After reading the in-depth comparison between sliding doors and flat doors, I made the right choice.

Although most people now use sliding doors on their balconies, during use, sliding doors are prone to dust accumulation, air leakage, and other problems are increasingly exposed. The master who decorated the doors and windows of my home learned that I was using sliding doors for peace of mind. When I was hesitant to open the door, he decisively recommended me to choose the swing door. He said that most of the people who had decorated the door by him began to realize the benefits of the swing door! It\’s not unreasonable.

Part 1 The difference between the two

Sliding doors are door leaves that push and pull to the left and right. Generally, there are tracks up and down. The hanging rails only have upper slides. Sliding doors generally have two or more leaves, and the opening Relatively wide, sliding doors are often used in living rooms and kitchens.

The swing door opens on one side, and the other side is fixed with a hinge. The wall stack is used as the center axis, and the size is generally 850 left and right, mostly used indoors.

Disadvantages: The track cost is high, and the sealing and sound insulation are relatively poor

Hinged door

Advantages: relatively cheap cost, better sealing

Disadvantage: space occupied, behind the door The space is basically wasted

Comprehensive comparison

Sliding doors need to be made of tracks, and each door should be staggered front and back, leaving a sliding distance to prevent collisions. Swing doors do not need it, and they are sealed when closed, so swing doors It has better sealing and safety than sliding doors. At present, high-rise residential buildings generally use swing doors. Moreover, sliding doors have tracks, which will accumulate dust and garbage over time, making cleaning difficult. The kitchen is not big. If the inward swinging door takes up part of the space, it will be inconvenient to enter and exit. Sliding doors on the balcony provide better ventilation and lighting than flat doors.

Part 4Cleaning and maintenance methods
