Interior doors on casters: features

Recently, the door on the rollers have become very popular among modern buyers. Products with an original design can rightly be called innovation in the world of door production. Such designs significantly save space and perfectly perform decorative functions.

The problem of missing square meters often troubles many people, because not everyone can buy spacious housing with many large rooms. That is why more and more “tricks” began to appear in the decoration of the premises, which make life easier for people, especially in small apartments, and among them are interior doors on rollers, the features of which appear from the first minutes of their acquisition.

Species

Modern interior partitions on rollers can be purchased in such options:

  • Coupe. Installation of the structure should occur at the initial stage of repair work, as it is likely that redevelopment of the room will be required. To open the door while hiding, you need to make a wall with the correct groove U-shaped.

If we compare such a model of sliding systems on guides with other types of partitions, then it should be noted that this type is characterized by good insulation due to the fact that the movable flap connects as closely as possible with the opening, and does not hang over it.

  • Roto door When opened, the sash rotates perpendicular to the entrance opening and simultaneously moves to the side. These interior doors on the rollers are in demand because of their versatility and ease of use: they move very easily, without creating noise, without difficulty opening both to the right and to the left.
  • Folding structures ("Books" or "accordions") is often installed in dressing rooms and storerooms. They are vertical elements connected by metal loops.Details of a cloth develop when opening as an accordion.

In addition to the options described above, there are cassette interior partitions. This is a kind of metal case that hides inside the wall. During the opening, the flap (one or two) travels to the false wall.

Advantages and disadvantages

The design of interior doors on the rails can hardly be called complex and intricate. In the process of opening the door leaf moves parallel to the wall along a special guide. The latter may be one or two - only at the top of the partition or at the top and bottom. There are also single and double sliding doors. Such systems on rollers move on suspensions for castors.

There are many advantages at the doors of such a plan:

  • They save space indoors. When opening do not take up additional space, do not block the path, do not close certain parts of the room that I would like to watch.
  • They are installed in the doorway, above it and on the ceiling, that is, in different versions.
  • Do not need a door box.
  • Another plus of such systems is the lack of a need for a threshold.With this configuration, the presence of the lower guide is not necessary, due to which the floor covering is not exposed to mechanical stress once again.
  • Aesthetically more attractive than swing counterparts.

In addition to the listed advantages, sliding doors on rollers have a wide range of design and materials used, so you can choose the design for any interior. They are also easy to use, work silently and safely, any strikes on partitions are excluded. These features increase the service life of doors and make them popular and in demand.

But despite a number of advantages, there are doors on rollers and cons. Sound insulation and thermal insulation indicators do not always meet the expectations of customers. The opening sash takes up additional space at the opening, so this moment should be taken into account before the furniture and other attributes of the internal filling of the room will be placed. Not always the customers are satisfied with the price, although, as a rule, it is this criterion that indicates the high quality and reliability of the product being purchased.

Materials and Design

In the manufacture of doors on rollers, as a rule, the same materials are used as in the production of classical swing structures. The doors from the natural array of different types of wood have always been and remain at the peak of popularity; they often buy models from natural veneer. This moment testifies to the fact that the modern buyer values ​​above all the safety, which is guaranteed by natural raw materials, beauty and other positive qualities.

Timber gives the interior of the room a unique appeal, an atmosphere of comfort and nobility.

Also choose consumers and doors of MDF panels, fiberboard. Their cost is an order of magnitude smaller than an array of wood, but the external data is no worse.

As decoration manufacturers use glass elements, stained glass. At the same time glass can be of the most different form, color and texture. There are models with frosted glass, painting, silk-screen printing. With the help of these original inserts you can get unique solutions. For example, the sash of wood with monograms on glass will fit perfectly into the interior, made in the style of Rococco.

Place in the interior

Doors on rollers are produced in a variety of ways, which is especially important at the time of creating the interior. If the door is mounted on the door jamb on the outside of the room, then in this case you need to take care of the design of the doorway from the opposite side.

The design of the canvas should not differ in style from the interior decoration of the room. That is, if a room is decorated in a chebbi-chic style, which allows the use of different shades of pink, then the doors should be chosen in the same direction. No gray, black, brown - only iridescent colors and only warm shades.

Models of all interior partitions retain the original integrity of the room in which they are installed. Closed doors will serve as an excellent separator for two different residential areas, but with open panels the space should become one, therefore this nuance should be taken into account in the process of choosing a door and creating an interior in a house or apartment. For example, the doors on wheels can close the working area, but when open, they will help to connect the space of households together, making the living room and office room for negotiations.

Sliding hinged doors are successfully mounted between the living space and non-residential. For example, they can be installed between the living room and the terrace, in the opening between the corridor and the entrance to the guest room. In the first case, it would be logical to buy glass sliding doors. They perfectly pass additional light, expand the space in the summer when opened.

Sliding doors can also be used for technical areas. They can perfectly separate the pantry from the rest of the area.

Care rules

To delay the time of replacement of sliding doors, they need to properly care and adhere to certain rules of operation.

First of all, you need to ensure that no moisture gets on the door leaf, but if the liquid is still spilled, the structure should be wiped dry immediately. Otherwise, the door leaf may skew. This tip applies to wooden systems. If the doors are made of another material (plastic, glass), you can not worry about their wet surface.

It is necessary to constantly monitor the condition of the guides. If dust or debris has accumulated in the rails, the operation of the door must be stopped until it is completely cleaned of dirt.Otherwise, the process of closing / opening of the canvas may be difficult, and even worse - the whole system will become unusable.

It should smoothly and without sudden movements to cover the sash. Such careful operation will prolong the service life of roller mechanisms. The worst outcome with the energetic opening / closing of the door is the release of the lock, as a result - the “departure” of the sash from the rails.

In addition, it will not be superfluous to check the status and functionality of the hardware. Much cheaper and faster will cost the timely replacement of roller mechanisms, rather than the replacement or repair of guides.

Cleaning of such door systems is best done with special cleaning agents. Then the door on rollers for many years will delight the owners with its beautiful appearance and excellent performance properties.
