WHAT IS THE INSTALLATION PROCESS OF INTERNAL SLIDING DOORS?
There are various methods of installing a sliding door. Most are set up, so the door is on the face of a wall and supported from a top rail above the head of the door, which is guided by a base rail set flush to the floor finish. The door will simply slide across an opening or aperture. Often the ironworks installed above the head of the door will be concealed, leaving a pelmet effect. This style of sliding door will be installed after the walls have been completed and fully plastered or dry lined.
An increasingly popular design regarding sliding doors is referred to as pocket doors, this is a neater and cleaner looking version of a sliding door as the door is set in the middle of the wall thickness and when open is hidden from view, as is the required iron works that control the door.
This style of sliding door will need to be installed as the wall is built.
External sliding doors are commonly used on patio and balcony doors particularly where a lack of space is available to open a door from a conventional hinge. Often clients prefer sliding doors as they are not susceptible to being blown around in heavier winds whilst open.
