Compliance of canvas parameters with building codes
Indicators of alternative designs are not specified in GOSTs, however, the height of the opening for sliding doors obeys generally accepted rules. So, in a standard apartment given value varies between 1900-2100 mm depending on the purpose of the room.
Smallest sizes traditionally characterized by small rooms with unfavorable conditions operation. The bathroom, toilet, kitchen are equipped with small passages, rarely exceeding 1900 mm.
In the living room or bedroom, the maximum height of sliding doors, based on the passage parameters, is 2100 mm.
However, not all premises were built taking into account building standards. Ancient mansions, commercial buildings, new buildings may have their own openings, which are not regulated in any way by documents. IN in this case The only way out is to invite a measurer, and then order the product, guided by the results obtained.
Coupe. Sash external system during installation it is superimposed on the opening, and therefore should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the latter dictate. For example, a blade with an indicator of 2000 mm is installed in a passage of 1975 mm (approximately). The size of the finished opening in this case is about 2050 mm.
Pencil case. The recommended dimensions of the installation opening for a hidden modification with a leaf value of 2000 mm are 2150 mm, which is due to the installation features of the built-in unit.
Whatever system you prefer, the maximum height for a sliding door can be almost any indicator. Most companies manufacture structures whose dimensions correspond to openings of 2800-3200 mm, but it is also possible to produce taller blocks.
I want to install a threshold-free (with a “flag” at the bottom) system of sliding doors in a wall where there is no opening yet. The size of the door leaf is 200x60 cm. Please tell me what size of the opening I should make for normal operation doors? Thank you.
- overhead – moving parallel to the wall;
- built-in – moving inside a special cassette box built into the wall.
About the opening for overhead sliding doors
The overlay door leaf moves along the wall almost independently, and the only element that combines it into a single structure with the opening is the sliding mechanism. Therefore, the only requirement for the size of the opening for installing sliding doors of this type is: its width should be approximately 20 mm narrower than the width of the door leaf, and its height should be 20 mm higher. This provides the required gap of 15-16 mm between the finishing floor covering and the bottom edge, as well as covering the opening with a closed door.
Thus, to install an overhead single-leaf door with a standard leaf size of 600x2000 mm, you need to prepare a doorway measuring 580x2020 mm. The length of the sliding rails fixed over the opening should be equal to twice the width of the door, that is, 1600 mm.
An overhead single-leaf sliding door is connected to the opening only by the sliding mechanism of the structure
When installing the invoice sliding system into the opening of a plasterboard wall, in the places where the upper sliding mechanism with an aluminum track is attached, it must first be strengthened from the inside with mortgages wooden beams.
Opening for sliding built-in door
The built-in sliding door system is modern, aesthetic and convenient in that it can be installed without additional reinforcement in wall openings made of any material, including plasterboard. It is a stable structure consisting of an opening, a door with a sliding mechanism and a pencil case within which it moves. Doors of this type are installed during construction or overhaul premises.
The cassette for a built-in sliding door can be installed without additional reinforcement in wall openings made of brick, wood, foam concrete and even plasterboard
To install a built-in sliding door system with door leaf dimensions of 600x2000 mm, you need to make an opening in the wall with overall dimensions 1350x2100 mm, that is, equal to twice the width of the door leaf, its height and additional “technological” 150 mm wide and 100 mm high, necessary for installing the sliding mechanism and door frame. After finishing installation work gaps are filled polyurethane foam, the structure is covered with plasterboard and prepared for finishing.
Many manufacturers produce built-in or cassette sliding door systems adapted to door leaves standard width from 600 to 1000 mm, equipped with a ready-made pencil case and a sliding mechanism guide with carriages and rollers for hanging the door leaf.
As a way to design large-scale openings, many owners consider structures on casters. Due to their compactness and visual lightness, they look harmonious even in limited areas of space, without burdening the interior or creating a feeling of pressure. For example, sliding doors 2 meters wide are excellent in organizing dressing rooms in bedrooms and hallways. But even over large areas they sound great. A living room decorated with a similar model acquires even more spaciousness and exclusivity. Standard height such structures are also 2 meters, however, they are made to order and very high doors with mounting at ceiling level.
Technical features and options
It is impossible to get sliding doors 2 meters wide using a single panel. Usually included in such engineering solutions two or three sections are used, enclosed in a box or without one. The height of the sashes can be any - both standard and far beyond the limits dictated building codes. In particular, models with a height of 3-4 m are produced to order.
The system can be implemented in different ways:
- using a single guide fixed in the wall or ceiling above the passage. Two panels of standard or non-standard height are installed on the rail, which, when opened, move apart in opposite directions;
- through two tracks parallel located inside the opening. The modules move along each other. One of them may remain motionless;
- cascade method. Sliding doors 2 meters wide use a three-channel profile, where each channel is combined with its own section. They move in different directions or move towards one edge.
Only the first option allows you to completely open the opening - others make it possible to free it by half or two-thirds. However, you can secure the structure inside the wall using a metal case designed for several sashes. Those going into the inner parking lot in open position, provide free passage and save 100% of the area around it.
What are recoil models made from?
If you are going to buy a 2 meter wide sliding door for a dressing room, it makes sense to give preferencemirror canvases . They ideally match the character of a given room, eliminate the need to install a stationary mirror, visually extend the space, facilitating the integration of the utility area into the overall interior.
There are all-glass products and options enclosed in frames:
- made of aluminum - a durable, deformation-resistant, but lightweight metal, which can be transformed in every possible way using anodizing, laminating, and painting technologies;
- from natural wood or MDF with veneer coating. Varnish, carving, brushing, patination - wood profile becomes a worthy frame for the mirror insert.
The hall of a private house or apartment can be decorated with an airy and elegant design made of transparent, matte, stained glass. In the offices classic design Solid wood products look great. Current types sliding doors 2 meters wide best prices Sold by Academy.
To clarify, let's divide this question into several points, namely:
1. Height of the canvas. Based on our experience, we would like to clarify that the maximum height of the canvas should be no more than two and a half meters, a maximum of two meters and seventy-five centimeters. Why did we come to this conclusion? Because if the height of the canvas exceeds the recommended size, then it is almost impossible to avoid the so-called windage of the canvas (curvature at the moment of movement). If the canvas tall sizes, then we recommend using pillars with a width of at least eighty millimeters in the product. At the request of the customer, it is possible to produce stand-ins of almost any width, without increasing the cost of the product, since the price of sliding partitions and sliding doors is determined only by the square footage, the model and colors of the veneer do not affect the price. The conclusion is simple: the wider the fabric binding, the stronger the product itself. It is important to understand that in the production of sliding partitions and doors in pursuit of design solution We must not forget about the reliability of the product, which is the main factor that must be taken into account. We must not forget that to the height of the canvas, when attached to the ceiling, it is necessary to add from eleven to twenty-five centimeters, designed for mechanisms and profiles.
2. Blade width. When determining this aspect it is also important to take into account the fact that the main criterion is the reliability of the sliding partition or door, and not appearance products. Based on this, we recommend not exceeding one meter in width of the canvas. If this cannot be avoided, we recommend using the bottom rails in conjunction with the top mount.
3. Using a transom. This point is very advantageous when using sliding partitions and sliding doors. Let's explain in more detail. The first point is the appearance of the product, it becomes richer and more beautiful in our opinion. You can see photos using the transom in the catalog. The second point concerns the size of the opening to be blocked, since the use of a transom allows you to install a sliding partition or sliding door in almost any highest opening.
4. Bottom rails. As we wrote above, the use of lower rails in sliding partitions and sliding doors are relevant for wide door sizes. In our practice, we have encountered canvases more than three meters wide. The main advantage is that the lower rails allow the canvas to move more tightly in the opening without swaying.
There are no standard doorways, there are only standard size doors. Doorways are prepared to fit the size of the door. We will look at what the correct doorway size for an interior door should be in this material.
In width interior doors 5 standards, and entrance doors two. Everything seems to be simple. All that remains is to list these sizes and indicate next to each exact dimensions doorways. (See this table below.) But there are features that you should pay attention to.
What do doors look like when they are not in their opening?
10 problems that most buyers of interior doors most often encounter >>>
Standard width of doorways
Accepted standard width door leaves from Russian manufacturers are 600, 700, 800 and 900 mm. As a rule, the cost of the door leaf for all these sizes is the same. With the exception of 900 mm wide fabric. Most manufacturers have the widest standard doors a little more expensive.
Why are doors produced? different widths? IN ordinary apartment openings in rooms are designed for doors with a width of 800 mm, in the kitchen doorways, doors with a width of 700 mm are suitable, and narrow doors with a width of 600 mm are installed in the bathroom and toilet.
Door opening dimensions for double doors
