Plastic sliding doors are an excellent solution in cases where you need to save space, maximize the penetration of sunlight and simply create a non-standard room design.
Where can sliding plastic doors be used?
If you install sliding plastic doors on a veranda or loggia, and even as an entrance door in a private house, they will not only save valuable space and visually expand the room, but will also fully cope with the task of retaining heat in the winter, since when closed they are a completely sealed structure. And for even greater thermal insulation, it is recommended to use modern energy-efficient double-glazed windows with silver coating. In terms of heat conservation, such doors are compared to a brick wall.

In addition to balconies, plastic sliding doors are used as interior doors. They cost less than their counterparts with a solid wood frame, but they cope with the tasks no worse. In addition, there is a type of sliding plastic doors called accordion doors.

Plastic sliding doors are often installed at the entrance to the bathroom, and are also successfully used to enclose shower cabins and bathtubs. This is much more convenient than curtains, through which water still manages to leak. Plastic partitions also retain heat, and you feel comfortable during bath procedures.

Advantages of sliding plastic doors
The PVC profile, beloved by everyone in modern window frames, is also used in the production of sliding doors. If you don’t like white color, you can order lamination of frames to look like wood or just plastic of any other color.
In terms of thermal insulation and reliability, plastic is an unsurpassed material. The sliding mechanism not only saves space, but also makes the doorway wider and more spacious. Such doors move silently and smoothly, and the locks protect against unauthorized entry, if it is a balcony door.
Sliding doors made of plastic can be of several types depending on the type of opening. This:
- tilt-sliding doors – the most popular option is when one leaf runs over another and moves parallel to it;
- lift-slide – they open only after the doors are first lifted and move along a metal rail on wheels.
Both options do not require any special effort to open.
