This is a new & innovative way to manufacture glass door products. Using specialist lifting machinery we use the glass to form the structural integrity of the door and literally bond the door frames to the glass. This method alleviates the thick profiles required to manufacture the door and results in the slimmest frames possible. If you’re asking, which are the slimmest sliding doors? The answer is our structurally bonded options.
Structurally bonded sliding doors are a specialist product. They need to be installed millimetre perfect & have very little tolerance so ideally, the opening on-site needs to be created specifically to house one of these impressive glass doors. The frames themselves are extremely thin and the doors outer frame can be completely concealed so the doors can literally appear like a glass wall. To achieve this minimalist finish, it is important to base your plans around a specific door product, so we recommend choosing this product before the building works begin on site.
The slimmest sliding doors offering minimal sightlines, maximum glass areas, maximum views and light into the property our structurally bonded sliding doors are a true design statement. As soon as you walk into a room benefiting from these impressive glass doors you will see they are a dominant feature, both the slim frames and expansive glazing frame the exterior views and draw the outside space in.
The doors various profiles are all concealed by the outer frame leaving only a 25mm vertical sightline & a locking handle, which is incorporated onto the sliding door sash.
The visible external profiles are 59mm & suitable for brickwork openings, but the system has been designed for the outer frame to be concealed by external cladding or render. This allows another opportunity to minimise the visible framework & maximise the clean aesthetic of glass.
The threshold is designed to be concealed with a seamless finish from inside to out. It sits on a drainage profile that gives the door a solid base to sit on & ensures that water is drained down from the door & led away from the property.
