DOUBLE GLAZED SLIDING DOORS

A sliding door configuration has the opening leaf sliding in a horizontal direction past another fixed half. Optionally, these may have four panels to create French sliding doors, with the middle two sliding out to each side to make a larger opening.

 

Our glass sliding doors are designed to open the space to a terrace or the backyard. Combined with a fixed panorama window, each external sliding door provides a perfect complement to a living area, with our in-house designed rollers supporting smooth operation and easy opening and closing.

 

The specially designed gaskets (seals) ensure airtight closure, with an air infiltration test reporting identical air tightness to our hinged door system — an extremely rare result in a sliding door operation.

 

A multipoint locking system is utilised to further enhance its security and has three individually adjustable locking points with opposing upper and lower lock points. This prevents our aluminium sliding doors from being lifted off their tracks, providing optimum security which has been tested to withstand over 4kN of forced entry pressure.

 

Each double glazed sliding door has an internal soft-closing sliding timber flyscreen. For easy fitting and replacement, the flyscreen rolls on an aluminium track.

 

Tip: The demands upon sliding door gaskets are extremely high over their lifetime. Prevention in air leakage and thermal penetration can only be ensured by a continuous gasket that tracks the whole perimeter of the frame without interruption. It is important to note the gasket's material and the frame's craftsmanship when comparing other products to Miglas.
