Sliding, stacking and folding doors are not a new concept; however, with the trend towards large open-plan living and working arenas, today’s homeowner is opting for frameless glass. The frameless sliding and stacking systems are able to cover greater distances, allowing more natural light into your home and blurring the lines between the inside and outside.
The Hillaldam VistaSlide and VistaStack products are the first in the country to accommodate 12mm glass and is a completely bottom-supported system, which makes them virtually service-free.
What are some of the major differences between sliding, stacking and folding glass doors?
Folding doors are a series of doors hinged together. These move together as you open and close them. Stacking doors have many panels that move independently of each other, allowing the homeowner to open one or several, depending on their requirements. Sliding doors are large panels that move left or right and stack behind each other to create your opening.
What advice do you have for a homeowner looking at their product options?
Application, application, application! When you choose frameless glass sliding and stacking systems, the design possibilities are endless. The first question is to ask how the homeowner would like the doors to operate. This will determine the choice between sliding, stacking and folding. Secondly, do the doors need to be weatherproof or weather-resistant, and who will operate them? These questions will ensure you make the right product choice.
When purchasing a frameless glass door or window, what should a homeowner consider?
Quality first. Hillaldam has a five-year warranty on their VistaSlide and VistaStack frameless glass systems. With over 60 years in the door and window industry, we offer the best quality products on the market.
