Today, there is a huge selection of all kinds of doors. At the same time, more and more consumers prefer folding models, which is easily explained - there is always a chance to hit your forehead on the jamb of an ordinary door, while it is unlikely that you will be able to fly into the edge of an accordion door. Just because the folding door does not swing open.
The doors are divided according to the method of opening into folding, rotating, hinged and sliding. So, due to their design features, rotating ones are used in rooms with a high flow of visitors, while they are not familiar to us. The folding door does not displace the swinging venerable "representatives of the family" from use. History says that such models have been known since ancient times. Speaking of Korea or Japan, it is worth noting that a huge number of folding doors in the interior of the living rooms of these countries demonstrate the excellent functionality of "accordions". Of course, it is at least unreasonable to use them for entry, while such models are very convenient in interior design. Also worthIt should be noted that the folding door can provide good sound insulation of the premises, it can have built-in locks that will protect the room from unwanted visitors.
At their core, these doors are a mixture of folding models and ordinary blinds, which many of us use instead of curtains. From the latter, they took a horizontal rail that ensures the movement of the roller, and in addition, plates (lamellas), but more powerful. The rod that connects the lamellas, transforming them into a canvas, is the same as in the "books". The folding door of the "accordion" type is assembled and fastened according to the principle of blinds familiar to us. Specially for their production, different materials are used: PVC, wood, MDF panels.
Unlike swing models, folding and sliding can close any openings. They move apart along the lower and upper guides. The latter at the same time provides an almost silent movement of the canvases. A sliding folding door, the price of which depends on its various components, works according to this principle: the leaves are initially folded, then they slide into the wall. Such models take up little space, completely eliminate the problem of choosing the side of their opening - this optimizes the placement of equipment and furniture in a small area.
At the moment, manufacturers offer stained glass folding doors, photos of which can be seen above. To ensure rigidity, instead of wooden thin plates, a light frame is used, created from an aluminum or steel profile, where colored corrugated glass is inserted. Also developed are simpleoptions for sliding glazed walls - using wooden slats instead of a metal frame. You can also replace the glass with a colored transparent film, in addition, stick washable or film wallpaper even on a wooden frame.
To create comfortable working conditions in office premises, these doors are suitable, as well as partitions, where artificial leather is used instead of moving plywood plates. Due to it, the partition can also have a curvilinear shape. The fastenings of such sliding partitions resemble those used for plywood rigid plates.
