As a relatively traditional dividing door, \”sliding door\” has been used in the kitchens of many families for decades, but it is no longer popular. Why is this?

Among the new generation of kitchen doors, a popular design called \”PT door\” is popular. This new door is not only practical and easy to use, but also looks high-end, so more and more people are willing to Choose this design when decorating.

Disadvantages of sliding kitchen doors.

A sliding door is actually composed of one or two door leaves. Its opening method is to open the door leaves by pushing and pulling, and it is divided into two opening methods: flat opening type and internal and external push-pull type.

But what I see more often is the inside-outside sliding door method, which is usually used between the kitchen and the living room.

Compared with ordinary flat doors, the biggest feature of this kind of sliding door is that it saves space, because if it is opened in a flat way, it will require about 5 to 6 square meters of space for rotation and placement.

But for the push-pull type, as long as one door leaf can be placed, there will be no rotation problem, so only 2~3 square meters of space is needed to place the closed door leaf to meet the usage needs. , which can save a lot of usable area.

And because it can be freely retracted and retracted in both closed and concealed directions, this design that is both beautiful and easy to use is welcomed by more and more families.

However, for such a popular design, for some unknown reason, it has become less popular in recent times. It was slowly eliminated over the years.

In fact, sliding doors are soIts popularity plays a large part in its functionality.

You must know that the lighting of sliding doors is very good. For places such as bay windows and balconies that have good lighting, naturally they cannot use doors with strong light blocking properties such as sliding doors. , so someone will think of installing it in the kitchen.

In order to maintain the area separation between the living room and the kitchen without affecting the transmission of light between the living room and the kitchen, we came up with the design of sliding doors. .

It is not surprising that this new design, which can separate areas without affecting indoor lighting, can immediately attract many consumers after its launch.

However, with the development of kitchen decoration styles, more and more people have replaced this sliding door that seems to be relatively ancient now with more modern ones. Novel and beautiful PT door, so what is the reason why the sliding door that consumers used to love is directly replaced by the PT door? What about elimination?

The most obvious problem of sliding doors is that they are easy to accumulate dust, because whether it is a ground rail or a hanging rail, there will be a problem of leaving too big a gap, which makes it easy for dust to get in through the gaps. Therefore, the floor rails or hanging rails need to be removed and cleaned every once in a while, otherwise there will be more and more dust, which will directly affect the aesthetics of the house.

In addition to this problem, there is another common trouble with sliding doors, that is, the accessories of this door leaf are easily damaged.bad.

We all know that wooden furniture will warp and deform after being used for a long time, resulting in inflexible opening and closing. Therefore, many people think that using metal raw materials to make door leaves is more durable, so they choose metal materials. Make sliding door leaves.

However, metal raw materials will oxidize first during use. After a thin layer of rust forms on the surface, something thick, black, and very corrosive will appear underneath.

It not only affects the appearance, but also affects the function of the metal raw material itself. Sometimes it can even cause harm to the human body. In more serious cases, it may be corroded to rust or even produce holes.

If food is stored at home, it may accidentally rot or even stink.

The last disadvantage is that the opening is inflexible, because it requires some effort to open it, so for older people, opening this kind of door is simply too troublesome.

PT door replaces sliding door.

We know that sliding doors have so many advantages and disadvantages, and now we naturally have to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PT doors, a new design that also separates areas.

PT door is actually a new type of door that combines the functions of flat opening and push-pull The biggest advantage of the kitchen partition door is that it can take into account the above two functions, so there will be no problem of dust entering the floor rail or hanging rail. As long as the floor is cleaned regularly, it can be solved without removing the floor rail or hanging rail. Cleaning issues.

And for people who don’t have enough space for the door to open to the outside, this new design can also improve the problem of insufficient space by opening inward, so that everyone can Have a more comfortable experience.

But the editor believes that the biggest advantage of this new design is that it not only has the comfort of flat opening, but the hardware accessories also have a buffering effect, making it easy to close when closing.As for the \”bang\” sound that scares yourself or your family, it makes the room seem quieter.

Notes.

Although PT doors have so many advantages, we should also pay attention to some things when using them, and try to avoid problems with PT doors due to our own carelessness.

The first thing to pay attention to is the quality of the hardware accessories, because the PT door Instead of choosing floor rails or hanging rails like sliding doors, the top side needs to be supported, so the top will generate relatively large pressure. At this time, if the quality of the hardware accessories is not up to standard, problems such as breakage may easily occur.

The second thing to pay attention to is the reinforcement of the top side support, because only by reinforcing it can we ensure that the PT door remains stable in use for a long time and will not fail to close. Problems such as tightness or inflexible opening seriously affect daily life.

Now more and more people have replaced the sliding doors in their kitchens with PT doors. I believe that more and more people will join this trend in the future.
