A sliding wardrobe is the most popular type of furniture for the home. Such designs are ideal for storing various things, accessories, clothes and shoes, as well as other items. To save space in the room, this type of furniture is equipped with sliding systems. The functioning of such doors is ensured by sliding wardrobe guides. This article will help you understand the features and technical characteristics of such products.

How does the sliding door mechanism work in sliding wardrobes?

The sliding wardrobe has a certain sliding system, thanks to which the doors of this type open. To close them, simply move them closer together in a smooth motion. The service life, ease of use and installation methods depend on the quality characteristics of such a device.

Regular opening of the cabinet doors occurs due to the sliding system.

Sliding systems for sliding wardrobes operate in two types of mechanisms:

Support

Includes two profiles: upper and lower, fixed inside the cabinet frame. Inside there are railway tracks, disguised as eyes. It is along them that the rollers move. The lower profile is subject to the main load, the upper one serves as a support and performs a guiding function.

The support mechanism has upper and lower profiles.

The disadvantage of this system is that the bottom path is completely open, dirt and dust begin to accumulate in it, and the depth of the space inside the furniture spreads by about ten centimeters.

Suspension

Only the top profile is installed. The movement of the door also occurs thanks to rollers. The only difference from the first option is that the canvas is in a suspended state. In this case, the load is placed on the profile located on top. A fastening element is attached to the lower structure.

The suspension mechanism only has a top profile.

The advantages include a fairly smooth ride, saving space inside the furniture and the absence of a bottom guide. The disadvantage is that installation is complicated; they can withstand significantly less load; products with a support mechanism.

In budget options, the rollers may begin to wear out quickly. Because of this, the doors will not open well. Saving can lead to unnecessary financial expenses.

Various sliding wardrobes allow you not only to save living space, but are also a great way to diversify the interior of a bedroom or hallway.

Basic shapes and configurations

Sliding wardrobes with sliding doors come in the following configurations and mounting options:

• with a raised profile that adapts to the door leaf, but does not stand out visually;
• frame - they do not differ in appearance, but are installed on a more durable base;
• suspended - fixed on the supports of the upper rollers, which can be seen if you look closely at the design;
• coplanar - allow you to install doors with a minimum gap between them: when these doors open, one leaf completely overlaps the other.

With overlapping profile

Composition Suspended

Coplanar Varieties of sliding wardrobe doors allow you to choose the shape and size that will best facilitate their convenient use. The most common and classic shape of a sliding door is a flat rectangle. Its length depends on the height of the cabinet, and its width depends on the number of doors and the size of the space allocated for its location. In this case, built-in models usually reach the ceiling, while free-standing ones may be slightly lower.

Technical features

When choosing any guide, its features are taken into account. These include:

• the width must correspond to the existing doors and rollers;
• when using the bottom guide, an open rail is used, which can constantly become dirty, so you have to pay a lot of attention to cleaning it;
• if the upper guide is selected, then to prevent deformation of the floor covering below, special rollers are certainly used, the dimensions of which must correspond to the rest of the elements of the system;
• Combined systems are considered the most reliable, in which control over the movement of the webs on both sides is guaranteed;
• Additionally, the guides can be not only straight, but also radius, and the choice is based on the parameters and shape of the cabinet.

If you choose a Versailles cabinet that has built-in baskets and other high-quality storage systems, then it uses a combined convenient system.

Types of doors for wardrobes

There is only a huge range of cabinet door types available in the market. Sometimes such a choice can scare the buyer, especially if he has little knowledge of such mechanisms. Very original sliding door systems for sliding wardrobes can be created.

There are several types of closet door systems on the market.

According to the material of manufacture

If low-quality material was used in the manufacture of this product, it will not last long. It is advisable to pay attention to such types as:

Steel

Used for budget systems. Benefits include increased strength, reliability, durability and convenience. Furniture with fittings made from such material will last a long time, but only if they are followed.

The steel profile is a budget profile, but has good characteristics.

Aluminum

The price for such products is not cheap. Frames for guides and door leaves are made from it. Such doors move smoothly, do not make sounds during operation and have excellent operating parameters.

Aluminum profile is smoother and more expensive.

Important! If the case has inserts of any other material, it must be of the highest quality. Otherwise, the reliability and strength of the cabinet will be reduced and its service life will be reduced.

All parts of the cabinet must be made of quality materials.

Furniture guides as part of sliding systems

Sliding wardrobes use different types of sliding systems, so the door leaf can be opened and fixed in several ways. Types of sliding structures designed to open door leaves:

Sliding systems are hinged, with bottom guides, coplanar and combined

1. Support system with bottom guide for sliding wardrobe doors. The structure is installed directly on the floor, or the bottom shelf of furniture can be used for these purposes. The sash is held in a vertical position thanks to rollers installed in the upper profile. The main disadvantage of such systems is that the open strip can become dirty and clogged.
2. Top rail mounted system. This profile is used to hang the sash. Special rollers are installed at the bottom of the canvas, which do not damage the floor covering.
3. Combined system. It is considered the most reliable and effective. The movement of the sash is carried out using ball furniture guides.
4. Coplanar system. It has a special structure, due to which the canvases are in the same plane when closed.

Note! In most models, double systems are installed, in which not only the upper, but also the lower guide profile is used. Such designs eliminate the possibility of sash skewing and vibration during movement.

Features of hanging sliding doors without bottom guide

The hanging-type sliding system consists of upper slats with rails and a moving mechanism. This device includes a stop for fixing the sash and two carriages with rollers. One carriage usually has a pair of wheels. In some cases, their number can be increased to 4 pieces. The carriages themselves are made of metal (steel) or plastic with a high strength index. Thanks to the presence of ball bearings, the wheels move very smoothly.

Suspension systems consist of a stop for fixing doors and carriages with rollers

The dimensions of the top rail for a sliding wardrobe can be different, and they depend on the dimensions of the door leaf. This type of furniture is usually made to order, so the design parameters are individual. However, there are a number of recommendations regarding dimensions that make the operation of the cabinet comfortable.

The optimal leaf width is 0.6-0.9 m. There are narrower options, but their width should not be less than 0.5 m. Otherwise, misalignment may occur and the door leaf will jump out of the guides. The maximum allowable width is 1.1 m, but moving such a heavy sash will require significant effort, so it is better to stick to average values. The upper guide has a U-shaped configuration. It is equipped with two wide shelves that serve as latches for the carriage, which moves until it reaches the stop.

Advantages of hanging sliding systems:

1. The hanging mechanism can withstand heavy loads, which makes it possible to use this system in cabinets with massive door leaves.
2. Even with the heavy weight of the door leaves, the suspension system operates silently.
3. There is no need to install stiffening frames on each door, which simplifies not only the design of the cabinet itself, but also the process of its assembly. Such furniture looks more aesthetically pleasing and is much cheaper.

Suspension systems can support heavy weights and still operate silently

The suspension system also has disadvantages. Even with high-quality fittings, over time the door leaf begins to loosen.

Helpful advice! To prevent damage to the mechanism, you need to equip the suspension system with a special stabilizer. Thanks to this, the door leaf will remain in place.

Support system with bottom guide for sliding wardrobe doors

In support-type sliding systems, the load from the door leaves falls on the guides, which are installed in the lower part of the cabinet. The upper profile serves as a holder. It fixes the canvas in a vertical position and has the form of an M-shaped strip.

When installing roller guides in the support system, steel reinforcement frames must be installed on the sashes. The profile itself looks like a flat bar with two rails for wheels. The doors in such runners are placed in a checkerboard pattern. There are two ways to install the bottom rail: mortise and overhead. The first option looks more neat and aesthetically pleasing. But installing the profile using the overhead method is much simpler and cheaper.

Bottom guide support systems are low cost

The lower wheels are made from hard and very durable plastic. If heavy massive doors are installed in the cabinet, these rollers must be supplemented with steel bushings.

The main advantage of a support-type sliding system is its low cost, as well as the ability to adjust the position of the sashes in height. The disadvantages include a high risk of contamination. If the slides become clogged with debris and dust, moving the doors will be difficult, and high loads on the wheels will cause them to wear out prematurely.

Helpful advice! If belt brushes are installed, most of the dirt will be swept off the runners as the door opens and closes.

Features of furniture guides with combined and coplanar systems

The combined system combines the advantages of supporting and hanging mechanisms. In this case, the sashes can be fixed both from above and from below. The cost of guides for sliding cabinet doors with a combined system is very high. However, this drawback is fully compensated by excellent quality and durability, because during operation the door leaves not only move silently and smoothly, but also do not become loose over time.

Guides with a coplanar system are the most reliable and easy to use

The combined type sliding system is ideal for sliding wardrobes in which the length of the panels exceeds 1 m. This version of the mechanism can also be used in conjunction with heavy regular-sized doors made of solid wood.

In a coplanar sliding system, closed panels are arranged in a special way. This mechanism includes a combined set of guide profiles that are attached not only to the top, but also to the sash itself. To open the door leaf, you need to pull the handle towards you. As a result of this action, the sash will move forward slightly and can move to the right or left. In this case, the adjacent door will remain behind.

Advantages of the coplanar sliding system:

• silent, soft and smooth opening of door leaves;
• The cabinet doors, thanks to their even placement, look aesthetically pleasing, just like the front part of the furniture;
• The system provides savings in the internal space of the cabinet (about 10%).

Mechanism for sliding wardrobe doors

Sliding doors are useful in rooms of any size. After all, at their expense you can save space. Support type rollers are most often used. In this version, the support is on the track below. They are used in almost any prefabricated installation.

Sliding doors are suitable for any room.

Suspension mechanisms are used much less frequently. They will be optimal for built-in furniture, that is, where slats are attached to a concrete block. In this case, the upper support is used.

The hanging mechanism is most often used in a built-in wardrobe.

The monorail system consists of two pairs of rollers, each of which serves a separate trolley. This mechanism is relatively complex and is suitable for both built-in wardrobes and walk-in closets.

The monorail system is suitable for any type of cabinet.

Filling elements

Products are found in a fixed size, so it is important to take all characteristics into account when designing furniture and when choosing fittings. This way you can correctly distribute all the things in your wardrobe.

An important part of the wardrobe is its content.

Popular filling elements inside include:

1. A rod is a metal pipe installed horizontally between two walls.
2. A hanger is visually similar to a barbell and is installed across the wardrobe. The structure can be freely moved forward or be a stationary option.
3. Trouser - there are several variants of such products. The most optimal model is the use of pins. This design is attached to the back wall or to the side walls.

Some people prefer to install hook-shaped holders in the closet, where ties, belts are hung, and the shoe department is located. Furniture supports and shelf holders are also considered filling elements. Made from metal or plastic.

What types of sliding mechanisms are there for sliding wardrobes based on installation method?

According to the design of the sliding system, there are “lower” and “upper” ones. Bottom sliding mechanisms for sliding wardrobes are also called load-bearing ones. And the upper ones are divided into suspended and coplanar.

In the bottom guide system design, the rollers move along the bottom guide. In this case, in the upper part there are auxiliary rollers that move along the upper guide.

In this case, the bottom track may have one, two or three lanes of movement, depending on the number of cabinet doors and the number of planes of movement desired.

With a top sliding cabinet design, the doors are supported on tracks at the top, but the bottom track may be missing or have a hidden mount underneath the bottom of the cabinet.

Sliding wardrobes using a lower sliding mechanism are convenient, but when using such a design, we are faced with a number of disadvantages. The groove of the bottom guide is constantly clogged with dust, which shortens the service life of the gate.

Mechanisms with a suspended top structure are more convenient because they do not use a bottom rail and are therefore not susceptible to dust. They are mainly used in the manufacture of internal partitions.

Hanging sliding compartment systems will last longer. But the mechanism itself is more complex, it is designed for a large sash weight and therefore costs more.

Coplanar systems for hanging sliding doors have an interesting and even more complex mechanism. It is designed in such a way that when moving, the sash moves forward in one plane and overlaps another.

Tips for choosing

Before you go to the store, you should study the recommendations for choosing furniture guides:

1. The width of the profile must correspond to the dimensions of the facade and the diameter of the wheels.
2. When installing the part, an open rail is installed at the bottom, which regularly becomes clogged with dust and hair. To prevent the mechanism from malfunctioning, it should be cleaned in a timely manner.
3. When choosing an upper profile to protect laminate, parquet or linoleum, special wheels must be installed below; their size depends on the dimensions of the remaining parts of the door system.
4. The combined design, when the guides are mounted at the top and bottom, is the most durable, since the facades are held on both sides.
5. Based on the shape of the canvas, the guides can be linear or radial. The latter allow you to introduce more interesting design solutions, for example, creating curved facades. Such parts are made mainly of aluminum, their cost is higher.

Review of the main models of sliding wardrobes, tips on selection and placement

To make using the wardrobe comfortable and for the door opening mechanism to last for a long time, you should choose high-quality guides. It is better if they are made of aluminum alloy. In addition, when purchasing, you must check the quality certificate and clarify the warranty periods of the product.

Materials and design

The stylistic solution for the design of wardrobe compartment doors plays a decisive role, as it creates a certain atmosphere in the room and serves as a visual complement to the interior of the room. The choice of cabinet door material depends on many factors, including:

• guest preferences;
• indoor air humidity;
• room design.

In addition, the choice of raw materials often depends on the budget allocated for the purchase of furniture.

Chipboard, MDF

Chipboard (chipboard) and fine- and medium-fine fraction (MDF) building materials are widely used for cabinets. These types of raw materials are inexpensive and quite durable if properly cared for and used. Accumulated dust and dirt can be easily removed from the surface of such doors. If the interior of the room is made in a simple and restrained style, then chipboard and MDF will be an excellent choice.

Sometimes manufacturers use two-layer door options. The first is basic, the second is decorative. An example would be doors based on chipboard covered with rattan or veneer.

Choosing a door made of chipboard for a wardrobe will negatively affect the interior of the living room if it is too small. Plugs made of chipboard or MDF are installed only in spacious rooms without compromising visual perception. At the same time, the positive side of choosing such a door for a wardrobe is its strength, especially in comparison with glass samples.

Chipboard and other composite materials are not suitable for rooms with high humidity, as the integrity of the wood boards may be compromised.

Chipboard MDF

Array

The design of doors made of solid wood, that is, from a single piece of natural wood, always adds exoticism to an unusual interior and brightness to a classic style. For such doors it is necessary to provide a more powerful fastening and sliding system. The benefits of choosing solid wood doors are their strength, durability and natural appearance.

Wooden doors are chosen by residential property owners who care about the environmental friendliness of their furniture. While safe for use in everyday life, wood remains a versatile material that can adapt to any interior and delight others for many years. In addition, wood is easily processed, milled, and complements other types of finishing when creating non-standard variations in the design of laundry compartments, which include combined doors.

Glass and mirror

Sliding cabinets with glass doors are easy to clean and look great in any size room. You can also install a frosted door so that the inside of the clothes is not too visible, but it will be easier to find the right item. Currently, types of glass materials such as lakomat and lacobel are used in sliding wardrobe doors.

Advantages of sliding wardrobes with photo printing, popular images

The first is decorative glass, painted on one side. White varnish or any other door creates a cozy atmosphere in the room. Lacobel is another glass material, 4mm float glass etched on one side with sulfuric acid.

Mirrored doors serve a dual function: they can be viewed in both casual and formal wear. Such doors give the room additional mystery and depth, reflect sunlight and artificial light. Mirrored and glass doors are sometimes decorated with patterns and motifs made with special paints or sandblasting techniques.

Plastic

Plastic doors for sliding wardrobes are increasingly used in modern interiors, which is natural, because the material has many advantages over other analogues. Plastic doors are cheap, lightweight and can be made in any color. Patterns and images look natural on the plastic surface, and there is no need to contact an artist or designer since the design is done by machine.

Decorative synthetic plastic does not break or break. It looks beautiful and is easy to clean with non-abrasive cleaners. Functional plastic doors can be made in almost any configuration with a bright or matte image. In this case, the minimum door thickness used for cabinet doors is approximately 4mm.

Non-standard options

Glass doors of sliding wardrobes can be complemented with designer painting, frescoes, 3D printing (another name is photo printing) or volumetric 3D milling. It should be understood that such a solution will not always look organic in modern minimalist interiors.

Photo printing can be ultraviolet or polymer. When applying the first, a protective film is formed on the surface. The second allows you to create three-dimensional images.

No less interesting ideas for decorating wardrobe facades are:

• rattan - allows you to create unique natural patterns in combination with natural bamboo material;
• decoracrylic - reveals all the beauty of natural fillers;
• batik technology: helps to capture complex patterns.

If you want to add personality to a boring room interior, but are on a limited budget, then installing a door with foil glazing will be an excellent non-standard solution. A more expensive option is to combine the doors when the door is made of colored parts. Bevels and convex glass elements will be an excellent addition. Sophisticated connoisseurs can decorate facades or doors with frescoes.

How to choose the right accessories

When choosing high-quality furniture fittings, take into account all factors and operating conditions. People who prefer a dynamic opening style additionally purchase closers and spring hinges. For discreet use, furniture with cheaper fittings is suitable.

The following parameters influence the choice:

• dimensions of the door structure;
• total weight;
• material;
• interior filling of furniture.

In addition to these characteristics, appearance is also important. It is important that the furniture fittings fit harmoniously into the overall interior. Metal products can be processed with any decorative coating: silver, gold, brass, chrome, bronze and even cast iron. Try to select accessories in the same style.

Advantages and disadvantages

The absence of traditional attitudes causes controversy and doubt. In practice, there are both advantages and problems of choice. Study the comparative characteristics of the alternative system and decide which one is more convenient for you.

Refusal of unnecessary elements increases safety in the use of furniture and opens up the possibility of saving space.

Door overlap

The sliding doors of the cabinet are designed so that when closing, one door can extend beyond the area of ​​the other. It is considered a good option when a closed structure has one handle peeking out. But the profile of one sash must cover the surface of the profile of the other, without completely obscuring the filling material of the sash. The width should correspond to half the width of the opening plus the size of the handle profile.

There are several important conditions to consider during the process:

• Before you start designing, you should find out in advance which company the fittings will be used;
• It is worth choosing the type of handle with a C-shaped, H-shaped or double-sided design;
• number of sashes - the total number of overlaps depends on them. If there are two sashes, then there will be one overlap, if there are three, then two;
• take into account one of the important conditions that affects the measurements of the sashes - the presence of a schlegel. This part is a fleecy seal that softens the impact of the canvas on the wall surface. Typically its thickness is 1 centimeter.

Main functional purpose

Various types of sliding door guides must ensure the free closing and opening of sliding doors, regardless of whether they are interior doors or cabinet doors. The basis of any design is the rails along which the doors move horizontally using rollers.

Additional accessories include:

• roller hangers or supports;
• profile seals and plugs;
• clamps;
• small fittings;
• additional devices, the availability of which depends on the specific choice of rollers and guides.

The choice of guide profile depends on the overall dimensions of the furniture parts, the weight of the sashes, their number and other factors. It is not difficult to purchase all the necessary components and fittings for furniture today; just look at the price list of any furniture supermarket. On the modern furniture market there are budget options:

• "SLIDER-Volkhovets",
• "Framir"
• "Herkules" or "Rollan".

So are imported ones, the price of which is quite high:

• "Raumplus"
• "Francco"
• "Archie"
• "Hangroller"

Which mechanism is better to choose for wardrobe doors?

When choosing a mechanism, you must first take into account the weight and material from which the furniture is made. To make the device as stable as possible, rollers are installed both at the top and bottom. To control the width of the open door, a special lock (limiter) is used.

The door mechanism is selected taking into account all the parameters of the cabinet.

Thanks to him, the doors will not be able to move too far from each other. Parts of the path must be selected according to the material and number of doors. The length of the slats directly depends on the width of the cabinet.

The main task of a wardrobe is to arrange as many clothes as possible. It does this function very well. In addition, furniture takes up minimal space.

Measuring the opening

In order for the closet to fit into a room - a corridor or hallway - it is necessary to correctly calculate the size of the opening. To do this, first select a place to install the structure.

When measuring the opening, it is worth considering important recommendations:

• to correctly measure the opening, you need to measure the width and height of the space;
• The smallest width of the fabric of this type of construction is 50 centimeters; there are models with a size of more than a meter. The main thing is to calculate that the area has sufficient area for the entire structure;
• be sure to take measurements of the width of the space below and above, this will help you get an average;
• It is advisable to measure the height, it is usually from 2 to 2.5 meters.

Calculations

It is important to correctly calculate all elements of the wardrobe. This will ensure its correct placement and convenient use. Even a slight deviation can lead to the doors blocking or they will constantly move to one side.

Height

When calculating the height of a structure, you should not rely on measurements of the distance from the floor to the ceiling. In order for the measurement to be carried out correctly, it is worth taking into account the indicator of the total space. The maximum height of the cabinet will be the size of the same niche parameter. For example, if the height of the room from floor to ceiling is 250 cm, then on average the size of the structure should be no more than 240 cm.

In order to measure the height of the opening correctly, it is necessary to take measurements at three points - two sides and the middle. If the same parameters are obtained, then there will be no difficulties. But if they differ, then the calculation of the parameters should be based on a small indicator, which is taken from the floor to the ceiling of the opening. The height indicator is influenced by the presence of the top element of the cabinet - the lid. In this case, it is worth considering what area it will be fixed to - to the furniture cover or to the ceiling surface.

To select a blade, you need to take into account the parameters of the used components of the roller system - upper guides, runners.

So, if the standard cabinet height is 2400 mm, then when calculating the door dimensions it is worth subtracting the data from the following elements:

• cover thickness – 1.6 cm;
• it is worth subtracting a gap of 14 mm, which is required for free installation of the door in the area of ​​the upper guides;
• the thickness of the lower guide elements with a roller structure is 6 mm;
• The gap between the area of ​​the lower guides and the blade is 15 mm.

Sometimes an aluminum profile is additionally used to strengthen the canvas, then it is worth subtracting 32 mm. The result should be a value of 2316 mm.

Width

In order to correctly calculate the width, you should measure the niches at three points, just like when measuring the height. The initial width parameter will be the smallest value.
