Since ancient times, the door in the kitchen has always been a \”big deal in the home\” because it is necessary to ensure the transparency of the kitchen and to take into account the smell of cooking fumes in the kitchen.

The most popular door in the past was the sliding door, but today, very few people choose sliding doors in their families. On the contrary, some new types of doors have become the new favorites of kitchen decoration.

These two new types of doors that have become the \”new favorite\” in kitchen decoration are pocket doors and PD doors. So what are their advantages?

Why are more and more people abandoning sliding doors and choosing these two new types of doors?

Sliding door flaws.

The first type of sliding door refers to the kind of door that is built with ground rails inside and glass outside. Although this door design is certainly not inferior to other doors in terms of aesthetics, but in comparison In other words, there are some shortcomings in other aspects.

1. The style is not novel.

Sliding doors have an inherent flaw, that is, style. p>

Speaking of style, it not only points out that the sliding door itself also has style The lack of style mainly means that in the entire home decoration, the sliding door feels a bit \”out of tune\” because its style is relatively single and old. Compared with other popular styles and exquisite wood, In terms of beautiful opening and closing doors, sliding doors seem to be a bit \”lagging behind\”.

And with the gradual diversification of home design in recent years, everyone wants to design their home into a unique and beautiful home, but sliding doors This old, single and unrefined style directly became a stumbling block in everyone\’s design, so this relatively low-end style was naturally abandoned.

2. The earth’s orbit is difficult to clean.

Generally speaking, except for FUJI and PG, they cannot withstand heavy loads due to their own material problems. In addition to pressure, other good quality sliding doors can generally withstand a weight of 80kg.

Because this kind of sliding door has a track design, it needs to slide the track when opening and closing.

Therefore, there will be some small gaps in the track. It is normal for some dust to accumulate in the gaps. However, because people will inevitably bring a little bit of mud under their feet in their daily lives, so when the sliding door switch is opened, When the time comes, that little bit of mud will just fall into the gap in the track, and because it is relatively sticky, sometimes you can\’t find the whole piece, which can be easily taken out, but it is very troublesome if it is scattered.

And even if you can sometimes get the mud out, it will leave sticky traces on the track, which affects the life experience, so for a long time If these two parts are not cleaned, it will lead to a ground track that is \”difficult to dismantle in a thousand years\”, which will make the owner very distressed.

3. The hanging rails are not durable.

I always thought that sliding doors slide on the lower rails. Do they have upper rails?

p>

Of course there is, and in the early days of production, it was very common to have slide rails up and down. However, later people found that this design could easily get the door stuck and affect the appearance, so it gradually evolved. This is now the \”lower track\” sliding method.

But it is precisely because of this design that does not use the upper track that the service life of the sliding door is reduced a lot, because generally, each sliding door They both open and close at the same time, right?

When one side is open, it will naturally be used frequently, while the other side does not open and close very much, so it will be in a \”dormant state\” for a long time. Although it is not No matter how you use it, it is destined to be used more frequently and wear out faster.

So at the beginning, outside the opening and closing surfacesThe part is fine, but problems will arise over time with the opening and closing surface. That is, whenever you open it, you will always feel a little tilted and stuck. This situation will become serious over time and it will take a long time to open and close. It took a lot of effort, so I had to hire someone to repair it. However, after a few repairs, it returned to its original state, which greatly affected my daily life.

4. Take up space.

In addition to the above three shortcomings, there is another point that greatly affects the user experience, that is, it takes up space.

Have you ever seen a double-linked sliding door?

It is the kind of two sliding doors that move together.

Double linkage obviously takes up more space than single linkage and affects space utilization more, so not many people choose the double linkage design.

Moreover, the adoption of double-linkage design may also cause problems with furniture placement. Therefore, many people who bought double-linkage sliding doors even regretted \”never again\” Don’t do it anymore.”

The good and bad are clear at a glance.

Since there are so many problems with sliding doors, why do people still use them?

This is mainly Because it was indeed a popular choice at the time, so most Everyone likes to follow the trend, and the bandwagon effect makes more and more people use sliding doors.

But to this day, sliding doors with so many problems still do not occupy a disadvantaged position, but are gradually replaced. It has pocket doors and PD doors, so what are the advantages of these two?

1. Pocket door

First of all, the appearance of the pocket door is much higher than that of the sliding door, and it is very pleasing to the eye. Secondly, it is relatively transparent. As we mentioned before, the sliding door is a bit unsightly, so the designer Iteratively solve this problem by replacing it with a highly permeable material such as glass. If the permeability is stronger, will it be more beautiful?

So the pocket door appeared.

The name pocket door is very vivid because it has a very magical and high-end effect: It doesn\’t seem to be there, but it is there as soon as it is opened, and the transparency is very good. Whether it is made in a simple and elegant style or a modern and advanced style, it can instantly improve the overall beauty of the decoration.

And when you enjoy the viewing angle, you are not afraid of the smell of oil fumes sticking to the surroundings, because even if it sticks, it can be stowed away in a corner at any time. It is also very convenient for removing oil fumes in a short time. If there is any accumulation inside, just wipe it clean without making a mess and affecting other people\’s sight.

The most important thing is that after the open kitchen became popular, the open kitchen itself pays attention to space. Transparency in the space. If you add a large glass window that is ugly and unsightly like a \”sliding brother\”, once the large and transparent space is blocked by the window, you will immediately feel a sense of oppression. Therefore, The birth of pocket doors just solves this problem.

2. PD doors

It is well known that folding, flat opening and sliding are all very practical, and one door can have them all at the same time. How much advantage does the functional type of function have? What about the potential?

The answer is very big, so the emergence of PD is because the first three are incompatible, but PD can do it, and the \”functional type\” came into being. It is undeniable that it It is much more beautiful than the push-pull one.

And it does not require much space to use. It is a very space-saving design, so compared with those that require a lot of space to be used. In terms of design, it is very suitable for It is used in small spaces, so more and more people are starting to see the PD type in their homes.

Even in some larger spaces, it also has an advantage that other designs cannot match. Because PD combines multiple functions into one, it can be freely designed in any location, rather than being limited to a certain place due to certain factors. Therefore, it can be placed almost anywhere without feeling inappropriate or particularly obtrusive. .

To sum up, because their own shortcomings are too obvious, and they are replaced by newer and better new models, more and more people are abandoning sliding doors and choosing these two excellent new models: Pocket and PD , these two excellent new models are better and more practical, and can better solve problems that traditional office puzzles cannot solve. They deserve to be the new favorites of the new era. Let us put them into the kitchen quickly!
