The Advantages Of Aluminium Sliding Doors

Aluminium sliding doors have come a long way since the early days, when they were little more than replicas of the old fashioned and cumbersome wooden sliding doors that you sometimes found in old buildings trying to be upmarket.

Nowadays it’s not unusual to see aluminium doors in homes as well as commercial and public buildings. Just what are the advantages that have led to them being so popular?

A Few Advantages Of  Doors Made Of Aluminium

* Compactness – they free up space formerly taken up by traditional hinged doors that, when open, still form a solid obstacle to free movement in the area
* Ease of use – they can be opened and closed very easily, being light and yet strong
* Security – they are strong enough to withstand both the elements, including high winds, and attempts to break in
* Style – they simply look great
* Value – they easily add more than their cost to the value of your home.

And in addition Streamline Windows Brisbane sliding doors come in a number of specifications and styles to suit your own budget and requirements. They all incorporate heavy duty rollers and tracking systems, finely adjusted on installation so you can push or pull even our largest Multi Track or Summit sliding doors with just one finger.

Although mostly unseen and taken for granted, these components are the key to a smooth functioning, trouble free system. The design of our protective sills ensures they are kept free of dust and moisture, are not an impediment to foot or wheelchair traffic, and are completely unobtrusive. All our sliding doors come with a locking system for added security. Deadlocks are fitted as standard to external doors and are available on other doors.

Aluminium doors are so versatile as well. Because they take up so little space, you can use them even for small additions to your home, such as a porch. The lightness and transparency will make the smallest area seem much larger.

If you’re considering the replacement of a main external door controlling a large space with a lot of coming and going then the choice is between sliding doors and a bi fold system. Where space is an issue, and it usually is, aluminium doors have the advantage.

Our Multi Track Sliding Door system is made for this situation. It has multiple stacking panels including built in security tracks, all with flush fitting sills for ease and safety.

Larger areas, particularly where the height required exceeds 3 metres, are best fitted with our Summit Sliding Door. It gives a truly extraordinary degree of strength, with heavier gauge wall sections and large interlocking hollow sections, making it capable of withstanding cyclonic conditions and, of course, any attempt to break in.

Whichever of our aluminium sliding doors you choose, you can be assured of a quality product that will enhance the look of your home, add to its value, last for many years without any maintenance to speak of, and improve the quality of life for you and your family.
