When it comes to things like decoration, no matter how much effort you put into it, the rewards will be great.

Don’t ask this or that when decorating. Do your homework and the house will be beautiful and practical.

Before renovating my house, I did a lot of homework and designed it myself. Now that I have lived in it for more than a year, my relatives and friends who come to visit like it very much and say it is very high-end.

Especially talk about my kitchen door. I abandoned the traditional glass sliding door and followed the Cantonese approach. It is not only beautiful but also makes the space larger.

As the saying goes, \”food is the most important thing for the people\”, the kitchen carries the smoke of the family, and most of the Chinese people\’s living habits are stir-frying, which makes the fumes float all over the house. The sliding kitchen has been used for decades. Doors are disliked by more and more people.

Several major disadvantages of kitchen sliding doors.

Take my home as an example. The kitchen area of ​​my old house is less than 5 square meters,The installed sliding door is almost not closedIt is really just a decoration, so there must be something wrong with this sliding door.

①It takes up space and wastes space

Sliding doors are both Door, the width of the door opening is 1.2~1.4m, the wider one is 1.6m, No matter which way you push it, the door leaf will occupy half of it, and the entrance and exit are only 60~80 cm wide. Access is obviously restricted. When he gets impatient, he will bump into the door

If the door is installed first, large appliances such as refrigerators and dishwashers will not be able to enter the kitchen, and the door will have to be dismantled.

②The track is not durable

If the sliding door is always opening and closing, the track is easily damaged, and the sliding door often becomes unsmooth, and some may derail or get stuck.

The pulleys under the door leaf are also easy to break. If you want to replace them, you have to dismantle the glass. Most of the time, you will end in failure if you replace them yourself, so you need a professional master to do it.

③Poor sealing

No matter how good or bad the quality of this kind of sliding door is, there is a big gap between the door leaf and the door leaf. There is also a big gap between the door frame and the door leaf. There is oily smoke when cooking. Will float out from the gap

Furthermore, its sound insulation effect is not good, and the noise of the range hood will be transmitted into the living room.

④Difficult to clean

Traditional sliding door tracks are designed with concave and convex grooves, which can make the door frame more stable. However, the disadvantage of this is that dust and debris are easy to accumulate in the concave and convex grooves of the track, so you need to use Toothbrushes remove dust and tiny debris, making hygiene very troublesome.

In addition, kitchen fumes easily adhere to the glass. The glass on the side of the kitchen becomes greasy in just a few days. It is difficult to wipe it clean by yourself. Many people ask cleaning ladies to clean it. .

Precisely because traditional sliding doors have many shortcomingsThis caused numerous complaints from netizens, and as a result, more and more people no longer use it. Everyone is learning from the Cantonese approach, which is both beautiful and practical.

Learn from Cantonese people to make folding doors

Like netizens@万子’s kitchen folding door does not have a door cover. She said that she originally wanted to make an open kitchen, but she was worried that the oil smoke would run into the dining room. It felt a bit strange. If we used traditional sliding doors, the whole space would not be transparent enough, so we decided to make folding doors.

Close the door when cooking, and fold the door to the end normally. The glass for the folding door is ultra-clear glass, with a narrow frame of two centimeters, and a groove is made at the top. The hanging rail track is hidden inside, and there is no track at the bottom. This makes the overall design much more transparent than traditional sliding doors.

After folding the door, it is integrated with the dining room, just like an open kitchen.

The effect of closing the folding door becomes a closed kitchen

There are also netizens@熊猫仙sen’s kitchen. His area does not allow a fully open kitchen, and he didn’t want it to be too airtight, so he designed it as a bar. +3 linkage sliding door + folding sliding window combination.

In this way, things can be placed on the bar, and cabinets can be made underneath to increase storage space. The space can be both open and closed, which is very practical.

The effect of the folding door opening, the space is larger

The wonderful use of the folding door

① Very flexible and can improve space utilization

The biggest advantage of folding is that it can be expanded and retracted freely, making the space larger. When opened, the kitchen is an independent space, which can effectively block oil fumes.

After folding, it takes up no space as much as possible, making the kitchen and dining room integrated, making the space transparent and large, with freedom of movement, and at the same time improving the space utilization of the kitchen.

Like netizens@802The 3-link Changhong glass folding door has a thickness of 20 cm when folded, which is the same as an open kitchen.

②Lighting and ventilation have improved

For small apartments, folding doors can also improve lighting and ventilation , fully opened when not in use, allows the air in the entire space to form convection, effectively improving the smell of oil smoke in the kitchen.

For apartments with poor lighting, you can also borrow light to improve the kitchen Such a transparent and well-lit space can always make people feel more comfortable.

Like netizens@多拉DoraThe house itself is very small, and the kitchen is only 4.5 square meters. In order to be able to To make the whole space more transparent, I made a seven-shaped sliding door in the kitchen with three linkages on both sides. When I am not cooking, I can fold the door. The lighting and ventilation of the whole house have improved, and it also looks much larger visually. .

At the same time, the open kitchen does not allow gas to be turned on, so this kind of folding door is a way to get the best of both worlds.

③Beautiful Easy to clean

There are many styles of folding doors. It is recommended that you choose minimalist frames when making them, which will be more beautiful and generous. At the same time, the folding doors are light in weight. , it is also strong, durable and not easy to discolor.

There are also a variety of glass options, such as ultra-white transparent glass, Changhong glass, frosted glass, etc. You can choose according to your own needs.

Furthermore, it is more convenient to clean than sliding doors. Folding doors do not require floor rails or copper bars, which can greatly reduce the burden of cleaning. When not in use, they can be easily hidden and do not require frequent cleaning. Reduce housework

In fact, folding doors are not only suitable for kitchens, they are a landscape in any space.

Summary at the end of the article:

The kitchen is certainly worth putting a lot of thought into. This is the love of life. A good-looking and practical folding door will add a lot of points to your kitchen.

Stop installing those traditional sliding doors and learn from the Cantonese people. It’s really wise!
