What are sliding doors?
Sliding doors are a type of door which opens horizontally by moving the glass from side to side on wheels along a straight track. They can be mounted either on top of a track below or be suspended from a track above and some types ‘disappear’ in a wall when slid open.
The most convenient feature of sliding doors is the extremely simple movement of large and heavy doors. Thanks to the generous door dimensions, plenty of light can enter the room which, together with the refined design, makes everyone feel safe and comfortable. This door type allows barrier-free access to terraces or balconies, and can also be used just as room dividers.
Sliding doors are the better choice in terms of functionalities due to their space-efficiency, ease of use, better views and ability to pour in a lot more light inside a home.
