In apartments, studios or simply small rooms that have very small dimensions, being able to make the most of the space is a priority. In this case, sliding doors are the ideal solution to optimize the existing mini-space.
On the other hand, if you don't have a lack of space, but you want to separate rooms that sometimes you want to hide and at other times you prefer to leave visible, a sliding door will help you achieve that double effect.
There are sliding doors that hide inside the wall and others that slide on the outside.
For sliding doors that are hidden inside the partition, a case is required (a metal box that must be placed inside the partition and covered on both sides with plaster or mortar), depending on the use it will have. then the wall (if it has tiles or is going to be painted).
Depending on whether the partition is made of brick or plasterboard, the specific framework for each material must be placed.
When installing a sliding door we must also take into account the handle that we are going to install, whether it is a handle or a simple handle.
The passage space that the door leaves once open will depend on this choice, since with a handle we will have to deduct approximately 10 cm of door that will not be hidden within the wall. We recommend, if possible, installing doors with a standard leaf 10 cm larger so as not to lose passage space.
Thus, if we wanted to place a sliding door in the bathroom, we recommend installing, if possible, a 72.5 cm door so that once the door is open we have 62.5 cm left to access without problems. There are also special frames for doors with two leaves, for opposing doors, telescopic doors and even for curved doors, so all possible needs will almost certainly be met.
