Sliding doors - a practical solution for modern interiors

Sliding doors that slide into the wall are one of the most popular solutions in the arrangement of modern interiors. Thanks to its functionality and aesthetics, it is ideal for use in spaces where every centimetre of space counts. The use of sliding doors allows optimum use of space, giving rooms a light and minimalist feel. Sliding doors enable significant space savings, and are particularly recommended for small rooms such as dressing rooms, bedrooms or lobbies. In the following article, we take a look at the different types of sliding doors, their use and the mounting systems that facilitate their installation.

Sliding system - what is it?

A sliding door system is a solution for installing doors that do not open outwards or inwards, but move along a wall or retract into it. Sliding systems include both wall-mounted models and dedicated sliding door cassettes. Wall-retractable sliding doors require a cassette, which allows the door leaf to be concealed in a special structure. A wall-mounted sliding system, such as POL-SKONE's sliding system, ensures durability and smooth operation while taking care of the aesthetics of the interior.

The concealed door cassette - functionality and aesthetics

The concealed door cassette is a key element that determines the functionality and durability of sliding doors. The sliding door cassette, in which the door leaf is concealed, and the guide system, which ensures smooth operation of the door. The cassette can be made of aluminium or other durable materials that guarantee reliability for years. The cassettes for retractable doors are available in a variety of variants to suit standard doors and non-standard models such as glass doors or double sliding doors.

Types of concealed doors

The variety of sliding doors allows them to be tailored to suit a variety of user needs. The most common types are:

• retractable sliding doors - ideal for small spaces such as bedrooms or bathrooms.
• concealed sliding doors - which blend perfectly into the wall, giving the interior a minimalist feel.
• telescopic doors - featuring door leaves that retract one behind the other to optimise space even further.
• bi-fold sliding doors - bi-fold sliding doors are an elegant solution to open up large spaces, ideal for living rooms, dining rooms or offices. Their symmetrical design and variety of finishes make them a functional and aesthetic element of any interior.

Installing sliding doors - how to do it?

The installation of sliding doors requires care and the use of appropriate mounting systems. The sliding installation system is based on fitting the cassette to the retractable door into the wall and installing guides to allow the door to operate smoothly. Installing a sliding door can be done by yourself, but for more complex projects, such as a built-in sliding system, it is worth enlisting the help of specialists.
