Why I Chose Sliding Doors with Folding Windows for My Kitchen and Folding Doors for My Living Room

Before I prepared to renovate my house, I hadn’t realized the importance of doors and windows. However, when selecting them, I visited the factory of KANOD Door and Window Manufacturer and experienced their intelligent exhibition hall, deeply feeling the application of different door and window products in various home spaces. I then understood that specially designed doors and windows could significantly enhance the functionality and aesthetics of living spaces. Based on the suggestions from KANOD’s staff and my personal preferences, I chose sliding doors with folding windows for my kitchen and folding doors for my living room.

Why Install Sliding Doors in the Kitchen

I’m a great lover of cooking, finding it a very healing activity. However, the kitchen in my house is not very spacious. Therefore, I wanted the door installed in the kitchen to not occupy the limited space. When cooking many Chinese dishes, high heat is required, which generates quite a bit of oil smoke. Without a kitchen door for partition, the oil smoke might contaminate other areas of my home. So, I chose sliding doors. Sliding doors do not occupy extra space when opening or closing, making them ideal for my small kitchen. Additionally, I’m somewhat lazy and don’t like doors that require turning a handle to open. This sliding door operates very smoothly without any sticking. When renovating my house, I opted for a minimalist style. So, when selecting products, I would also choose doors and windows with simpler designs. The sliding door was the one I was looking for, without complicated designs and featuring a clean appearance.

Why Install Folding Windows in the Kitchen

Next, let’s talk about the folding windows. I personally love the design of bars, but my kitchen doesn’t allow me to spare extra space for one. After visiting many kitchen design cases, I chose folding windows. With their help, I gained a simple bar area. During leisure time, I can make myself a cup of coffee and enjoy wonderful moments here. There’s another reason I chose to install folding windows in the kitchen. While cooking, I hope to interact with people rather than being alone in the kitchen, which makes me feel lonely. After installing the folding windows, my family members would lean against the window to converse with me. I could place cooked dishes by the window. Over time, I noticed a significant improvement in my relationship with my family. The folding windows also offer me great flexibility. I can adjust them according to my needs or the amount of oil smoke produced while cooking. When I’m not using the kitchen, I fully open the sliding door and folding windows to let in more natural light, making my effective space appear broader and brighter.

Why Choose Folding Doors for the Living Room

Folding doors typically consist of two or more single doors. They have the ability to integrate the living room and balcony into one space. When the folding doors are fully opened, only the thickness of the stacked doors exists between the living room and balcony, which is negligible. The living room and balcony can still be connected. When I don’t want my activities in the living room to be seen by people outside the balcony, I fully close the folding doors. This effectively protects my desired privacy without making my living room space feel cramped. Folding doors are highly maneuverable. I can freely choose the range of opening and closing of the folding doors based on my actual usage needs. Besides small spaces, folding doors can also be used as space partitions for larger areas. When opened, they can be pushed all the way to the side without any visual obstruction, maximizing space savings and allowing more light to enter the room, improving the house’s lighting and ventilation. They ensure openness when open and a certain degree of independence when closed, making them very ingenious and practical.
