Types of Patio Doors.

These are bi folding patio doors. Also called folding-sliding doors, they are hinged together, concertina style. Basically, doors either pivot - as in French Doors - or they can slide ...
or both.

Fixed panel sliding doors have to remain within the top and bottom guides, restricting the access through the aperture, but SunSeeker Doors' Frameless Glass Doors slide along the guides then each can pivot to make the entire aperture accessible.

Take a look at our patio doors, glass curtains and room dividers on the SunSeeker Doors website.

Problems that aren't really there with Frameless glass doors.

A potential customer was delighted that we could help her with a perceived problem.

As can be seen in the photograph, Frameless glass doors do not have to be fitted within the aperture of an opening, therefore if there is an arch or an inconsistent height from left to right, your terrace can still be enclosed.

This applies equally to the opening between house and orangery or sun room - or for room dividers that can be guided from the ceiling.

We have installed a number of single glazed frameless glass curtains this way. It may not always be possible with double-glazed frameless patio doors but why not call SunSeeker's experts and discuss?

SunSeeker opens its Doors to Trade supply. Launch of new website www.SunSeekerTradeBifolds.co.uk

Press Release: 14 January 2011
Luton, Bedfordshire: SunSeeker Doors, renowned for its Bi Folding Doors System since 2003, has today launched a new service to supply made-to-measure bi folds direct to builders who want to install the doors to their own customers.

SunSeeker Doors had previously resisted requests to provide door sets only, in case poor installation by third parties might damage the reputation that SunSeeker has spent years building. However, the bi folding doors have been engineered to a point where installation is straightforward and the British-made aluminium folding-sliding door sets have proven to be robust.

Having remained buoyant throughout the recession with its keen pricing and value-for-money quality, the company has recently reviewed its strategy for going forward. Manufacturing can handle additional capacity, resulting in the launch of SunSeeker Trade Bifolds.

Additionally, a brand new innovative Frame-less 'glass curtain' door system was introduced in 2009, enabling a clearly uninterrupted view between rooms or a conservatory. This was followed, a year ago, by the launch of a double-glazed version marketed simply as Frameless Glass Doors, developed and manufactured in the U.K..

Frameless Glass Doors look similar to bi folding doors but with more glass and less of everything else, making them a far more attractive addition to the home. Building regulations for thermal insulation properties mean that the double glazing is sealed by a narrow but visible gasket. Comparing the view through Frameless Glass Doors with the view through SunSeeker aluminium framed bifolds and typical pvc frames, the area of interrupted view at the side edge of each door is 19mm, 60mm and typically 100mm, respectively.

Working with Design and Build Architects

At SunSeeker Doors, we have often worked with architects and builders to install bifolding doors in new or extended homes but since the launch of of our fairly unique Frameless double-glazed doors, there has been a greater interest from the design and build sector.

In the UK, if clients want to make the most of a spectacular view from their homes, the considerations are:

• best uninterrupted view,
• best view through the glass,
• building regulations compliance.

The best uninterrupted view is to have nothing between yourself and the view, not even glass. This can be achieved by installing retractable doors and opening them fully, such as slimline bifolding doors, glass curtains or double-glazed frameless glass doors. SunSeeker Doors manufactures and installs all these types of doors.

The best view through the glass can be achieved with fixed frameless glass panels, sliding frameless glass patio doors or retractable glass curtains made from single-glazed tempered glass but none of these would meet building regulations approval if installed between the main house and the outside. Double-glazing is necessary to reduce heat loss from homes, therefore a narrow opaque edge is unavoidable around each glass panel. With this in mind, the best available options for the best view through glass doors are double-glazed frameless glass doors or sliding patio doors.

Traditional sliding patio doors that run left and right along tracks do not retract to improve the view or access area. Sunseeker Doors' frameless glass doors have been developed to slide then pivot ninety degrees to stack neatly at the side of the opening for maximum access, light source and viewing aperture.
