Making the Most of Indoor-Outdoor Living with Glass Stacker Doors
The sayings go, “There’s no place like home”; and “home is where the heart is”. This place we all call “home” is one’s personal sanctuary and safe haven. Even so, there’s always room and scope for improving your dwelling. Have you visualised the allure of glass stacker doors to enhance your property?
Bringing the Outside In with Glass Stacker Doors
First and foremost, glass stackers allow you to bring the outside into your interior spaces and vice versa. High-quality glass stacker doors are not only a fine-looking addition to your home; they’re also very versatile, offering the homeowner a variety of flexible functions that support a highly desirable, modern trend. Even more, an indoor-outdoor flow allows natural light to burst into your heart’s home.
The Gen on Glass Stacker Doors
To an extent, glass stacker doors are almost the meeting point between the concepts of bi-fold and glass sliding doors. Stackers consist of glass panes that fit into wooden frames – like bi-folds. Stacker doors slide along tracks to open and close – like glass sliding doors, but with more sliding panels.
Space-Saving Design
The number of panels is determined by the width of the opening where the stacker system is installed. Each sliding panel stacks in front of a single fixed panel, forming a neat, compact, space-saving stack. No stacker sections protrude into the interior space, nor out onto the patio area.
Because these doors consist of multiple panels, one may choose how many of your patio stacker door sections you want to open when increasing or limiting the indoor-outdoor flow and floor space. Similarly, you can also adjust how much fresh air you allow to flow into your home by opening or closing panels.
Factors that Determine Quality
At Door City Group, we pay careful attention to various important factors that ultimately create the overall high quality of our doors. Each one of several factors has its role to play, starting with the type and typical characteristics of the materials and components we use to perfect our glass stacker doors.
Solid Maple
The timber-framed sections of our stacker doors into which large, clear panes of glass are fitted, plus the actual built-in door frames, are constructed of solid maple wood, a natural hardwood that performs really well in outdoor conditions. Maple timber may be stained in a variety of colours – another Door City speciality.
Glass Panes
We ensure that the panes in our glass stacker doors comply with the relevant standards as per Australian regulations, ensuring your safety and the perfect panoramic views of the outdoors and the natural light that you enjoy.
Track and Wheel Assemblies
Door City’s glass stacker doors are fitted with stainless steel wheels that run smoothly on brass tracks. Both metals are corrosion-resistant and therefore extremely durable.
Because glass doors are heavy, plastic wheels wouldn’t be up to the task of supporting this weight indefinitely and rolling smoothly without deforming or wearing out, especially in hot Australian weather, which may further soften and deform plastics that are subjected to pressure, weight and hot ambient temperatures.
Installation
Door City’s professional installers ensure that your glass stacker doors fit and function optimally – the final step in living that lovely indoor-outdoor lifestyle that’s so alluring. For a free quote and more, visit one of our showrooms or send us an email; we’ll see to the rest.
