Sliding Glass Doors

In construction and architecture, sliding glass doors are a type of door made mostly from glass that’s usually positioned inside an external wall to provide light and egress.

There are many benefits to a sliding glass door, including that they let in much more natural light than standard doors do and provide excellent ventilation. They require very little space, improve the flow between outdoors and indoors, and offer greater energy efficiency.

The only noticeable disadvantage of sliding glass doors is how much cleaning they need. Because they’re basically large expanses of glass, you’ll more easily notice build-ups of grime, grease, and dirt.

Originally used at entrances to patios, pools, and other outdoor spaces, sliding doors are becoming increasingly popular as indoor space management solutions too. You can use them to create privacy in open plan offices, or in en-suites and other rooms. 

As long as they’re kept clean and in good condition, sliding doors shouldn’t be hard to open or close.

Frameless glass doors are created using thick glass plates, which are then hung onto a frameless glass frame. You’ll sometimes see a large beam positioned above the doors that supports the pivots on top.

Frameless glass doors are perfect if you’re looking for the flexibility of bringing two rooms in your office or home together but still want to keep the option of having a partition when you need it. Frameless glass doors are also an excellent option for creating indoor/outdoor flow as they eliminate the feeling of a barrier a more solid door creates.

The biggest benefit of frameless glass doors is that they provide flexibility. Frameless doors are a far more workable alternative compared to traditional doors because they take up less swinging space. This makes both the rooms they’re bringing together seem bigger.

One of the few disadvantages of frameless doors is that they can be more expensive than regular doors. This is because the thick glass must be specially made. BM Steel’s prices, however, are very competitive.

Yes. The high-quality glass used in these frameless doors costs more to manufacture than the thinner, lighter glass, so the cost increases accordingly. 

The first thing to do is set the fixed glass partition and the movable glass door leaf out and position them evenly. After that, you’ll need to install the limit slot at the top of the frameless glass door. Then you install the bottom wooden bracket of the frameless glass door’s metal facing. The next step is installing the rigid door frame, after which you’ll need to install the glass door leaf and get the glass fixation done. Then it’s just a matter of glass glue sealing and installing the butt joint between the glass of the frameless doors.
