Imagine walking into your kitchen, your eyes drawn to your beautiful, customized kitchen cabinets. This is what gives your kitchen its unique character. Now, have you ever noticed the doors on these cabinets? Most likely, they're hinge-style, the kind you see in most homes across the U.S. Most homeowners choose them because they're simple, easy to install, and straightforward to fix.
But let's pause for a second and think: are these truly the best we can do? Could there be another option that's safer, more efficient, and even more cost-effective over time? Why don't we consider track doors for our kitchens?
This shift in perspective might just transform the way you look at your kitchen design. Let's explore this together.
What exactly is meant by "flaws?"
Standard hinge-style doors can slow you down. When open, they usually block access to other cabinets and kitchen areas. As a result, you must either get everything you need out of a cabinet at once or repeatedly open and close the doors.
Plus, they can also be hazardous to your health. As you rush to finish a cooking task or grab a bite, you may injure your face, head or shoulder by walking into a door that was left open.
Many hinge-style door front designs have narrow, sharp-cute grooves that are hard to maintain and are prone to dust and cooking oil buildup.
When & why should you consider track cabinet doors?
As you embark on a kitchen redesign or even just a cabinet facelift, the choice of cabinet doors becomes a focal point. This is where track doors, or sliding cabinet doors, come into play.
These are some of the most common scenarios in which they may prove useful:
- If you have a small kitchen or a galley kitchen.
- If your floor plan has narrow or limited traffic flow paths.
- If someone suffered a mild or serious injury because of an open door.
- If you're fed up with trying to clean the cabinet door front grooves.
- If you want a more efficient and aesthetically pleasing option.
What are track cabinet doors?
Track doors are solid doors mounted on top and bottom edge rollers in tracks built into cabinet boxes.
To gain access to a cabinet box, you slide these side-by-side doors left or right behind one another or into hidden wall pockets. An experienced cabinet maker can also install special tambour or garage track doors crafted with slats that flexibly roll side-to-side or up-and-down into a cabinet box; or an old-fashioned barn door setup with a single track along the entire length of a cabinet's so that the doors hang from a roller.
Whether you have a traditional or modern kitchen, the doors are available in a variety of materials and styles including wood, glass and mixed material options.
