Sliding doors can close almost any niche - be it a dressing room, built-in or free-standing wardrobe. To do this, you need to carefully measure the height and width of the opening, calculate the sliding doors to purchase all the necessary components. You will also need another one to assemble the cabinet body, install shelves and drawers.

Choosing a sliding wardrobe system for a wardrobe

There are many types of sliding coupe systems. Depending on the type of rollers, guides and the method of their installation (mounted, suspended, hidden, etc.). And external design (framed, frameless, with a side profile and without a profile). It is clear that in each case the calculation of the size of compartment doors will be completely different. As are the requirements for niche design.

In this article we will consider standard roller sliding doors of a support type, in which the rollers move along the lower rail, and the upper rollers support the door leaf in a vertical position.

Conventionally, we can distinguish two groups of sliding systems for wardrobes and dressing rooms of this type:

• Frameless type “srd-1” SKM, etc. Some are equipped with side profile handles. The door leaf is a solid sheet of chipboard, MDF, solid wood with a thickness of 16-26 mm. Rollers with an installation platform are overhead or mortise.
• Frame (frame) type Raumplus (“Aristo”, “Versailles”, etc.). The frame design allows for the implementation of stacked door filling options. The assembly profile is designed for an insert 4-10 mm thick, so thicker chipboards and MDF will have to be milled. The rollers are installed in the profile, the lower ones partially “overlap” the insert. Therefore, it is better not to make transparent filling along the bottom edge - the installation areas of the lower rollers will be visible through it.

Pros and cons of frameless coupe doors

The main advantage of frameless sliding systems is their affordable price. This is obvious, because the kit only includes a set of rollers, an upper and lower guide. The thickness of the doors can vary from 16 to 28 mm, and the weight can reach 80 kg. Ease of installation and adjustment can also be considered a plus.

There are also disadvantages to this type of compartment door.

Due to their weight and lack of frame, doors can sag over time, so it is recommended to use a side profile. As practice shows, it is better not to make the door height more than 2-2.2 m for the same reason. If you plan to make the cabinet higher, it is better to allocate a separate mezzanine.

Due to the heavy weight and lack of rigidity provided by the profile, the door movement will not be easy and smooth. Frameless sliding doors require periodic adjustments. And knowledge of how this can be done, having the simplest set tools.

Advantages of coupe frame systems

Visually, frame compartment doors look more attractive and holistic. Expands the design possibilities of the sashes and the presence of dividers-adapters inside the leaf. They can be positioned strictly horizontally, diagonally, and even bent with a radius.

Frame compartment doors can be made of steel and aluminum. Steel profiles are more affordable, but noisier.

Aluminum systems are considered elite and provide smoother and quieter operation. And they have practically no restrictions in size: the doors can be made up to 4 meters in height and 1.5 meters in width.

Initial data

It is assumed that the side walls of the cabinet are perpendicular to the bottom and roof. Also, the cabinet should be leveled horizontally. Debris can cause doors to roll to one side.

You should also be careful in determining the number of sashes. They should not block shelves, niches, or interfere with the lowering of pantographs, opening of drawers and other retractable systems.

Width and overlap of compartment doors

Also, do not make the coupe too wide: they will be inconvenient to use. Maximum 1000-1100 in width, but it is better to stay at average values, 700-900 mm.

It is considered “good form” not to allow the internal frame to overlap with the side profile when calculating the width of the sashes. That is, the overlap of sliding doors should be exactly the width of the profile.

In this case, the thickness of the “boot” (schlegel) is usually not taken into account, leaving you with the choice of whether to glue it or not after the final installation of the facade of the compartment.

If we take the width of the open (asymmetrical profile, C) as 25 mm, and the closed (symmetrical, H) as 35 mm, then the formulas for calculating the width of 2, 3, 4 and 5 doors are conveniently presented in tabular form.

According to the formulas for calculating frame doors with an Aristo profile, it can be seen that the presence of a boot reduces the depth of the overlap.

For frameless sliding systems there is no exact formula for calculation. Usually about 20-30 mm are left for the overlap of doors, rounding the width of the leaf to a whole value.

Door height

All calculations are based on diagrams and data from manufacturers of a specific sliding system.

Since almost all popular roller sliding systems require adjustment of the upper and lower rollers, some averaging and rounding is possible.

If you subtract less (for example, 30 mm), then it will be very difficult to insert the doors into the guides and adjust the smoothness of the move. If you subtract more, the sashes may simply fall out, since the height of the roller adjustment will not be enough to ensure sliding stability.

Thus, the calculation for frameless sliding systems (SKM, srd-1) ends here. For coupes such as Aristo, Raum+, Commander and others, it is necessary to calculate the components: the length of the upper, lower and side profiles, the dimensions of the internal insert.

Dimensions of internal filling of compartment doors

The aluminum and steel profile is designed for a thin insert with a thickness of 8-10 mm.

Glass and mirror 4-5 mm thick are framed with a seal. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the seal when calculating (about 1.5-2 mm on each side).

Laminated chipboard, MDF with a thickness of 16-18 mm can also be used as an insert. But it needs to be milled around the perimeter with inside up to a thickness of 8-10 mm.

The principle of calculating the insert is extremely simple: the thickness of the frame is measured (it is a profile or profile + seal) and subtracted from the dimensions of the door calculated above with dimensions Hdoor and Ldoor.

The internal insert of the sliding sash can be stacked. In this case, the thickness of the divider is taken into account.

For the Aristo aluminum system, the following formulas can be distinguished for calculating the width (Lв) and height (Hв) of the insert:

• Milled chipboard insert 10 mm thick:— 57 mm from the door height. The width of the insert for the C profile is 36 mm less than the door width, for the H profile – by 54 mm.
• Standard insert 8 mm thick:— 59 mm from the door height.
• Glass/mirror 4 mm thick:-60 mm from the door height.

Formulas for calculating insertion in tabular form.

How to calculate the dimensions of a prefabricated insert

In most cases, the design of compartment doors involves a prefabricated insert, with horizontal and vertical dividers. Both diverse materials (chipboard + glass, acrylic + mirror) and single-layer materials (MDF + MDF) can be combined.

The calculation of internal filling is absolutely similar. The thickness of the aluminum divider (usually 2 mm) and the seal for glass and mirror inserts are simply taken into account.

Calculation of the length of profiles and guides for cutting

To assemble a frame compartment door, you need to calculate and cut all the components.

1. The length of the lower and upper guide (track) is equal to the size of the niche width (Lpr). If shaped stops are used, then you need to subtract their thickness from the lengths of the guides, about 2 mm on each side.
2. The length of the side profile for the compartment door is equal to the calculated door height (Hdv).
3. The length of all horizontal lines (top, bottom and divider) is the same. To calculate it you need to measure the width of the profile and subtract it from the width of the door twice.

The formulas for calculating all profile lengths for an Aristo frame sliding door in tabular form will be as follows:

For all other coupe frame systems of the support type (Versailles, Senator, etc.), calculations will be made according to the same principle. The main thing is to accurately measure all the components and adjust the formulas based on this data.

The cabinet body itself can be made with your own hands.

How to calculate wardrobe doors without incomprehensible online diagrams and calculators?

The calculation of compartment doors for different systems may vary, so we will focus on the general approach for calculating compartment doors in order to understand the principle of their calculation.

Let's consider calculation of compartment doors using the example of the Raumplus aluminum system, the ancestor of all other systems, which, if they differ, are only slightly different. Analogues of Raumplus include the Polish Senator, Chinese Aristo, and Russian Versailles.

The first thing to start with when calculating compartment doors is to determine the size of the opening in which the compartment doors are supposed to be installed. When measuring, check the dimensions at several points.

We have received the size of the opening, we proceed to calculating the length of the upper and lower guides for the compartment doors and the dimensions of the compartment doors themselves.

Calculation of the height of compartment doors

If you look at the cross-section of the profile of the top rail for sliding wardrobe doors, then the height of the internal space of the top rail where the sliding doors will go is 45 mm; reducing the height of the doors relative to the opening by 40 mm allows you to bypass height differences of 10 mm or more. The upper guide will not allow the compartment door rollers to jump out.

Calculation of the width of compartment doors

When calculating the width of a compartment door, the width of the compartment door should be such that the doors overlap by the width of the handle.

Sometimes this scheme also takes into account the width of the bumper brush, but usually this is neglected. If you still decide to take this point into account when calculating the compartment door, then subtract two thicknesses of the fender brush from the width of the opening.

That is, if the brushes are 5 mm thick, then subtract 10 mm from the width of the opening and use the already obtained value as the width of the opening to calculate the compartment door.

Hello dear friend! In just 3 minutes you will learn how to calculate the compartment doors of the most popular systems yourself, without any formulas or programs. This will help you decorate your home and earn good money. I'll tell you a secret just for you.

Width and height of compartment door

The smallest width of a compartment door is 500 mm. The system allows you to make the doors narrower, but they will not function well. When opening, the door will tilt towards the force and the profile will touch the lower running track. In the worst case scenario, the door will fall off the slides.

The widest door was assembled and installed with a size of 1100 mm. The system allows you to assemble doors wider, but as practice shows, doors larger than 1000 mm are inconvenient to use. There are no special restrictions on the width of the compartment door.

Manufacturers produce a handle profile with a length of 5500 mm. Usually they are cut in half already in the store. Therefore, you can always make doors of the required height. The only thing that should be taken into account when the door is high is the rigidity of the handle.

Door overlap

With correct calculation, in a two-door opening, we will see at the junction of the doors only one profile - the handle of the front door. Moreover, this handle profile should only overlap the rear door handle profile, but should not overlap the door filling. In the photo above.

The number of doors depends on the length of the opening and. Doors should not block access to the filling. In a three-door cabinet, the sum of the width of the two rear doors should not exceed the distance from the beginning of the cabinet to the next section.

Be sure to make sure the floor is at a good level. Otherwise, the compartment doors will randomly roll down to the low side. Read how to fix this. Measure the opening - the niche for the compartment doors. You measure the height and width of the opening, for example: 2500*1600

Within walking distance from you, located according to the calculation of cabinet furniture.

Calculation of wardrobe door sizes by width

Door overlap is required in the opening. Doors must be larger than the middle of the opening by one handle profile. You measure the profile in width and add the resulting size to the width of the opening. Divide the resulting amount by 2. As a result, we have the size of the door in width.

The more doors in the opening, the more overlaps. Those. the profile of the handle of one door should overlap the profile of the handle of the next door, etc. in a checkerboard pattern. Then we add the sum of the number of overlaps to the width of the opening and divide by the number of doors.

For example, a two-door opening:

1. Handle profile width 26 mm
2. Opening width 1600 mm
3. 1600+26=1626/2= 813 mm
4. The width of one door is 813 mm

Let's look at an example with 3 doors:

1. Opening width 1800 mm
2. Handle profile width 26 mm
3. If we have 3 doors, then there will be 2 overlaps, respectively 26+26=52 mm
4. 1800+52=1852 / 3 = 617 mm
5. The width of one door is 617 mm

Calculation of the dimensions of sliding wardrobe doors by height

Calculating the height is much easier. We subtract 40 mm from the height of the opening. The instructions for calculation say that 45 mm should be subtracted, but practice has shown that 40 mm is enough. This is the distance required to insert the door into the W-shaped top track.

For example:
Opening height 2500 mm
2500 – 40 =2460 mm
Door height 2460 mm

There have been cases in my practice when I had to install a door into an opening with a 30 mm gap. It's possible, but I don't recommend it. The doors are difficult to move and the installation process itself will take a lot of effort and time. Such situations during installation occur when it is done incorrectly.

So the next step is to calculate the filling. This step is simple and understandable even to a schoolchild. The filling is located in a frame made of aluminum profiles. And to calculate it, you should subtract the width of the profiles framing it on all sides from the overall dimensions of the door.

You measure the width of the handle to the nearest millimeter, as shown in the photo. Because handles two, multiply the resulting size by 2. 18*2=36 mm. Now from the total width of the door we subtract the width of the handles 813-36 = 777 mm to obtain the width of the filling.

You measure the distance on the upper and lower horizons, separating it from the total height of the door. For example, on the top it is 12 mm, on the bottom 47 mm. The total door height is 2460 mm. You add the lower and upper horizon = 59 mm. 2460-59= 2401 mm door filling height.

Opening 2500*1600
Door size 2460*813 – 2
Filling size 2401*777 – 2

If the filling is mirror or glass, do not forget to subtract the thickness of the silicone seal from the filling dimensions. Its thickness is 1 mm. The assembler places the seal on the glass from all sides, so we subtract 2 mm from the height and width of the glass filling.

Calculation of profiles for compartment doors

Now let's calculate the frame. In the photo we see that the height of the handle profile is equal to the height of the door and therefore the handle profile = 2460 mm. To calculate the length of the upper and lower horizons, we measure the width of the handle profile to the groove.

For example, the width is 25 mm. multiply by two, because we have two handles and subtract the amount from the total width of the door. 813 – 50 = 763 mm length of the upper and lower horizons. If the door is stacked, then it is necessary to calculate the dividers. The length of which is equal to the length of the horizons.

Conclusion

I set the task to show you the principle of calculations. And if you understand it, then the algorithm of actions will easily settle down in your memory. These dimensions are made using the Aristo asymmetric profile system. And your forecast for today: Smile and everything will work out for you!

Sliding wardrobes have long become an integral part modern apartments because of its functionality and convenience. Due to the fact that no additional space is required to open the doors, the cabinets are convenient to use even in the narrowest corridor. This provoked a wave of emergence of companies that install such sashes, but due to the specificity of the work, their prices greatly exceed the cost of materials. Therefore, before ordering a service, you should try to create the doors yourself. We will tell you how to calculate the size of compartment doors in this article.

Preparation for calculations

Before you start using calculation formulas, you need to get the exact opening values. To do this, you will need a tape measure of the required length, as well as a stepladder or scaffolding. It is best to take measurements together, otherwise difficulties arise in determining the values ​​when the measurement is carried out by weight. For one person you will need a laser rangefinder.

Often there are irregularities in the openings that are invisible to the eye, so three measurements are taken for each value.

Sequence of doorway measurement

1. At floor level;
2. Ceiling opening;
3. Opening in the center.

1. Height next to the left wall;
2. Near the right wall;
3. In the middle.

After receiving all the values, select the smallest dimensions from them. They will be taken as the basis of the opening when installing vertical and horizontal rack systems.

Number of doors

Once all the initial values ​​are known, you need to determine the number of sliding doors. There is a standard scale for one door, considered the most convenient and used by manufacturers of popular systems (senator, starke, etc.) - 45-55 cm. Narrow ones will be inconvenient to use, and wider ones will require additional guides. It must be remembered that the larger the compartment door, the heavier the door leaf, which makes it difficult to move.
