Sliding Barn Doors…


I am not a fan of pocket doors, luckily there is a good looking and functional option…

As you can see above, they can be single or double doors, painted bright colors, or left natural and rustic. I have even seen some with windows…

Siding barn doors are an excellent, space saving option to using a pocket door.They are not only functional, but also add tons of style and interest to any space.
In the last week, I have come across two different posts about using,and actually making your own sliding barn doors. The first from Layla over at The Lettered Cottage. She shares a readers DIY solution to making and installing their own…


The other post comes from Ashli over at Mini Manor. Their handmade door, and track is impressive and stylish…


Ashli even offered the step by step directions, and measurements they used via e-mail.
As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be the perfect solution to an open doorway in our master bedroom. I have added this picture to my inspiration files on my Master Bedroom Pin Board on Pinterest…seen here.

How do you like the look of Sliding Barn Doors? Is this something you would use in your own home?

  5. Sliding doors do have its advantages over hinged doors that can be opened either inward or outward. Aside from saving up space, sliding doors usually have wide openings. It can allow easy access to the house for large items that sometimes, require disassembling in order to enter the house. It can also help to move things like couch or cabinets into the house quicker and requiring less effort than having to turn it sideways and balance it just to fit them through on a hinged door. And, the barn sliding doors do add a rustic touch to the interior.

  6. You can put it on the upper part of the door molding, for example. Passageway lock sets can be used for the doors which don't need a privacy lock, for instance, doors to stairways, closets, mud rooms, laundry rooms, or hallways.

  7. Sliding doors are the perfect way to recycle used doors. In less than $40, you can build a sliding door that looks elegant enough to have a $1000 price tag. This is also a perfect DIY project as well because it’s very simple to do.

  8. Among the many DIY projects that I have come across Pinterest, sliding barn doors are my favorite so far. They are space-savers and very practical. They can also be used as displays or as dividers, or as obvious doors. And, they are perfect inexpensive projects for our creative ideas to materialize into. Were you able to install one in your house?

  50. Раздвижные двери и окна, иначе называемые PSK-порталом, подбираются в целях сохранения незаполненного, свободного места. Нормальные виды раскрываются вовнутрь строения, что занимает достаточно большую область места в помещении. Современные окна позволяют избегнуть данной неприятности, усилить воздушный и световой поток в квартире.
    Наклонно-сдвижной портал – это системы, что славятся довольно большой площадью стеклопакета. Для обеспечения способности открывания створок имеются нижние и верхние направляющие, при помощи которых створка легко и бесшумно скользит.
    Раздвигание происходит с помощью ходовых роликов, которые имеют в своем составе опору в качестве компонентов армирования, позволяющим как можно более равномерно распределять вес по по всему окну. Они дают возможность створке передвигаться во всевозможных режимах (наклона, сдвига).
    Высота достигает 2360 мм, а ширина створки двери или окна будет изменяться от 670 мм до 160 см. С учетом общего веса (может составлять от 100 кг до 200 кг), на портальную систему ставится определенная фурнитура ради обеспечения исправного открывания - закрывания створок, увеличения срока использования. Ширина свободного проема может достигать 2 метров.
    Портальные окна и двери славятся замечательными герметичными качествами, повышенными показателями звуко-, теплоизоляции, имеют высокий уровень противовзломности, идеально подходят для всех вариантов нынешних профилей. При сборке применяют опоясывающие щеточные уплотнители, кои ощутимо улучшают работу створок.
    В случае, когда вы хотите оформить городскую квартиру, лоджию, балкон или большой загородный дом согласно модным тенденциям в оформлении, то фирма СВ Окна изготовит и смонтирует параллельно-раздвижные окна и двери.
