What is a rotor door?

Fashion has special trends. She constantly presents new trends and returns the well-forgotten old. To date, experts note the growing popularity of rotor doors. Initially, this type of canvas was used exclusively for high-traffic public places, such as restaurants, clinics, hotels, shopping centers and many others. Now they are installed in homes, homes and apartments.

When a customer hears the word “rotor”, this term is associated with some dynamic element.However, this has nothing to do with the door system of the same name. However, they still have one particular feature for two: a tilt-and-slide mechanism, due to which the door leaf moves.

According to external signs, the model of a door with a rotor mechanism looks almost the same as hinged-type products. Another uniqueness of roto-doors, besides the moving element, is the shift function, during which the door rotates around its axis. Due to the special structure of such models are ideal for installation in compact rooms.

The rotor door combines several principles of action at the same time: pendulum, sliding and swing. The roto-door mechanism successfully combined all the best aspects of the above systems. It is worth noting that the mechanism of the door leafs consists of two parts that work together. As a result, the sliding and pivoting functions are performed simultaneously.

This will allow you to make an opening of the required size, which will fit the new design perfectly.

All roto-doors that are commercially available can be divided into 2 types: automatic and mechanical.

This parameter significantly affects the final cost of the product. It is easy to guess that automatic doors are more expensive, but at the same time, it is more convenient to use them, compared to mechanical models.

Due to the special design, the door can open to either side, right or left. With the help of the pendulum mechanism, the user can move the sash at will. During the turn, the door leaf stops perpendicular to the box and does not go entirely beyond its limits. Thus, half of the door remains in one room, and the second - in the other.

If the product quality, the opening will be smooth and easy, without effort. Tight docking is provided by a magnetic lock.

Manufacturing companies engaged in the manufacture of rotor doors, use a variety of materials, both artificial and natural. Particularly common: PVC, MDF, natural solid, tempered glass.You can also find models of plastic.

Experts note that almost any canvas can be equipped with a roller suspension mechanism. The main thing when choosing a base without an expressive and voluminous decor, which can complicate the installation process and placement of seals. In specialized stores you can find kits for glass interior doors.

On the canvas of the above type is installed such accessories:

• dock sealing tape;
• magnetic lock;
• tilting mechanism.

As a rule, all the necessary additional elements are installed on the door leaf even at the factory, during the manufacture of the goods. After all, you need special equipment, tools, and of course, the skilled hands of the master.

Doors may have different dimensions.Given the different layouts, especially in modern apartments of high-rise buildings, a wide dimensional grid is necessary. Some companies provide a service - products to order. Both single-wing and double-wing rotor doors are also on sale.

The advantages of rotary doors makes them attractive to consumers.

• Universal appearance. The canvas of the above type will look great in rooms with different dimensions, whether it is a spacious apartment or a small apartment.

It should be noted that in addition to the canvas, the buyer pays for numerous fittings and, of course, a special mechanism that distinguishes the roto-door from other products on the modern market. As noted above, the assembly of the structure is carried out directly at the factory, which increases the cost of the product.

• Low weight of the product. Manufacturers in the manufacturing process adhere to strict restrictions on the weight of the fabric. It is safe to say that almost all products with rotor mechanisms use materials of a small proportion. Most often used MDF. This is a necessary measure, which should be followed because of the design features of the operating mechanism.

To make it work for a long time and smoothly, you need to abandon the heavy canvas. Otherwise, the system will quickly become unusable.

Many are interested in whether it is possible to make roto-doors on their own by changing and placing a special mechanism on the standard model. However, experts note that it is very difficult to make a product of this type with your own hands. In the process of work there can be many problems associated with the operation of the system.
