Despite being a fairly simple element of the architecture of any room or building, there is an incredibly varied and vast array of choices when it comes to doors. The types of doors available for use in houses, offices and commercial properties range from bifold and rotating to automated, sliding and the now 'old-school' hinge and handle. Of course your decision about which door to install will be based on various factors such as the space available in the room and the activities conducted there, however, slider doors are emerging as one of the most popular choices in door design, particularly for offices.
Let's take a look at the top five reasons why sliding doors appear so widely in offices and commercial fit-outs:
Space: If your office is more cramped than you would like it to be, sliding doors are the ideal choice. They provide the most available space when they are open as well as when they are closed because the doors themselves slide away, out of sight.
Light: Glass sliding doors can be produced with surfaces ranging from laminated to dark tinted, opaque, clear or frosted. If your office is dimly lit and you want to conserve power expenses, glass slider doors at street level can be installed to maximise the use of natural light while also providing an outside view.
Sleek: Not only do these allow greater space for movement through and around rooms, they provide increased visibility between rooms and ultimately lend a modern, streamlined and professional appearance to office spaces.
Practical: Sliding doors are far more practical than traditional doors. Because they do not involve the use of hinges, and require no handle, these doors do not require lubrication or oiling and are not likely to swell in conditions of increased humidity as wooden doors can.
Cost-effective: Slider doors can be simply and easily installed. As well as providing a practical solution to the enclosure of rooms, slider doors can deliver a priceless view. They are also far less likely to slam shut, thus cracking or breaking, during conditions of high wind.
Whether you're building an office from scratch or planning a much-needed refurbishment, slider doors will provide the utmost in professional appearance and practicality. Most good companies will provide expert consultants to ensure that you make the right choice in slider door for your needs, as well as arrange and complete installation.
