New Slide and Turn Door Technology

Connecting indoors and out is a big priority for homeowners and self builders.

Glazed doors are a fantastic solution for this, however many people struggle to weigh up the pros and cons of bifolds and sliders.

There’s now a third option to consider for your home – slide and turn doors.

The traditional options

Sliding doors have been popular for generations.The narrow sightlines and large glass panels possible with options such as IDSystems’ theEDGE are ideal for letting light in all year round.

But they do have their compromises. For instance, you could use a pocket slider, where the glass panels slide into a pocket in the wall. However, you’ll always be giving up an element of the opening to a fixed frame panel.

Bifold door technology has been around in the UK for almost 20 years. The key advantage is that you can completely stack the doors when open. Hence, bifold doors can seamlessly connect the inside of your home with the garden.

But even the sleekest folding doors, such as our Sunflex range, will have larger sightlines than sliders. That’s principally down to accommodating the hinges, running gear and locking mechanisms.
