What are sliding doors?
Window Quotes
from local window professionals
Sliding doors are frames that slide along a track, and they can be made of any material - glass, wood, PVC, plastic, paper. Sliding doors can be used internally and externally, and you'll choose your sliding doors based on your budget and use.
What kinds of sliding doors are there?
In no particular order, here are all the types of sliding doors you can get.
Standard - one or more full doors that slide over a portion of wall when you open it. This is a cheaper option than some others but has the downside that you can usually see the sliding mechanism and some options can be ugly.
French style - Imagine the look of french doors but with the convenience of a sliding door. Options also include doors that slide from the centre out and are sometimes a good way to install doors if you don't have a full length wall to use.
Bypass - in various different styles, these doors slide behind each other when opened. One side of the door will always be there, and you see these most often in wardrobe doors and patio doors.
Pocket - a cavern or 'pocket' is built into a wall so the door slides into the wall as opposed to along the outside of the wall. This is an aesthetic and space saving option but can be more expensive due to the additional construction required.
Over and above these styles, your options include colour, material and size. Most quality door companies can fit both custom made options and standard sizes, so post your job and get a quote today!
