The headache of buying a new house comes, but when decorating, I don't know which type of indoor door to install! My friend said that barn doors are more popular nowadays and suggested that I install them. However, when I asked my master to install this type of door, he asked me: Is there a difference between installing a one-way barn door or a two-way barn door?
In my opinion, the barn door is nothing more than a Sliding door that saves space and can be pushed directly to the side wall. This one-way and two-way statement was not known until I heard the master say it. It's a great way! The following figure is a comparison chart provided by the master:
① Literally. Literally speaking, a unidirectional barn door can only be limited to one sliding direction, while a bidirectional barn door can be pushed and pulled towards both sides with flexible direction.
② On the type. The one-way barn door only has one door, which is relatively monotonous. The two-way barn door is a double or multiple door, with a strong sense of hierarchy and more design.
Whether it is a one-way barn door or a two-way barn door, it must be determined based on the home decoration situation and preferences.
↓ Size of door frame pass
The size of the indoor door frame and door opening is not uniform. The size of the door opening can accommodate a conventional single door, and installing a one-way barn door is the most suitable. However, it is simple and convenient to use. If the door opening exceeds the installation requirements of a conventional single door, installing a one-way barn door requires increasing the leaf width of the door, which is more laborious to push and pull. If it is made of all wooden materials, it also appears that the space is constrained. At this time, a two-way barn door can be chosen, and the leaf is divided in two, Push and pull to easily separate the fan blades towards both sides.
↓ Side wall size
Due to the characteristic of the barn door, the leaf of the door can be pushed towards the side wall on the horizontal line, and the size of the side wall plays a crucial role. Yakou is located at the corner of the wall and can only choose to install a one-way door; The size of the wall space on both sides is similar, but it cannot accommodate the conventional placement of a door. To ensure the normal size of the pass, a barn door can be divided into two, which is a two-way barn door.
After several explanations by the master, I feel like I have transformed from a decoration expert to a semi expert. If you want to increase lighting, the barn door can also be designed with glass. Since I prefer lightweight and flexible ones, and I also want to leave some space for installing decorative paintings on the side walls, I ultimately asked the master to adopt a design of two-way barn doors with glass. I'm not sure if everyone has listened to these explanations, Do you know what kind of barn door to install at home?
