Barn doors have been a hot topic in recent years, and many homeowners like them mainly because:
Firstly, the opening and closing of the barn door is convenient and does not take up space, which is a rigid requirement that cannot be replaced by other doors, especially suitable for small apartments.
Secondly, the diverse styles meet the personalized needs of young people.
Mainly due to these two reasons, the barn door stands out among other wooden doors.
Common installation locations for barn doors:
1. In the kitchen, using barn doors or sliding doors is the most convenient and common option. Generally, the kitchen area is not large, and if other swing doors are used, it will occupy a considerable amount of kitchen space, which is quite uneconomical for urban homeowners. Generally, grain storage doors with glass are used.
2. The bathroom and barn door are installed in the bathroom, usually in the master bedroom bathroom. The living room and bathroom use relatively few grain storage doors, but they are still used. When using them, two points should be noted: first, purchase matching locks; second, increase the width of the grain storage door, and cover more on both sides to ensure the privacy of the bathroom.
3. Storage room. Storage room is the most commonly used place for barn doors, and its requirements for doors are not particularly high.
4. Bedroom. The use of barn doors in bedrooms is relatively rare and generally suitable for rooms with low requirements for privacy and sound insulation.
5. Balconies, cloakrooms, laundry rooms, and other partitions often use barn doors.
The introduction of the usage location of the barn door has been completed. From the above, it can be seen that the usage location of the barn door is not arbitrary, but determined by the site conditions. Choosing the appropriate door determines the convenience of future use and the aesthetics of the room, as well as the unified style. Next, we will discuss how to choose a barn door.
Before choosing a barn door, pay attention to the following points:
Firstly, is the wall solid? Whether it is made of wood board or gypsum board. If it is hollow brick or wood board, special instructions should be given for reinforcement treatment, or corresponding accessories should be selected. The wood board needs to be reinforced with double layers, and special skills should be used during installation. For hollow brick or foam brick, corresponding expansion screws should be used instead of universal expansion screws.
Secondly, attention should be paid to the width and height of the door opening, and whether there is space to install the barn door. Before selecting a barn door, the size of the door opening needs to be measured. If there is insufficient space above or on both sides of the door opening, it may not be possible to install the barn door. Even if a barn door is installed, it may not open.
Thirdly, when we choose the barn door, we can choose different models and types of doors according to our own requirements, such as foam brick doors. We can use lighter hollow barn doors, while for spaces like toilets, we can use glass waterproof barn doors.
Fourthly, when choosing a barn door, we need to inform the seller of the size of our door opening in order to select the appropriate length of guide rails and door panels.
