subject: Different Types Of Slide Doors Available In The Market [print this page] Slide doors do not only save space by sliding inside the wall or on the side, but it also look elegant. The best thing, as we all know, about a slide door is that it vanishes in one side, or either side of the wall, depending upon the type of the slide door, creating an open space, which looks visually pleasing. Unlike other doors that need a lot of space to open and which hangs from the door socket with hinges, a slide door just slides inside on the wall.
Different types of slide doors
The slide doors are categorized on the basis of number of doors and material used in it. Some of the sliding doors have two doors, each of which slid inside the opposite wall to create an open space, whereas, some slide doors have only one door that slid inside one side of the wall.
These are not just the only type. There are slider doors with two doors and both sliding inside of one side of the wall only then there are four-door slider doors, of which two slides on the either side of the wall. And by no means these are the only types of door.
Similarly, the material used in the door and its percentage depends upon the place where it will be used and the budget a home owner has for such doors. For example, people like to use a slide door made of glass between living and dining room to create a partition, but not an opaque one. This door may be good for this space, but using it in bathroom cannot be even considered.
Benefit of having slide doors in home
It has often been seen that the wall or space behind a normal door, which uses hinges and opens on the inside (or even outside), is left unused.In a space-constraint world it is such a luxury that very few people can afford to waste space like that. Installing a sliding door helps a homeowner make use of the space, which otherwise got hidden behind the door.
Another notable benefit of a sliding door is the open space it creates. Lets say you have space, which you have shared between your living room and dining room, and you wish separate them. To keep each other separate you will either create a false wall (if not a permanent one), or will put curtains. Instead, if you put wall-to-wall slide doors in place made of wood or glass, depending on your choice, you will not only separate the two rooms, but can even merge the two space to transform it in a big hall when there is a party or a big gathering in your home. This is not possible with traditional doors.
