What UPVC sliding doors do is to create the dimension of space connecting different rooms of the house. If you have a living room opening up into a garden the ideal way to connect them together would be a sliding door, this not only improves the look but also the feel of the space. It can even be used to connect living spaces so that it does not look cluttered nor heavy on the eye.
Safety
Even though sliding doors are large and are made of glass it is one of the safest installations you can have. Made from aluminium usually it is strong to withstand bad weather and intrusion. The glass is usually double layered or made with treated glass meaning it is stronger and thicker than ordinary glass that is used in mirrors etc. the double layer serves as extra protection and also as a way of either trapping in the heat or cold respectively. On summer days if your air conditioner is turned on the double layers will trap in the cold air and do the opposite on winter days.
