Although the door only accounts for a small part of the home decoration, this detail can be done well and the comfort can be improved a lot! Most homes are now just hinged doors and sliding doors. Today, we introduce a novel "pocket door" - after opening, we can see that the door is hidden in the wall. Open and closed can be switched at will. The home is big, and decoration is very popular now.
Pocket door is also called hidden rail sliding door. In fact, the principle is very simple, that is, the door is embedded in the wall, and the track is installed and pulled towards the middle. There is no need for ground rails, which will not affect the fully paved floor. Close it completely and open it completely. The sliding door is the most spacious and invisible one. Compared with the ordinary sliding door, which has only half of the traffic space, it is more spacious; Compared with the fully open barn door, it is seamless and better sealed.
Q: What is the wall thickness required for pocket doors?
A: Actually, there is no requirement. They can all be installed. This involves the installation method of the pocket door: different from the conventional door body installation, the pocket door needs to install the track, pulley and door leaf in advance, and then seal the wall. In fact, it is the process of "breaking first and then erecting". Wall demolition → rail installation → wall sealing, so the wall should be installed later without restriction.
Q: Where can pocket doors be used?
A:
① Kitchen
The kitchen is definitely one of the most suitable places for pocket doors. The biggest problem of traditional kitchens is that they are too airtight. Compared with the LDK model of modern guests, restaurants and kitchens, the openness of the home is very poor. However, the heavy oil smoke of Chinese food makes many people shy away from the open kitchen. At this time, it can be perfectly solved by using the pocket door!
The door is closed when cooking, and the space is completely closed to isolate lampblack. When you open the door when you are not cooking, the kitchen, the living room and the dining room are completely connected. The space is still open and connected.
② Bedroom
Similarly, the cloakroom/study that needs to be integrated with the master bedroom can also be replaced with a pocket door. Now many families will combine the small rooms connected with the master bedroom, such as the second bathroom, the small study, etc., with the master bedroom to form a functional suite. At this time, it will be replaced with a pocket door partition to ensure independence and privacy when using. When opening, the suite will be "fit", and the visual space will be much larger.
Small family can also directly replace the bedroom door with a pocket door. When you open the door when you don't sleep during the day, the space will open up a lot at once, and the whole house will not appear so cramped.
Of course, you can use pocket doors wherever you need to partition your home. Here are just two more generally suitable solutions. It also needs to be reminded that when installing the pocket door, remember to leave a 35cm access hole above it. The specific size should be communicated with the business according to the size of the door, otherwise, if there is a problem in the later stage, the whole wall will have to be smashed, which is too expensive.
