High sliding doors. Types of sliding doors and their design features

They are used due to the fact that they give more usable area, since they do not need a large opening radius. In addition, sliding doors can combine or isolate the space of different rooms due to their simple design. Sliding compartment doors are a practical solution and modern style.

1. Hinged doors- They consist of a guide located above the door, along which the door walks, rollers go inside it, which in turn are attached to the canvas itself. It is recommended to use large rollers for the reliability and durability of the mechanism. The door is smooth. Moves along the wall. The guide is closed with decorative good.
2. Cassette doors- Consist of the same mechanism as attachments. Moves not along but deep into the wall.

Interior doors can be the most unusual! But the main trend of our time is sliding. How to make the interior design stylish, original, special with the help of this element - look at our photos.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Sliding Doors

A system of doors in which the canvas (that is, the main part) opens along the wall is called sliding.

The sliding door system was borrowed from the Japanese designers. This is not surprising, because in Japan, where an incredibly small territory and high population density are, every square meter is worth its weight in gold.

Despite the originality and strangeness, sliding doors have become part of our everyday life. There are a number of good reasons for this, which are the key benefits of using sliding doors:

Unlike swing doors, which occupy at least one square meter of usable space, sliding doors do not need additional space. Thanks to this, even the smallest apartment will become as comfortable and spacious as possible.
The number of canvases in a sliding door system can vary from one to several, which can not only become an unusual element of interior design, but also an excellent option in terms of functionality, because it is much easier to control and adjust the width of the doorway with such a door system than in the case of swing doors.
Sliding doors can serve not only as doors, but also as a multifunctional partition between rooms or zones. Sliding interior partitions are very relevant for owners or one-room apartments, where, on the one hand, you do not want to reduce and divide the area of the room, and on the other, one way or another, there is a need for each family member to have personal space. At least for a while.

However, as with every medal, sliding door systems have some disadvantages:

For sliding doors, space is saved near the doorway itself (forward or backward), however, it is critical to have space on the sides of the doors so that the sashes have where to move. This space is called "parking". Without a place to "park" the door leaf (for example, at the end of the corridor), the sliding system simply cannot be installed. Even if the parking spaces are hidden in the wall, it is not recommended to install such structures in load-bearing and adjacent walls.
Sliding doors move on rails and rollers, so it is almost impossible to open them without accompanying sounds and noise. Therefore, it is better not to install such doors in the bedrooms of those with sensitive sleep and, especially, in children's rooms.
The prices for sliding door systems are an order of magnitude higher than for standard swing structures due to the cost of the sliding mechanism (especially if it is of high quality).

Types of designs for sliding door systems

Standard

Standard sliding doors are a structure that is installed in the doorway. At the same time, the door leaf does not swing open, but moves to the side and is fixed near one of the walls.

Standard sliding doors are of two main types:

Single leaf (with one movable blade)
Double-leaf (with two movable blades)

The first option will be convenient for small rooms with tiny doorways.

If you need to install a door between two small rooms or a room and in which every square meter is important, then one-leaf sliding door systems will be the ideal option for you.

The second option is more suitable for spacious spaces with wide doorways. Thanks to this design, you can independently adjust the size of your doorway (which is very important not only in terms of functionality, but also the visual perception of the room as a whole).

Radius

The radial design of sliding door systems assumes that the door leaf does not move in a straight line, but in a circle. This option will perfectly fit into a non-standard room layout, in which there are round or curved walls.

Radial structures can be used well as stylish sliding partitions for zoning space in a room. This will be especially appropriate when creating an interior in high-tech, minimalism, fusion styles.

Harmonic

Accordions (or, as they are also called, folding interior doors) are a structure of several relatively narrow canvases that do not move away, but fold (see photo below). The beauty of this design lies in the fact that the width of the doorway when using it varies from a narrow crack (for example, so that a cat can slip into it) to a full-fledged spacious passage.

Coupe

Sliding sliding doors differ from standard ones in that the design takes up not only the doorway, but completely replaces the wall. On the one hand, depending on the materials used, this allows the room to be divided into two independent functional zones without a strong visual concealment of the space, and on the other hand, to create two or more cozy personal spaces for each family member in a studio apartment or one-room dwelling.

Separation in a studio apartment with sliding sliding doors will prevent the spread of odors and steam from the cooking zone throughout the room.

Sliding door materials

The most popular materials for the manufacture of sliding door systems today are:

Wood
Fiberboard or MDF
Glass

Wood

Wood is a traditional material for making not only doors, but also furniture in general. At the same time, both a completely leaf (s) of a sliding door system and a frame for combining with other materials can be made of wood:

Glass
Plastic
Paper
Textile
Mirror

Light flexibility of wood processing allows it to be used for interior decoration in almost any style. Want an adorable country room? Use raw wood planks! Do you like a classic interior? Choose a wooden door leaf with strict shapes. Looking for a shabby chic or art deco interior? Give preference to carved wood with wrought iron or inlay. Are you an adherent of the East? Use wood-framed canvases with rice paper inserts.

Fiberboard / MDF

Since wood is not the cheapest material, it may well be replaced by materials such as fiberboard or MDF. In appearance, they are almost impossible to distinguish from natural wood, but the cost is an order of magnitude lower than that of similar products made of natural wood.

Glass

Glass sliding doors are a great option for creating an interior in minimalism, futurism or hi-tech styles. Due to the property of glass to transmit light, glass interior sliding doors do not create a feeling of total enclosure of space. Moreover, choosing the degree of color and opacity of glass for the door leaf, you can choose the degree of transparency (and, as a consequence, integration with the adjacent room) of the interior doors.

Sliding interior partitions

The versatility of sliding door systems allows them to be used not only as doors in doorways, but also as an element of space zoning. The most common use of zoning in the interior is the zoning of studio apartments and one-room apartments. In this case, it is more of an obvious necessity than a design decision. However, sliding partitions can also be used in other cases:

If children of different sexes live in one or different ages, then with the help of a sliding partition, you can make two smaller ones from one large children's bedroom.
If you want to organize in your apartment or house, and there is no special room for this, then with the help of a sliding partition you can separate part of the bedroom for this purpose.
A large kitchen can act not only as a functional working area for cooking, but also as a full-fledged dining room. The use of sliding partitions will prevent the spread of odors through the kitchen from the cooking zone, and will also hide the "production costs" in the form of dirty dishes, garbage and other things from prying eyes.
It would be appropriate to use sliding partitions not only in residential premises, but also in offices to divide the workspace of different employees or the manager's office and, for example, a meeting room.

Thanks to a wide range of products from manufacturers of building (and not only) materials, almost all stages of repair and future interior elements can be created and installed with your own hands. And the online store Leroy Merlin will help with this, in which you can get acquainted not only with the available assortment of materials, but also with their main characteristics.

First of all, decide what type of installation you will be using. There are two types of them:

Overhead. In this case, the guides and rollers are installed on the wall, outside the doorway. This option is easier to install, but remember that the door leaves in this case will always be in sight.

Built in. In this case, the sliding mechanism is mounted inside the doorway, and the canvas is pushed into the niches in the walls. This option is more compact, however, a beginner will most likely not be able to cope with it.

Having decided on the type of installation, you can think about the type of construction of the sliding door system and the material from which it will be made. As mentioned above, the main types of sliding door designs include standard, radius, cascade (accordion) and compartment.

After the appearance of the future door has been thought out and selected, it is necessary to measure the height and width of the structure to be installed and make a markup for the superimposed mechanism.

The markings should only be applied using a water level, otherwise your doors may be skewed!

Some designs involve installing a guide not only from above, but from below. In this case, the door leaf will completely occupy the space from floor to ceiling and the door's ability to isolate noise and extraneous sounds will significantly increase.

After the guides are securely fixed, the rollers are installed in them. Each blade, depending on its width, will require one to three rollers. The edges of the guides are locked with a bracket (so that the rollers do not fly out).

The next step is screwing the door leaves to the rollers and installing the door hardware. Everything! The door is ready for use.

The tightness of standard city apartments forces their owners to use a variety of devices and designs, the operation of which will help save precious living space. Having made sliding doors on rollers with their own hands and installing them instead of traditional swing doors, the owner will be able to free up space for installing pieces of furniture or simply increase the free space of the premises. In addition, sliding structures are often installed in large openings between rooms and become a kind of mobile, allowing, if necessary, to divide them into different rooms or combine them into one large hall.

Having figured out the principles of installation of such a design, it is quite possible to assemble and install sliding doors on your own, saving on attracting craftsmen, if you have the necessary tools at hand, and the owner himself has stable skills in carpentry and locksmith's work and due accuracy.

Advantages and disadvantages of sliding door designs

The choice of specific models of sliding doors depends on the layout of the apartment, as well as on the design of the rooms. But before purchasing interior sliding systems, you need to find out not only about their positive qualities, but also about their weaknesses.

So, sliding doors have the following positive qualities:

They give considerable savings in space.
Unlike a hinged design, a sliding door will never open and close randomly from drafts.
Such doors even help to visually expand the small space of the apartment.
The advantage is the absence of thresholds in some types of such structures, which is extremely convenient if elderly people or people with disabilities, as well as small children, live in the apartment.
A sliding two-leaf door is able to divide the room into separate zones, which helps to optimally use the space of a one-room apartment.

With the right approach, the sliding door is not so difficult to install and easy to operate.
The sliding structure is able to bring individuality into the standard layout of the apartment, transform it aesthetically.
Thanks to modern technology, sliding doors are easy to automate, and this distinctive feature can be called one of the key advantages over swing structures.

However, it is no less important to know the "disadvantages" of such doors, since, having installed them, you will need to comply with some conditions of their operation:

The roller system and the guide rail, along which the door leaf will move, must always be kept in good and clean condition, otherwise they may fail, and one day the door will jam in one position.
Usually, a standard sliding structure, unlike a swing one, is not capable of high-quality soundproofing of divided rooms, since at least small gaps will remain between the door frame and the door leaf.
The door will not be able to hold back the smells from cooking, if it is planned to be installed at the entrance to the kitchen.
All the parameters of the structure during its installation must be well measured, and its elements must be installed ideally exactly vertically and horizontally, otherwise the door may wedge. However, this requirement probably applies to all types of door structures.
Installing a two-leaf door is a more complicated process than one consisting of one leaf, since the moving leaves will need to be very accurately adjusted not only to the doorway, but also to each other.
The high cost of sliding structures also cannot be attributed to the merits.

Varieties of sliding doors

There are several types of sliding doors. They differ from each other in design, appearance and installation of the working mechanism.

All types of sliding doors have a common principle of operation, which distinguishes them from swing structures - they move along a horizontal line, along the door and wall. But, these systems are subdivided into different types and can be:

- traditional sliding;

- cascading;

- folding - "accordion";

- radius sliding.

Any of the existing designs can be single-leaf or multi-leaf. So, in a multi-leaf system, from two to four door leaves can be included.

If the door has not yet been selected, then it is worth considering the features of each type, and only then decide on the design.

Traditional sliding sliding doors

Traditional sliding doors are subdivided into suspended, cassette suspended, and having two guides - upper and lower.

Bottom and top rail design

This type of sliding door is the most common, and is most often chosen for installation in apartments, as it is considered the most reliable, of course, with correctly exposed and fixed guides. In this design, one or more leaves move along the upper and lower rails.

It should be noted right away that this type of sliding door is quite difficult for self-assembly, since it is necessary to perfectly fit the upper and lower guides to each other.

Find out a completely doable task from a new article on our portal.

The disadvantage of this system is the fact that the lower rail is mounted on the floor surface, that is, either a threshold will be formed, or a recess will have to be cut out. In the guide profile, which is installed in the floor, dust and small debris will surely collect, which can hinder, slow down, and sometimes even block the movement of the door leaf, so you will need to constantly monitor the cleanliness of this unit very carefully.

Hanging sliding doors

Suspended structures are also quite popular, since they do not require the installation of a rail in the floor and do not have a threshold, but move only along the upper rail.

The rail is attached to the wall above the doorway or to the ceiling, depending on the height of the selected door and room. The guide can be located openly or closed with a masking or decorative cover.

The door leaf in this design option will be in a suspended state, at a distance of 10 ÷ 15 mm from the wall, so you need to take into account that it will not work to put one of the pieces of furniture against the wall towards which the door will open.

Depending on how the interior will be decorated, the false panel, which will cover the upper rail, can be fixed only on the segment of movement of the door or from wall to wall, and sometimes a similar "border" is placed around the entire perimeter of the room. In the latter case, it will serve as a decorative element of the interior and, in addition, will serve as a camouflage for the curtain rod. The option of fixing the border to all walls of the room is possible if the door rail is high enough on the wall.

Suspended sliding cassette doors

This version of sliding doors can be suspended or move along two guides. Its main difference from the previous varieties is the location of the rails and canvas inside the doorway. That is, when the door is moved along the guides, it will go into a niche arranged in the wall special for this purpose.

If a similar design is chosen in a private house, then it is usually provided in advance, when building walls or partitions. Well, in an apartment, such a niche is formed from a plasterboard structure, but in this case, you need to take into account that the size of the room will decrease by about 100 ÷ 120 mm.

The advantage of this option is a tighter fit of the end side of the door when it is closed and the absence of an open gap between the wall and the canvas, which means that the sound insulation of rooms will be an order of magnitude higher than in any other sliding structure.

In addition, by installing a similar type of door, you can free up the wall and the space in front of it, adding aesthetics and comfort to the interior.

However, taking into account all the alterations that will need to be made when installing cassette sliding doors, it is clear that the total cost of installing them will be quite high, even if all the work is done independently.

Cascade sliding structures

The cascade version of sliding doors is designed according to the same principle as the traditional one, with upper and lower guides, but differs in that it consists of several canvases, each of which moves along its own separate rail. Therefore, such a system can move apart in the form of a partition, dividing the room into two zones, or be assembled near one of the walls and overlap the room only for the width of one canvas.

Such systems are usually used as partitions, but they may well become a wall with a door if only one of the panels is moved. Such sliding structures are made most often from natural or polymer glass of different shades, and has a height from ceiling to floor, so the lower guides are built into the floor, and the upper ones are fixed to the ceiling.

Very often, such systems are used to create glazed verandas or terraces - there is always the opportunity to turn a room into an open summer recreation area.

How can you use your veranda or terrace rationally

Modern window and door designs make it possible to fully use the premises of the house or outbuildings in the winter, and in the summer to turn them into open, cozy recreation areas. An example is, which is described in a special publication of our portal.

Sliding structure - "accordion"

The sliding accordion system can act as a partition or a door. It consists of several canvases connected by end loops.

Sliding folding door construction - "accordion"

This is a rather complex structure for self-production, and the assembly is best carried out with the invitation of an experienced specialist.

The width of the door leaves can be different - it depends on the size of the opening and the free space that can be allocated for the folded structure.

The accordion system can be installed in a standard or wide doorway, as well as as a partition dividing a room into zones. When installing it to act as a partition, the guides are mounted on the floor and ceiling.

The characteristic disadvantages of this design include the almost complete absence of sound and heat insulation.

Radial sliding structures

Sliding radius systems give the interior of any room a special charm, but to install them, you will have to create a plasterboard semicircular wall. This type of structure can be used for installation in a doorway or serve as a full-fledged partition of a room, installed from ceiling to floor.

The radial version is mounted on the upper and lower guides, and can walk along the outer or inner side of the wall, as well as be built into it, that is, the empty walls inside will become a cassette in which the door leaves will be hidden when they are opened.

A well-made and correctly installed structure of this type is capable of creating a sufficiently high sound and heat insulation. However, if there is no experience in installing a radius system of sliding doors and plasterboard structures, but there is a great desire to have such a decorative and functional element in the interior of your apartment, then it is better to entrust its installation to an experienced master - independent installation will be extremely difficult.

Manufacturing and installation of a sliding door on rollers

Materials for assembling a suspended door structure

The suspended structure is the simplest option for self-installation, therefore it is worth considering how all the work is carried out, and what materials will be needed for them.

Depending on the size of the doorway, one or two door leaves are required. In this case, it is imperative to take into account the massiveness of the canvases, since according to this parameter, the elements of the fittings will be selected, which should hold them in weight.

For a suspended structure, the leaf must be larger than the doorway.

The upper guide is a rail along which the door leaves will move with the help of roller mechanisms fixed to them. The length of the guide should be equal to twice the width of one or two door leaves.

The top rail is a metal profile. It needs a bar of the same length

A wooden beam, equal in length to the rail, and having a cross-sectional size of at least 50 × 50 mm - a guide will be fixed on it.
A set of rollers and fasteners, selected according to the weight and thickness of one or two canvases.

High-quality boards or panels for framing a doorway - making a box.
Three platbands - two vertical and one horizontal, for the doorway, and a false panel that will cover the beam and guide, fixed above the doorway.
It can be built into the structure, if desired, it is installed for easier closing of the door leaf.
One or two sets of door handles.

Anchors for fixing the timber to the wall.
Self-tapping screws.
Fasteners for installing platbands and false panels.
Mounting polyurethane foam for filling the gaps between the door frame and the wall.

The table below shows the dimensions of the sliding doors with one leaf and the corresponding dimensions of the doorways:

If you are not sure that the door leaf will be made independently with the required quality, then it is better to purchase it ready-made, since the doors produced on professional equipment will look much more spectacular.

Tools for the job

Now about the tools, without which it will not be possible to make a door system and install it.

The list of the minimum required includes the following items:

Electric drill (hammer drill) with drills for wood and concrete.
Circular saw, electric jigsaw and hand saw.
Screwdriver.
Construction level, plumb line, 1000 mm ruler, square, tape measure, folding rule.
Electric or conventional planer.
Manual milling machine with a set of necessary cutters.
Hammer, chisel, pliers.

Door leaf manufacturing

If the door will be made independently, then you need to know what it can be made of, and what models of canvases can be used in this design.

Suspended doors can be solid, paneled or with the use of artificial glass installed in a frame with a different number of lintels. A solid canvas can be made from solid planks, chipboard or well-finished timber and plywood. It should be noted that all these materials are quite massive, so ready-made versions of canvases for suspended doors are often made using high-quality plastic or metal, which is used as a frame for installing transparent synthetic glass inserts into it.

In any case, whether the doors will be purchased ready-made or made independently, the parameters of the canvas should be selected depending on the size of the doorway. The exact ratios of these dimensions can be found in the tables presented above.

For example, for a doorway with one leaf measuring 865 × 2175 mm, with a box installed in it, a door with a size of 900 × 2200 mm will be required, and when installing a two-leaf structure in an opening with a size of 1765 × 2175 mm, the canvases should have a size of 900 + 900 × 2200 mm.

If a chipboard panel of the required size is purchased as a blank for a door, it can be made easier by cutting out one or more windows in it, then process their edges with a router and install thin plywood or glass in them.

The process of manufacturing a glazed or lightweight chipboard sheet is carried out as follows:

The panel is marked up to begin with. In this case, it is necessary to comply with the condition that in any case it is necessary to retreat from the edges at least 150 mm. Thus, the frame of the door leaf made of chipboard should not be narrower than this size.
After marking, the inner parts of the panel are cut out with an electric jigsaw. In order to carry out this process, a hole is drilled in one of the corners of the marking, then a jigsaw blade is inserted into it, and the marked parts of the panel are carefully cut out.
Next, you need to qualitatively process the inner edges obtained after cutting out the openings, otherwise they will look sloppy. This work can be done in two ways - to process the edges with a milling cutter or to refine it with embossed glazing bead. The glazing bead is cut to fit the windows, then glued or nailed along the entire perimeter on one side of the panel.

Further, glass or an insert from plywood is cut to the size of the window, and installed in it, pressing against the fixed glazing bead. After that, the inserts on the other side are fixed with a second glazing bead.
The end surfaces of the chipboard door leaf can be refined with a special decorative thermal tape, which is glued using a conventional iron.
If plywood inserts are installed in cut-out windows, they can be adjusted to the overall color prior to installation by painting, staining or laminating. Glazing beads should also have a color close to all elements of the door structure.
Doors can also be made of timber of different sizes in cross-section, but the thickness of the frame of the frame should not be more than 30 mm.

The beam for the manufacture of such a door leaf must be of high quality and well processed.

The beam from which the internal lintels of the frame will be made must have a smaller or the same thickness as the frame. The size of the glazing bead and the thickness of the panels that will be installed in the formed windows must be thought out in advance, since the first should not protrude outward relative to the surface of the entire door leaf.

It should be noted that the manufacture of a frame door from a bar is a more complicated process, since all frame elements are fastened together with extreme precision and reliability, otherwise the finished canvas can "lead", that is, its frame is deformed.

There are several methods of joining timber, but the most popular are in "half-tree" and "in the paw". They are quite simple to cut out, keep the structure well from deformation and reliably fasten the elements together.

It is better if the bars are fastened together not with metal self-tapping screws, or even more so with nails, but with special wooden pins, which are driven into holes drilled through, the diameter needed in the glued joints of the bars. For each of these nodes of the door frame, it is necessary to use two pins installed diagonally.

In the lower end part of the canvas, for its entire width, a groove is milled for the flag roller or, as it is called in another way, the lower door latch.

Installation of the suspension system

When the door leaf is ready, you need to fix the hardware elements on it - these are roller mechanisms, special locks or handles that are different from those that are installed in the usual swing structures. In any sliding doors, the handles are recessed into the canvas, since they should not interfere with its movement.

The first step is to mark the location of the handle on both sides of the door leaf. It should be located at a distance of 35 ÷ 50 mm from the vertical edge of the panel.
After that, the width of the nest and its height are marked from the marked line. Further, from the top point of the marking, a distance is measured equal to half the width of the future hole - this point will be the center of the circle, which is drilled with a drill-crown of the required diameter.

The same process is carried out on the underside of the marked pen slot. You should get two blind grooves with a depth to which the handle will be recessed into the canvas.
Then, the wood between the two marked crowns with round indentations is selected using a router or chisel and a hammer.

Handles in sliding structures are fixed in cut with glue, for example, "liquid nails", or snap onto special fasteners, which are pre-screwed into the resulting opening.
The next step on the upper end side of the door leaf, you need to mark and fix the roller mechanisms with self-tapping screws. Under them, most likely, you will have to choose curly grooves with a milling cutter (chisel).
The rollers must be fixed at a certain distance from the edges of the door leaf. This parameter is indicated in the instructions attached to the set of metal fittings.

Now the finished door can be set aside for the time being, and you can start refining it, of course, if the door frame is not already installed in it.
It is much easier to assemble and install a frame for sliding doors than for swing structures, since it consists of three absolutely even elements - two vertical and one horizontal boards (panels), fastened together using long self-tapping screws.

The box can be made of a solid board or chipboard - this factor does not play a big role in this case, since no load falls on the mounted structure. Its sole purpose is to give the doorway a neat and aesthetic appearance.

The fastened frame is installed in the doorway and wedged with wooden spacers, which are driven between its panels and the wall to achieve perfect verticality and horizontal alignment of the walls.

The control of the position of the box panels is carried out using a building level and a plumb line. When the structure is installed perfectly precisely, it is fixed to the walls. This can be done by drilling through holes in the boards of the box or by screwing metal plates to the end sides of the boards and to the wall.

Further, a metal guide for rollers is fixed on a prepared beam, equal to double the width of the door leaf, using self-tapping screws.
Holes are pre-drilled in the timber through which it will be fixed on the wall.
After that, roller mechanisms attached to the door are inserted into the guide rail.

The entire structure is attached to the doorway, leveled, if necessary, temporarily propped up with wooden wedges, and then the bar is “tightly” screwed to the wall.
Next, the door is moved to one side and the other side of the rail to determine the locations at the beginning and end of the rail where travel stops or blade stops will be attached. Stoppers in different door models may have different designs.

The next step in front of the open door, in its lower end part, in the cut groove, is installed and screwed to the floor a flag roller. It should be perfectly level under the top guide rail.

This lower stopper does not allow the door leaf to go to the side, that is, it does not allow its lateral vibrations.

Further, the gaps between the wall and the door frame boards are filled with polyurethane foam. After it dries, the protruding excess is cut off.
Then the timber and the guide rail are decorated with a false panel, and the gaps between the door frame and the wall are decorated with platbands.

In the case considered, the installation of the simplest sliding suspended structure, not complicated by unnecessary elements, was presented. Therefore, the installation of such a system seems to be quite affordable for independent implementation by any home craftsman, of course, provided that all the nuances are taken into account and technological recommendations are followed.

When opened, the web smoothly shifts into the cassette. Cheap sliding interior doors are available in standard sizes only. Their width ranges from 60 to 80 cm in 10 cm increments, and the height can be 200 cm or 210 cm.

Mounting

As already mentioned, "Standard Profikit" requires the cassette to be embedded in the wall - therefore the installation is carried out during its construction. The minimum thickness of the wall structure must start at 125 mm. Buying sliding interior doors inexpensively, do not skimp on their installation!

the ability to use the space in front of the door;
simple zoning of the room;
excellent aesthetic characteristics;
a wide selection of canvases;
long service life.

Casseton: affordable solutions for any interior!

We provide a unique opportunity - any size of the door leaf with a step of 1 cm. This guarantees confidence that the doors of our factory will fit any doorway. The only limitation is the maximum possible size of the canvases 240x100cm.

Keep in mind that when resizing, the proportions of panels and upright elements may change. For example, if the height of the Gloria model is increased, the inner lattice will remain the same dimensions, and with a width of 60 cm, the Vienna model can only have one row of small panels.

But in this case there is a way out - you can supplement the height of the opening with a transom in the same style as the door model. With a wide doorway, a swing door of two halves can be installed, but in this case there is a way out - you can supplement the height of the opening with a transom in the same style as the door model. With a wide doorway, a swing door of two halves can be installed.
We approach each order individually. Our managers will definitely advise and suggest the best option in a particular non-standard case.
