How to Choose the Right Door Limit Switch for Your Project

In the world of automation, safety, and mechanical design, door limit switches play a vital role in monitoring and controlling the position of doors, gates, and access panels. Whether you’re designing an industrial machine, an elevator system, or a home automation project, selecting the right limit switch ensures both safety and functionality.

As a trusted supplier of door limit switches and a full range of low voltage switchgear products, we aim to provide you with comprehensive guidance to help you select the ideal components for your specific needs.

This article provides a detailed guide on how to choose the best door limit switch for your project, highlighting the key factors, types, and applications you should consider.

What is a Door Limit Switch?

A door limit switch is an electromechanical device that detects the physical movement or position of a door. When the door reaches a certain position — fully open, fully closed, or somewhere in between — the switch activates or deactivates an electrical circuit.

These switches are commonly used in:

· Elevator doors

· Garage doors

· Industrial machines

· HVAC systems

· Automated gates

· Access control systems

Why Choosing the Right Limit Switch Matters

Choosing the correct limit switch is essential for:

· Safety: Preventing overtravel or mechanical failure.

· Accuracy: Ensuring the door is properly positioned before triggering other processes.

· Durability: Withstanding environmental stressors like dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures.

· Efficiency: Reducing maintenance and downtime in automated systems.

Key Factors to Consider When Selecting a Door Limit Switch

1. Type of Door Movement

The direction and nature of the door’s movement determine the kind of switch you need:

· Sliding doors: Require a linear actuator-type or proximity switch.

· Swinging doors: Benefit from lever or roller-type limit switches.

· Lift doors or panels: Often use plunger-type or magnetic limit switches.

2. Switch Type

There are several types of door limit switches. Choose based on precision, contact type, and actuation style.

Mechanical Limit Switches

· Actuated physically by the door.

· Types: Roller lever, plunger, or spring rod.

· Pros: Simple, cost-effective.

· Cons: Susceptible to wear and physical damage.

Proximity Switches

· Detect without direct contact (inductive, capacitive, or magnetic).

· Pros: Longer lifespan, sealed from contaminants.

· Cons: More expensive; may require specific mounting and alignment.

Magnetic Reed Switches

· Activated by a magnet attached to the door.

· Common in security systems.

· Pros: Compact, easy to install, no mechanical wear.

· Cons: Sensitive to magnetic interference.

3. Electrical Ratings

Match the switch with your system’s voltage and current requirements. Check for:

· Operating voltage (AC/DC)

· Load capacity (e.g., 5A @ 250V AC)

· Contact configuration (SPDT, DPDT, etc.)

4. Environmental Conditions

Evaluate the environment where the switch will operate:

· IP Rating: Ensure protection against dust and water (e.g., IP67 for outdoor use).

· Temperature Range: Some switches are rated for extreme temperatures.

· Chemical Resistance: For industrial or corrosive environments.

5. Mounting and Size Constraints

Ensure the switch can be securely mounted within the available space. Consider:

· Actuator travel distance

· Orientation (horizontal, vertical, angled)

· Cable or connector type

6. Durability and Life Cycle

Look for specifications like:

· Mechanical life (number of operations)

· Electrical life (switching durability under load)

Bonus Tips for Successful Implementation

· Test before finalizing: Always prototype with a few switches before bulk purchasing.

· Use protective enclosures: Especially in harsh environments.

· Add debounce circuitry: For systems sensitive to switch bounce.

· Ensure accessibility: Make the switch easy to access for maintenance or adjustments.

Walking it Back: PT 1

Characters: Fledge, Alaska

Word Count: 2,103

uhhh i started this over a year ago! i sit on things for a while. id like to get better at writing stuff more consistently but idk im happy w how it came out! hopefully u will not have to wait as long for part 2.

if u read it ummm ty! <3

“Hm.” The girl's eyes studied an unremarkable intersection on the floor of the exam room, avoiding the gaze of the doctor standing a few feet from her, who pressed the door closed behind himself following his greeting. Her fingers played with the paper pulled over the examination table.

“Something the matter?” While his tone seemed as genuine as she could gauge, the question made her regret acknowledging the misnomer at all. He set a bag down on the counter across from her and brought out his clipboard from under his arm.

She shook her head.

“Please, it’s alright. What’s up?”

“Uhm,” she paused. Her feet pressed at each other gently over the side of the table. “No one calls me that anymore.”

“Oh, well what do people call you now?” he flipped to the front page of his clipboard and leaned gently against the counter, facing her.

“Uh, Fledge.”

He smirked. “That stuck, huh?”

She shrugged. The little hexagon where the tiles met remained interesting.

He shook his head at his clipboard.

“General Drakon is so cavalier about that sort of thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone thought that was your actual name if he was the one to introduce you. Still though, surviving this long?” He let out a little laugh. “That’s a lifelong nickname now, I’m sure.” 

He looked at her as if he were going to wait for acknowledgement, but then continued. 

“I’m not much of the nickname sort myself but, hey, I think I’m willing to make an exception for you.” He scratched something onto the clipboard.

“Okay.”

He tucked the clipboard back under his side and lopped himself down on the office stool. Its momentum gently wheeled him into the range of Fledge’s downturned line of sight.

“Do you remember me?” he asked.

She let him slide his way into her vision and then quickly found another spot on the floor to look at. She shook her head.

“That’s fine.” He waved a hand. “I’m Dr. Alcess Alaska. I conducted your entry psionic evaluation a few sweeps ago. Couldn’t have been more than an hour or two.”

Fledge nodded.

“I’m here with you today to talk about a project proposal.”

Fledge nodded.

“So, you’re aware how even though you’re stationed here, you’re actually a member of the Imperial Psionic Corps, yes?”

Fledge nodded.

“I’m aware you’ve had some training, but do you know much about what they do?”

“A little.”

“What do you know?” he asked, in an attempt to coax a more-than-two-word response from her.

“They’re…” it felt exhausting for Fledge to even think of saying a full sentence. She breathed out. “They’re all psionics, and they do stuff for the fleet.”

“That’s the jist of it, yes.” 

“But,” he raised a finger, “They’re all very specialized psionics, not helmsmen or telekinetics or simple mind-readers. They receive individual training for their abilities.”

She knew that, of course. It was the whole reason she was a part of it. Still, she nodded.

“There’s a standard timeline for progression through the IPC’s induction, but after doing your entry evaluation I found that there’s a lot of potential with your abilities that I think deserve more unique attention.”

He started to say something else, but then cut himself off. He studied her floorlocked gaze, how her fingers crushed the paper between them.

“Fledge, do you know much about psionics? Your psionics? How they work, I mean.”

Fledge shook her head.

He drummed his fingers on the clipboard for a moment before scooting across the room to grab his bag from the counter. He opened it on his lap and set a couple things on the counter as he rooted through it, then wheeled back over to Fledge. He then reached back in and pulled out a colorful plastic brain and a small container containing a few plastic lobes. He removed the lid from the container and set it on the examination table next to Fledge, then set the bag on the floor and lifted the brain from his lap.

“Alright, so, stop me if I say anything you already know. Okay?” He waited for her acknowledgement this time, a barely perceptible nod, and then removed a blue lobe from the back of the brain, that Fledge could now see was held on with a magnet.

“This is the cucular lobe. All trolls have one, but in psionics, it’s a little larger. The shape and the other lobes it has contact with can affect the sort of abilities a psionic has and how they might control them.” Fledge watched keenly as he set the small, normal lobe on the table, and picked up a larger piece of the same color from beside her. “This one is more like yours.” The strong magnet clicked the lobe into place at the rear of the brain.

“See how it curls up past this,” his finger dragged along the brain, along marigold yellow and crimson red plastic; “the occipital lobe, and over to this one? The parietal? This is why your abilities are affected by touch, why you can ‘feel�� electromagnetic energy the way you do.” He offered her the brain. She let him pass it to her and immediately began picking off the other lobes and letting them snap back into place.

“You have what we call a material-responsive M-Type ability,” he continued, watching her play idly. “You can manipulate, but your abilities are moreso characterized by their sensitivity, your extrasensory perception, rather than their ability to make drastic physical changes. More typical of ceruleans, but yours have a certain versatility, and there’s a lot of potential I believe could be accessed through some implants and, of course, appropriate training.”

He took another piece from the container, a long, thin, curved, grey piece. He held it up.

“This is a type of foci. There’s several different kinds; you may have seen other IPC members with the foci behind their ears; those are the most common. This one is an implant and mostly invisible once installed. They allow for the observation of lobe activity, enable additional cerebral pathways, and can be used to enhance psionic ability in a number of ways.” 

He gestured for the brain. She held it out to him and he snapped on the piece, which curled from the front left of the organ back and over the cucular lobe. He withdrew his hands.

“I believe that, by using enhancements to magnify your psychic perception of electromagnetic energy, you can better control the ability. Instead of blowing up televisions and feeling static, you could…. turn the lights on and off, you could…”

---

A shot fired through the skull of the troll in front of her, spattering green viscera across the dry ground at Fledge’s feet.

She hadn’t been paying attention when the olive stepped forward and raised her weapon. Some fleet officer had been talking to whoever these trolls were about whatever they were doing-- a mutiny, maybe? -- whatever. It wasn’t Fledge’s turn. Fledge knew what the signal was, she knew how aggressive these trolls were allowed to get, and she knew what she was meant to do when either of those conditions were met. She just hadn’t done it without her gloves before. The thought had distracted her. Her hands dropped from rubbing at the nodes embedded in her wrist as the body thwapped to the ground. She didn’t need to look to know the sniper's barrel was already shoved down into the dirt, the more experienced soldier berating them— Stop, that’s what she’s for.

C’mon fledgling. Pay attention. Be here.

One pulse. Forward, 170 degree arc. This will dispel incoming psionics and ballistics, but will dissipate after about three metres.

A strong enough magnetic field through the brain is enough to disrupt regular synapse operation and cause seizures. One at the door, two on the balcony. Close the circuit, an invisible spherical tie around their head, and then release. Her fingers twitched about in front of her. It was a shot of air through her nerves, crawling down behind her eyes and across her body like a cool drink of water. Her eyes hunted around for another to show themselves. When none did, her fingers ground into her palms, deaf to her surroundings until a hand met her shoulder.

“That was good. Quicker on the pickup next time, maybe,” the officer quipped while she examined the damage, then started walking, letting her hand slip from Fledge’s shoulder. “Let’s see if whoever is inside is more reasonable,” she hummed.

Fledge followed as the others behind her dealt the finishing blow to the incapacitated troll near the door, another that fell from the balcony. Her mind began to warm again. She lifted the edge of her jacket, touching the bit of green flecked onto the edges. Would that wash out?

---

Alaska waved a hand as if to catch an answer from the air “...move ferromagnetic material. Just… apply magnetic fields and induce current more deliberately, precisely.”

She turned the brain gently in her hands, her thumb ran over the implant. A piece of metal in her head?

“We wouldn’t start with the foci, since your brain is still developing, but it would definitely be a part of this at some point. For now, I think it’d be best to do more research first. Like, where and how exactly do you feel electromagnetic energy?”

He raised a hand as her mouth opened. Ah, one of those not-question questions.

“I’m sure it’s hard to explain,” he continued, “but we can observe it. Before we can enhance, we would get you some peripherals, external gear to gauge what we can.” He gestured over his arms, his clipboard now set beside her on the table. “That will allow us to finely examine the activity of your culural lobe and its relationship to your movements and nerves. I theorize that down the line it might end up being beneficial to install internal receivers in other places too, since your perception is very likely beyond what’s processed by your CL, but that can wait.”

“I have some reading for you here…” he bent down from the stool and pulled out a packet from the side of the bag. She set the brain in her lap to take it from him. “One of the documents goes over the details of this specific project, but I also included some information on focii and some articles on other MRM psionics.”

“And this—” he reached over and tapped the corner of the packet, where a small, stiff card was paper-clipped to the front. “—is my contact information, so you can message me for any follow-up questions you might have.” He smiled and his hands returned to his lap.

“Of course, if you have any questions for me now I’d be more than happy to answer them.”

She nodded slowly as she thumbed through the pages. Diagrams of brains, titles containing words she knew, others she didn’t. She had questions, she was sure, but she didn’t know what they were or how to ask them.

“None right now?”

She shook her head, not looking up from the packet in her hands.

“Alright, well if anything comes to mind, you reach out, okay? Then, when I’m back next perigee, we can go over everything again, and make a decision.”

“I’ll do it.” It seemed so obvious to her. This was why she was here. Whatever doubt she had could be addressed later.

“I like the enthusiasm,” he chuckled, “but I won’t have time to start until next perigee anyways. I’ll be ready then if you’re still on board, okay?”

“Okay.”

“You can keep the brain, if you want. I have another.” She didn’t know if she wanted it or not, but he decided for her as he lifted his bag from the floor and wheeled his chair over to the counter to put the rest of his things away.

She followed suit with her new belongings and clicked the lid back onto the container of spare lobes. The clear box fit nicely into her jacket pocket, and she tucked the packet under her arm as Alaska had done with his clipboard. The brain stayed in her hands.

She hopped off of the examination table. Her thumb ran over the implant that curled around the organ. A fleeting thought, or maybe one of those questions she didn’t know how to verbalize, tried to etch its way to the surface, to piece itself together in her mouth, but got cut off by the doctor’s voice as he opened the door for her.

“It was good seeing you again, Fledge.”

*note: all of the characters mentioned below are from the now-cancelled show v.illains of v.alley v.iew. this post is not spoiler free. most of the information is canon adjacent with a few headcanons that can plausibly link them to the sky-verse, post show.

a rival city to maxville, centropolis is a city that is home to the notorious league of villains, an organization consisting of:

declan / oculon: handsome, charming and a touch manipulative, this boy knows how to heat things up. mostly because he's got heat vision.

eva madden / surge: don't let the cutesy accent fool you, if there's anyone who knows about shock and awe, it's surge. petty, vindictive, a little bit twisted and a master at holding a grudge, eva hails from a prominent villainous family and carries those values despite being on the run from the league of villains with her husband and children. she has inherited her father's electrokinesis rather than her mother's possession ability. to her family and those in her immediate circle, eva shows a much softer side. well, as soft as someone like her can be, that is.

victor 'vic' madden / kraniac: his super intelligence rivals mr medulla. unbeknownst to others, though, he wasn't always a supervillain. vic madden was once named jack thomas. as silver flame, he used his pyrokinetic powers for good, until they were 'stolen'. and if that wasn't bad enough, his family disowned him for falling in love with a villainness. he hasn't seen or spoken to them in years and he intends to keep it that way.

jacob 'jake' madden / chaos: one could be forgiven for thinking that will stronghold's got a doppleganger out there. jake tries his hardest to be a good person. to leave the world a little better than how he found it. thing is, though, villainy is all he's ever known and every so often, he back-slides. it doesn't help that his sister has been known to egg him on and to pull him into schemes.

amynta 'amy' madden / havoc: what do you get when you equip a girl with a rebellious streak a mile wide and give her sonic abilities to match? you get someone like amy madden who hides her heart of gold beneath many, many layers of snark, sarcasm and standoffishness. a proponent of "do first, ask questions later or maybe never", she often pulls her brothers into her schemes. despite this, she does fiercely love her family and is the first one to stand up for them when needed. after all, the old adage is true: the only person who gets to bully her relatives is amy herself.

colby madden / flashform: the youngest madden never got inducted into the league on account of gaining his powers later in life, but even though he might've been a latebloomer, that doesn't make him any less powerful; indeed, colby has more than one power, which makes control a steep learning curve.

clarity castañeda / imager: as her name suggest, imager can project life-like images. that is to say, she can cause them to see and hear things that aren't necessarily there; she can modify the sensory information in a person's head while their brain is processing it. aside from that, she can also project physical illusions that can be seen by everyone. her range includes anyone who's in her eyesight.

adelite gemson / shadow: daughter of the late villain onyx, adelite has been trained in hand to hand combat. aside from her enhanced agility, her powers are energy-based. she can blast a ball of destructive energy from her hands, as well as emit a beam that can immobilize a person. furthermore, she has access to technology that allows her to momentarily transform herself into a lookalike of another person and copy their voice, so long as she has a bit of their dna on her person.

visha kanya / slither: often called a "half-lizard freak", slither is a villainness who carries potent venom within her blood and saliva. she is covered in fine scales so delicate that they look like skin from any distance further than a couple of feet away. she's got a serpent-like split tongue and pupil-less eyes, yet she's able to see much better in dim light than the average human can. before onyx' demise, visha was his second in command. she's not necessarily defected from the league of villains nowadays but she has since struck out on her own when it was clear it was safe enough to do so.

yaritza soto / giganta: a known lover of pair skating yet without a solid partner, yaritza soto is a villainness who can drastically alter her shape and size. a hopeless romantic, all she wants is for someone to adore her exactly as she is. except most heroes have rejected her and all those rejections eventually pushed her towards and down the path of villainy. she's tired of being dropped. literally and figuratively.

other than the villains above, centropolis is also home to the heroes of the realm, consisting of:

captain valor: the number one hero of centropolis with a classic power set to match - super strength and invulnerability. he is also the one who holds the most sway with the superhero tribunal. he keeps any and all personal information close to the vest. in turn, the public is obsessed with him, always trying to figure out who he is behind the mask. there are multiple rumors out there. some of which he even helps into the world himself. the latest one is the fact that his real name is doug. it's not.

tyler 'ty' thomas / blue granite: it is not public knowledge but blue granite is kraniac's younger brother with energy-based abilities similar to shadow: he can use his energy blasts offensively and defensively. aside from this, he can also imbue objects with energy and turn those objects into explosives. adelite is actually his daughter, which he doesn't know about either. born from a one night stand, adelite's mom never told him she was pregnant and when onyx came knocking nine months later, adelite's mom was quick to leave her only child into the villain's care, believing her only daughter would be better off with him rather than with a spoiled man-baby.

judith banks / starling: ethan's much more powerful and very estranged cousin who is both the golden girl of the family and also the black sheep because she dabbles in temporal manipulation rather than liquification of any kind due to a traumatic accident that happened during her childhood. aside from this, starling - like shadow - has access to technology that allows her to, briefly, make use of mimicry. in starling's case, the technology mimics the natural elemental abilities she does not have, unlike the rest of her immediate (as well as estranged) superhero family.

Home on the induction range

Two takeaways from five months of cooking with an induction range: Water boils exceedingly quickly, except when I bump a pot or pan and send it sliding away on that almost-frictionless cooktop.

Since March, stovetop cooking hasn’t sounded the same in our kitchen. Instead of the click-click-click-poof of a gas burner igniting, turning recipe ingredients in a pan or pot into a meal begins with the beeps of buttons on a touch-sensitive display and then the pulsing buzz of an induction coil. Replacing the gas range that had come with our house when we moved in 20 years ago, and which had…

What are the difference between tundish nozzles and ladle nozzles in steel making

This article explains the difference between ladle nozzle and tundish nozzle. Learn about the difference between ladle furnace andtundish furnace. Welcome to know more about refractory nozzle and other kinds of refractory products.

The different between tundish nozzles and ladle nozzles

Tundish nozzle and ladle nozzle are important components in the process of steelmaking, but they serve different purposes.  Tundish is used in the continuous casting process to distribute molten steel into the mold, while the ladle is used for transporting and pouring molten steel from the furnace to the tundish.

Refractory nozzles including a so-called long nozzle, an upper nozzle, a lower nozzle, and an immersion nozzle made from high-alumina refractory material, graphite powder, silica powder and other minor constitutents wherein a major part of the high-alumina refractory material.

This article relates to nozzles used around the ladle and the tundish in a steel manufacturing plant and made from specially processed refractories, and more particularly, it relates to those used in so-called continuous casting.

Tundish Nozzle Composition

Tundish Nozzles are an integral part of Continuous Steel Casting process. These products are instrumental in controlling the flow of Molten Steel from Tundish to Continuous Casting. Long casting sequence time. Controlled casting speed.

Tundish Nozzles usually comprise a zirconia inner nozzle (often referred to as a “zirconia insert”) with a lower grade outer body such as Alumina, Zircon or Bauxite.

Ladle Nozzle Composition

Ladle-nozzle – a type of refractory products used in the process of non-stop casting of steel. They are part of the components of refractories to a steel casting slide gate. They are an integral replaceable part of the nest block.

Ladle nozzle is composed of upper and lower sliding plates and 4 refractory bricks for the upper and lower nozzles. The pouring of each ladle of molten steel must pass through the upper and lower sliding plates and the upper and lower nozzles, so they are very strict.

Tundish Nozzles are an integral part of Continuous Steel Casting process. These products are instrumental in controlling the flow of Molten Steel from Tundish to Continuous Casting. These are highly suitable for open casting.

Tundish Nozzle & Ladle Nozzle

What is the difference between tundish and ladle?

(1) The tundish nozzle is smaller than the ladle nozzle and is easy to be blocked by cooling.

(2) The height of molten steel in the tundish is used to adjust and control the flow of molten steel in the tundish into the mold.

(3) The tundish allows a reservoir of metal to feed the casting machine while ladles are switched, thus acting as a buffer of hot metal, as well as smoothing out flow, regulating metal feed to the moulds and cleaning the metal.

What is Ladle furnace?

In steel: The ladle. An open-topped cylindrical container made of heavy steel plates and lined with refractory, the ladle is used for holding and transporting liquid steel.

The main purpose of the Ladle is to raise steel temperature and to control the chemical composition between tapping and casting, removing and/or modifying inclusions and acting as a buffer in melt shop logistics.

In the process of steelmaking, once the steel is made in the basic oxygen furnace, arc furnace or induction furnace, it is transferred into the ladle for further refining, chemistry adjustment, inclusion modifications, etc.All these treatments are carried out in the ladle. Additional heat is required to carry out these operations. Hence the ladle is provided with a heat source which heats the liquid metal and compensates thermal losses. Thus the furnace in which the quality of liquid steel is improved by refining and heating is called a ladle refining furnace (LRF). Our offer consists of a wide range of safe and reliable refractories ranging from slide gate to nozzle to nozzle changers and purging plug systems.

What is Tundish Furnace?

The tundish is a container of large dimensions that receives the steel from the ladle prior to its introduction into the continuous casting machine.

Tundish are highly responsible facilities within the casting process of molten steel, because they are subjected to high temperatures continuously and failure of them involves not only the production sequence, but also the safety of the plant.

The tundish is made from extremely durable materials which are capable of coping with the high heat of molten metals. The equipment is usually lined with a material with low conductivity, and may be fitted with a nozzle to control the flow of molten metal. In other designs, the pour is controlled by hand or by machine. Controlling the pour is important to avoid casting a piece with flaws such as cracks and bubbles, and to accommodate the needs of different metals.

More details about Ladle Nozzle & Tundish Nozzle

Which is the connector pipe between tundish and steel ladle?

In steel making, the shroud tube creates a connection between the ladle and tundish of the continuous casting plant allowing molten metal to flow between the two.

What is nozzle and diffuser?

A nozzle is a device which accelerates fluid. During this process, velocity of fluid increases with decreasing pressure. A diffuser is a device which slows down fluid. That means velocity of fluid decreases with increasing pressure.

What are the different types of tundish nozzles?

Different kind of tundish nozzles include, Alumina, Alumina Carbon, Zirconia Alumina Nozzles, which are manufactured for single to multiple casting application.

What is a tundish nozzle used for?

Tundish Nozzles are an integral part of Continuous Steel Casting process. These products are instrumental in controlling the flow of Molten Steel from Tundish to Continuous Casting. These are highly suitable for open casting.

What is a ladle nozzle used for?

Ladle-nozzle – a type of refractory products used in the process of non-stop casting of steel. They are part of the components of refractories to a steel casting slide gate. They are an integral replaceable part of the nest block.

Let's transform this triangular coffin room into a fully functional house. For 10 years, Liam and his wife lived frugally, finally saving up enough to buy a triangular coffin room measuring less than three square meters. It's so tiny that even his pet want to run away from home. It's only big enough to fit his grandmother's coffin, and even a regular bed won't fit. Liam has to sleep on a rope every day. Realizing this isn't a sustainable solution, he decides to redesign the room like this. Firstly, Liam removed the original windows and used galvanized square steels to weld a frame, extending it upward to create more space. With some additional funds borrowed from his aunt, he purchased expansion screws to firmly attach it to the wall. Then he covered it with eco friendly wood veneers and created drawer space below for storing out of season clothes and thick quilts. He embedded a soft mattress on top to turn it into a bed. After reinstalling the windows, Liam made a big wardrobe in the corner beside the bed. The upper right side is designated for hanging clothes, while the upper left side holds work and daily necessities for professional needs. A low cabinet sits at the bottom, providing space for storing out-of-season clothes. He also installed a switch socket by the bedside, allowing him to lie in bed and scroll through his phone or read a book without worry. He made sure to leave a space for the projector as well. Liam made a combined cabinet at the end of the bed with kitchen items on top and pots and pans stored below. The sliding cabinet doors are smooth and shiny, and he placed an induction cooker on the countertop to simplify his meals. He also installed a range hood to ensure proper ventilation. To guarantee a good night's sleep, Liam installed fence by the window and set up a folding table here for a comfortable dining area. This space also doubles as a super-spacious study area for him and his girlfriend to learn together. When not in use, the table can be folded up to save space. At the end of the bed, he placed a projector for his girlfriend, Alice, who loves watching Korean dramas. In the middle of the room, Liam embedded a washing and drying machine below and placed a small refrigerator on top for his favorite snacks. The floor of the bathroom next to it is lowered by 5 centimeters with a marble vanity top embedded in ceramic. He stored all toiletries in the smart mirror cabinet, which reflects Alice's heroic and slim figure. Liam buried water tank accessories in advance and installed a wall mounted toilet to ensure his best moments at home are comfortable. He also installed a built in shower for added comfort during bathing. Now let's admire the overall effect of the redesign.
