Sliding wardrobe doors provide comfortable operation and significant space savings, thanks to which you can place such storage spaces even in small rooms where there is no possibility to install a wardrobe with a hinged door. The sliding system is the main part of this piece of furniture, without which its full functioning is impossible.
Material for making
The main materials for making doors are steel or aluminum. The latter has many advantages, including:
- light weight;
- great variety of cover rails;
- design durability;
- silent and easy operation.
These criteria are largely influenced by the quality of the material and its proper processing. Aluminum with a small thickness of the profile structure will not be able tohold the door without deforming. And any change in the shape of the guide panel provides problems with opening and closing the door, and subsequently its failure.
For this reason, when choosing furniture, you need to carefully study the characteristics of the sliding system and ask all your questions to a furniture consultant. The sliding door system of the wardrobe is its most important component, without which the full functioning of this piece of furniture is impossible.
What to look for when choosing a door
The main selection criteria are:
- Strength of material. The quality of the entire system depends on the thickness of the profile.
- Coating quality. It can be made in gold, silver, wood, metal. The main point is the absence of blisters and the uniformity of the entire coating layer. The wardrobe sliding door system should be a combination of materials that will harmonize perfectly and do not require complex maintenance.
- The quality of the videos. The usefulness of the doors depends on them. If the roller has even slight defects, the operation of the door will be inconvenient, and the system will soon cease to function.
Sliding doors for wardrobes must be made in accordance with all technological aspects, then they will be of high quality, which will ensure reliable operation for a long time.
Varieties of the system
Depending on the design, there are three types of slidingdoors:
- On roller mechanisms. There is a suspension or support system, it consists in using rollers as moving elements that ride on a solid rail.
- Enclosed in a profile (aluminum, steel or wood). The best choice is aluminum profile, it won't deform, won't wear off during use and is more durable than hollow steel profile.
- Frameless. These sliding doors for the wardrobe are represented by a solid sheet of laminated chipboard, which is suspended on a roller mechanism. A large canvas is subject to severe deformation over time.
- Systems of radius type. Used for cabinets with semicircular elements. The bent profile allows you to create unusual designs in which the door moves as smoothly as possible.
The choice of system directly depends on the desired design of the wardrobe and its functional features.
Operation principle
The mechanism of sliding wardrobe doors is the interaction of a strong guide with high-quality rollers. The panel is attached to the inner surfaces of the upper and lower shelves of the cabinet, and roller mechanisms are fixed on the door, their number depends on the weight of the sliding system and the way it is used.
