Why Do More And More People Choose To Install Pt Doors In The Kitchen?

Any product that cannot keep up with the trend of the times will eventually be eliminated. The same is true for traditional decoration techniques, which can no longer meet today's aesthetics.

Take the traditional sliding door in the kitchen as an example. Many families have stopped installing it. Sliding doors are gradually being replaced by some new products, such as PT doors, linkage doors, etc.

Why not install traditional sliding doors? Traditional sliding doors have been used for many years, and they have the following shortcomings and have long been disliked by people. Most kitchen sliding doors are installed with floor rails, and the grooves of the floor rails are the easiest to hide dirt and need to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will affect the daily opening and closing of the door, because the garbage will get stuck in the floor rails, which can cause serious damage. Friends who have cleaned the sliding door floor rails know that it is very troublesome to clean up, especially the stubborn stains attached to the floor rails. Usually you have to squat on the ground and clean them slowly with a toothbrush. If copper or aluminum bars are used instead of floor rails, the situation will be slightly better.

Secondly, the accessories of sliding doors are easy to damage. Some sliding doors use hanging rails, which can avoid the trouble of cleaning, but there will be other problems. Because it is supported only by hanging rails, the sliding door is prone to shaking during the opening process. Even after closing the door, it will shake significantly when it is accidentally touched. If the force is improper or too strong, it may even derail the sliding door and the whole door will fall out. The longer it is used, the greater the probability of the hanging rail falling, which will cause the door leaf to be unable to be pushed.

The inflexible opening of some door leaves is also a problem. Most kitchen sliding doors are two, and some are four. No matter how many doors there are, when the door is opened, it will occupy 1/2 of the door opening. For example, if the door opening is 1.6 meters, there is only 0.8 meters left to walk when the door is opened. The kitchen door openings of many commercial houses are about 1.6 meters. After the door is installed, this walking width will cause certain troubles in life. For example, if you buy a large refrigerator and want to put it in the kitchen, you find that the refrigerator cannot fit in at all. In the end, you can only remove the sliding door or the cabinet door of the refrigerator. Some friends with strong bodies may accidentally bump into it, causing physical pain and damaging the sliding door.

Why is PT door popular nowadays?

In view of the above shortcomings of traditional sliding doors, a PT door has appeared now. It is a door that can be pushed and pulled and opened horizontally. PT doors are much more flexible and practical than traditional sliding doors. Even if the kitchen door opening is small, there is no need to worry. This is inseparable from some of its own advantages:

PT doors can be made into two or three interlocking doors. When the interlocking doors are stacked together, they can also be opened 90 degrees or 180 degrees to the wall according to the on-site situation. They can also be used as interlocking doors, which are very flexible! For apartments with narrow kitchen door openings, PT doors are undoubtedly a good choice! When the PT door is fully opened,

it forms a semi-open kitchen, which can even be integrated with the restaurant to make the space appear more spacious.

Since the PT door is opened by ceiling plus side door hinges, there is no floor rail or aluminum strip, which avoids the cleaning trouble caused by the floor rail. The floor tiles can be laid from the dining room to the kitchen, and the threshold stone is not needed, making the overall more unified and harmonious. Usually, you only need to mop the floor regularly or use a sweeping robot to clean it, and you don’t need to squat and use a brush to clean it.

The hardware accessories used in the PT door have a buffering effect and have a good silent effect when sliding. Whether it is pushed or opened, it has good comfort. There is a magnetic latch on the ground of the PT door. When the door is closed, the latch plays a stabilizing role, so that the door will not shake or derail. When the PT door is opened, it can also form convection with the sliding window in the living room, so that there is a "through wind" in the house, further improving the comfort!

What are the matters to pay attention to when making PT doors?

Although PT doors have many advantages, you should pay attention to the following points when choosing: the quality of hardware accessories should be good. The reason why PT doors can be pushed and pulled and opened is entirely dependent on hardware accessories. Therefore, when choosing a PT door, in addition to looking at the style, you should also check the quality of the hardware accessories. It is best to choose a first-line brand product with quality assurance. Otherwise, PT doors are prone to problems, maintenance is troublesome, and the price is not cheap.

Pay attention to the support of the hanging rail. Since the PT door is installed on the hanging rail and mainly relies on the top support, the top of the door opening must be reinforced during decoration. It is recommended to reinstall a door head beam made of reinforced concrete in the kitchen door opening. The thickness should be more than 10CM, and the two sides should be more than 10CM longer than the door opening, so as to better support the PT door. Many people ignore this point when making PT doors or hanging rail doors. After a long time of use, the ceiling is easy to fall, affecting the opening of the door. With the emergence of PT doors, even if the kitchen door opening is small, there is no need to worry about affecting walking. Compared with traditional sliding doors, PT doors do make life more convenient.
