Frameless Tumbler Pivot Doors Can be Perfectly Retracting and even Stackable designed for Max Get

Frameless Glass Doors give a virtually uninterrupted view, whether open or closed. They slide, pivot and stack in a similar style to bi folding doors, so they are, generally, fully retractable but, unlike bifolds, frameless glass doors have no hinges keeping the panels joined together.

Depending on the purpose and location, frameless glass slide and pivot doors can be found in single or double glazed alternatives for internal or external applications. Only the double glazed version will meet all building regulations including U-values and weather proofing.

Single glazed frameless glass doors, comprising a toughened tempered glass panel, don’t meet building regulations for use as patio doors and can’t be guaranteed one hundred per cent weatherproof but they’re the best in room dividers for maximum light flow and minimised audio flow. αξονικές πόρτες pivot They’re also suitable for external use, such as for instance balcony enclosures, conservatory doors and on outbuildings.

Double glazed slide-pivot doors are made up of a hermetically sealed unit that, typically, comes with an opaque seal of approximately 20mm around the glass panel. Technically frameless yet not exactly yielding an uninterrupted view.  However, in comparison to even the slimmest of bi-folding door frames (approximately 60mm), the effect is a wonderfully open view, even when fully closed against the elements.

The thermal qualities of frameless double-glazed patio doors is as good, often better, than with framed doors. Timber, in particular, whilst a poor conductor, is vunerable to swelling and shrinkage, resulting in draughty gaps.

The versatility of the slide and pivot frameless glass door system enables installation inside arches, around curves and around corners. Utilising a new type of retractable mechanism, a home pivots open (inwards or out) at one end of the entranceway span, allowing another doors to slide along the utmost effective and bottom rails, one by one, pivot and stack at right-angles to the access area.

Unlike the sliding-folding systems, the independent door system enables each panel to be positioned across the rail, allowing air flow without full access. Alternatively, panels could be slid, pivoted and stacked back onto each side of the aperture for a symmetrical distribution of the panels.

Small apertures may have a set of frameless glass pivot doors fitted but larger openings will benefit by the ability to slide doors away from the key access area. Theoretically, the width which can be accommodated is limitless. As with all sliding door systems, professional installation is recommended.
