Two residents but only one room? Then a partition wall with a sliding door is needed as a passage. It is easy to set up and can even be dismantled later.
At some point everyone has faced this problem: "We need one more room!" Be it, because an addition to the family was expected, be it, that an extra visitor- or study had to come. The easiest solution, provided space allows, is the erection of a partition in lightweight construction, so made of metal- or wood studs and plasterboard.
The special highlight here is an integrable sliding door, having no place in the room (opening angle), but only those in the erected wall, also im Wandhohlraum, needed. Sliding door systems in conventional construction (concrete and stone) have so far required large wall thicknesses due to the construction of the wall. The Knauf sliding door system, on the other hand, only requires two layers of plasterboard 12,5 cm space for 4 cm thick, smooth doors or 15 cm for doors up to a thickness of 6,5 cm with light openings and glazing beads.
The passage width of the opening depends on the size of the door leaves, it from 61 cm to 98,5 cm suitable from the manufacturer Herholz. Two sliding doors can also be combined, so that a maximum passage width of 180 cm is reached.
We have dispensed with the wooden frame that is usual for room doors and have opted for a flush installation with plaster protective edges. It is therefore best to find out about the possibilities from a building materials dealer. It is also the first address for plasterboard and metal posts.
The Herholz company supplies the matching doors for the sliding door system Krona Kit-Futura from Knauf, whose complete address can be found on the manufacturer's website. The comprehensive range from Herholz ranges from the simple plastic-coated chipboard door to those with real wood veneer to the elaborately crafted solid wood door with embedded cassettes, which are available in both natural and lacquered versions. Matching door frames are also available with and without profile strips. Our door shown here is a cheap real wood veneer door covered with red foil.
SET UP PARTITION WALL
1 Zu allererst werden die Boden-und Deckenprofile (YOUR-Profile) cut with tin snips. Proceed with caution, because the edges are quite sharp!
2 Nun auf die Unterseite der Profile einen Streifen des selbsthaftenden Dichtungsbandes kleben und das erste Bodenprofil auf dem Fußboden befestigen.
3 + 4 Place the CW profile, cut to ceiling height, into the floor profile and attach it plumb to the wall with dowels and screws. Working with a spirit level is indispensable here! tip: The drive-in dowels are used quite quickly. They are hammered through the pre-drilled hole in the profile into the hole in the wall with a few hammer blows. Be sure to pay attention, that the distance between the screw connections is never greater than 100 cm.
5 Nun wird das Deckenprofil auf gleiche Weise befestigt.
6 + 7 Place the CW profiles in the UW profiles and connect with the crimping tool. The crimping pliers create a positive connection between the metal profiles, by cutting and beading the overlapping profiles in one step. (A pair of pliers costs about 80 Euro, is also available on loan in the construction business.) For reasons of stability, the distances between the profiles should not be more than 62,5 cm.
8 In the area of the wall connection to the left and right of the profiles, an adhesive separating strip is attached for the plasterboard filling.
9 Das abgehängte UW-Profil mit der Wasserwaage ausrichten.
INSTALL THE DOOR HARDWARE
1 Die beiden Querträger für die zweiflügelige Schiebetür werden waagerecht in das UW-Profil eingeklippt.
2 Nun müssen die Systemprofile, of which there are rear and front, aligned and fixed. Please note: A very good and detailed description is included with every sliding door fitting system "Krona Kit Futura" from Knauf, so that the details will not be discussed further here.
3 Querträger mit Holzschrauben von oben am UW-Profil befestigen.
4 Anbringen der ersten Gipsplattenbeplankung mit Kantenschutzprofil.
5 Zweite Beplankung mit Schutzprofil.
PROMISE THE GUIDE RAILS AND HANG THE DOOR
1 + 2 The cross member is shortened at both ends according to the markings for the correct passage width or door leaf width. The dimensions for the respective width can be found in the table in the assembly instructions for the sliding door system. In our case, everything was done for a door leaf width of 73,5 cm aligned and therefore sawn along the markings S3 and D3.
3 Zum Einpassen der Laufschiene in den Querträger den kleinen Holzklotz vorübergehend einschrauben.
4 + 5 Then shorten the rail and mount it in the carrier. 6-8 Mount the plastic suspension for the carriage, Remove block from carrier, Insert trolley, Reattach the block. Then hang the door and adjust.
