In recent years, the hanging rail sliding door has become more and more popular, and it does not fit the ground and will not leave a sanitary corner. The personalized wall cabinet design has attracted the attention of most young people, but in terms of practical life, is it reliable to install the hanging rails on the sliding doors of the kitchen at home? Only by comparison, don't make the wrong choice.


Hanging rail sliding door:


The hanging rail mainly uses the hanging wheels to support the sliding door. Its biggest advantage is that it does not have to clean the ground gaps as hard as my home! Therefore, it is very convenient to clean, and it is indeed a big boon for housewives~ There is no noise when sliding, and it is also very light in terms of visual effects.

After the hanging rail is installed, there is a big gap between it and the wall. If it is used to block oil smoke, the effect is not particularly good.


Moreover, the installation of the hanging rail needs to bear the weight of the entire door. If the wall is not stable enough, problems such as falling and shaking will occur over time, which poses certain safety risks. Secondly, the requirements for installation of the hanging rail are also very high. Once the height is uneven, the hanging rail will slide to the lower side.


Ground rail sliding door:

The installation method of the ground rail is not as difficult as the hanging rail, and the safety factor is higher. If there is a problem in the future use, it will be very convenient to repair. The ground rail can be close to the ground, which can play a good role in sound insulation, heat insulation and oil fume isolation. From this point of view, the ground rail is more suitable for kitchen use.


However, a disadvantage of the ground rail is that it is easy to hide garbage in the rail. But now the ground rails on the market have also been well improved and they are much cleaner.
