Definition Of Sliding Doors
If a panel slides on a track, it is called a Sliding door. There can be multiple tracks & multiple panels depending on the design. Doors are directly mounted on floors & fixed in the roof from the top. If the bottom track is not submerged, you will always see a tuck at the floor, creating hindrance while passing through that door. In sliders, we can get two types of openings, either 50% or 66%, depending upon the design selected.
Design Of Sliding Doors
There can be multiple design options concerning how many tracks you have selected. There are majorly three types of offerings available in the market: two tracks, three-tracks & four-track. In the future, we can put panels in combinatorics, like two tracks with either 2 panels or four panels, similarly 3 tracks with either 3 panels or 6 panels, and so on. An additional option of putting a mesh panel is also feasible. Every design gives you a different type of opening. For example, if you have an opening of 3 meters in width, then let’s put each design individually.
If you put a sliding door of 2 tracks with 2 panels, you will get 50% opening, i.e., 1.5 meters, whereas if we select a sliding door with 3 tracks & 3 panels, then we get 66% opening, i.e., 2 meters. In the above scenario, we must take care of two essential points. One is the maximum possible width & second is price impact. Before proceeding with the negotiation, please check the maximum width possible in panels with the company & material of the window you are dealing with. Three track system is always costlier than 2 track. So, select wisely whether you want to compromise on opening size or cost. Four-track systems are not so readily used. It needs big sizes.
