There is a lot of oil smoke in Chinese kitchens, so it is necessary to pay attention to the design when decorating to effectively isolate oil smoke. The common decoration method is the sliding door, but many people feel that the sliding door is inconvenient, and the sealing and sound insulation effect is poor. Take a look at other renovation examples to see how their kitchen doors work better.
Why don't you make sliding doors in the kitchen?
1. Occupy space and waste space
Sliding doors are usually designed with two or four sides, and the door in the middle is often fixed. Spending money but not being able to use it inevitably makes people feel wasted.
The installation of sliding doors depends on the support of the wall and the thickness of the wall is required, which limits the flexibility of the space to a certain extent.
2. Poor sealing
Have you noticed that even when the sliding door is closed, the oil smoke still seeps out. This is because the door leaf cannot be completely sealed, and the gap allows the oil smoke generated by stir-frying to drift into the living room or bedroom, affecting the home environment.
Moreover, the soundproofing is not good, and people watching TV in the living room, chatting in the dining room, and cooking in the kitchen affect each other.
3. The track is prone to problems
Kitchen sliding doors open and close frequently, and rail friction leads to damage, which can lead to derailment, loosening, or even stuck. The copper strip of the ground rail is often stepped on, and the paint will fall off within half a year.
4. It is difficult to clean up the ash and oil stains
The ground rails and pulleys of the sliding door are prone to dust and debris, and long-term use will affect the opening and closing of the door. Although it can be cleaned up manually, it invisibly increases the burden of household chores.
Kitchen fumes and water vapor tend to adhere to the door, and if they are not cleaned for a long time, dust and oil can accumulate. Keeping things clean and running smoothly takes time and effort, or hiring a professional cleaner during a home cleaning may not always be the best result.

Make pocket doors
The kitchen area is relatively small, what should I do if I am afraid of oil smoke when it is open? Pocket doors couldn't be more suitable.
Pocket doors are sliding doors that are concealed within the wall and can be fully enclosed or fully opened, making them suitable for those who are looking for efficient use of space.
The invisible pocket door between the kitchen is divided, which does not take up space when opened, and instantly expands the field of vision to 50 square meters. In addition, the door is hidden in the wall, which avoids the safety hazard of children colliding.

Do folding doors
Folding doors save space in the kitchen, especially for small families. Unlike sliding doors and pocket doors, which require space on both sides, folding doors do not limit the available space, and a single door can also be designed as a PD door, which is highly practical.
It is not only practical and decorative, but also has a high overall appearance, no need for floor rails or copper strips, and is easy to clean. When you usually cook less, the folding door can be retracted to reduce cleaning and be more worry-free than a sliding door.

Folding windows + folding doors
The recommended practice is to remove half of the wall of the dining and living room, set up a bar, and design storage under the counter, and the countertop can be used as a simple dining table. Folding windows and doors do not take up space when opened, and can be pulled back when cooking to prevent the spread of oil smoke.
