How to make sliding partition

Before being engaged in production of sliding partition, it is necessary to understand designs and types of partitions well. Any partition is cloth which is located between floor and ceiling. It is made of strong material. Usually partitions do of tree or metal. It has to be well adjusted by the sizes. Quite often people insert glass into partitions.

Instruction

1. The partition can consist of glass completely. For this purpose it is necessary to buy strong, light and thin glass. The design of profile can be different. In partition there can be several sections or partitionings. It is possible to insert several glass elements into cloth of design, and it is possible to make it entirely of glass. Thus, it is possible to diversify design. Surely consider that than more partitionings, that the partition will have bigger weight if it is made of tree. For this reason it is not recommended to fill all sections with glass completely. Glass partitions are most often used in kitchen or table zone.

2. Sliding partitions happens two types: double-track and monorail. It is the best of all to use monorail partitions in the house. When mounting it is not necessary to spoil floor to mount additional to rail. However such partition has also shortcoming. It cannot provide full sound insulation as between partition and floor the slot is formed after installation. However, it is not obligatory to have in apartments the rooms isolated from the main room at all. It is heavier to establish double-track partition. It can isolate the room from noise completely. It is established most often in zones which differ in the increased noise: kitchen, hall, living room, table, children's game.

3. Bars of 20х60 millimeters in size best of all are suitable for sliding partition. Length needs to be chosen on floor-to-ceiling height, at the same time it is necessary to take away 110 millimeters. To bars two couples of plywood strips which width is 165 — 170 millimeters fix. Their length equals to bar length. Strips need to be connected to bars and among themselves furniture loops. That the partition looked good, it is possible to cover front surface with furniture varnish. In link there are "metal scissors" which provide the movement of partition across. Scissors are made of metal strips of 200х20 millimeters in size. They are crossed with each other. Strips of scissors from above fasten to metal corners, from below the ends have to move freely.

4. To provide the movement of partition it is necessary to use rollers. They will move on metal guide. This operation quite difficult. Such "carts" consist of two rollers which diameter no more than 40 millimeters and metal hook of 5 millimeters in size. They act as the moving support for all partition. The hook needs to be fixed freely on the cart. Metal guide it is necessary to fix to ceiling dowels with self-tapping screws. The side face can be trimmed under tree.
