Sliding outer doors are perfect when you want to open your home to the views and sounds of the garden. Unlike folding and French loft doors, the sliding version does not open, stack or wobble, and is easier to handle thanks to a simple sliding movement, as opening is carried out on a single track.
Improving your family's quality of life, saving on energy bills, reducing the carbon footprint and increasing the value of your home are just some of the benefits of using large-sized glazing in sliding doors.
Larger properties are able to accommodate larger spaces followed by larger panel sizes, minimizing the number of doors that need to be opened. This effect is enhanced when the doors are made of premium-grade steel, because not only the dimensions of the panels are larger, but also the muntins are thinner than when using other materials, creating the effect of a glass wall.
This style also provides easier access to and from the garden, especially in the case of low tracks that can be recessed into the floor in order to ensure a smooth transition.
Efficient ventilation is another advantage of large sliding loft doors. A single door can be slightly moved apart, completely or anywhere in between. Adequate ventilation in your home prevents moisture build-up, which protects your health and protects against moisture.
Good airflow also helps with getting rid of unwanted odours coming from the kitchen or caused by pets.
This style of patio loft doors is perfect for busy family life as they will not get locked or broken by gusts of wind, and the panoramic view is great for keeping an eye on your toddlers playing in the garden.
