Interior doors for high openings. High doors to the ceiling: the nuances of the device and design options. For decoration you will need

A well-known problem is small apartments. A good solution - compartment doors - is not always suitable: sometimes there is so little space that all the walls are lined with furniture and there is nowhere to move the canvas. But if the partition is not load-bearing and can be partially dismantled, then there is still an option: sliding doors that slide into the wall.

Structurally, the built-in interior doors do not differ from the coupe, they are based on the same components: a canvas (one or two), guide rails, carriages with rollers and fittings. If desired, an electric drive. The only difference is that when you open the canvas is hidden from the eyes. In the converted section of the wall there is a cassette into which a door slides on rollers.

The canvas itself can be anything: wood, glass, plastic. You can choose an option that will be in perfect harmony with the rest of the doors and the interior as a whole. The roller mechanism also does not differ from the standard one.

The difference is in fittings: locks and handles should not interfere with the displacement of the canvas into the wall. With handles and locks you need to decide in advance. If the sliding door into the wall will go completely, a lock with a button will be required to close.

The second difference is that sliding doors that slide into the wall require a greater energy intensity of installation than a compartment. It is necessary to dismantle part of the wall, fix the cassette, sheathe the structure with plasterboard and complete the repair with a finishing touch. There will be a lot of construction debris, you need to prepare for this in advance.

It is better to buy built-in doors in the wall immediately complete with a cassette. Buying a cassette later and installing it separately will turn out to be too expensive and energy-intensive. The pencil case door kit already has everything you need - a canvas, mechanism, fittings and a cassette.

Attention: for partitions made of brick and drywall, pencil cases are different. This must be specified at the time of purchase.

Installation sequence

1. Check the verticality of the walls and carefully calculate the opening (two widths of the canvas).

2. Dismantle the required area, if possible without unnecessary damage.

3. Process the opening, repair cracks.

4. Install the pencil case and secure with the help of mortgages. The upper mortgages will serve as a reliable fixation of the canvas, preventing displacement of the structure.

5. Sew up the cassette with drywall: the upper edge is placed along the enclosing box.

6. Install built-in doors and fittings.

7. Finish the wall.

8. Install platbands.

Sliding doors that slide into the wall are a good option to save space occupied by a regular door, but they take away 10 centimeters of the thickness of the room due to the cassette. Therefore, the ideal option for their installation is to mount built-in doors instead of self-supporting walls.

In most cases, speaking of door leaves reaching the ceiling, they recall their ability to visually “raise” the upper plane, to make the room higher. Really, - it is a noticeable and effective vertical, which is able to orient the layout of the interior.

However, the possibilities of non-standard canvases are not limited to this, and if conventional sliding doors are simply convenient and do not take up much space, then higher similar designs allow you to instantly transform the space by combining or isolating rooms at will.

Often, as an argument against buying ready-made or purchasing high doors to order, they mention the impossibility of increasing the size of all openings in the room. If there are several openings in the hall, corridor or passage room, one of which must maintain its dimensions, different door heights will not look good. Indeed, not every opening can be changed, but in this case, high interior doors with a transom can be an excellent solution.

A transom is called a “superstructure” above the canvas, which, like the rest of the structure, can be made of almost any material, be deaf or glazed, have a rectangular or arched shape.

If you want to install high structures in a “difficult” room, doors with transoms are mounted in the modified doorways, and the opening, which has become a “stumbling block”, is equipped with an identical standard size design, after which an overlay imitating a transom is installed above it.

However, transom doors can be chosen without the need to solve complex problems. They are spectacular and perfect if there is a desire to install structures up to the ceiling, but there is no desire to open bulky canvases. Such high doors in the interior can be not only classic or retro, designs with an additional top element are also available in modern design.

The transom must be identical to the door leaf and frame, they are:

made from the same material

have the same finish

match in style.

The only difference may be the presence or absence of glazing. So, deaf doors can be crowned with an arched element with glass inserts. If glazing is also present in the leaf, the type and color of the glass must be the same.

Doors to the ceiling are most often made to order, after accurate measurements. This allows you to create a canvas and a box that matches the height of the room as much as possible. In addition to ordinary apartments or apartments of improved layout with high ceilings, non-standard doors can be installed in cottages or houses created according to special projects, at any height of a room or hall.

Since the times of the Soviet past, many have remained convinced that it is almost impossible to make fundamental changes to the situation in a typical apartment of an old panel house. Today, such doom no longer threatens to create a comfortable and stylish interior!
The standard choice of interior doors is complemented by original door leaf models of any length, size and configuration.

Most often, the ceilings of typical apartments have a height of no more than 2-2.50 meters and it seems that such a limit does not allow ordering a doorway length higher than usual. Our creative designer Irina Romanova and a team of her professional colleagues will be able to prove to the customer that everything is fixable and there are no limits to modern design reincarnations!

Tall new interior doors under the ceiling, created by individual order - will adequately decorate any interior! To install such a canvas, the master cuts out a high opening, decorating the upper wall with a spectacular ceiling molding or border. The design of a high door in the interior of an apartment can be made sliding with a “coupe” mechanism or with a cassette box that allows you to hide the canvas inside a special niche covered with drywall.

Stylish design of doors in the interior to the ceiling from the studio of Irina Romanova

1. Partition doors
Monolithic concrete walls between the kitchen and the dining room, the living room and the office significantly hide the square of the room and free space. In such cases, we suggest using interior glass sliding partitions that combine different living areas into one functional room.

2. Door in the form of a window
Tall transparent door designs allow sunlight to beautifully fill the room, illuminating it from different angles. The glass sheet can be supplemented with thick hanging curtains (roleta, blinds or fabric). This design of doors in the interior allows you to effectively imitate a large number of windows and change the layout of the house in different variations.

More recently, by chance, I got to a master class widely known in our country, and even beyond its chapels, decorator Irina Dymova. She cited a case that happened on one of her projects as an example. She got a large spacious hall, also known as a living room, in a country house. The problem was that at the end of this hall there was a small door leading to the kitchen. Not only did the size of the door not correspond to the size of the hall, but it was also somewhat to the side, not on the main center line. Irina found some interesting solutions on how to level the space. Among other things, she made a false door, in which only one part of it was a passage (highlighted in red in the photo), and the rest is decor.

I liked this idea and decided to explore other ways to change the doorway to make it appear bigger, wider, taller, depending on the decorator's goals.

Add windows

A fairly common technique is to add small windows on the sides or top. If the door were the size of the entire door+window opening, it would be too heavy, bulky and expensive. And in this case, you can put a standard door.

paint

The simplest and most cost effective solution. Most importantly, this method, unlike the previous one, can be applied when the repair is already completed. With the first method, such a number will not work, for it you need to expand the doorway, which means a lot of dirt and dust.

Make an overlay

Just as a headdress makes a person taller, so skirting boards, platbands, capitals, portals and other decorative elements, depending on which side they are attached to, make the opening either visually higher or wider.

This decor can also be attached after the main repair.

Add glass or mirror

Unlike the first paragraph, here we are talking about inserting glass or mirror into the door leaf itself. If the design of the door allows, this can be done even on an already installed door. The glazing beads that hold the panel are carefully pulled out, and glass or a mirror is installed in its place.

The effect, I think, is clear: glass / mirror adds depth to the doorway, and it psychologically seems larger.

Make a sliding door

Of course, the effect of an enlarged doorway will occur if the door moves from the outside, and not retracts into the wall. Then the opening seems to be double. We see the passage itself and the shifted door. There is an effect of a big double door.

Our perception is limited and easily deceived. If you don't have the ability to physically enlarge the space, you can visually resize it.

The unique design of stylish high doors of the Helder series can become a real surprise for the consumer. In this series, our designers managed to combine equanimity and coldness with a bright and unique character. And this is especially interesting in view of the fact that the series presents models in cold colors.

The overall design that distinguishes Helder high wooden interior doors seems simple and at the same time ambiguous and active. The canvas of the product looks cut into pieces. At the same time, the division is located asymmetrically, which adds to the overall image of liveliness.

It seems that the canvas consisting of paneled rectangles at the high interior door is filled with a special charm. At the same time, the “cuts” that formed the overall design of this series did not remain wide and empty. Inside the cruciform cavity, slats are located exactly in the middle of each line. The width of these rails is exactly 1/3 of the width of the opening, and in height they exactly match the height of the protrusion of the panels.

The inherent accuracy of all calculations allows us to create unique solutions. A clear analysis and selection of all parameters, drawing up a design based on classical calculation formulas, modern equipment and responsibility in work each time lead to the creation of unique high wooden doors that can decorate any room.

Hardware used in tall wooden doors

Modern doors of the Helder line are made in just three color variations: black, gray and white. And the sophistication of this choice is emphasized by the fittings used in these products.

Located just below the middle of the door leaf, the handle and lock are a restrained and elegant composition. The chrome-plated finish, slight bend of the handle and comfortable shape allowed it to become not only a decoration of a high interior door, but also a practical element that provides ease of use.
