Frequently Asked Questions
23 DOORS’S Aluminium expertise helps you get the best doors for your property project. Answers to common questions about sliding doors. Get in touch for further advice or information. We are here to help you.
What are the types of sliding doors?
Modern sliding doors come in several types, depending on the number of panels you want and how you’d like them to slide. You can get a double track, giving you the option of one door sliding behind a fixed panel or both panels sliding. A triple track gives you even more flexibility, with two or three panels sliding in either direction, depending on how you configure them. Sliding doors also make great room dividers and can even come in a corner design.
Are sliding doors a good idea?
Sliding doors are incredibly popular right now because no other door comes with glass sizes as large. With a two panel door, you get just one central mullion, creating a wall of glass. And closed, sliding doors create a bright and spacious room filled with natural daylight.
Are sliding doors better than bifold doors?
Both sliding and folding doors have their advantages and benefits, depending on your property size and what you would like from your new doors. Sliding doors give you larger glass sizes and fewer visible mullions but can’t open up the entire aperture like a bifold that slides and folds completely to the sides. Bifold doors have the benefit of coming with a traffic door, letting you use the bifolds closed like a regular door without folding the panels back each time. Sliding doors are great when you have a larger garden or great views. Bifolds can be better for smaller homes and gardens, making the property feel larger and connected to the outside when fully open.
Why should I choose the Europa ESS47 sliding doors?
The latest generation sliding door and one of the newest on the market, Europa ESS47 sliding doors suit the replacement of old doors and are perfect for a new extension. Contemporary in appearance and with a super slim 25mm middle mullion, Europa ESS47 doors are designed for regular or large opening sizes. They have low U-Values, excellent weather protection and overall security. Two key features are their soft-closing action and also the lift and slide option. Lift and slide doors let you partially open the doors and secure them in the open position.
Are sliding doors heavy?
Sliding doors should not be heavy when you choose the right product. With a quality set of rollers and components and good design, even the largest patio doors should be light, smooth and near-silent to open and close.
Are sliding doors secure?
With multipoint locking security, the doors in several locations, glass secured from the inside and overall good design, such as not being able to prise them off their tracks, sliding doors are secure, dependable and reliable. Most are also tested to the latest security and weather performance standards for added peace of mind.
How much is an aluminium sliding door?
The price you pay for your new sliding doors depends on the sizes, colour, handle options, number of panels and other factors. This is why prices for doors are bespoke. We can provide a fast quotation for your sliding door requirements.
What are the problems with sliding doors?
There are no problems with modern sliding doors when properly made and, importantly, correctly fitted. Bad manufacturing and installation cause problems with sliding doors, not the product itself. Assuming you choose a quality sliding patio door from a reliable manufacturer and installer, these doors will serve you very well for many years. The only thing to do is make sure the tracks are clean from leaves, grit, stones or other debris.
