Rating of the best sliding systems for interior doors for 2022

The best manufacturers produce many popular models that will successfully divide the space into zones, saving space as much as possible. The question of where to buy sliding systems is not difficult. Devices are sold in any specialized stores. Structurally, the doors differ from each other. Many varieties. Interior structures also belong to the category of demand. There is no limit to the flight of designer imagination. Bold imagination delights, surprises, sometimes baffles.

The principle of fittings

Differences are seen in a variety of configurations (produced as radius, rectangular, arched), but also in designs (sliding-folding or parallel-sliding). The best domestic and world manufacturers produce non-standard and standard models using various materials or their combinations.

A huge number of products are produced, differing from each other constructively, functionally, in the way of installation and fastenings. The difference is not only in design, but also in the principle of movement, but also in withdrawable elements and mounting methods. There are such types:

View	Description
Parallel sliding	One or two sashes are installed. Move parallel to the floor. A distinctive feature is perfect sound insulation, maximum saving of free space. Durable and reliable.
Sliding-folding	Outwardly, they look like an accordion. Extraneous aromas and noises are missed, which is their main drawback. Most often they are installed in order to carry out zoning of space. They can act as a decorative element. Consist of several sections.

Let's look at each type in more detail.

Parallel sliding products

Models differ in the number of sashes and the principle of opening. What are the options? There are such main types of structures:

1. Cassette. The number of moving elements is one or two. They function like compartment doors.A key feature is the presence of small niches in the wall, in which elements are placed after opening. For the manufacture of a niche, drywall or a material similar in characteristics is used. Sometimes the finished fixture is sold in a set with a sliding design.
2. Coupe. Can be single or double sided. The first type will move parallel to the wall. The second option differs only in that the wings move in opposite directions. The principle of operation is similar.
3. Radius. Such products are characterized by rounded frames. Differ in the original design decision and showiness. They move along specially provided guides that repeat the radius of the products.
4. Intra-hole. Sliding type design consisting of several doors moving towards each other. Only half of the opening acts as a passage.
5. Cascading. Consist of one stationary and several mobile elements. Individual guides are used to move elements. Can be fixed on either side of the opening.

Sliding-folding doors

In the people they are called "books" or "accordions". They differ in interesting design, functionality, compactness and increased comfort in operation. There are double-sided and single-sided. A single canvas is a set of sections of a vertical plan, which are connected by hinge-type fasteners. They are in high demand due to their compactness. They do not require a free area or a case for moving elements.

According to buyers, these are the best fixtures for interior products in the presence of limited space. They can move in any direction.What should you pay special attention to avoid making mistakes when choosing? Possible reduction in the width of the opening, although the thickness of such a design is insignificant. Therefore, the loss of free space is negligible. Ideal for rooms with narrow aisles and corridors, where the installation of other types of structures can lead to a negative result.

Differences in mounting mechanisms for sliding systems

All products of the sliding plan are able to function in the presence of special fittings. She is different. There are differences in design, weight and size. A variety of options for mounting methods, types of guides, roller mechanisms and the number of gutters are produced. Roll-out systems also differ in design features. Models are produced:

1. With two guides (lower and upper). Moves due to the presence of rollers with needle bearings. Guides are mounted on the floor (or in the floor) and above the product. In this situation, the structure is firmly fixed in a vertical position. Able to provide excellent heat and sound insulation. The disadvantages include careful care of the lower rail, as debris is constantly stuffed there, which interferes with the movement process.
2. With one guide (top). The principle of operation is movement along one rail. It is installed above the structure. It is worth checking first and making sure the reliability and strength of the walls. Aluminum rails, locking elements, roller mechanisms and a frame installation kit are used. The number of rollers to be installed depends on the weight of the product. For 70 kg of the product you will need one set of elements. If you have to cope with significant weight, you will have to purchase several sets of rollers.To prevent the doors from accidentally derailing, they resort to the help of a stopper. Special flags will nullify the appearance of backlash of the valves.

Roll-out mechanisms have a number of advantages:

• The shutters move smoothly and silently. This is facilitated by ball bearings and rollers coated with silicone.
• The durability and safe use of the design is achieved by the quality factor of the upper guide and its high rigidity.

The ways of sliding mechanisms vary, and therefore they are divided into devices:

1. Open type. A distinctive feature is the ease of modification. It is a combination of guides and roller bearing elements. The number of profiles varies depending on the weight of the door, its stability, specific use, and so on. Easy to install. The strength of the walls and the material of their manufacture do not matter. A variation is considered to be a barn mechanism, consisting of a door leaf of special fasteners, rollers and guides. The design is installed in spacious aisles. Steel is used in the manufacture. The ride is smooth and silent. Bearings are reliable. An additional element is a special closer. The barn system is considered the best option for sliding gates.
2. closed type. It occurs quite rarely. Assumes full or partial concealment of the canvas in the wall. It is used when installing a frame partition. A distinctive feature is the additional completion of the wall surface with a cassette. It is attached to the wall, creating a niche. The material of manufacture is identical with the door leaf. The cassette can be made by hand. The main material of manufacture is drywall, but other material is also suitable. The positive point is the originality of the design solution and ease of use.The disadvantage is the need for regular and thorough maintenance and the difficulty in carrying out repairs.

Sliding systems differ in the number of guides. Products of both foreign and domestic production are single-track and double-track. A single-track system involves the movement of the web along one profile-type rail, which can be attached to both the ceiling and the wall. And there is no bottom bracket. Which company is better to buy a product depends on personal preferences.

There is also a combined version, which has two guides along which the rollers ride. Used for canvases with a large weight. Allows you to evenly distribute the load throughout the structure. Use is easy and simple. The best option for decorating a space in which a family with small children lives. Open even with a slight touch.
