Is The Sliding Door On The Track Better Or Off The Track?

As we all know, sliding doors are a common type of door. It comes in many types. According to the different tracks, it can be divided into upper track and lower track. We can choose according to our own preferences and decoration needs.

First of all, the ground rail sliding door is more stable than the hanging rail sliding door. Since the hanging rail sliding door has no track on the ground, each door leaf is fixed on the ground by a locator.

The sliding door track is above the door head, and the door leaf is moved left and right through pulleys. The main load-bearing is the upper track, and the columns on both sides share the force at the same time, which mainly requires high track quality and pulleys and other hardware accessories.

Then, in terms of appearance, the upper rail is definitely much cleaner and more beautiful than the lower rail that is directly convex. The ground is very flat, which ensures the integrity of the space and looks much higher.

And there is no threshold below, so you won't kick the threshold when walking. Also, the sliding doors on the upper track are easier to clean than the sliding doors on the lower track. It's like a curtain and basically doesn't have much dust buildup. Some of the disadvantages of sliding doors on track are relatively high installation requirements and certain requirements for load-bearing walls. If the installation is not reasonable, it may affect the service life of the door.

Finally, the main advantage of the external track is to separate the space, limit and separate the space to a certain extent, increase the privacy of the space, and play a certain sound insulation effect. The disadvantage of lower track sliding doors is that the slide rails are easily damaged. Sliding doors have high requirements on the quality of sliding guides and some hardware. The sliding of the sliding door is very easy to cause damage. The service life of the overall sliding door is not long, and maintenance and replacement are more troublesome.
