What Are The Biggest Benefits Of Aluminium Sliding Doors?

There is a minimalist beauty in brushed aluminium and choosing to have sliding doors professionally installed not only makes an aesthetic statement but provides a wide range of practical benefits.

Whilst there is evidence of sliding doors being used as early as first century Pompeii, sliding doors provide a sleek, modern style that complements a wide variety of different types of homes and interior design styles.

In particular, they are particularly effective for daylighting; as many sliding metal doors have quite substantial windows, they allow for a lot of natural light, which helps make a room feel airy and spacious.

Sliding doors are designed with the best use of space in mind. Unlike other types of doors which necessarily require a lot of space in your patio, garden or balcony to ensure they can be used effectively, sliding doors can provide a wide opening without losing any space in the other room.

Security is paramount with external doors, and aluminium doors are often designed with highly advanced security features in mind.

Sliding doors are compatible with multipoint integrated locks, security glass and advanced alarm systems, giving you peace of mind when you lock them.

Many patio, garden and balcony designs try to merge indoor and outdoor spaces, usually by bringing greenery in, and the best way to make the transition from interior to exterior parts of your home seamless is through the use of sliding doors. This is particularly effective with conservatories, orangeries and verandas.

Aluminium is easily coated or painted, which allows you to have any type of finish you want from the handles and the metal frame to the glass itself, which allows you to add a personal touch to your home.

Finally, sliding doors are typically very easy to open. The smooth rails and easy-to-use handles mean that there is a lot less effort involved in opening and closing a sliding door than a conventional one.
