More space and walking room

The design of the aluminium sliding door means that you don’t have to worry about a door swinging in or out and occupying valuable space. This is especially valuable in the summer and spring months when doors are frequently left open for fresh air.

With a bi-fold door, two functional rooms can be separated or joined. Create privacy in one room or bring them together for one large functional room. It removes the permanence of a concrete wall and is a more aesthetically pleasing option. A bi-fold door also gives the illusion of a large space, even if it is closed.

Easier maintenance for busy parents

Time and kids always get the best of us. With any kind of surface, the opportunity for fingerprints, dust, water spots or any other kind of element to end up on our doors is possible. It is not something that can be avoided but, it is something that can be made easier.

With aluminium sliding doors, maintenance is extremely easy. Here are a few ways you can clean different types of aluminium sliding doors.

• For aluminium sliding doors that have one face on the outside, use a garden hose to douse the frames and glass. This will remove surface dirt and make it easier to wipe down. Then, using a damp cloth, wipe the outside and rinse once again.

• On the side facing indoors, wipe down dirt or stains with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use an aluminium cleaner on the frames and a glass cleaner on the screen.

Versatile

When deciding on whether or not to purchase aluminium sliding doors, remember one thing: they are versatile. We mean versatile in both the practical and cosmetic sense. Practically, aluminium sliding doors can be used to enclose patios, as front or back doors or even as room separators.

So, the next time you’re wondering if it’ll fit into your home’s style, remember that aluminium sliding doors can work anywhere and for anyone.

Natural light for small rooms

This is extremely beneficial for anyone with a small apartment or home, in need of space. Natural light brightens up corners and makes any room seem much larger than it is.
