Sunplan Frameless – Frameless Glass Systems
The concept behind this type of glass door is that they are completely frameless. Therefore, allowing for an amazingly clear view even when closed. They do not use the conventional method to bi-folding or French doors. Instead the doors glide across an aluminum rail one by one to either side of the opening then one by one they pivot and stack to the side. This then allows for a nearly 100% opening which is the same attribute as bi-folds but without the frames.
For something amazing as this, you would expect frameless glass doors to have a premium price tag but that is not the case. They are mainly of two forms, single glazed frameless glass door and double glazed system. The single glazed which is mainly used as a glass partition and it is mainly made for indoor use because it is not as strong as the double glazed type and cannot withstand environmental harshness as the double-glazed type. On the other hand the double-glazed frameless glass door system is used for external projects because of it strength. It is usually used as patio door where it provides an amazing view while also withstanding strong and harsh environmental impact. The single glazed system is however slightly lesser in price compared to the double glazed system.
Usually asked is how strong is a glass that makes it withstand environmental pressure. Well the double glazed frameless glass door is weather proof by using a compression lock on the side of the system which compresses each panel of glass tight together. In between the glass panels there is a clear plastic spacer which makes the gaps weather proof when the unit is compressed together. So there you have it the frameless glass door, having the capability of being fully retractable as well as totally frameless.
