Preparing the Garden for Summer - with New Frameless Glass Doors

frameless slide and turn mirror style glass doors

Brand New Frameless Glass Doors just installed next to the pool in a Hertfordshire home. Comprising four tempered glass doors with a special film coating the glass to give a mirror effect from the outside.

From inside, the view through the glass doors is virtually uninterrupted whether all doors are closed or some of them are open. At one end of the opening, one door opens normally; the other three doors can slide along the top and lower guides to be positioned anywhere across the width.

To fully open all the doors and seemlessly maximise the accessible space between inside and outside, slide each door to the end of the guides and open it outwards (or inwards, depending on your installation).

Frameless Glass Doors can often be measured, manufactured and installed in your home in two or three weeks. Get a patio door quote now and prepare for summer in your garden.

View Paradise through our Frameless Glass Doors

Barely visible, Frameless Glass Doors in tempered glass from SunSeeker Doors are perfect for this Caribbean retreat.

Fully open, fully closed or somewhere in between, views are virtually uninterrupted.

More usually, we install our Frameless Glass Doors in England and the accessible parts of Wales where the tempered glass doors are suitable for either internal doors or external doors where double-glazing is not a requirement, such as on some conservatories or out-buildings.

However, we also manufacture double-glazed frameless doors and UltraSlim doors, our ultra-slim-aluminium-framed slide-and -turn retractable door system, available in plain glass, tinted glass or with classic bars. Take a look at our photo-galleries:
 - tempered glass doors
 - frameless double-glazed
 - UltraSlim doors
then compare door costs of each style for your home.

Chic, Elegant Doors for Modern Apartment living

Clean lines, plain canvasses, room to play with light - these are essential elements of elegant, de-cluttered life-styles.

Our Frameless Glass doors open to a terrace that has been enclosed with glass, for an 'outdoors' feel without the inconvenience of wind and rain.

The main advantage is the use of an additional room, all year round - and our retractable glass doors enhance this feeling of spaciousness.

When the glass doors are fully open, the three rooms are as one - great light flow and 'traffic' flow. This concept can be applied to ground floor homes, too, around a patio.

Start with a no-obligation quotation for Frameless Glass Doors or UltraSlim patio doors with a choice of frame colours.

Frameless Glass and UltraSlim Doors from SunSeeker Doors

When SunSeeker Doors first developed double glazed patio doors without side frames, the decision was taken to continue to use British Kite-marked glass and, three years on, SunSeeker is still the only British manufacturer to offer kite-marked double-glazed Frameless Glass Doors.

The concept was further developed for UltraSlim Doors, similar to Frameless but with a very slim 19mm aluminium frame around the double glazing unit's gasket seal - available in any of the industry's RAL colours. UltraSlim has proved to be extremely popular and has become the best selling patio door system.

Both Frameless and UltraSlim work in the same way, which is different from bi folding doors. There are no hinges to link the doors, allowing the side frames to be much less obtrusive than bifolds, and each door opens individually. These doors are known as slide and pivot, slide and turn, slide and swivel, slide and swing doors or retractable sliding doors.

Unlike traditional sliding doors, RETRACTABLE sliding doors also pivot to enable access through almost the whole of the width of the installation, without obstruction.

Innovative idea for Frameless Glass Doors


Why would someone extend their balcony area inwards? There are many benefits.

The external balcony doors may not be conducive to maximum light flow or may obscure a wonderful view - leaving these open and viewing through Frameless Glass Doors overcomes these irritations, especially on cooler days.

A stiff breeze could bring leaves, sand or other debris into the home. Rather than choose between suffering dirt and dust or closing the outer doors, Frameless Glass Doors enables a worry-free view, whether seated inside or outside.

In cooler seasons, when you want to take advantage of any sun to warm the room, closed Frameless Glass Doors will help to do this. When it's hot, the doors may be opened fully, almost as if they had never been installed.

It's amazing how this product has enhanced the life-styles of imaginative home-owners. Whether you live in an apartment in Bournemouth or Hampstead, a period home in the Oxfordshire countryside or other areas of England, you may have your own innovative design ideas.

Note that these are single glazed tempered glass doors and therefore not suitable as patio doors. We also supply and install SunSeeker Frameless Double Glazed, UltraSlim and Slimline bi folding doors.

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.
