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. Please see our separate Product Guides on Glass Doors and Folding Doors.
