ABOUT SLIDING GLASS DOORS
Sliding Glass Doors are most usually used as external doors. The most common type is the bypass sliding glass door. This typically consists of two or three leaves, which slide past each other. A more sophisticated type is the sliding folding glass door. This opens in concertina fashion, folding in on itself. It has the advantage that the whole side of a room can be opened to the outside. Sliding Glass Doors can also be supplied as secondary doors, to be fitted to the inside or outside of existing sliding glass doors. This improves sound insulation and heat insulation, and prevents draughts.
The leading sliding glass door manufacturers selected by Abacus Construction Index, which are listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of sliding glass doors, including online catalogs, specifications, materials and finishes for sliding glass doors, and care and maintenance of sliding glass doors.
