Is it better to install ceiling rails or floor rails for kitchen sliding doors? I believe many people have had this kind of dilemma when decorating their kitchen. I had the same question when I was renovating, but I followed the decoration company\’s suggestion and installed a hanging rail door.

The house is now occupied It’s been a year and I feel a bit regretful! I really want to replace the hanging rail sliding door in the kitchen with a floor rail! Why is this? Today I will share with you my actual feelings.

Why install hanging rail sliding doors

When I installed the hanging rail sliding door, on the one hand, I listened to the suggestions of the decoration company, and on the other hand, I considered the overall style. After all, the track of the ground rail will destroy the integrity and is unsafe.

On the contrary, the hanging rail sliding door only needs to be installed on the upper track. There is no raised track on the ground, so it is safe to walk back and forth. Of course, it looks very good and fits well in the kitchen.

Why you want to replace the floor rail sliding door

However, in actual use, the inconvenience of hanging rail sliding doors gradually becomes apparent:

①Poor stability

I don’t know. The problem with installation is that it has been used for too long. Anyway, it will always appear every time the sliding door is opened and closed.Shaking condition. Later, I went to the manufacturer and said that the hanging rail door itself had this problem.

Because it mainly relies on the top track and The pulley realizes opening and closing, and long-term friction use will inevitably cause wear and tear.

There is one more The problem is: when installing a hanging rail door, in order to make up for the lack of height, wood is usually used as false beams. However, wood has limited bearing capacity and will naturally deform over time. It\’s normal for the door to shake.

It seems that the hanging rail door is not durable , short service life.

②The sealing performance is average span>

In order to push and pull smoothly, there is usually a gap of about 1 centimeter between the hanging rail sliding door and the ground, resulting in poor sealing and easy exposure of oil fumes. This phenomenon is more obvious every time you cook. . In addition, the heat preservation and sound insulation in the kitchen are also very average.

Which one is better for home use

Based on the above Experience, I think:Installing floor rail sliding doors in the kitchen is cost-effective, reliable and durable.

In recent years, a minimalist floor track door has also appeared.

The copper track can be buried under the ceramic tiles, basically flush with the ground, and protruding less than 2 centimeters. It is smooth when walking, and the safety is greatly improved. It also saves the trouble of cleaning the track, and is very suitable for home use. .

Of course, the cost of this minimalist floor track door will be slightly higher, but for long-term use, I think it is worth spending more money!
