During the renovation, I had a quarrel with my family over whether to install sliding doors in the kitchen or not. Argument.

• The family thinks that the door should not be installed The kitchen is unreasonable;
• I think the kitchen is small, and the sliding door takes up too much space and is difficult to take care of later.

After some debate, In the end, I stuck to my guns and installed a folding door.

Just starting home People objected, but after using it they unanimously changed their tune and praised it. I will share my experience with you today,If necessary, you may wish to use it as a reference.

Why install folding doors

All folded, it will not affect the hanging rail to open the door

The main reason is that it saves more space than sliding doors. Because the kitchen door opening is too narrow, installing a sliding door will be particularly congested and blocked, while the folding door can be pushed and pulled, and the entire door is only 15cm wide when folded, which is very Saves space and does not affect the opening and closing of the cabinet.

The folding door experience

The folding door can be opened to the maximum extent, allowing the kitchenette and dining room to be connected, making the space appear more open.
