Sliding glass doors for verandas, terraces, arbors

Today, sliding glass doors have become incredibly popular. This is due to the practicality, functionality, stylish appearance of such structures. Thanks to the glazing of the porch or gazebo in a country house, the room will look complete and beautiful. But the most important thing is that you can be there in cold weather, while not losing sight of the wonderful view of nature.

Doors with sliding mechanism have much more advantages than similar swing models. We list the main differences between these two types:

• Saving space. This factor is the key difference. When planning the installation, you do not have to lay a few extra square meters in order to open the door freely, so this option is ideal for small rooms. You can use the space as efficiently as possible.
• Guaranteed tightness. Sliding systems will not open due to a sudden gust of wind or strong drafts. Such structures will be securely closed at any time of the year, regardless of the weather. Folds securely fixed in any given position.

• Convenience and practicality. Unlike swing doors, sliding doors do not scratch the floor or adjacent furniture. Even curtains and blinds will retain their original appearance much longer, since the material will not be constantly touched by structural elements when opening.
• Style and beauty. Of course, among the swing doors there are also attractive models. However, sliding designs look much more modern. There are options for constructions without frames and jumpers, which means that the review will not block anything. These doors give the facade grace and lightness, making its appearance more attractive. They can be installed even on the second floor. A variety of models will also delight buyers. On sale there are options of polycarbonate, with glass, as well as aluminum and wooden doors, and even soft PVC. You can easily find a suitable design design.

Someone might think that glass doors are very fragile and have a short lifespan. But this is absolutely not the case. Designs are made of high-quality, thick shock-resistant glass. The design is resistant to temperature and mechanical stress. Do not be afraid of the established opinion that glass is a very fragile and impractical material.

To date, there are three main types of structures with a sliding mechanism:

• Inclined and movable. By their nature, the way of opening such a design is very similar to bus doors. The movement of the canvas is carried out in two directions: on itself and to the side. The design of such a system provides a special device that allows you to lock the door in any position, as well as turn it into a window, to ventilate the room. This design is ideal for terraces, balconies and verandas. However, it should be remembered that this mechanism is not resistant to excessive loads. You can extend the life of the web by buying special door sills that protect it from external damage.

• Lifting-sliding. To open the door with such a mechanism, you need to slightly raise the canvas and move it to the side. When closing the design, the seals press the frame at the bottom and securely fasten. Thus, the heat will reliably remain indoors. A similar system is installed in the wardrobes.

• Foldable sliding. This is the most unusual type of system. The design consists of several sashes, which, when closed, completely open the doorway. According to the external characteristics of such a system is very similar to the harmonica. This door looks original and stylish, while very functional. If necessary, you can completely free up the space and make the door almost imperceptible, or open the sash is not completely. If you liked such a model, you should remember that it has very low heat-insulating indicators, so it is suitable only as an interroom design or a door for a warm time.

The price of sliding glazing is somewhat higher than similar options. However, if you take into account all the advantages of such structures, the amount looks quite justified.We list the main parameters that affect the final cost of the door:

• thickness and type of glass;
• total area of ​​glazing;
