There is a growing trend, particularly in the Northern suburbs and the Atlantic Seaboard of the Cape, towards creating a seamless flow from the outdoors to the indoors, or vice versa, as outdoor life is such a part of our lifestyle.
As a result of this, Architects, Designers and Interior Decorators tend to prefer and recommend Glass Stacking Doors, the seamless gateway from indoors to out, particularly when utilised on patios and balconies.
We thought it would be a good idea, therefore, to publish this advice piece on Glass Stacking Doors – A Complete Buyers Guide, to keep our valued customers more ‘in the know’ about why they are so special.
What Are the Benefits of Glass Stacking Doors?
There are many reasons to choose Glass Stacking doors, apart from just seamless indoor/outdoor flow. The first of these would be that you have 2 distinct types to choose from, these being Glass Aluminium Stacking Doors and Frameless Stacking Doors.
Folding Glass Aluminium Stacking Doors
Stacking doors consist of multiple panels that slide and fold to one or both sides, neatly stacking to provide an uninterrupted view. These doors offer a smooth gliding mechanism and, as aforementioned, the ability to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces.
They are ideal for creating inviting entertainment areas or merging living spaces with patios and balconies, and meticulously designed for secure entrances with a sleek, sophisticated appearance.
The look is stunning, and their Ingenious concertina design allows for effortless folding and space-saving functionality. Stacking Aluminium Doors are a popular choice in the Cape residential market, redefining the boundaries of your home with an open, spacious feel.
Frameless Glass Stacking Doors
Our frameless stacking doors feature a turn-and-stack system with seamless glass, offering even clearer, less obstructed panoramic views. Ideal for balconies, terraces, and patios, this versatile design allows each panel to slide independently and stack on one or both sides.
The system can open inward or outward, handle 90° corners, and navigate curved sections. Built for reliability, these systems are regularly updated to ensure top performance in any setting.
