Barn doors, I heard these doors are very popular

I heard that there is a kind of door that is becoming more and more popular recently? Because of its good looks and easy matching, it has gradually become the new favorite of interior design. It is the barn door!

What is a barn door? Originally, it was a warehouse door on foreign farms, but later it gradually evolved into a door for home decoration. It is a sliding door with sliding rails and rollers on the top of the door opening, that is, the hanging rail is external and push-pull to open. The opening method is its biggest feature. There are no special requirements for materials. Logs, solid wood composites, glass, aluminum alloys, metals, and blackboard walls are all acceptable.

Why is it becoming more and more popular?

1. Easy to install. It is a type of sliding door, and the track is exposed, so the installation method is relatively simple;

2. Good appearance. Barn doors can have a variety of colors to choose from. They can be original wood, or they can be painted with bright colors to brighten up the entire space. They are very decorative in the home.

3. Save space. Compared with other types of sliding doors, barn doors save more space and solve the problem of being unable to install sliding doors because the door opening is too small.

4. One door can be used for two purposes. If two spaces in the house are close together, one door can be used as two doors.

In addition,Chuan Haojun needs to remind everyone, don’t install barn doors just because they look good, otherwise you will be in big trouble! You also need to pay attention to the following points:

Poor sound insulation

The barn door is installed directly on the wall and protrudes from the wall surface. Push and pull smoothly, leaving a 10-15mm gap between the door panel and the wall. Therefore, the sound insulation is not good, and it is not suitable for rooms such as bedrooms and studies that require sound insulation.

Poor sealing

Not only sound but also smell can escape from the gaps. If you install it in the kitchen and choose a good range hood, the fume smell will have little impact. However, there is no guarantee that the smell will not escape from the bathroom.

High load-bearing requirements

Barn doors have relatively high load-bearing requirements for walls. Due to the valley The barn door is suspended and completely relies on the track to slide and bear force, so the wall on which the barn door is installed must be load-bearing.
