Is it too cold to think about new doors?

We installed bi folding doors for a client a number of years ago. The client is considering moving to a house that needs complete refurbishment, is pricing the cost and was pleased that our UltraSlim doors are only 10% more than our bi folds.

Client is also thinking of incorporating Frameless Glass Door room dividers because they like open plan living but wants to deaden the noises from the kitchen (such as the dishwasher) when relaxing in the sitting room. Here is the plan:

Frameless glass room divider doors, when closed, will not hamper the light flow and will retain the feeling of spaciousness and, when open, will stack closely to one of the walls so that access between rooms is unimpeded. If, one Christmas, you need to extend a refectory style table into the sitting area, this is still possible!

The 10ft width will require a four door set. This will comprise a standard pivot opening door and three sliding doors. They will look similar to glass door dividers shown on our website. Depending on the floor, it may be possible to inset the lower guide to be virtually flush.

Contact Sunseeker Doors if you would like glass door quotations for your design ideas. We have been manufacturing and installing glass doors in the home counties and south-midlands for almost ten years. Tel 01582 492730.

Season's Greetings & Opening Dates

Please note that manufacturing and installations will resume from 2nd January 2013.

Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

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.

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
