A sliding door is a door that makes a lateral movement when opened and closed instead of a rotating movement. If you think about the fact that each normal hinged door occupies 0.65 m2 of space in your house, the choice for a sliding door will be made easy. Such a sliding panel can also function as a dividing wall between different rooms.
Sliding doors are also the solution when you are disabled, and for example have to move in a wheelchair. Then the discomfort of the backward and forward movement which does occur within a revolving door, is completely removed. To make this even clearer, we've created an animation . But a sliding door is also a huge solution for blind and partially sighted people.
Sliding doors are not only space saving, but they also fit in the philosophy of building for all stages of life. Also check the broadcast (in Dutch) of Doe maar Duurzaam on RTL7 in which Best-Fix gave the various views on this subject.
Types of sliding door panels
Sliding doors can consist of one large plate of wood or plywood, but also an existing blunt door with a honeycomb core can meet. Many people opt for a door panel with glass for extra light. Complete glass sliding doors are available, but the extra light can also be realized with a door panel with small windows from any home depot. In that case beware of the fact that it is not a prehung door but a slab door. Steel sliding doors with glass give a nice tight interior design and can be customized.
With BestFix-Schuifdeursystemen you will find mainly pocket frames for sliding doors (systems to be built in the wall). The entire sliding door disappears in the wall. This requires a wall surface that is slightly wider than the sliding door itself. The finish of the sliding door system depends on the type of the pocket frame. Do you like a country style or, in the case of a renovation, that your sliding door fits the style of the rest of the interior, you probably choose a system that is finished with a door post and architrave, a covering profile around the doorway. If you like a smooth, modern interior, you probably choose a minimalistic finish of the system, so it will flush with the wall.
