Each aluminium door system has its own operating mechanism, structural requirements and aesthetic appeal. The right choice depends on how you intend to use the space.
• Sliding Aluminium Doors: operate on a track system, where one panel slides horizontally in front of another. Because they do not swing inward or outward, sliding doors are practical for areas with limited floor space. They are commonly used between living rooms and patios, as well as in bedrooms and kitchens that open onto outdoor areas.
• Folding Aluminium Doors: operate on a track system, where one panel slides horizontally behind another. Because they do not swing inward or outward, sliding doors are practical for areas with limited floor space. They are commonly used between living rooms and patios, as well as in bedrooms and kitchens that open onto outdoor areas.
• Stacking Aluminium Doors: similar in appearance to sliding doors but with a different operation. Multiple panels slide and stack in front of a fixed panel or into a designated space, allowing for a wider opening than traditional sliding systems while maintaining smooth movement. A great option for modern homes looking for flexibility and a clean finish.
