Everyone knows that Frameless Glass Pivot Doors are fabulous to look at and one of the ‘go-to’ products chosen by Architects, Builders and Interior Designers whenever possible.
They do, however, have a specific function and many benefits, which we will cover here – and because it is better that they are professionally installed, we will also tell you why Firstfit is rated as the best Aluminium and Glass Specialist in the Cape.
Why choose Frameless Glass Pivot doors?
There are functional reasons and some great benefits to choosing Frameless Glass Doors, particularly the pivot type. Let’s examine some of these…
Functionality meets design – These doors combine modern design with seamless functionality. Their sleek, frameless look is crafted for elegance, offering uninterrupted views and natural light that enhance the openness and style of any space.
Pivotal takes great weight – Because hinges are not attached to the walls on pivot doors but anchored to the floor by a strong metal pin, they can support large, thick, heavy doors easily.
Strong and smooth – Their beauty belies their great strength. Our Frameless Glass Pivot doors are built from only the highest-quality materials, which means they ensure durability and, most importantly, sleek, smooth operation.
Versatile and unique – They can be customised to suit your specific requirements. For example, you can choose from clear, frosted, or tinted glass options and from various hardware finishes to match your decor.
Easy to clean – Because there are no sliding rails as in the use of sliding doors, and no hinges against the walls, pivot doors are generally easier to clean and maintain.
Where do we commonly use Frameless Glass Pivot Doors?
Frameless Glass Pivot Doors are great in tight spaces because the pivot point is away from the wall making the area radius smaller. They can swing both inward and outward, too, and open up to make a wider entryway than normal hinged doors.
Ideally, therefore, they are used in entryways, patios, bathrooms, or Architectural transitional spaces. However you use them, Frameless Glass Pivot Doors bring a touch of sophistication and luxury to every environment.
