tolóajtós

The term "tolóajtós" is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "sliding door" in English. It describes a door that opens by sliding horizontally along a track, rather than swinging on hinges. This type of door mechanism is commonly used in various applications due to its space-saving nature and aesthetic appeal.

Sliding doors are often found in residential buildings, particularly in modern homes and apartments, where they can be used for balconies, patios, or even as interior room dividers. Their ability to glide open without requiring clearance for a swinging arc makes them ideal for smaller spaces. In commercial settings, sliding doors are frequently employed in storefronts, as automatic entrances for public buildings, and in industrial warehouses for large openings.

The mechanism typically involves rollers or wheels that run within a track, allowing for smooth and easy operation. Materials used for sliding doors vary widely, including glass, wood, metal, and composite materials, offering a range of aesthetic and functional options. Modern sliding door systems can also incorporate features like magnetic locks, soft-close mechanisms, and energy-efficient glazing. The term "tolóajtós" directly refers to an object or a space characterized by the presence of such a sliding door.
