Commercial Installations - Restaurants Choose SunSeeker Frameless Glass Doors

Frameless tempered ("unbreakable") glass doors are ideal for restaurants, providing diners with uninterrupted views and an abundance of natural light. And whenever there's a hot day, there's an added bonus of the doors being fully retractable for maximum fresh air. Alternatively, if the weather is merely warm, doors can be spaced to allow some air flow.

See some of our restaurant installations pictured below.

Exporting British Innovation

Jumby Bay, Long Island, Antigua, is a prestigious area of the Caribbean. SunSeeker Doors has secured an order for three installations of our British manufactured Frameless Glass Doors.

British Innovation - Home Improvement - Retractable Doors

Retractable Doors - what does that mean? 
When Retractable Doors are fully open, the space you can walk through is virtually all space, not door. The simplest form is French Doors, when both doors are open, but this is limited to an opening of no more than about 6ft. The opposite of retractable doors is a standard sliding door set, when one door overlaps another so half the available walk-through space is immediately lost. More recently, bi folding doors have become popular as patio doors, as they can be installed in openings of several feet/metres, combining the benefits of indoor and outdoor living.

British Innovation.
SunSeeker Doors developed Retractable Sliding Doors. These are sliding doors that, rather than overlap, slide to the edge of the opening then pivot 90 degrees. This can be done for all the doors in the opening - or just some of them. These doors are far more elegant than bi-folding doors and have optional extras such as integral blinds, colour choice of edge frames and tinted glass.

SunSeeker Doors also makes retractable Frameless Glass Doors to divide internal areas to retain an open plan feel, even when the doors are closed. these, too, are contemporary and stylish. As virtually pure glass, I can't imagine they will ever be dated - they can certainly look good in period properties as well as modern.

Impressed with Frameless Glass Doors and SunSeeker Doors' service.

We were very pleased to receive this letter...

"We, and others, are much impressed by the frameless double glazed doors made and recently fitted for us by Sunseeker Doors into the frame and roof made by Waveney Windows of Halesworth, Suffolk. The doors are a step up from what has been previously been available and we hope that your Company has continued success in both the industrial and domestic market. 

Please pass on our thanks to Ray, Adrian and John for the part that they played in measuring and fitting the doors and for turning up at the times stated. They did a very good job with no fuss. Thanks also to you and Paul who answered all our queries. 

For our own records please may we have a final account and a note regarding the Guarantee. Also let us know if you would like us to take photographs of the finished product.

The whole project was completed within three months and as planned, and the results show what can be achieved by careful and helpful cooperation between parties.

Glazed Doors for unusual shaped doorways

Our Frameless Glass Doors can fit across arched entrances and in places where there is insufficient room to swing a cat.

This is because, when closed, the glass fits flush to the opening and, when opening,  each door can be very narrow.

Each door opens separately. The first door pivots open to the side, the next door slides across the gap and it, too, pivots open - as many doors as you want until the opening is wide enough for your needs or wishes.

Being virtually all glass, Frameless Glass Doors can be used successfully with period buildings as well as contemporary style living.

We also manufacture bi folding doors with aluminium frames. More information of our innovative door range is available on our website: www.sunseekerdoors.co.uk

Where can I buy Frameless Glass Bi-Folding Doors?

An excellent question. The answer depends on where the doors will be installed. There are folding zig-zag glass-like screens for showers but if it refers to quality frameless glass doors as room dividers or patio / conservatory doors, we believe there is no answer because bi folding doors cannot be frameless.

Why is this? In order to fold, each panel of the glass doors must be affixed to its neighbour. Normally, because of the strength necessary to work with the weight of the doors, this involves hinges which are affixed to frames. The continental 'glass curtains' concept, instead of connecting a number of folding doors, is set up so that each panel moves independently. In general, they were designed as wind-breaks and, whilst they would hold off some rain, they were neither weather-proof nor did they attempt to provide heat insulation.

As an innovative manufacturer of doors, we at SunSeeker Doors spent several months developing a system that would meet strict UK building regulations for safety and thermal insulation values, whilst retaining essential features such as ease of use and, of course, weather resistance. 

We introduced our single glazed tempered glass doors as room dividers and enclosures whilst we tested and perfected the frameless double glazed doors version - it was essential to ensure that the doors fitted snugly together when closed. For best results, we use kite-marked double glazing units for all our patio doors:

• Frameless, 
• UltraSlim and our 
• Slimline Bi Folding Doors.

SunSeeker Doors have been manufacturing and installing our aluminium-framed Bi-folding Doors since 2003 and our Frameless double-glazed systems since 2008.

The Only Frameless Kite-marked Double Glazed Retractable Patio Doors Made in England

Renowned bi folding door company SunSeeker Doors were the first and, we believe, still the Only Frameless Glass Door manufacturers in the UK with BSI approved Kite-marked Double Glazed units in all retractable Patio Doors .

The Kitemark is important as it is your assurance that the double glazed unit has been fully tested to British standards (in fact, it exceeds BSI requirements).

Frameless Glass Doors are different from Bi Folding Doors because they have no frames - of course - which also means that they have no hinges. The sides of the glass doors obscure the view by only 19mm, which is the width of the thermal seal around the double glazed units.

To open the doors, use the traditional pivot-opening master door, followed in turn by each of the other doors, which slide towards the previous door and also pivot open so that as many doors as required are 'stacked' to the side of the aperture.
