If you are limited in a residential or commercial area, sliding doors will be given substantial savings. To install sliding doors, you will need special kits, whose options we will look at.
Preface
The issue of saving space still remains burning for many of our compatriots. Despite the fact that the construction of residential buildings, as well as trade and office buildings, increases from year to year, the area of many residential, administrative and industrial premises is far from satisfactory.
Since the increase in area for one reason or another is impossible, the question of the most efficient use of the area is. One of the productive ways to save space is the use of sliding doors.
In the sliding system, in contrast to the swollen, the canvas does not open, rotating on the loops, and shifts towards profiles. The entrance design is quite rare, but such systems are widely used in the interior of the premises for:
- interroom opening;
- balcony openings;
- cabinets coupe.
The system consists of a door canvase and the so-called kit, which includes:
- guides;
- roller carriages or rollers for sliding doors;
- Additional accessories - limiters, stoppers, etc.
Let's look at these elements in more detail.
Guides
As already mentioned above, in the system for interroom openings, balconies or cabinets, the door shifts to the side. In order for this movement, it takes place easily, if possible, silently and harmlessly for the material of the web, has developed a special system: the roller carriages attached on the canvas move along a special guide that has a usually P-shaped profile. Depending on the number of profiles there are two options of the system:
- System with two profiles.
- System with one guide or suspended.
With a system with two profiles, profiles are located on top and bottom of the door canvase. At the same time, the main weight takes on the lower guides, the upper serve only to hold the structure in the desired plane to avoid skewing and crushing.

The suspension system received its name due to the fact that the weight of the canvas falls on the only profile located on top - the design hangs on it. This option is easier to install and cheaper, but is considered less reliable. Lightweight decorative doors-shirms do not need any additional stabilizing devices and are held in the desired plane due to their own weight.
If the suspension system is used to attach heavy door leaf, then the shoe is made - a special rail profile for sliding doors, which is included in the groove in the lower end of the canvas. The shoe does not carry any load and serves solely for the direction of the canvas.
Guides for sliding doors are made of metal - stainless steel or aluminum and sold by whissts of 2-3 rose meters. When installing, the whip is cut into the segments of the desired length.

Roller carriages serve to move the web for profiles, for which fixedly fixes on the end of the canvas. Rollers for sliding doors depending on the intended load can be plastic or metal. To ensure silent work, you should choose a rollers equipped with rubber edging.
An important parameter to pay attention to when buying is the limit for which the rollers for sliding doors are calculated. When choosing, make sure that the weight of the door canvase does not exceed this indicator. Reduce weight allows the use of bivalve structures.
You should also consider the fastening method to which the roller carriage is calculated. Some carriages are only suitable for fixing at the top of the canvas.
Interroom kits
Sliding doors are almost never used as an entrance and very rarely for a bathroom kitchen or toilet: the design is such that it does not allow to securely insulate the room from cold, odors and evaporation. But they are great for zoning premises and are widely used as interior.

Guides and a set of rollers for sliding doors are purchased based on the installation method. There are two main ways to install interroom structures:
- installation in the opening;
- Patch method.
In the first case, profiles are located directly in the doorway. When opening, the door is retracted to a special penalty or inside the wall, or in an extended opening.
With an overhead method, the door moves along the wall. The profiles in this case are installed on the M-shaped bracket or wooden bar.

Kits
Recently, so-called coupe cabinets, also equipped with sliding-type door structures. When selecting kits for wardrobes, it is necessary to take into account their features. First, the design of the cabinet coupe, as a rule, has impressive dimensions. If at the same time it is made, for example, from the wood slab, the weight will also be very sensitive.
Secondly, almost always the door cabinet doors are open on one side, so telescopic and folding (harmonic) structures are often used.
Also, a method of load distribution is often used for the wardrobes, which is rarely found in interior versions. This option, like a suspended, has only one profile, but the load is not on it, but on the free roller space located at the bottom of the construction.
We reviewed only some aspects of the choice of sets for sliding structures. If you need more detailed advice, you can always seek help from specialists.
