The design of modern interiors is strikingly different from the design of typical Soviet apartments. It uses non-standard materials, transformable furniture and even new types of layouts. In the latter case, an important role is played by sliding partitions. They allow you to functionally use the space, dividing it into different zones. However, a person does not become attached to bulky walls or furniture. The partition looks almost weightless, but it creates a sense of isolation in each of the zones.
Classification of partitions by material
The partition should be very strong to withstand various loads, but at the same time as light as possible, so that it can be comfortably moved away. However, it must also meet the fire / sanitary requirements and stylishly fit into the interior of your stylish apartment. For the manufacture of mobile screens can use different materials, namely:
- Glass . For the production of special tempered glass is used, which has unique strength indicators. Its thickness can reach 13 mm, and the texture can be transparent, matte or include unusual patterns. The shape is also different: rectangular, curved and even curved. The main advantage of sliding glass interior partitions is durability, light transmission, fire resistance and unusual appearance. If you decide to acquire such a partition, then note that the size of the glass to be ordered must be calculated to within a centimeter, since it is impossible to change it at the time of installation.
- Metal . If a large load is applied to the screen, then its frame must be made of iron. In this case aluminum is ideal, as it has the necessary strength and does not heavier the design. Aluminum sliding partitions are most often installed in private cottages at the exit to the courtyard. They allow you to enjoy the beautiful view, but at the same time do not miss the cold and drafts.
- The tree . On your choice will be presented solid wooden sliding partitions (double or single), skeleton-lining and double with an air gap. The tree looks noble and aristocratic, so the screen from it fits in both modern and classic interior. In addition, this design has excellent strength (can withstand weight up to 160 kg) and good noise insulation.
- Plastic . From light plastic, mobile sliding partitions are manufactured in the type of "accordion". They can be painted in any colors, starting with acid pink, ending with classic beige shades. The advantages of the "accordion" are its portability. The partition "presses" against the wall, opening a wide passage between the rooms. For its installation, no additional panels are required, no need to make a gap between the walls.
Zoning with sliding partitions
Movable screens can be used for zoning space in many rooms. You can separate the wall from the sleeping area from the working area, or separate the dining area in the hall. In the studio apartments, these designs serve as a "mini barrier" between the kitchen and the hall. Thus, when the door is opened the apartment turns into one large multi-functional room, and when it is closed - then there are two separate spaces (kitchen and living room). The closed partition prevents smells from penetrating the kitchen and allows the hostess to concentrate on eating without distracting guests. Very convenient and practical!
