Doors: wing, sliding, folding and rotating

Wing door is the most popular kind of doors. It can be single-swing or double-swing. Wing door can be both interior or exterior. Wing door is made either dead or glazed. It can be of different design: from the simplest to unusual and individual. It has one sufficient shortcoming – wing wood requires much space for opening.

Sliding door is a construction consisting of door leaf, door frame, complete set of guide accessories and cassette. Such door can consist of one, two or more leaves.

The main advantage of sliding door is economy of space.

But sliding door also let light, smells and sounds through much better. It happens because there are gaps between the door leaf and frame. Besides, to install sliding door you will have to dismantle part of the wall and to put a gypsum plasterboard to mount cassette and sliding mechanism into it.

Folding door is the door consisting of separate sections which move by guide rail set in the door aperture. It can be made of wood, plastic and other materials. Folding doors are used only as interior doors.

Rotating door (revolving, rotary) are often used in public buildings. Rotating door usually has two, three or four leaves, with manual or automatic opening.
