There is a sliding door between the kitchen and living room. Kitchen with sliding door. Comfortable

For an opening in a miniature kitchen, sliding doors are perfect. Such designs are hidden in a special niche (cassette version), you can also make a canvas that is pushed into the closet, or place it along the wall. Partitions often delimit the common space of the kitchen-living room into separate zones.

Design features

The sliding system is fundamentally different from the swing models. It has no door frame, no hinges. Such doors consist of a decorative U-shaped box that frames the opening, or of a special cassette that allows the leaf to completely slide into a niche in the wall.

The main elements of this design: canvas and special guides. The door can be made of solid wood, chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, and these materials are also combined in certain models, combined with glass elements.

For opening, certain fittings are installed - “compartment” handles. They are mounted flush with the canvas, so the fittings do not interfere with the movement of the system.

Sliding partitions are more expensive than a swing system by about 25-200%. This difference is explained by the presence of a retractable mechanism (in addition to the box and the door itself). The difference in price is also affected by professional installation ( self-installation undesirable).

Sliding doors-accordion occupy a minimum of space in space.

To do this, you can remove the wall (or part of it) that separates these two rooms and decorate the opening with an arch. But in this case, it will no longer be possible to separate the living room and kitchen again. And the need may arise, for example, so that kitchen smells do not get into the living room or to create a more intimate atmosphere in the living room.

But those who decided on this innovation in the interior, appreciated the advantage of such a solution. Sliding doors harmoniously fit even in small apartment or they can effectively zone a large room.

Important advantages of sliding doors

Such doors have a number of advantages:

sliding doors are capable of two rooms and even in a room to separate the bedroom area from the dressing room or study, without taking up extra space, which is very important in apartments with a small area;
in a studio apartment, in which there are no blank partitions, such doors, together with stationary elements, successfully replace part of the walls and provide insulation;
parents of babies are well aware that children can pinch their fingers with a swing door, and a door that swings open from the wind can hit them hard. Design sliding models much safer, especially since modern and high-quality fittings allow them to be securely fixed;

Answers on questions about sliding doors

There are many questions and misconceptions about the use of sliding doors:

A sliding door is considered expensive. Of course, if we compare the price of a sliding door and a cheap swing type model, then the first one is certainly much more expensive. But with swing doors of the middle price category, there is no particular difference in price. In addition, the leaf of sliding doors can be made of one material, without inserts and luxurious spectacular glass elements, which increase the cost of construction. But the fittings in such doors are always in plain sight and have more serious functions, and thus cannot be cheap.
Space saving. Quite often you have to refuse to buy furniture that is great for a kitchen or room, due to the fact that then it will not be possible to close swing door, or you will constantly have to circumvent it with caution. Sliding doors will help to cope with that problem.
Difficulty of installation. The fact that a sliding door is difficult to install is usually said by those who, for the sake of economy, install interior doors on one's own. But any door requires professional installation, and in that case it works and looks much better. And the installation of sliding doors will definitely be offered to the trading company that sells them.
Lack of choice. This erroneous opinion arises among those who take into account only classical models. Modern sliding doors are suitable for any interior and can be made for any finish and width of the opening.
The same erroneous opinion is the belief that sliding doors allow smells to pass through and any noise is heard through them. In fact, if the door is of high quality and has a modern sliding mechanism, then the sound insulation of such a design is quite good. And to cope with odors in the presence of modern hoods and built-in fans is quite simple.

The choice of sliding doors is extensive. For those who prefer an interior in neutral tones, it is possible to choose veneered doors, from natural wood, laminated with wood texture, and for bright interior in rich colors you can pick up a colorful door leaf. It is desirable that all doors in adjacent openings, regardless of whether they are sliding or hinged, have the same or very similar canvases. Then a single line will be traced in the interior.
