Have you ever noticed how much space gets taken up by solid hinged doors? Plus you always have to consider that someone is on the other side and that you might hit them in the face accidentally. There is a solution for this problem.
Folding doors don’t need a lot of space. They open sideways similar to a sliding door except that sliding doors are used for the public rooms and areas. Folding doors work great with solid wood because it is a durable and elegant material.
Folding doors can be custom made to suit your style. Whether you prefer the frosted glass or just the solid wood option, these doors are a great idea for anyone. The best place to have them installed is on the inside of your home in a passage or at the kitchen entrance. They add decoration and practicality to your everyday living. These doors also work perfectly for the private areas of your house such as the bedroom and bathroom.
You can have these folding doors spread over a large space as well. This could make life more practical for you. Although you can also use a sliding door for these larger openings a folding door can add style to the room. Plus they are quiet when they close and open. No squeaking or scraping.
Sliding doors made of glass allow for the maximum amount of natural light to come into the house during the day and keep the rooms cool once opened. On a lighter note, you also won’t need to worry about wind shutting them and giving you a fright.
If wanted to, you could add curtains in front of the glass sliding doors as they work similarly to a window. Curtain rails are generally placed at a standard distance away from the wall so you won’t have to worry about them getting caught in the track.
You can have sliding doors altered and customised to fit the style you prefer. For interior rooms it’s best to get solid or frosted glass finishes. For the one leading to the backyard, a transparent or normal frosted glass window should suffice and it will allow the light to enter your house.
In this modern era we are trying to save as much space as possible or create the illusion of space. These doors can be found at most door manufacturers. If you prefer, you can conveniently get a custom made door to fit the design of your home.
