What is the thickness of the sliding door in general?
Sep 17, 2021
It depends on the size you need and needs to be measured on the spot. If it is a single sliding door, such as a kitchen, there must be a place where the sliding door can be opened. Generally speaking, the thickness of the large sliding door is: 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, most of which are 100mm; the thickness of the small sliding door is: 50mm, 40mm, 35mm, most of which is 40mm; the thickness of the wardrobe sliding door is: 40mm, 35mm, 20mm, Plate 50mm.
The thickness requirements of different sliding doors are different, and the thickness of sliding doors of different materials is also different. If glass or silver mirror is used as the door core, it is generally 5mm thick; if wood is used as the door core, 10mm thickness is the best. In order to save material costs, some manufacturers use thinner wood boards (8mm or even 6mm) instead. Wooden boards that are too thin appear to be frivolous and swaying when pushed and pulled, and have poor stability. After a period of use, they are very easy to warp and deform, and the guide rails are stuck, resulting in unsmooth pushing and pulling, which affects normal use.
The wood panels used for sliding doors (mainly fiberboard and particleboard) are man-made panels, and the adhesives used contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde. At present, the many wall cabinet door manufacturers on the market mostly produce their wood panels in China, and even use coarse wood panels. Many panels have excessive formaldehyde content, which is distributed indoors and pollutes the environment. In the cold northern season, when doors and windows are closed, the health of consumers is even greater. Therefore, when purchasing a sliding door, consumers must first understand the material of the door panel of the sliding door, whether there is a big smell, if there is, it is not a good product.
If you use one-sided sliding in a general room, leave at least 650mm of clear width. On the construction drawings, generally leave a doorway of 700 for the bathroom.
