1. Sliding doors with architectural stability
Sliding Glass doors have typically one fixed
panel. It could be wither a top hung panel or a
bottom panel, depending on the space and size the
door frame takes. For stability, the fixed panel
comes with a matching panel frame that slides
sideways across top and bottom tracks. Panel
materials could be made of stainless steel,
aluminum alloy or even reinforced plastic
polymers as per budget.

3. Which type of sliding door to buy?

• Depending on the size of the room, there are two
  popular versions of sliding doors recommended by
  builders. They are
• Pocket sliders
• Arcadia doors
• A pocket sliding door is installed where space is
  a constraint. These sliding doors camouflage with
  the wall surface, often giving a decorative
  appearance.
• When there is no room for a hinged door, and you
  wish to have a continuous wall effect, use pocket
  sliding doors.
• There are single door and double door versions
  available in the pocket sliders. Ideal for
  installations in veranda, bathrooms and kitchens,
  these doors are considered easy to use if you
  have an elderly person or a disabled resident in
  the house.

• Arcadia doors are exclusively used in master
  bedrooms to maintain the thermal consistency in
  the room. Other versions of the sliding doors
  that you can check for installation at home are
• Mirrored doors
• Impact French doors
• Bypass doors
• Louvered or shuttered sliding doors
• Influenced by the Oriental architecture, popular
  sliding door designs like Shoji and Fusuma panel
  doors are also raking massive commercial
  attention from both designers as well as
  customers.

4. Energy efficiency
Since glass is a poor thermal conductor, you
should buy a sliding door with glass frames
fabricated with triple glazed materials. To give
more strength against outdoor forces, these
glasses can be fixed with reinforced mullions and
faux grids serving dual purpose of maintaining
energy efficiency in the space.

5. Automatic operations

• Some companies are offering installation of
  sliding doors with automation.
• Automatic sliding doors are common in commercial
  areas like showrooms and offices.
• The magnetic locking ensures that the door stays
  within its panel.
• You can even install them in your bathroom to
  extend a luxurious touch blended with technology.
