Stile Sliding Door
Framed sliding glass doors are a popular choice for homes and businesses alike.
Advantages
Increased natural light
The large glass panels allow natural light to flood into the space, making it feel brighter and more airy.
Improved views
Framed sliding glass doors can provide stunning views of the outdoors, whether it's a backyard patio, a balcony, or a garden.
Space-saving
Sliding doors don't require the swing space of traditional hinged doors, which can be especially helpful in tight spaces.
Versatility
Framed sliding glass doors can be used in a variety of applications, both interior and exterior.
Factors to consider when choosing
Material
The most common frame materials are aluminum, vinyl, and wood. Aluminum is the most durable and affordable option, while vinyl is less expensive but may not be as strong. Wood is the most aesthetically pleasing option, but it is also the most expensive and requires more maintenance.
Glass
The type of glass you choose will affect the look, feel, and performance of your doors. Tempered glass is the safest option, while laminated glass is more resistant to breakage. You can also choose insulated glass to improve energy efficiency.
Size and configuration
Framed sliding glass doors can be made in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet your specific needs. Consider the size of the opening, the amount of light you want to let in, and the desired view when making your decision.
Hardware
The hardware you choose will affect the ease of operation and the security of your doors. Look for hardware that is made from high-quality materials and that is designed to withstand the elements.
