Glass doors are a great way to open up your space – here’s why…
If things are starting to feel a little cramped in your home, it may be because of all that stuff you’ve been hoarding since last year. It may also be because you’re not making full use of your home’s floor plan. There are easy solutions to both: start decluttering and get better doors.
Since the former is self-explanatory, let’s get into all the neat things you can do with . Panda Windows & Doors is sharing three reasons why customizable glass doors are a great way to open up the space in your home.
Folding door systems can allow for a more open floor plan, and they are a suitable choice for those who want to seamlessly connect two distinct areas of their home.
You got that part from the intro already, right? So, how do they do it? Well, the best way to do it is to use the top-hung system - designed so that individual panels stack against one another on either side of the door frame, creating an unobstructed view when the door is fully open; this feature also eliminates the need for a storage pocket for the panels to slide into, resulting in more available space.
Because accordion doors are effective at improving ventilation and allowing more natural light into a home, they are recommended for patios, balconies, and other outdoor spaces.
Naturally, if they’re going to be used for such applications, they have to come with the appropriate amount of protection. Quality door systems are made to withstand precipitation events and heavy winds.
Want a little more? You can request thermal breaks and energy-efficient glass. You can also integrate a swing, egress, or flag door into the design. This “daily door” can be used to enter and exit the area without opening the entire system.
Curved, multidirectional, and zero-post corner doors can be fabricated to fit numerous layouts. If you’ve ever wanted a stylish entryway that looks like it was lifted right out of a five-star hotel, this is a good way to achieve it.
Oversized doors can also be designed, using heavy-duty European groove-hinge anchoring systems with 10 mm stainless steel pins. Like the standard doors, these “Ultra” designs are engineered to be easy to open in spite of their extra weight.
