Why are the folding wardrobe doors that are so popular in Japan rare in China? Are these doors easy to use?

Houjiang\’s previous article \”I have endured choosing the wrong wardrobe door for years, should I tear it down?\” Is it better to have flat wardrobe doors or sliding doors? Recommended Reading introduces the common wardrobe flat doors and sliding doors.

But in addition to these two cabinets, I believe friends who like Japanese home furnishings will also notice a cabinet door that is very common in Japan, and that is the wardrobe folding door↓↓↓

This kind of cabinet door is more like a combination of sliding door and flat door. When fully opened, it looks like a flat door, but it requires the use of sliding tracks. Such a complex, if you think about it carefully, has many advantages:

1. A wider opening

Careful friends will find that the Japanese The inside of the wardrobe is very different from that in China. Except for the upper shelf, the lower part of the cabinet is completely open without any partitions.

The reason why the Japanese designed it this way is to allow the lower wardrobe storage to be arranged flexibly according to the needs of use. You can also think of this wardrobe as a cloakroom. In actual use, Japanese people may need to put in larger items. This kind of folding cabinet door design can meet the larger opening surface and is much more convenient to use.

2 Save space

In order to make the opening surface larger, you can choose a single-leaf swing door. However, the outward opening of the flat door will take up a lot of space, and such a folding door only needs to occupy the space of a flat door, which is about 40 centimeters.

What I want to say is that the Japanese folding cabinet doors are closely related to the interior design of the wardrobe. The reason is its usage habits. In the past, Chinese people still used the traditional method of designing wardrobes with upper partitions and lower shelves. With this design, large items were basically not considered, and there was no need to install folding doors. Therefore, if Chinese people wanted to make this cabinet. Doors need to be considered comprehensively based on their own actual conditions.

Another point is that this kind of folding cabinet door looks fresh and interesting, but the craftsman thinks that the durability of the pulleys and hinges of the folding door is also A question well worth considering.

In addition, whether this kind of door switch will easily pinch your hands is also an issue that needs attention.

Finally, what I want to say is that in addition to folding cabinet doors, there are currently folding doors in China that are also worthy of attention.
