The bathroom is an important place in the home. There is usually a lot of water. In addition to dry and wet separation, the choice of bathroom door is also very important. When choosing a door in the bathroom, we should first look at the moisture-proof performance and deformation resistance: from the perspective of most room types and daily use habits, the ventilation effect of most toilets is not very good, and the bathroom is a bathing space, so there is more water. Under normal circumstances, the bathroom is a relatively humid place in the residence, so the bathroom door must first have good moisture-proof performance and deformation resistance. Then look at permeability and privacy: the two are not contradictory, which mainly means that the bathroom door should be transparent but not perspective. The bathroom is a space with high privacy requirements except for the bedroom, but because most of the bathroom areas are relatively small, if the selected door has poor light transmission effect, the whole space will appear very dark after closing the door. Staying in a closed space makes people feel insecure.
Today, I will introduce the way of opening the bathroom door. The common ways of opening bathroom doors are: swing door, sliding door, folding door, invisible door, etc.
Swing door
Advantage:
(1) The side hung door has been used as a tool to prevent wind and sand, and its sealing performance is better than other door opening methods.
(2) There is a layer of colloid around the swing door, which can effectively isolate water vapor when closing.
(3) As the most common way of opening the door, the swing door has high public acceptance and is suitable for families with sufficient new housing area
Disadvantages:
(1) Because it is often used, the side hung door has high requirements for hardware accessories, otherwise it will reduce the service life of the bathroom door.
(2) The side hung door can not make good use of the space area. It can only be carried out in the way of horizontal pulling. This way makes it occupy a certain area, which is not friendly for small houses.
Generally, there are many families with flush doors in the bathroom, but special attention should be paid to the direction of opening the door, whether it is an inward sliding door or an outward sliding door, depending on the type of bathroom door. For example, the door of the bathroom is facing the corridor, so it’s best to push the door inward and open the door inward, which neither occupies the corridor space nor brings moisture to the corridor, so that the corridor looks clean and tidy and avoids mildew.
There are also disadvantages of pushing the door inward. If the door is pushed inward, a space should be left in the bathroom. There must be nothing behind the door, which takes up the internal space of the bathroom.
2. Sliding door.
Advantage:
(1) The sliding door covers a small area, and the opening and closing are completed in the same plane, which can save a lot of space for the small bathroom.
(2) If the sliding door adopts the lifting rail (i.e. the installation rail on the upper part of the door), it can not only reduce the accumulation of dust, and there is no threshold on the ground, which will not cause water stains, but also reduce the tripping phenomenon of family members, which is suitable for the situation of old people or children at home.
Invisible push and pull door handle can effectively reduce the collision problems of the elderly and children.
Disadvantages:
(1) The sliding door cannot be separated from the track. If you plan to make a sliding track (i.e. the track on the ground), after long-term use of the bathroom sliding door, a lot of dust will accumulate on the track. Coupled with water vapor, it will even produce mold, which is more difficult to clean.
(2) If it is not cleaned for a long time, the flexibility of the door will be reduced.
3. Folding door
Advantage:
(1) As a product of the new era, most folding doors are made of new materials, which are light in weight and easy to open and close.
(2) The size of the shower door opening is usually between 760-800mm. If the door opening size or the toilet area is too small, you might as well try folding the door. The folding door is pushed to the end, which will only occupy one side of the space, which can maximize the space saving. It is very suitable for the decoration of new houses with small houses.
Disadvantages:
(1) Folding doors and roads overlap, which is easy to hide dirt in the middle and difficult to clean.
(2) Folding door technology is more complex, and the price will be more expensive than ordinary doors.
(3) After the folding door has been used for a long time, the hinge and pulley appear aging phenomenon, and the gap between the door leaves will become larger and larger, which will not only affect the thermal insulation, but also leak privacy. If you live with your partner and the new house is not large enough, you can consider the way of folding the bathroom door.
When choosing folding doors, you can see the appearance quality. Touch the frame and panel with your hand. If there is no scratch, it feels comfortable, indicating that the quality of folding doors is good.
In addition, the quality of the guide rail of the bathroom folding door will also affect the quality of the door, so when buying, we should see whether the guide rail is smooth, and at the same time, there should be an anti pinch design to avoid injury when opening the door.
4. Invisible door
Advantage:
(1) The biggest advantage of the invisible door is to hide the bathroom. Using the invisible door as a background wall or decorative wall can also improve the overall visual effect of the space.
(2) As a product of the new era, invisible doors are generally of high appearance value, which is suitable for people who pursue fashionable design in new home decoration.
Disadvantages:
(1) There is no door pocket in the construction of the invisible door, which is easy to deform in the process of use. The invisible effect of the invisible door will become worse after a long time.
(2) For invisible doors without door pocket protection, the contact surface between the door leaf and the wall will accumulate a lot of dirt over time, which is inconvenient to clean.
