Call NowIf your sliding doors are single glazed however, they can be a significant source of heat loss, heat gain and noise from outside.
Did you know that you can upgrade your existing timber sliding doors without needing to update your door frames? This can be achieved by double glazing your existing sliding doors which increases their energy efficiency and performance. Double glazing your existing timber sliding doors means that you can still enjoy the views and natural light that they offer while also improving home comfort.
Benefits of Double Glazing Sliding Doors
Sliding doors feature large glass panels that connect indoor areas of the home with outdoor spaces and are a great source of natural light. However the larger glass surface can be one of the biggest sources of energy inefficiency in your home as it can promote heat loss and heat gain.
Retrofit double glazing your sliding doors can provide a variety of benefits including:
-
Maintaining the original aesthetic of your sliding doors - no need to replace your door frames
-
Energy efficiency - double glazed sliding doors help to regulate your home temperature, improve insulation and moderate heat transfer
-
Lower energy bills - reduced fluctuation in home temperature means you don’t need to use heating and cooling systems as often.
-
Double glazed glass is thicker and is more secure and harder to break compared to single paned glass
-
Noise reduction - double glazing your sliding doors helps to reduce outside noise and create a quieter home.
-
Condensation is less likely to form on the glass of your sliding doors if they are double glazed due to a more stable temperature.
-
Sustainability - double glazed sliding doors help you to reduce energy consumption and reduce your home’s carbon footprint
