If I can redecorate, I will never make a kitchen sliding door again. This kind of sliding door design seems convenient, but it actually has many shortcomings. If your home is being renovated, , we must avoid this.

I didn’t understand it at the time, so I followed the trend and made ordinary sliding doors for the kitchen when I first moved in. It is very convenient, but as time goes by, you will find that its shortcomings are obvious and even affect your use experience.

So, below, let’s take a look at how more and more people don’t install kitchen “sliding doors”! It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of design, it’s so advanced!

Pocket doors are becoming popular in kitchens

The pocket door is easy to understand. It is like a pocket, which can completely hide itself. It is beautiful and easy to use:

①. Solve the single door space

When we install the kitchen sliding door, there is often only one door wide enough to open.for entry and exit. In normal daily use, perhaps this width will not cause much trouble. However, once you need to move some large furniture and appliances to the kitchen, problems may become apparent.

For example, when transporting a larger refrigerator or a spacious dining table, the narrow passage of a single sliding door is likely to become an obstacle.

The pocket door is different. It can be fully opened, providing ample space for the entry and exit of large items, which just solves this problem.

②. Does not take up space

The pocket door gives people an intuitive feeling that it is extremely transparent, allowing the living room and kitchen to be cleverly integrated into one. This remarkable feature is of great importance for those families with poor lighting in the living room, kitchen and dining room.

For example, in some old-fashioned residential buildings, due to the limitations of the building structure, the lighting in the living room and kitchen is often unsatisfactory.

And. The appearance of the pocket door is like a ray of dawn, using a fully open hole to allow light to fully penetrate, making the living room and kitchen brighter and more transparent, and the sense of space is also greatly improved.

③, suitable for open kitchens

You must know that if the kitchen door is not installed, natural gas will face huge difficulties in the later stage, so that it cannot be installed at all. Moreover, the problem of oil smoke in the open kitchen can easily spread into the living room. However, if we choose to install pocket doors wisely, this series of problems can be solved.

Because when the pocket door is closed, it acts like a solid kitchen door, The kitchen is tightly sealed, effectively blocking the spread of oil smoke, and when it is opened, it can be completely opened, creating a feeling of openness similar to an open kitchen.

In fact, this flexible conversion between open and closed brings great convenience to home life.

Don’t install ordinary sliding doors in the kitchen!

1. Kitchen floor sliding door

The track of the floor sliding door is usually embedded in the ground, although it ensures the stability of the door to a certain extent. sex, but there are many disadvantages.

From a cleaning perspective, it is easy to accumulate dust, debris and oil in the track, making it very troublesome to clean. Even if you wipe it carefully every day, it is still difficult to clean and dry those small gaps and corners. Over time, bacteria will breed and affect the sanitary environment of the kitchen.

2. Kitchen hanging rail sliding door

The installation method of the hanging rail sliding door seems to be beautiful, without the obstruction of the ground track, which is convenient for daily cleaning. However, this kind of door has extremely high requirements for installation technology and hardware accessories. First, it may be improperly installed. It will cause the door body to tilt or shake, affecting normal use. From a mechanical point of view, the weight of the hanging rail door is entirely borne by the upper track and hardware. If the quality of the hardware is not up to standard or the installation is not firm, it will easily occur over time. There is a risk of the door sinking or even falling off.
