Sliding plastic doors

Ever since mankind learned to build houses and began to create private spaces, entrance and interior doors have become an integral part of the interior. Since the doors immediately catch the eye, as well as a large amount of work every day, their choice should be given special attention. Properly chosen doors will serve you for many years, decorating the interior, creating coziness and keeping silence inside the rooms. Sliding plastic doors are consistent with these characteristics.

Plastic sliding doors have earned their popularity due to several features:

• One of the main advantages of sliding doors is space saving;
• Plastic panels are very light - they can be opened and closed without any effort;
• Sliding doors are easily adjustable, that is, you can open them as much as you need;

• They have excellent sound insulation and heat insulation capabilities;
• It is very easy to take care of them: no special tools or liquids are needed to clean them - wipe the smooth plastic with a slightly damp cloth and they will shine clean again;
• The plastic web is not subject to corrosion (that is, does not rust), does not rot and does not attract flying, jumping and crawling insects;

• Another important advantage is the financial side. With all its positive qualities, plastic canvases are much cheaper than their wooden and metal counterparts.

The next drawback is the unnatural origin of the plastic. Although the artificiality of the material should not play a big role - after all, plastic is used even for storing food products and making toys for babies.

Sliding plastic panels are a type of construction when the doors open parallel to the wall (in opposite directions from each other). They are of several types:

• Roller. Of the advantages can be noted style and ease of installation (roller sliding doors can be installed independently). The mechanism is mounted on the wall, because of this, problems such as poor heat and sound insulation are created, since there is a small space between the wall and the canvas so that the doors can slide along the rails;

• Cassette. They are very similar in principle to the roller construction. The only difference is in the cassette, which hides all moving parts and the door leaf. All this construction is hermetically installed in the wall or along the wall. The cassette mechanism allows the doors to really close very tightly, so you can avoid the drawbacks inherent in the roller construction. To mount the cassette structure, you need to contact the specialists - you will not be able to install it yourself. The only drawback of this type of design is the high price, although against the background of all advantages it is easily explained.

• "Book" - when the shutter consists of two parts and folds like a book;
• "Harmonic" - the shutter consists of several canvases and when moving apart it folds up like an accordion.

The last two options are suitable for those cases where the doorway is very wide in itself, and the walls next to it are narrow, that is, there is not enough space to move the sash).

The design of sliding plastic cloths includes:

• Canvas;
• Opening mechanisms;
• Attachment mechanisms;
• Fittings.

For some reason, sliding doors are most often installed in country houses, balconies, in bathrooms and in the entrances to a house or apartment, although they can also be used in interior aisles. Modern choice allows you to choose a door of any size, design and made of any material, which expands the possibilities for their use almost to infinity.

Sliding doors are of the following types:

• Filed (for example, the type of French windows);
• Panel board (continuous cloth);

• Whole-glued (optimally installed on balconies and loggias or cottages - they are the most energy-efficient);
• Portal (sash height from floor to ceiling).

So wherever you decide to install plastic doors, you can be sure of safety, sound insulation and long-term comfortable use of your sliding plastic doors.

To choose the right doors, first of all you need to decide on the place of their use - the doors for the loggia are different from the entrance doors, the interior doors are from the balcony doors. Depending on the room, you can choose doors with an emphasis on style, functionality or security. The differences are in size, and in the design and materials of the valves. For example, portal doors are ideal for a loggia in the country - they will provide maximum light access during the daytime, which will also save on electricity and will not limit the view of the lawn or the ornamental garden.

PVC doors are moisture resistant and airtight, so they are out of competition for any rooms, including bathrooms and balconies. The coating of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) helps not to limit the flight of fancy and allows you to make doors of any shape, design or color - for example, portal doors with natural wood or panel doors with marble or leather decoration, etc. plastic and aluminum - it is more airtight than plastic and warmer than aluminum.

Plastic sliding canvases, despite its modernity, are suitable for any interior, including elegant classical design. In the classic version, they can be arranged under the tree for the living room, and for the dining room to choose portal paneled in the style of French windows.

For the eastern interior design is suitable for bamboo. In the bathroom you can install a mirror canvas, and if the entrance to the bathroom is directly from the corridor, make the mirror mirror on both sides. This trick, in addition to real space savings, will also allow you to visually increase the space.

PVC profile is ideal for installation in children's rooms for the following reasons:

• It is lightweight, therefore, children can easily open and close doors;
• The sliding design ensures maximum safety - firstly, you can not be afraid to knock the child with it when opening the door, secondly, the little ones are protected from pinched fingers on the handles and on the legs;
• Again, the soundproofing ability will allow you to safely go about your business without fear of waking a sleeping child;

• Entering the room, you know for sure that nobody is hiding behind the doors. This reason may seem ridiculous to you, but children in this case will feel much calmer than when opening a swing model.

Summing up, it is safe to say that choosing plastic sliding doors you choose safety, comfort, comfort and the desired appearance for many years at a much lower price than in any other variant.
