\If you’re considering replacing your patio door with a stunning sliding door, firstly you’re making a fantastic choice. But you may find you have several questions about sliding doors that you need answers to before you commit. Sheerwater Glass understands the importance of this process which is why we’ve created this informative guide to buying sliding doors.
What are sliding doors?
A sliding door is a large glass door that opens by sliding either to the right or left rather than opening outwards on a hinge. Typically, the doors will feature a fixed panel that the moving panels will slide in front of. They’re a fantastic choice for homeowners who want to enjoy floods of natural light but are limited on space.
