Sliding interroom doors: how to choose? Sliding door door sliding doors are non-standard.
Tests of standard urban apartments forces their owners to use a variety of devices and structures, the operation of which will help save the precious residential space. Having made the sliding doors on the rollers with their own hands and installing them instead of traditional swing, the owner will be able to free the place to install furniture objects or simply increase the free space of rooms. In addition, the sliding structures are often installed in large openings between the rooms and become peculiar mobile, allowing it, if necessary, divide them to different rooms or combine into one large hall.
Having understood in the principles of installation of such a design, to independently assemble and install sliding doors, saving on the involvement of masters, it is quite possible if there are necessary tools at hand, and the owner itself has sustainable joinery and plumbing skills and due accurate.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Sliding Door Designs
The choice of specific models of sliding doors depends on the planning of the apartment, as well as from the design room design. But before purchasing interroom sliding systems, it is necessary to learn not only about their positive qualities, but also about their weaknesses.
So, sliding doors have the following positive qualities:
- They give considerable space saving space.
- Unlike swinging design, the sliding door will never be chaotically open and closed from drafts.
- Such doors help even visually expand the small space of the apartment.
- The dignity is the lack of thresholds in some types of similar structures, which is extremely convenient if the apartment lives elderly people or with disabilities, as well as small children.
- The sliding double door can split the room into separate areas, which helps to optimally use the space of one-room apartment.
- With a competent approach, the sliding door is not so complex in the installation and easy to operate.
- The sliding design is able to make individuality to standard planning, aesthetically transformed it.
- Thanks to modern technologies, sliding doors are easy to automate, and this distinctive feature can be called one of the key advantages over swing structures.
However, it is equally important to know the "minuses" of such doors, since, by setting them, it will be necessary to observe some of the conditions for their operation:
- The roller system and the guide rail, according to which the door canvas will be moved, must always be maintained in a working and clean state, otherwise they can fail, and one day the door jins in one position.
- Usually, the standard sliding design, unlike the disintegration, is unable to soundly soundly insulated the separated rooms, as there will be at least small gaps between the door frame and the door blast.
- The door will not be able to keep the smells of cooking, if it is planned to be installed at the entrance to the kitchen room.
- All parameters of the design during its installation must be well protected, and its elements are installed perfectly exactly vertically and horizontally, otherwise the door can cross. However, this requirement is probably applied to any types of door structures.
- The installation of a two-dimensional door is a more complex process than consisting of one sash, since the movable canvas will need to be very accurate not only to the doorway, but also to each other.
- The high cost of sliding structures can also be attributed to advantages.
Varieties of sliding doors
There are several types of sliding doors. They differ from each other with the design, appearance and installation of the working mechanism.
All varieties of sliding doors have a general principle of work, which distinguishes them from swing structures - they move along the horizontal line, along the door and walls. But these systems are divided into different types and can be:
- traditional sliding;
- cascade;
- folding - "harmonica";
- Radius sliding.
Any of the existing structures can be single or multistate. So, in a multistate system can be included from two to four door canvases.
If the door is not yet selected, it is worth considering the features of each type, and only after that decide on the design.
Traditional sliding door coupe
Traditional sliding doors are divided into suspended, cassette suspended, and having two guides - upper and lower.
- Design with bottom and top guide
This type of sliding doors is the most common, and most often selected for installation in apartments, as it is considered the most reliable, of course, with properly exhibited and fixed guides. In this design, one or more flaps are moved along the upper and lower rails.
It should be noted immediately noted that this type of sliding doors is quite complicated for self-installation, as it is necessary to perfectly adjust to each other the upper and lower guides.
Find out a perfect task, from a new article on our portal.
The disadvantage of this system is the fact that the bottom rail is mounted on the floor surface, that is, or threshold will form, or it will have to cut a recess. In the guide profile, which is installed in the floor, the dust and fine debris will necessarily be assembled, which make it difficult to slow down, and sometimes even block the movement of the door leaf, so it will be necessary to constantly carefully monitor the purity of this node.
- Suspended sliding doors
The suspended structures are also quite popular, since they do not require the installation of the rail in the floor and do not have a threshold, and move only along the upper guide.
The rail is fixed on the wall above the door opening or to the ceiling, depending on the height of the selected door and the room. The guide can be placed openly or close the masking or decorative casing.
The door fabric in this design will be in a suspended state, at a distance of 10 ÷ 15 mm from the wall, so you need to consider what the door to the wall in the side will open, put one of the furniture items will not work.
Depending on how the interior is decorated, a false panel, which will close the upper guide, can be fixed only on the segment of the door movement or from the wall to the wall, and sometimes a similar "border" have both throughout the perimeter of the room. In the latter case, it will perform the role of a decorative element of the interior and will serve, in addition, the disguise of the cornice for curtains. The clip of the border on all walls of the room is possible if the door guide will be high enough on the wall.
- Suspended sliding cassette doors
This option of sliding doors may have a suspended design or move along two guides. Its main difference from previous varieties is the location of rails and canvas inside the doorway. That is, when moving the door on the guides, it will go to the niche arranged in the wall special for these purposes.
If a similar design is selected in a private house, it is usually provided in advance when building walls or partitions. Well, in the apartment, such a niche is formed from a plasterboard design, but in this case, it is necessary to consider that the size of the room will decrease by about 100 ÷ 120 mm.
The advantage of this option can be called a more dense fitting of the door side when it is closed and the absence of an open gap between the wall and the web, which means that the sound insulation of the rooms will be an order of magnitude higher than in any other sliding design.
In addition, by setting a similar type of doors, you can free the wall and space in front of it by adding aesthetic and comfort to the interior.
However, given all the alterations that need to be produced by installing cassette sliding doors, it is clear that the total costs of their installation will be quite high, even if all works are fulfilled independently.
Cascading sliding structures
The cascading version of the sliding doors is arranged on the same principle as the traditional, upper and lower guides, but differs in the way that consists of several canvases, each of which moves along its separate rail. Therefore, such a system can fit in the form of a partition, separating the room into two zones, or be collected about one of the walls and block the room only on the width of one canvas.
Such systems are usually used as partitions, but they may well become a wall with a door if only one of the panels will be shifted. Similar sliding structures are most often made from natural or polymer glass of different shades, and has a height from the ceiling to the floor, so the lower guides are embedded in the floor, and the upper fixes on the ceiling.
Very often, such systems are used to create glazed veranda or terraces - there is always the possibility of turning the room in the open summer seating area.
How can I use a veranda or terrace
Modern window and door structures make it possible to fully use the premises of the house or attachment in winter, and in the summer period turn their open cozy recreation areas. An example - about which is described in a special publication of our portal.
Sliding design - "Harmonica"
The sliding system "Harmoshka" can perform a partition or door role. It consists of several canvases interconnected by end loops.
Sliding Foldable Door Design - "Harmonica" This is a rather complicated design for self-making, and the assembly is best carried out with an invitation of an experienced specialist.
The width of the door cans can be different - it depends on the size of the opening and free space, which can be allocated for the design in folded form.
The system "Harmonica" can be installed in a standard or wide doorway, as well as a partition separating the room to the zone. When it is installed to perform the role of partitions, the guides are mounted on the floor and the ceiling.
The characteristic disadvantages of this design include almost complete absence of sound and thermal insulation.
Radius sliding structures
Sliding radius systems give the interior of any room a special charm, but for their installation, you will have to create a plasterboard semicircular wall. This type of structures can be used to install in the doorway or serve a full-fledged partition of the room installed from the ceiling to the floor.
The radius option is mounted on the upper and lower guide, and can walk on the outer or inner side of the wall, as well as to be built into it, that is, empty inside the wall will become a cassette in which the doors can be hidden during their opening.
A qualitatively made and properly installed design of this type can create sufficiently high sound and thermal insulation. However, if there is no work experience in the installation of the radius system of sliding doors and drywall structures, but there is a big desire to have such a decorative functional element in the interior of your apartment, it is better to trust it with an experienced master - independent installation will be extremely complex.
Production and installation of sliding door on the rollers
Materials for assembling suspended door design
The suspension design is the easiest option for self-installation, so it is worth considering how all work is carried out, and what materials will be necessary for them.
- Depending on the size of the doorway, one or two doors can be required. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the massiveness of the canvases, since the elements of the accessories will be seamless, which must hold them on weight.
For the suspension design, the canvas should have a larger size than the doorway.
- The upper guide - rail, which will move the doors with roller mechanisms fixed on them. The length of the guide must be equal to the double width of one or two door shells.
Top guide - metal profile. It requires a timing of the same length - Wooden timber equal to the rail length, and having a size in a section of at least 50 × 50 mm - the guide will be fixed on it.
- A set of rollers and fasteners selected by weight and thickness of one or two canvases.
- Quality boards or panels for framing the doorway - the manufacture of the box.
- Three platbands are two vertical and one horizontal, for the doorway, and the false panel, which will close the timber and the guide, fixed above the doorway.
- In the design, if desired, it can be embedded, it is installed for easier closing of the door leaf.
- One or two sets of handles for the door.
- Anchors for fixing timber to the wall.
- Saws.
- Fasteners for installing platbands and false panels.
- Mounting polyurethane foam for filling the lumen between the door frame and the wall.

If there is no confidence that the door canvas will be made independently with the necessary quality, it is better to purchase it in the finished form, since the doors produced on professional equipment will look much more effectively.
Tools for work
Now about tools, without which it will not work out to make the door system and make it installation.
The list of minimally necessary includes the following names:
- Electric drill (perforator) with drills on wood and concrete.
- Circular saw, electric jigsaw and manual hacksaw.
- Screwdriver.
- Construction level, plumb, line of 1000 mm, square, roulette, folding meter.
- Electric or ordinary planer.
- Manual milling machine with a set of required cutters.
- Hammer, chisel, pliers.
Manufacture of door web
If the door is manufactured independently, then you need to know from which it can be done, and which patterns of the canvas can be used in this design.
Suspended doors can be solid, scribbled or using artificial glass mounted in a frame with a different number of jumpers. A solid canvas can be made of massive boards, chipboard or well-processed wooden bars and plywood. It should be noted that all these materials have a sufficiently large massiveness, so ready-made options for suspended doors are often made using high-quality plastic or metal, which is used as a frame to install transparent inserts from synthetic glass into it.
In any case, whether the doors will be purchased in finished or manufactured independently, the parameters of the canvas must be seamless depending on the size of the doorway. The exact ratios of these sizes can be found in the tables presented above.
For example, for a door opening with one web size of 865 × 2175 mm, with a box installed in it, a door, having a size of 900 × 2200 mm, and when installing a double-handed structure in the opening of 1765 × 2175 mm, the canvas must have size 900 + 900 × 2200 mm.
If the DSP panel of the desired size is purchased as a workpiece for the door, it can be made easier, cutting one or more windows in it, then process their edges with a mill and install thin phane or glass in them.
The process of manufacturing a glazed or lightweight canvas from the chipboard is performed as follows:
- The panel for the start is placed. At the same time, it is necessary to comply with a condition that consists in the fact that from the edges in any case, it is necessary to retreat at least 150 mm. Thus, the framing of the door canvase made from the chipboard should not be this size.
- After the markup, the inner parts of the panel are filled with an electric jigsaw. In order to produce this process, a hole is drilled in one of the corners of the markup, then the junction canvas is inserted into it, and the cutting of the marked parts of the panel is made.
- Next, you need to qualitatively process the inner edges, which come after drinking openings, otherwise they will look inactively. This work can be made in two ways - to process edges with a milling line, or to reflect the embossed stapper. The stroke is cut into the size of the windows, then sticks or nailed throughout the perimeter on one side of the panel.
- Further, the glass or insertion from plywood is cut into the size of the window, and it is installed in it, pressed to the fixed head. After that, the insert on the other hand is fixed by the second head.
- The end surfaces of the door leaf of the chipboard can be made by a special decorative thermal gas that is glued using a conventional iron.
- If plywood inserts are installed in the cut windows, they can be adjusted to the total color using coloring, filling or lamination. The strokes should also have an approximate door design close to all elements.
- Doors can also be made from a bar of different sizes in the section, but the thickness of the frame frame should not be more than 30 mm.
The bar for the manufacture of such a door canvase should be high-quality and well-processed.
The bar from which the internal jumpers will be made, should have a smaller or the same thickness as the frame. The size of the stroke and the thickness of the panels, which will be installed in the formed windows, you need to think over in advance, since the first should not appear to the outside of the entire door canvas.
It should be noted that the manufacture of a frame door from a bar is a more complex process, since all the elements of the frame are bonded with each other with extreme accuracy and reliability, otherwise the finished canvas can "lead", that is, its frame is deformed.
- There are several methods for connecting timber, but the most popular are in Polderv and "in the paw". They are quite simple in drinking, well hold the design from deformation and securely fasten the elements among themselves.
It is better if the bars will be bonded between themselves non-metallic self-pressing or even more - nails, and special wooden bellows, which are driven into drilled throughout the holes need a diameter in the adhesive connections nodes of bars. For each of these nodes of the door frame, you must use two copiers installed on the diagonal.
- In the lower end part of the canvas, on its entire width, the groove for the flag roller is milling or, as it is called differently, the lower door retainer.
Installation of the suspension system
When the door canvas is ready, it is necessary to secure the fittings, these are roller mechanisms, special locks or handles that are different from those that are installed in the usual swing structures. In any sliding doors, the knobs are settled in the canvas, as they should not interfere with its movement.
- The first step is the markup of the arrangement of the handle from two sides of the door of the door. It should be located at a distance of 35 ÷ 50 mm from the vertical edge of the panel.
- After that, from the marked line placed the width of the nest and its height. Next, the distance equal to half the width of the future hole is measured from the top point of the markup - this point and will be the center of the circle, which is drilled using the drill-crown of the desired diameter.
- The same process is carried out from the bottom side marked with a knob's socket. There should be two non-separation deposits that have a depth to which the handle will be recessed into the canvas.
- Then, the wood between the two intended crowns of round deepeners is selected by a mill or chisel and hammer.
- The handles in sliding structures are fixed in the cut-out glue, for example, "liquid nails", or snap into special attachments that are pre-screwed in the resulting opening.
- The next step on the upper end side of the door canvase, you need to place and secure roller mechanisms using screws. Under them, most likely, will have a mill (chisel) to choose curly grooves.
- The rollers must be fixed at a certain distance from the edges of the door canvase. This parameter is indicated in the instructions applied to the set of metal fittings.
- Now you can now stand the finished door to the side, and make it up with refining, of course, if the door frame is no longer installed.
- Collect and install the box for sliding doors - it is much easier than for swing structures, as it consists of three absolutely smooth elements - two vertical and one horizontal boards (panels), fastened with each other with long screws.
The box can be made of a massive board or chipboard - this factor does not play in this case a large role, since no load falls on the mounted design. Its the only purpose is to give the door to the door to the neat and aesthetic appearance.
- The fastened box is installed in the doorway and are crushed with wooden struts, which are driven between its panels and the wall to achieve the perfect verticality and horizontal of the walls.
Control of the position of the box panels is carried out using a construction level and a plumb. When the design is installed perfectly accurately, it is fixed to the walls. This can be done, drilled in the boxes of the box through holes or screwing metal overlays to the end sides of the boards and the wall.
- Further, on a prepared timber, an equal length of the door equal to the double width, a metal guide for rollers is fixed using selflessness.
- In a bar, the holes are drilled in advance through which it will be fixed on the wall.
- After that, roller mechanisms mounted on the door are inserted into the guide rail.
- The whole design is attached to the doorway, set down, if necessary, temporarily maintained with wooden wedges, and then the "tight" bar is screwed to the wall.
- Further, the door moves into one and the other side of the guide to determine the places at the beginning and end of the rail, where the stroke or stopper limiters for the web will be fixed. Stoporks in different models of doors can have a different design.
- The next step in front of the open door, in the lower end of it, in the carved groove, is installed and is screwed to the floor flag roller. It must be perfectly smoothly under the top rail rail.
This lower stopper does not allow the door to leave the door to the side, that is, does not allow its transverse oscillations.
- Next, the gaps between the wall and the door-box boards are filled with mounting foam. After its drying, the speaking surpluses are cut.
- Then the timber and the guide rail is decorated with a false panel, and the lumens between the door frame and the wall - with platbands.
In the considered case, the installation of the simplest sliding suspended structure was introduced, not complicated by unnecessary elements. Therefore, the installation of such a system is seen quite accessible to self-fulfillment by any domestic master, naturally, subject to all the nuances and performing technological recommendations.

It is believed that the sliding doors are novelty among the door structures. But it is incorrect. Many centuries ago in Japan first invented sliding doors that were used as interior partitions in large rooms. That is, it is very ancient, but still current invention. Sliding doors are a very convenient and practical design that enjoys great popularity. Now manufacturers offer a wide selection of such products, so it is important to know how to choose the most suitable option to you.
Design features
Sliding doors can have two types of design depending on their device:
- parallel-sliding;
- sliding folding.
They are completely different in their way of movement and mechanism. In addition, they are installed completely differently.
So, parallel-sliding models consist of several small flaps. They move on rails and rollers. These are very reliable structures that can serve for a very long time.
Sliding folding systems have a different device.They always consist of a large number of sections and fold the harmonica. They have a different principle of work and are completely collected at the same wall during opening. They are perfectly suitable for distinguishing various functional zones and for decoration of premises.
Also in all structures include certain components, which are an integral element of such a door system.
- So, there are guide profiles. The average length is 1.5-2 m. There is always a lower guide profile and a set of fixtures.
- For models that move on the rollers, wheels are provided. Usually there are quite a lot of them, but the specific amount will depend on the length of such a door.
- A very important element of the design of sliding doors is stoppers. They are needed to limit the movement during the movement of the sash. So you can conveniently fix the sash in the desired position.
