Originally launched as 'glass curtains', single glazed door panels that did not conform to building regulations for patio door use in domestic dwellings, frameless glass doors were - and are - ideal for commercial premises such as restaurant frontages and enclosures. They also offer the ultimate in style as room dividers.
The thought of a double-glazed, 100 per cent weather-proof frameless glass patio door drove us to develop our latest product, frameless double glazed doors, which we began installing in Spring 2010.
For two glass panels to maintain high insulation properties, the cavity between them must remain impermeable which means that there has to be a seal or gasket all round. Although there are no frames at the side of the doors, there is a narrow, visible gasket. When compared with the frames on bi folding doors, this blip on the landscape is negligible.
Installations of frameless glass patio doors are now just about in the hundreds in the UK and we have some photographs in our web site galleries:
Some companies are now beginning to import similar products but buying British will not only ensure faster installation of this made-to-measure home improvement item, you will be helping British business to re-build the economy.

Frameless glass door looks elegant in a house. I've never seen a lot of it in the city. I wonder if this door can be advisable for security.
ReplyDeleteDepending on where the doors are sited, they are either of tempered, virtually unbreakable glass or double glazed; when closed, there are no gaps to force open between the doors and the lock prevents the handle from being used.
