Sliding glass doors open up living spaces to the outdoors, maximizing natural lighting and airflow. They also create an aesthetically pleasing look that enhances your home’s value and usability.
Glass is stronger than people think, making it difficult to break and a deterrent for burglars. Many glass doors are fitted with shatterproof safety glass to provide additional security.
Bi-Folding Doors
When professionally installed, bi-fold doors can enhance your home’s aesthetic while delivering the energy efficiency you want in your living spaces. The ability to fully open these doors also allows for ventilation, reducing the need for air conditioning during warmer months and creating a healthier home environment.
When choosing a bi-fold door, look for the highest-quality materials possible. The frame material should be made from aluminum, rather than timber or vinyl, which may warp over time and leave gaps between the frames where cold air can sneak in and warm air can escape. The best bi-fold doors are also ENERGY STAR certified, with low U-factors that restrict heat flow and provide insulation.
A good quality bi-fold door system should require very little maintenance, though you should regularly clean the glass panes and frames with soapy water and a soft cloth. You should also make sure your doors have passed hurricane-testing standards and energy efficiency ratings.
Glass Pocket Doors
Modern pocket doors open seamlessly into the wall, creating a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that enhances any space. They are ideal for tight spaces where traditional hinged doors take up floor space. They also offer a number of practical benefits, including reduced noise and improved access, while eliminating the need for door clearance increases flexibility in furniture placement and room layouts.
Multi-slide glass wall systems blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, flooding your home with natural light and stunning views. Available in two-, three-, or four-panel configurations, these movable glass walls disappear into the wall when opened, ensuring you can fully enjoy your backyard.
