Interroom partitions (Part 2)
There are two types of sliding partitions: monorail and double-track partitions. The first ones are much more comfortable (it is not necessary to spoil a floor to build in an additional rail) though they do not provide absolute sound isolation (as there is a crack between a floor and a partition), but you will agree, that it is completely not obligatory in all premises of the apartment. Therefore they are used only in noisy zones: a hall, kitchen, dining room, sitting room etc.
When we move apart partitions, the sensation that walls disappear and there is a huge space which is looked through as on a palm is created. And then, not leaving a kitchen zone, it is possible to observe children, to welcome visitors and simultaneously to give valuable instructions on table layout for the supper. Thus a sitting room, where someone from members of family watches TV, can be temporarily isolated.
In a silent zone, where the bedroom settles down, sliding partitions or sliding doors are used for division wardrobe from a bedroom or a bedroom from bathroom.
If sliding partitions block space completely stationary partitions serve only for a designation of different functions of the same premises. For example, such partition (glass, plaster, etc.) separate a kitchen zone from dining room, and from kitchen it is used as an additional wall on which kitchen accessories, beautiful utensils, fine subjects of an interior are conveniently placed.
If there is a winter garden in your house two small glass stationary partitions can serve as conditional border for it, not breaking thus of an interior.
Stationary partitions are widely used for allocation of a computer zone in any part of the apartment.
As to bathrooms here partitions which are fastened to a wall and a floor are more often used. They are transparent and separate cabin from other premise. The aluminium partitions filled by glass, will divide a toilet and a bathroom, a bathroom and a boudoir. Besides stationary and sliding partitions in bathrooms decorative partitions from a brick or the special gypsum cardboard reveted by a ceramic tile are widely being used. Forms and furnish can be the diversified (semicircular, figured, with glass inserts, mirrors etc.) and everything depends on the designer’s imagination.
