The so-called invisible door, as the name suggests, is a door that does not have conventional door locks, handles, or door cover lines, and the door gaps are extremely small. It is made "invisible" by setting the door and wall to have the same finish.
More and more people are using invisible doors in their homes recently, but is it really practical? Is it suitable for installation in your home?
Below, Mr. Mouton will give an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of invisible doors. Interested students can follow Mr. Mouton to read~
Disadvantages of invisible doors:
p>① Strict craftsmanship
Invisible doors are thicker than ordinary doors. The door frame needs to be grooved on three sides (top surface and both sides), and the installation process is more complicated than ordinary doors.
There are two main forms of opening and closing components:
The first is to use hinges to open and close, which is more suitable for invisible doors with light finishes (wooden doors). finishes, latex paints and wallpapers, etc.). Its process is relatively simple. It makes the door invisible by installing a concealed hinge - a wooden base layer.
The second is through the sky and earth axis + steel frame base. This kind of invisible door (stone, etc.) is more suitable for heavy finishes. It will only be considered when hinges cannot be used. The opening angle of the door will be smaller and the process requirements will be more stringent.
②High cost
In order for invisible doors to be invisible, the veneer of the door leaf must be an extension of the wall veneer.
Because it uses different materials, its price also has certain differences. Generally speaking, the price of a wooden invisible door is about 1,500-2,000 yuan, and the specific price varies depending on the material and workmanship.
In addition to door leaves, hardware (hinges, door closers, one-way door handles, etc.) is also the main cost increase for invisible doors. The hardware is not good, and the invisible door that is opened frequently has a very short life. If it breaks, it will be more troublesome to redo it.
Some people say that the most expensive thing about invisible doors is the hardware. This is true.
③Maintain frequently
Invisible doors are more delicate than ordinary doors. We need to perform regular maintenance on invisible doors.
For example, because the invisible door has no handle on one side, it is inevitable that there will be dirt in the place that is touched for a long time. Dealing with the dirt has become one of our maintenance tasks; for another example, in order to extend the service life of the invisible door, The hinges of invisible doors need to be oiled regularly.
When applying oil, we need to pay attention to the position of oiling. The two halves of the hinge are half with a shaft and half with a sleeve. The lubricating oil should be applied between the shaft and the sleeve, and slowly injected along the gap. To put it simply, when placed upright, just apply oil from the uppermost end of the intermediate shaft.
④Short lifespan
The short lifespan of invisible doors should be everyone’s biggest concern, and many people are deterred by it.
Compared with ordinary solid wood doors, invisible doors are more prone to deformation, causing thermal expansion and contraction, causing gaps around them to become more and more obvious. Not only the door panels, but also the quality of hinges, door closers and other hardware will also affect the life of the invisible door.
Advantages of invisible doors:
①Good aesthetics
Needless to say this advantage, the main reason for installing invisible doors is because it has high aesthetics and can The wall interrupted by the door opening is connected into a whole, creating the illusion that there is no door. It makes the space open and at the same time creates a unique feeling.
Small apartments can use it to break the wall into whole parts, and large apartments can use it to hide space. Why not?
②Excellent layout
Some apartment types are restricted by the layout. It may be that the bathroom facing the bed is the optimal solution for circulation. But in order to avoid Feng Shui problems, we can make the bathroom door an invisible door. At this time, you can not only hide the bathroom, but also beautify the entire home space.
However, it should be noted that if your bathroom is not an open bathroom or is too small without dry and wet separation, it is not recommended to make the door into an invisible door.
Having clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages of invisible doors, everyone must have made a basic judgment on whether to choose invisible doors~
No matter what, I hope everyone can make their own decisions. The nest is decorated reasonably and beautifully.
