The Advantages of Sliding Doors

Sliding doors can be a great option for all parts of the home. Whether it’s sliding bi-fold doors into the garden, or sliding doors on your fitted wardrobes, there are lots of advantages to choosing sliding doors over hinged doors.

They take up less space

Probably the biggest benefit of having sliding doors is that they take up less space than hinged doors. This is particularly useful in smaller rooms where space is at a premium. Hinged doors need space to open which means you can’t use that space for anything else. Sliding doors just need a small amount of space to slide from side to side, so they’re much better for small rooms. Built in wardrobes with sliding doors are a great way to maximise the space you have and give you more storage space than a standalone wardrobe.

They add a touch of style

Not only are sliding doors practical, but they look great too. You can choose from a whole range of styles and colours depending on the space you have and the overall look you want to achieve.

Internal sliding doors look amazing, particularly in cottage-style homes where they create space in the notoriously small rooms and also add an extra touch of character to the property too.

For external sliding doors, you can choose from a range of finishes.

Sliding patio doors allow for easy ventilation

Another benefit to sliding doors is that they can be opened slightly to let some air into the room, without having to open the door fully. This makes them a great option for kitchens where you need to make sure you ventilate the room regularly, particularly after cooking.

Sliding patio doors let in more natural light

Sliding doors that lead outside are great for bringing more natural light into the home as they are made almost completely from glass. Sliding patio doors often replace brick walls or small windows, so replacing these with full-length sliding doors is a great way to brighten up your home.

Kitchen sliding doors

Sliding doors are a great option for all areas of the house, particularly if you want to free up more space. Urban Wardrobes have some great options for sliding doors for fitted bedrooms which look amazing and free up so much space in the bedroom too (official web page – https://urbanwardrobes.co.uk/services/fitted-bedrooms).
