In addition, the leaf of sliding doors can be made of one material, without inserts and luxurious spectacular glass elements that increase the cost of the structure. But the hardware in such doors is always in plain sight and has more serious functions, and thus cannot be cheap.
  • Saving space. Quite often, you have to give up buying 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 go around it with caution. Sliding doors will help deal with that problem.
  • Complexity 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 certainly be offered to the trading company that sells them.
  • Lack of choice. This misconception arises among those who take into account only the classical models. Modern sliding doors are suitable for any interior and can be made for any finish and opening width.

In fact, if the door is of high quality and a modern sliding mechanism, then the sound insulation of such a structure is quite good. And dealing with odors with modern hoods and built-in fans is quite simple.

The selection of sliding doors is extensive. For those who prefer an interior in neutral colors, 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 sliding or swinging, have the same or very similar canvases. Then a single line will be traced in the interior.
