A sliding window is the perfect solution where space and opening is at a premium. It is a type of window where the sash or shutter moves horizontally along a track in the window frame. They can accommodate larger glazed panels which means reduced sight lines and wider exterior views. It has options of a 2 track 2 shutter and 4 shutter arrangement and also a 3 track 3 shutter and 6 shutter arrangement.
Sliding doors allow for efficient use of space as they slide along a track and do not open into another area. In cities, where residents live in high rises with limited square footage, sliding doors give an accentuated sense of space. Not only are these doors easy on the eyes, but they are also easy to install and maintain. Essentially, these doors can open up rooms and create an illusion of space that makes a home or office look larger than it is.
Having sliding doors installed means copious amounts of natural light scattering inside through them and lighting up your home or office. Reduced artificial lighting during the day will also make your home look cosier and more welcoming. The flexibility of installing glass panes from the floor to the ceiling can provide a better and expansive view of your surroundings.
Unlike standard hinged doors, sliding doors can be made as wide or as high as desired. This makes shifting and re-shifting big furniture in and out of rooms an easy task. It allows for easy foot movement during gatherings or otherwise.
Sliding doors cannot be slammed! It is as simple as that. They are quieter to open and close as compared to other designs and require very little maintenance. One only needs some soapy water, a sponge, and a soft cloth to clean the sliding door panels and glass panes.
Glass sliding doors come in a huge variety of designs. The frames can be colour-coated and customised to suit your property’s aesthetic requirements. One can choose from various types of configurations like pocket Sliding doors, Patio Sliding doors, Sliding French doors, Bypass doors, Sliding Bi-fold doors, etc.
Installing double glass pane sliding doors help with heat gain or loss. During summers, especially, these doors will not allow the hot air from the outside to invade your interior spaces. During winters, they will trap the internal heat, thereby maintaining ideal indoor temperatures all year-round. This will help you reduce your energy consumption via heating and cooling systems, thus saving plenty on monthly energy bills.
Earlier it was thought that sliding doors might not be the safest structure to install inside a home, but toughened glass has altered this conception. Double-paned toughened glass adds a lot of strength and stability to these sliding doors. If you have little kids and they accidentally run into sliding glass doors, then they won’t get hurt. Moreover, in case the glass panes break, they will shatter into small, blunt, pebble-like pieces that can cause any serious injury as compared to standard glass panes. Sliding doors are very safe and easy to install.
