Peculiarities
Swedish IKEA sliding door systems have their own distinctive features:
- Low cost.
- Easy to assemble. The design is specially adapted for non-professionals.
- Standard equipment. The parts are interchangeable and can be combined.
It is possible to assemble the door yourself from separate double door frames with guides and a set of different panels made of different materials in several color variations. To diversify the design, you can combine 2 sets of panels in one door system: make a different design for each leaf, or arrange the panels in a checkerboard pattern.
Frames with PAX guides for IKEA sliding doors are available in three color options:
- Grey. 150x201 cm costs 6,000 rubles, 150x236 cm and 200x201 cm - 7,000 rubles, and 200x236 cm - 8,000 rubles.
- White and black. 150×236 cm costing 7,000 rubles. and 200×236 cm - 8000 rub.
They are made of aluminum.
Hinged doors
Doors for Ikea cabinets can be either hinged or sliding, although the latter are usually used more often. And since cabinets are used for different purposes, the doors for them have different designs and are made with different designs.
Closet
There are 2 main designs:
- blind door - does not allow you to see the contents of the wardrobe. This is a classic solution, which, however, can be decorated in different styles. So the Vold or Meroker model is quite suitable for the classical style or modern neo-baroque. And the design of Undredal or Fardal will decorate the interior in the Art Nouveau style;
- glazed - it is preferable to install products with frosted glass in the wardrobe to also hide its contents. However, glass itself, with its ability to reflect light and structure the surface, makes furniture visually lighter and more elegant.
Accordion door
Models are made from chipboard, a lightweight material that is quite resistant to temperature and moisture changes. The film coating gives the product a resemblance to wood and very high quality. Any type of wood can be imitated: bleached oak, alder, ash, cherry. Stained wood shades are also available. The same Flisberget model can be made in Wenge and dark blue. All options are presented in the catalog.
Accordion door for cabinet
All products are supplied with fittings and fasteners necessary for self-assembly.
However, shutters cannot be used as interior doors; their maximum width is 50 cm, and this is not enough to cover even a standard doorway. In addition, mirror doors are not hinged.
Stacked doors
The price of a stacked door system depends on the material from which the selected panels are made.
Panels for sliding door frames are sold as a set of 4 pieces, in four sizes: 50 and 59x75 cm, 50 and 59x100 cm each. Various materials are used for manufacturing:

Solid fabric requires care during delivery. One person cannot handle this, unlike set doors.
Due to the narrow choice of sizes, standard sliding doors are not suitable for all wardrobes. It is also possible to adapt them for a dressing room, but this will be associated with some difficulties. It is necessary to select a suitable method of filling the space above and/or on the sides of the door system. To assemble wide wardrobes, it is possible to create a sliding system from two sets of IKEA sliding doors.
Types of paintings
There are many door options. For example, compartment doors from Ikea are made in several varieties.
The company's catalog offers:
- Solid canvases, for the production of which mainly natural wood is taken;
- Designs that contain decorative inserts made of glass or plastic;
- Completely mirror or glass panels.
All products have wear-resistant qualities, and at the same time have a low price compared to other competitors. For such high characteristics we should thank the design developments. It was they who took into account all the factors under which the company’s products would be used, including climatic conditions.
Solid fabric
Most often it has hinged doors. But Ikea often uses it in sliding structures. All models are lightweight. This is achieved by making the door in the form of a sandwich-type shield. The wooden frame is sheathed on both sides with fiberboard plates, and the insides are filled with honeycomb filler. Although this technology is not new and is used all over the world, few people know that its founder is the Ikea company.
All products assembled using this type have the necessary strength and are lightweight. At the same time, they are environmentally friendly, which is especially appreciated by consumers. An additional advantage of this manufacturing technology is the low price of the product.
Doors with inserts
Often small strips of glass are inserted into blank panels. This allows you to add more light to the room, making it more comfortable. Glass can be either frosted or colored. Products become significantly cheaper if the insert is made of fiberglass. Externally, it cannot be distinguished from natural glass.
Original designs
Along with ordinary wooden products, the company has products that attract attention. Mirrored doors add lightness and grace to the room. Ikea has many glass designs. Moreover, different technologies are used: from matting to tinting. There are models that use stained glass elements.
All structures are highly durable. This is facilitated by framing the glass in a rigid profile. And to avoid rattling, a silicone seal is used. Even louvered doors are made using this principle. To strengthen the joints between the elements, Ikea decided to use the same silicone. However, in more expensive products you can see rubber.
The cost of the door will depend on the material used. Ikea provides a catalog in which you can find any models. There are at least budget options made from paper boards with honeycomb filling, and at least products made from natural materials that are not inferior to elite ones.

Advantages of IKEA sliding doors
- The details are made clearly and to the standard. They are characterized by:
- Perfect cutting technology.
- Dimensional accuracy.
- High-quality coating application.
- Most IKEA compartment doors are completely dismountable, which makes delivery and entry into the premises easier.
- The design is easy to assemble yourself. Set models will be assembled by one person. Only for solid canvases you will need two.
- There is a constant opportunity to purchase new parts to replace broken ones, without buying the whole door.
- Easy to choose. There is no need to waste time searching for different materials, comparing their prices with quality and calculating the cost of the finished structure. The buyer is presented with a standard set of necessary items with already proven quality.
- The components have been tested and safety certificates are available.
Preparation
So, the disassembled wardrobe is already in the apartment. Check the package to see if all parts of the future furniture are in place. In particular, you need to check the number of connecting elements:
- There should be one screw for each hole in the frame or door.
- All double holes must have a corner.
- There must be at least four legs.
- It is necessary to check the presence of metal pins and “hats” on them (they are necessary for attaching the supporting structure).
- Also, to fasten the back wall you need nails; there can be from 15 to 30 of them. If you don’t have nails, you can buy them yourself, choosing short ones of medium thickness.
After all the components have been checked, you need to make sure that you have all the necessary tools at hand: screwdrivers, a hammer and components. Please note that if the assembly is vertical, a stepladder is required.
