There are few people in our time to surprise the dressing room: whether in an elite apartment or in the old Khrushchev. Its presence is not just a tribute to fashion, but a real desire to get rid of bulky cabinets, to hide things that are used infrequently, and to throw away the hand does not rise, and simply streamline things and shoes. And as the theater begins with a hanger, so the dressing room begins with the door. After all, it should not only be functional, but also meet the surrounding interior.

What doors for a dressing room to choose
Currently, there is a large assortment of doors for dressing rooms. When choosing, you can get confused: should you install sliding doors to the wardrobe room, or if it is worth buying folding doors, or maybe just install a partition? It is important to understand that the door systems are installed if the dressing room is a separate room, and the partition is when part of the room is allocated for the dressing room. And of course, if the wardrobe doors do not harmonize with the general style of an apartment or room, then they will look ridiculous and alien.
In order for the doors of the wardrobe room can fit into any style of home design, designers of various manufacturers tried to fame. The doors in a monochrome design, from matte or translucent glass, covered with white varnish and many other original deposits, are presented. At the same time, the doors for the dressing room are not only beautiful, they differ in their quality and durability of operation.
Singing doors to the wardrobe room
A prerequisite for the installation of a swing door should be the presence of free space in the opening area. In addition, to save space in the wardrobe room, the swing doors are most advisable to install so that they open out.
Such a door system refers to the classic: for installation in the dressing room, ordinary interior doors are perfect. They have a number of advantages:
- economy;
- durability of operation;
- good compatibility with a common interior;
- when opening, they give a good overview of the dressing room;
- a large selection of materials and design style.
The relative disadvantages of such a door system can be classified:
- standard;
- the need for additional space (especially for a double -winged model).
The most common designs of swing doors include thyroids (a continuous shield with a thickness of 3-4 cm, which is faced on both sides). Most often, such models are sheathed with MDF sheets or molded panels. The most expensive doors are glued with veneer, acquiring a similarity with natural wood. It is noteworthy that the choice of color remains with the buyer, up to the exclusive.
Framatic swing doors are distinguished by the originality of design ideas and are made of valuable wood species. Additionally, they can be decorated with stained glass windows, unusual inserts or tinted glasses.
At its core, such doors are a frame, which inside is filled with phylene panels (as well as glass and various elements).
In the combined system of swing doors, such complex elements are used as casing, strapping or filling, as well as a thyroid canvas with a variety of decor inserts.
Massive doors made of natural wood (oak, beech or cherry) are distinguished by special strength and durability, but they require special care and are expensive. But the glass structure of the swing doors, although not very practical, is providing great opportunities for design experiments.
Sliding doors for the dressing room
The sliding design of the doors is most suitable for small areas, because the door leaf moves left - right. In addition, they have a number of other advantages:
- safety - this is especially important if the house has children and pets (you can not be afraid of accidental pinching of fingers or paws; and get out of the wardrobe if you accidentally close such a door);
- ease of installation;
- a large selection of door sizes (up to non -standard);
- when failing of a structure of the structure, it is easy to replace with a new one.
When choosing sliding doors, it is necessary to take into account their shortcomings:
- higher cost in comparison with swing structures;
- due to the presence of cracks, unwanted smells are easily missed (this is especially important if the dressing room is located near the kitchen);
- the fragility of the structure of the sliding doors, which entails their failure;
- when driving along the guide rails, although a small, but still noise that can interfere with the sleep of other inhabitants in the adjacent room;
- limited viewing of the dressing room.
The sliding door for the wardrobe includes:
- strong frame;
- sliding mechanism consisting of aluminum guides, rollers and bearings (it is closed by decorative elements for aesthetic considerations);
- door leafs that are made of various materials and differ significantly in style;
- accessories that include a set of fasteners and pens;
- a set of platbands.
Despite the fact that the choice of materials from which sliding doors are made is large, the most often use glass and wooden structures. Currently, mirror doors are increasingly popular. On them, as in ordinary glass, you can apply a beautiful painting, sandblasting pattern or fusing (one of the popular stained glass techniques). Mirror surfaces can be made of hardened glass and triplex (multilayer glass), which significantly increases their strength. Plastic is most often used in youth interiors (one -color translucent or with tinting).
Some potential buyers of sliding doors confuse the threshold, which is formed from the lower guides. This inconvenience can be avoided by stopping your choice on such a hinged system that is attached only from above. It should be taken into account that such a system requires the presence of the ideal level of floor and ceiling.
Perhaps you will be interested in the Smart Threshold system: when the doors are closed, the built -in threshold is lowering from the groove of the door leaf, and when opened, the threshold rises automatically (which will cut off the penetration of unpleasant odors into the dressing room).
Varieties of the sliding system of doors
Folding doors are conditionally divided into:
- wardrobe doors, the mechanism of which consists of two parts: the 1st part with loops is mounted on the box, and the 2nd is equipped with a roller and moves along the guide;
- harmosa doors consist of several sections connected by loops, which simply fold in an open state.
The wardrobe room doors have long been loved by our compatriots for their durability in operation and reliability. In the dressing room, the door consisting of one canvas is most often installed, which moves through the rollers along the guide. Experts argue that if the rollers and the guide consist of various materials, then the whole design will be less noisy. And if the kit is present in the kit (it is installed around the perimeter of the doorway), then this will delay the penetration of unwanted aromas. However, this design of the door will not allow you to put furniture and other interior items tightly to the wall along which the door leaf moves.
Penal doors are a hidden sliding structure system. The door leaf disappears in the wall or drywall. Such a system does not need floor guides. The uniformity of the door of the door leaf is facilitated by the floor controller and the lower guide profile, which are hidden under the canvas themselves and are absolutely not noticeable from the side. Penal doors look very aesthetically pleasing, but the installation of such a door system is the most complex and time-consuming.
The rot-prove are equipped with a unique mechanism, which allows you to open the door both from itself and on themselves. In this case, the door leaf rotates on the axis and remains inside the opening. Undoubtedly, such a system will surprise with its originality, and besides, in the dressing room and you can wear things from it, even if the hands are busy.
The-techno doors are made in an ultramodern style and, according to the principle of action, somewhat reminiscent of the doors-channel. However, the sliding mechanism of such a system does not need hidden installation - on the contrary, its stylish elements emphasize the surrounding interior. The door leafs of this design are made of metal, hardened glass and other modern materials. In addition, an additional advantage is that the installation of such doors in the dressing room does not take much time and effort. And the wall panels and telescopic platbands will make the opening of any depth. The owners of this modern system will also appreciate its noiselessness.
Somewhat separate from all varieties of door systems are radius doors (or radial). Most often, such doors are sliding. Their feature lies in the fact that the door leafs are curved (convex, concave, oval, round or combined). Radius doors for the dressing room are made only to the customer’s order, and have the appropriate high price. When ordering such an unusual door system, you can specify the desired radius of curvature, size, material and color. With your own hands, such dressing doors can hardly be installed - a lot of accurate measurements and calculations are required.
DIY sliding doors for a dressing room
When the entire set of the door system is purchased, you can proceed to its installation (for the example of the cape door).
- You should start work with marking the places where the guides will be fixed.
- Next, the upper guide is attached using screws to the doorway or ceiling.
- The lower guide (if it is provided in the design), do not rush to fix. At first, it simply applies to the floor parallel to the upper track.
- The roller mechanism of the door of the door is inserted into the groove of the upper guide track.
- The lower rollers by pressing the fingers drive into the door leaf (there is a spring mechanism), and then install in the groove of the lower guide.
- Using the construction level, a canvas in the opening is set. And then, with a pencil, note the exact location of the lower track.
- The door leaf is removed and the lower guide is installed according to the marking. And the process of installing the door leaf is repeated.
- After installing the canvas, it is necessary to adjust the compolling door. To do this, you need to twist the adjusting screw with a hexagon (it is located in the lower side profile of the door itself).
- Next, proceed to gluing the end brush on the side surfaces of the profile.
- In conclusion, devices are exhibited that fix the spontaneous opening of the cape door (stop-positioning).
Over time, during operation, it may be necessary in a small adjustment and small repair:
- it is periodically necessary to inspect the guide if it came out of the “nest” (with the help of a regular hammer and wedge, you can return it to its place);
- if you notice the deformation of the video, simply replace it with a new one;
- perhaps a violation of adjustment, then use the hexagon again and twist the adjusting screw;
- clean the guides from pollution, and they will last much longer;
- durability is also promoted by the use of lubricants for the roller mechanism and guides.
With proper skill and desire, you can make the door to the dressing room yourself. To do this, it is recommended to opt for those materials that are easily processing. Because without special equipment and professional skills, for example, a mirror door leaf will be impossible. The same applies to shock -resistant glass. Therefore, the natural tree of inexpensive rocks (pine, poplar or apple tree) is best for the independent manufacture of the door leaf. And for inserting, you can use plastic, acrylic glass or even specially made sheets of paper (it can be easily painted with thematic patterns).
