What is a sliding glass door made of?

1. sliding door panel:
The sliding door panel is the central element of a sliding glass door. It is made of toughened safety glass, which is available in different versions. Clear or frosted versions offer different degrees of transparency. In addition, the door leaf can be provided with different decors, patterns or even colors. This can influence both privacy and the overall aesthetic appearance of the interior.


2. sliding door track:
The track holds the construction and allows the glass door to move. This track can be integrated in various ways: Either minimalistically concealed or visible as a decorative element. It is usually made of aluminum or stainless steel to ensure a solid load-bearing capacity. The track with integrated carriages enables the sliding door leaf to glide smoothly and contributes to the overall functionality of the structure.


3. sliding door handle:
Whether a handle strip or discreet handle shell: the door handle allows the sliding door to be opened and closed effortlessly. This detail contributes to the overall appearance of the glass door and can also influence the overall look of the room.

Glass sliding doors are good?

Yes, because they have numerous advantages. Sliding glass doors ...

  • let daylight into every room.
  • do not have a swing area and therefore save space
  • are a stylish and elegant way of separating or connecting rooms
  • are ideal for barrier-free living.
  • do not do not close in draughts - for relaxed ventilation
  • allow larger dimensions than hinged doors
  • can disappear behind furniture
  • create new practical spaces - from the study to the walk-in closet

Stylish design - Perfect technology

Unmistakable design meets technology of the highest quality. Open Glass sliding door systems exude a touch of loft character and, especially as double-leaf variants, look like spacious portals. Closed models, on the other hand, are Clear-cut and discreet. The mechanism is concealed inside. They are available in Stainless steel or Aluminium and with a wide Width of variants.

The new Black

We have equipped the PLANEO 120 sliding door fitting with additional room solution options. In the range are also available skylights, side elements and much more. In addition, PLANEO 120 is also available in "Graphite black" finish. All variants are available with Soft-Close. This means that the Glass sliding door does not hit, but is gently retracted into the locking position: little things that simply offer more living comfort. All models can also be realized room-high.

Space-saving miracle

Cleverly thought-out solutions allow rooms to be adapted to individual living requirements without the need for additional walls. Apartments can be visually enlarged by means of long sight lines. The best way to do this is with glass sliding doors, because they open up rooms - unlike opaque wooden sliding doors, for example. Glass sliding doors, for example, open up a view of the living area from the hallway. And the small side room facing the backyard benefits from daylight from the sunny south side.

For example, consider the possibility of connecting the dining room with the living room or kitchen by replacing the old Wooden doors with light-filled Glass sliding doors. Even in old apartments, you can go for an open floor plan and let the daylight from the sunny south side flow into neighboring rooms.

Sliding door complete set: tailored to your needs

At GRIFFWERK, you can easily put together your individual complete sliding door set with the help of our experts.

If you have particularly limited space available, a sliding glass door is the perfect choice as, unlike hinged doors, it does not need to swing into the room. The sliding glass door runs along the wall to save space. Even complicated installation situations can be easily mastered with sliding glass doors, because at GRIFFWERK you can find almost any special dimensions you require online.

Glass sliding door set: But please room high!

If you can, you can afford room height; the higher, the better. It's nice when the doors also use the entire height. Full-height all-glass doors make the most impressive impression. All our models are therefore available in custom sizes. Your specialist dealer will advise you on the right dimensions and fittings. They will also know which door weights and hinges are suitable for your selection, as large doors weigh more - and should not sag later.

At GRIFFWERK, the matching adapters are available with the hinged door fittings - simply research online on our website, find a dealer, done.

More harmony with skylights

Those who do not want continuous door heights, choose a solution with skylights. Skylights are transparent areas above the door, usually divided by a cross frame. The standard dimensions are thereby visually opened to the top. This is a trick to include the design reference to other doors with normal height.

Optimize floor plans

Glass doors open up rooms, allow wide views and make living areas look brighter and larger. They are therefore ideal for changing floor plans during renovations, for example. In new buildings, on the other hand, floor plans that connect different functional areas - such as the entrance and living area or kitchen and dining room - are gaining ground. Interior doors made of glass then create room boundaries that act as a vestibule or provide privacy. White, Satin frosted glass or frosted glass provide maximum brightness and a spacious living feeling.

The advantages of sliding glass doors

Design your rooms more efficiently and create a bright living space. Here are some tips on how to optimize a floor plan with sliding glass doors:

  • Improved lighting conditions in all rooms: With glass doors, daylight from surrounding windows also enters adjacent rooms.
  • Connecting indoor and outdoor areas: A sliding door offers the ideal opportunity to connect the interior with the exterior. Ideally, you should place them opposite terraces, balconies or the garden to create a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors.
  • Increase the appearance of space: Sliding glass doors can visually enlarge the space by creating a transparent barrier between different areas. This is particularly useful in small apartments.
  • Separate rooms: Use sliding glass doors to discreetly separate areas in an open floor plan without compromising the visual connection.
  • Room division: Sliding glass doors can be used to divide a large room into smaller, more functional areas. This can be helpful in homes, offices or even commercial establishments such as restaurants.
  • Accentuation: A sliding door can serve as a design element. Choose frames, handles and embellishments that match the style of the room.
  • Optimize the furniture layout: Plan the layout of the room with the sliding door movement in mind. Make sure that the placement of the furniture does not hinder the movement of the door.
  • Privacy: Consider how much privacy you want in certain areas. Options such as tinted glass, frosted glass or opaque film, can ensure privacy without compromising light transmission.
  • Maintenance and care: Remember that glass surfaces can show fingerprints and dirt. Keep sliding glass doors clean to maintain their transparency and attractiveness.
  • Safety: Pay attention to the safety of sliding glass doors, especially if they are large. Go for toughened safety glass and make sure that the sliding mechanisms work properly.

Sliding glass door: perfect for the home office

Even in smaller apartments, you can transform previously unused adjoining rooms into attractive, light-flooded workrooms with the help of glass room doors. With a glass sliding door, you can discreetly separate your home office from the rest of the living area. You decide how much privacy and sound protection you need:

  • Opaque models such as Piano White offer maximum privacy.
  • Translucent glass also provides a high level of privacy, but allows light to pass through.
  • If you like a spacious loft character, opt for more transparency and double-leaf doors.

Wood room doors can be easily replaced with a Glass door. Sliding doors can even be installed over existing frames. By default, your Glass sliding door is made of toughened safety glass (tempered safety glass). On request, it can also be made with laminated safety glass (Laminated glass glass).
