Best Sliding Folding Window

Sliding and Folding Doors and Windows – AGV System Offers Both Customized as Per Your Requirements

You might be familiar with our sliding range of doors and windows that are affordable, and yet utilitarian and practical. However, there is yet another range of sliding products that AGV System offers, which also have folding capabilities.

Now you may be wondering, if standard sliding products get the job done, what's the point of adding the folding functionality? Well for one, they look even more premium and offer a few benefits of their own as well.

So here we'll talk about some of the best sliding folding windows and doors made from equally high-grade aluminium that we can deliver anywhere in India. And, also why you should be getting them in the first place.

What is Sliding Folding Window?

A sliding folding window is something that has both rails, and hinges which you can use to operate the window. These combine the features of both fixed casements and sliding windows, as a result of which you can not only save space but also easily open and close them.

These consist of at least two partitions, and tracks are present on both the top and bottom. Also, these can be built to cover large places and provide you with an unobstructed view without the presence of grills and such.

What is Sliding Folding Door?

Similar to the window counterparts are the sliding folding doors which operate on the same principle but are a welcome addition to entrances and gates. And not only that, these are suited for small openings too, since one can fully utilize the open area of the door.

Also, every panel on the door can be customized in terms of looks and size, so no matter if you want to install one in the interior of your home, or facing outward, you get the right fit and design.

So the question is – Are these better?

Well if you compare them with most other kinds of doors and windows, sliding folding windows and doors are better in a few aspects, but there are some drawbacks as well.

The main advantage of these is that no matter how many partitions, the entire setup folds and stays in place seamlessly. While on one hand, this saves space, on the other, it elevates the quality of the surroundings.

Not only that, but they also complement modern architecture and as a result are suitable for any modern residential or commercial establishment.

Now the less likeable things about these include the fact that adding a bug mesh or a screen to obstruct light is not that easy on these. You do however have the option of getting double glass for better insulation.

Now that you know who it is for, you can consult with us for the best sliding folding window and door designs.

Top Hung vs Bottom Track Sliding Folding Door

But that's not all, since there are two kinds of sliding folding doors – top hung and bottom track ones. And when it's time for you to choose, it can be confusing. With our help though, you get access to a simple and easy solution.

top hung sliding folding doors are the more sophisticated option between the two, and these are often referred to as frameless doors. What happens in these is that the entire weight of the door is suspended from an assembly fitted on the ceiling (or upper border).

And, there is a track beneath that helps to keep the panel in place. These are not only visually more appealing but offer the following benefits as well:

• These are extremely secure once fitted rightly, so no need for maintenance for a considerable number of years that follow the installation.
• As the weight is suspended and the rollers are at the top, top hung sliding folding doors are much easier to operate, and one requires minimum force to do so.
• It is easy to clean these doors since, in this arrangement, gravity does the work of keeping dust and other blockages away for you.
• You can perform maintenance, when needed, quite easily.
• The lower track, with the use of modern building techniques, can be integrated into the floor, to the point that they won't even be visible from a distance. So no tripping over even if you aren't careful.

If these indeed have so many benefits, why do people choose bottom sliding doors then? Here's why:

• • Not every building is built to endure the weight of a door (if not many) hanging from the ceiling. So people who face this issue have no other choice but to opt for bottom sliding doors.
• • Another factor that determines whether you should get a top hung or bottom sliding door is your budget. The latter may not be as premium but doesn't cost as much initially either.

This is the reason why bottom sliding doors, even with a greater demand for maintenance are still widely used.

As you now know the good and bad of both these kinds of doors, it is up to you now to which to choose. If you still have any doubts or need expert advice on which kind would suit you the best, feel free to contact us.
