Energy Saving Sliding and Stacker Doors

Sliding and Stacker double glazed doors are attractive options that make efficient use of available space when open, allow you to enjoy a virtually unhindered view of the outdoors, and take advantage of natural light. When you opt for uPVC Sliding or uPVC Stacker doors, you also reap benefits such as energy efficiency, noise reduction, and incredible durability.

Sliding double glazed doors, as the name implies, slide open using a double, triple or quadruple latching mechanism. The sliding panel slides on rollers acting along the lower track while an upper track provides additional support for the sliding panel so that it remains vertical and correctly aligned. In a typical single Sliding door there are two panels, one panel is fixed while the other panel can slide open either to the LHS or RHS. In a typical double Sliding door there are four panels, the end panels are fixed while the panels in the middle can slide one to the LHS and one to the RHS.

A Stacker double glazed door can accommodate three or six panels that are located on a frame with three tracks. For a three panel Stacker door, one panel is located on the outer track and is fixed while the other two panels can slide open to the LHS or RHS on the other two tracks. For a six panel Stacker door, two end panels are located on the outer track and are fixed while the other four panels can slide open on the other two tracks with two panels sliding to the LHS and the other two panels sliding to the RHS. The usage of a smart and practical interlocking mechanism allows panels to engage in sequence for pulling the panels closed while providing a proper seal to maximise energy efficiency. The term ‘stacker’ comes from the fact that the panels group one behind the other as they open making the uPVC Stacker doors the ideal solution for larger unrestricted openings.

Both, uPVC Sliding and uPVC Stacker doors can provide wide openings for entering and exiting while they are minimally invasive and very practical when they are used. When you have uPVC Sliding or Stacker double glazed doors, you can enjoy very good noise insulation, increased thermal insulation, reduced energy requirements, and plenty of natural sunlight flooding your living space. In addition, the usage of the uPVC door frames means your doors are easy to maintain and are durable enough to last a long time while still looking fantastic.
