Speaking of the door, in addition to its material will affect the performance, the opening and closing of the door also determines its practicality. Many people will be entangled in the decoration of the sliding door and the open door, which is more practical? How should we choose?

What is a swing door?

The way of flat opening is that one side of the door is fixed on one side of the wall with a metal hinge, and the other side is opened with the hinged wall stack as the axis.

What is a sliding door?

The push-pull method, as the name suggests, is to push and pull in a horizontal straight line. Generally, such doors have tracks up and down.

Swing door vs. sliding door, which one is better?

1. Comparison of tightness

The most important thing for a door is to seal it. If the sealing of the door body is not good, it will not only have poor thermal insulation function, but also make noise. The opening and closing methods of the door are different, and the sealing effect is also different. Since the swing door is composed of two or more doors, the door bodies need to be staggered to leave a distance for pushing and pulling, so its sealing performance is worse than that of sliding doors. It is not suitable for rooms with high requirements for room sound insulation and thermal insulation.

2. Clean up

In addition to the function, whether the door body is easy to clean also affects our future use. Compared with swing doors, sliding doors are more likely to accumulate dirt due to the track on the ground, and it is more troublesome to clean up.

3. Occupation of space

The flat opening method needs to occupy a certain space when opening and closing, so it is not suitable for places with relatively small areas. For example, if the bathroom and balcony are installed flat, it will reduce the space utilization and even affect the placement of furniture, and even the drying of clothes.

4. Price

Although the integrity of the sliding door is better than that of the swing door, and its structure is relatively stable, the door body will not sink in the later stage. However, it is relatively expensive.
