Sliding glass doors are becoming a more popular choice in home décor.

Sliding glass doors give contemporary homes a smart and modern look. With the intention of maximizing as much natural light as possible, sliding doors are usually large glass panes that extend from the ground to the ceiling, enabling you to enjoy both indoors and outdoors in all weathers. Sliding doors can be excellent efficient insulators, ensuring that your home stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. According to the size of the rough opening and how much natural light you want let in, the sliding glass doors can be in two or three or four panels. For the bigger rough opening, mostly four panels glass sliding door will be used.

What is the best material for sliding glass doors?

The most affordable frame option is UPVC, but it’s not strong enough, so the frames have to be fairly thick. Timber is a classic choice. Aluminum offers the slimmest profile, which equals virtually uninterrupted views. Tempered glass, also called safety glass, is often used in sliding glass doors, as it breaks into small pieces when impacted instead of leaving more dangerous, large pieces of glass stuck in the door.
