The aluminum alloy sliding door has the characteristics of environmental protection, durability, corrosion resistance and long service life because of its special material. If the bridge is broken, the aluminum material has the function of sound insulation, heat insulation and energy saving. Sliding door is also called sliding door, or moving door. According to the installation mode, it can be divided into lifting rail sliding door and ground rail sliding door; Due to different structures, it is divided into broken bridge and non broken bridge sliding door; According to the weight of the door, it can be divided into light and heavy sliding doors.
After selecting the door type, you can also customize single, double or even more sliding doors according to your preferences and site size.
1) Lifting rail sliding door and ground rail sliding door
① Lifting rail sliding door: refers to the door whose track of the moving door is installed above the door. No track is laid on the ground. It is equivalent to that the door is suspended.
There are many advantages. Because there is no need to lay the ground track, the ground inside and outside the door is not split, which can perfectly integrate the two environments and make the space more coherent.
Convenient cleaning is another advantage. The ground has no concave and convex parts and will not hide dirt. And I won’t be bumped when I walk.
Of course, there are many shortcomings. Because the load-bearing of the hanging door is all on the track, the requirements for the wall are relatively high, and the installation technology is not small. If it is a light wall, the door may sink under long-term load, and the track may be deformed due to poor quality.
The maintenance cost and cost are higher than the ground rail sliding door, which is determined by the door structure.
The air tightness of the lifting rail moving door is poor because there is a certain distance between the ground and the bottom of the sliding door. The specific places suitable for installing such doors are described below.
② Ground rail sliding door: the track is laid on the ground and supported by the lower pulley. Because there is a guide rail above the door and a ground rail below the door, the stability of the ground rail sliding door is stronger than that of the hanging rail door.
There are two ways to lay the ground rail. Built in and raised. The embedded installation is troublesome and costly, but it is safe and will not be trampled. Convex type is cheap and easy to install, but easy to knock.
There are many advantages in choosing the ground rail moving door. First, the sealing performance is better than the lifting rail. Because there is a barrier between the upper and lower tracks. It can also be used with the door frame, which has good air tightness and sound insulation effect.
The service life is longer than that of the rail door. The supporting force of the movable sliding door is from bottom to top and supported by the ground. There is a guide rail traction above, so the stability and life are greatly extended.
High installation freedom. Unlike the hanging rail door, which requires high wall quality, the ground rail door can be installed as long as there is a ground.
There are advantages and disadvantages. Because there are tracks on the ground, it is easy to hide dirt, not easy to clean, and it is easy to bump when walking. Even if the track embedded in the ground is used, the difficult problem of cleaning cannot be avoided.
2) Non broken bridge sliding door and broken bridge sliding door: Broken Bridge refers to that part of the internal structure of aluminum alloy door is replaced by special thermal insulation material to achieve the effect of blocking temperature transmission.
In the structure of the upgraded broken bridge aluminum sliding door, there are not only thermal insulation materials, but also sound insulation cotton, so that the broken bridge aluminum sliding door has better performance of sound insulation, sealing and heat preservation, waterproof and theft prevention.
The sliding door without broken bridge is generally a light sliding door with thin leaf thickness and simple internal structure, which only has a simple space closing function.
The broken bridge aluminum material can be customized for light and heavy sliding doors according to different application scenarios.
Among them, the heavy-duty sliding door adopts hollow glass for sound insulation, and the aluminum material is thicker and more stable. It looks heavy and steady.
3) Extremely narrow sliding door: the frame of extremely narrow sliding door is generally between 15mm and 30mm. The narrower the frame, the more difficult the technology is and the more expensive the price is. But correspondingly, it will give full play to its simplicity and truly achieve a broad vision
However, if you have a good appearance, you have to sacrifice some performance. For example, the sound insulation and wind pressure resistance of the extremely narrow sliding door are general.
02 advantages of aluminum alloy sliding door
Some of the advantages of sliding doors are irreplaceable by aluminum alloy swing doors. For the introduction of swing doors, please refer to the introduction of swing doors. What is the broken bridge aluminum swing door and the installation precautions are described in detail.
The advantages of aluminum alloy moving door are as follows.
Good performance. The characteristics of aluminum alloy material determine that it is light in weight and high in strength. The compressive strength and toughness of the door are incomparable to that of stainless steel. Moreover, the aluminum alloy has strong corrosion resistance, the surface is not easy to fade and easy to maintain.
Various forms and high degree of customization. According to different home spaces ( living room, kitchen, etc.) and different decoration styles, a variety of color and shape matching schemes can be customized, so that users have more choices.
The glass of doors and windows can also be customized with wire drawing, pattern, grid and other styles to improve the home style.
Good sealing performance. Although the airtightness is not as good as that of the swing door, when the sliding door is made of broken bridge aluminum, the aluminum frame uses a multi cavity design and sound insulation materials, and is matched with adhesive strips and sound insulation glass. It also has good sound insulation effect.
No space is occupied. The aluminum alloy sliding door is generally opened by moving left and right, occupying less space, flexible to use, convenient to install screen windows, and convenient to clean.
Select according to space. Two aspects should be considered. One is the continuity and aesthetic feeling of the space. For example, the simple design of the extremely narrow sliding door brings a sense of light penetration and a large field of vision that other door types cannot achieve. Another is the size of the area. For places with small space, the advantages of sliding doors are obvious.
In addition, when installing sliding doors on balconies, factors such as water resistance, sound insulation effect and wind pressure resistance should be mainly considered. Therefore, sliding doors or heavy sliding doors of broken bridge aluminum profiles will be more suitable.
Sliding doors are more affordable than swing doors, and can be purchased according to demand.
