The most difficult in the layouts of urban apartments of the post-Soviet space is the narrow corridors and many overlooking rooms. We install some doors to the detriment of ourselves and the safety rules with opening in the middle of the room. But there are situations when it is simply impossible to do this. In search of solutions, we found in the building supermarket sliding interior doors-accordion that would fit perfectly into our interior.
Having studied the features of construction, fastening and material, we immediately appreciated the capabilities and practicality of the product. Modern building supermarkets have a huge plus in that you can always “get to know” the product not only with your eyes, but with your hands. Even if you later use the Internet services, first stopping in at the supermarket will not be superfluous at all. Interior doors-accordion is not a very popular product, it has many disadvantages and drawbacks, but it also finds its grateful consumer. Therefore, if before you did not pay attention to such a design, I highly recommend seeing it personally in order to double-check everything you have heard and read before. Perhaps for you it will be the solution to all problems.
So, the interior doors-accordion really have a fragile design, loose joints and lack of sound insulation. But they also have their advantages: they do not occupy space, do not slam, do not press and do not hit on the fingers, are matched to any interior. In any case, when you have only two solutions: either to have an arch, or to have interior doors accordion - then, of course, the second is better. It’s strange that the entrance to the bathroom will somehow look like an arch. And I would like to cover the kitchen when everything on the stove is boiling and frying. These are those cases when there is simply no other option.
To say that interior accordion doors only for emergency and hopeless situations is simply to belittle the original and unique design. For centuries, people used screens and were very happy about it. The accordion door is the “heir” of the screen. In modern conditions, this design will look very nice and practical in rooms separated by a narrow partition. A beautiful "accordion" can equip a non-standard opening: very high or very wide. In addition, who said that interior accordion doors can only be plastic? I agree that they are cheaper, more practical for rooms with high humidity and very light. But the "accordion" can be put in a wooden version. Then this is not just a necessity, but also a very original design move. Such interior doors - accordion - will look good in a country house, in the attic rooms and just when
dividing a room sheathed in wood.
Sometimes it’s easier to cunningly beat some options so that the cons miraculously turn into pros. And if you handle things carefully, then even the most fragile product will last a long time and please the eye. "The glass should always be half full, not half empty!" Good luck to you!
