some householders who are worried about the problem of oil smoke and cannot accept the fully open kitchen. At this time, folding doors are also a very good choice, which can not only isolate oil smoke, but also ensure the linkage of space, so as to gain an "open kitchen".
● restaurant folding door
The folding door divides an independent restaurant space, which can not only make the dining more ceremonial, but also make the restaurant function more clear and independent, and enrich the sense of hierarchy and design of the restaurant.
● toilet folding door
Generally, the area of the bathroom is limited. The folding door can greatly save the space in the bathroom, and it will not occupy too much space when opened. It is not only practical and land-saving, but also has excellent appearance.
In addition to the partition of the above space, the folding door can also be extended to indoor windows and cabinet doors. For some rooms that cannot be directly illuminated by natural light, an indoor folding window can be opened on the non load-bearing wall, which not only improves the effect of light and ventilation, but also saves space.
The folding cabinet door can bring more possibilities to the already small space, and the visual effect is more spacious than the flat open wardrobe door. If the wardrobe space is a little larger, it will also have a visual sense of turning into a cloakroom.

Types of folding doors
In terms of materials, the types of folding doors are mainly metal door frames with glass, wood door frames with glass and PVC materials.
▲ metal door frames and glasses are the most common. They are not only durable, but also can be matched with transparent and non perspective fog glass or Changhong glass to protect privacy, with a full sense of sophistication.
▲ the wooden door frame with glass gives people a more moist and natural texture, which is very suitable for the simple and simple design style.
▲ PVC material is relatively low in cost, durable, waterproof, sound insulation and heat preservation, and is widely used.
Non glass folding doors (such as white door cores and raw wood door cores) have a better effect of isolating space. After closing, they seem to be invisible doors!
Installation suggestions of folding door
① Installation method
In terms of installation method, the lifting rail is more convenient than the ground rail, and cleaning is also more labor-saving. Remember to leave 0.5-1cm blank at the bottom to prevent scratching the floor.
② Precautions
Because folding doors have high requirements for parts of pulleys and folding parts, we should try to choose high-quality hardware products, otherwise, it is very easy to have problems, and frequent replacement in the later period will also cause inconvenience to life.
Folding door can not only make the small house more transparent, but also itself is a good decoration. It can improve the appearance. Although the cost will be higher, homeowners with sufficient decoration budget can still try it.
