All about tight closing sliding doors
Sliding glass doors let floods of light into rooms, but some people fear brightness, odors or heat loss. The solution: tightly closing sliding glass doors. Read here what you need to be aware of.
With rubber on the sides and towards the wall, as well as a brush seal on the floor, tightly closing sliding doors seal the room tightly against all disturbing influences - and yet allow an open living concept: glass enlarges rooms, saves space and, incidentally, energy. A small, narrow house can take on a whole new, spacious and bright character thanks to sliding glass doors. A sliding door with a seal offers many advantages:
Heavenly rest - heavenly light
Large, open spaces with lots of light do the soul good and raise the quality of life. But sometimes everyone needs their peace and quiet - whether to enjoy it or to concentrate in the home office. A tightly sealed Sliding door made of glass offers both: the glass lets light into the room, and the nearly invisible seal blocks out sound. A tightly closed Glass sliding door, such as PLANEO AIR SILENT, offers similar sound insulation as Hinged doors made of Wood, but much more space and light for your well-being.
Odor and vapor proof
An open kitchen promises a modern ambience, generous viewing angles and a good feeling of space. Cooking fumes, steam and odors in the living area speak against this - a kitchen that is only temporarily open would be the ideal solution. A clear, tightly closing Glass sliding door offers just that: it seals off the kitchen as long as cooking is going on there and keeps disturbing fumes out of the living area. Afterwards, you open the kitchen door again and reconnect the kitchen with the living area. If you want to keep the illusion of the open kitchen all the time, choose a tightly closing Sliding door made of glass in Pure White quality.
The property of being tight against vapors and odors also makes a tight-closing Sliding door ideal for the bathroom, especially for small bathrooms or guest toilets, as well as a walk-in closet in dark, awkwardly located corners.
Bright comfort
Everyone likes cozy warmth in their home - preferably in combination with invigorating light. A tightly closing sliding glass door provides both. Rubber lips sealing the wall and the floor brush prevent unpleasant drafts. This is good for your well-being, for your health and for your wallet, because you save on heating costs. Thanks to the translucency of the glass doors, you no longer have to choose between open living and comfort.
