Because of its beautiful appearance, fashionable atmosphere, and space saving, the barn door is loved by many people. Today, I'd like to introduce the barn door to you. Only by understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the barn door can we make a correct purchase choice.
Advantages of barn door
1. The appearance is atmospheric and plays a very good decorative role
Barn door as background wall decoration is also a popular decoration method recently. Barn door can be matched with other elements, such as mirror, blackboard wall, glass, beading, bouquet, etc. it has fashionable appearance and creative design, and can be perfectly integrated with the whole living room. Closing the door can be used as the decoration of the background wall, and opening it can play the role of the door. The living room is not a private space, only need to consider the beauty and practicality.
2. It does not occupy space and is suitable for small apartment installation
Barn door is suitable for small apartment installation, the living room area is not very large, if the installation of a variety of flat doors will occupy the living room area, the utilization rate of space is not high. The barn door belongs to the wall type sliding door, which can solve the problem of insufficient space for small apartment. It has a fashionable appearance and plays a certain decorative role.
3. It is easy to disassemble and can be removed as soon as possible
Barn door is a door that can be used many times. When you move, you can unload the door and take it away directly. When the barn door is disassembled, the track and pulley can be directly removed. The operation is simple and will not affect the door. If it is other doors, the disassembly process is more complex.
4. Lower cost
Barn door can be made of waste wood, waste wood and solid wood. Compared with solid wood door, steel plastic door and aluminum alloy door, the cost is lower, and the waste can be reused, which is more environmentally friendly. It is a popular sliding door.
5. Easier installation
The installation steps of the barn door are relatively simple. It can be installed in a few simple steps, and it can be installed by yourself. The first step is to drill holes on the wall, align the rails and fix them on the wall with long screws; the second step is to install the hanging rails above the door edge; the third step is to hang the door.
Disadvantages of barn door
1. The effect of sound insulation and sealing is poor
The sound insulation effect of the barn door is relatively poor, because the door and the wall are not sealed, so a gap needs to be reserved, so that the barn door can be pushed and pulled normally.
2. High load bearing requirements
The track of the barn door is installed on the wall. The pulley is driven by the track fixed on the wall to make the barn door open and close normally. Therefore, the load-bearing requirements of the wall are particularly strict. If it is a new load-bearing wall, such as cement wall, or concrete wall, the load-bearing capacity is better, you can install the barn door. The load-bearing capacity of hollow brick or foam brick is relatively poor. Generally, the barn door has been suggested to avoid accidents.
3. High requirements for hardware accessories
The barn door mainly depends on the hanging rail and pulley to work. If the hardware quality is not up to standard, the barn door will make a loud sound when opening and closing, and the opening and closing of the barn door will not be smooth, which will affect the user experience, so don't consider the hardware accessories that are too cheap.
