Sliding glass doors for interior

Sliding glass doors are a modern and elegant solution for partitioning spaces within homes and offices. Thanks to their ability to combine functionality and design, these doors are becoming increasingly popular among people who are looking for a sophisticated and practical furniture option. In this article, we will explore the distinctive features of sliding glass doors, their advantages, including their aesthetic ones, and the combination possibilities.

Sliding glass doors are designed to slide along a track, allowing the door to completely disappeared within the wall when open. This feature not only maximises the available space, but also provides a clean, minimalist look to the room.

 

The glass used for these doors is usually tempered, ensuring strength and safety. Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than normal glass and, in the event of breakage, shatters into small, non-cutting pieces, reducing the risk of injury.

 

The sliding mechanism is another key element. It must be quiet, smooth and durable. High-quality doors are equipped with advanced sliding systems, often with dampers that slow the door down in the last few centimeters of its travel, preventing rough impacts. Sliding glass doors offer a wide range of customisation options; you can choose from clear, opaque, frosted or patterned glass.

 

Ermetika provides specific accessories in its catalogue for fitting glass doors to its pocket door systems: the Glass Kit for flush sliding doors such as the Absolute Evo, and the Sliding Kit for classic sliding doors with jambs and architraves such as the Evolution model. Both accessories can be associated with the Easy-Stop for glass doors, i.e. a slowdown system for closing the door, whether single or double. 

Space optimisation: one of the main reasons for choosing a retractable sliding glass door is space optimisation. Traditionally, hinged doors require a free space for opening and closing, whereas sliding doors completely free up this area, allowing for a more flexible arrangement of furniture.

 

Brightness and visual openness: glass doors allow natural light to flow freely between rooms, creating a feeling of spaciousness and openness. This is particularly useful in flats or offices where natural light is limited. In addition, the use of glass allows for a visual connection between different areas, while offering the possibility of physically separating them.

 

Modern and elegant aesthetics: from an aesthetic point of view, glass sliding doors add a touch of modernity and sophistication. They are ideal for those who desire a clean, contemporary ambience. The transparency of the glass gives a light and airy appearance, while the customisation options allow the door to be adapted to the specific style of the interior.

 

Easy maintenance: glass is an easy material to clean and maintain. Glass doors only require regular cleaning with specific products, thus keeping them looking new and shiny. In addition, glass is not subject to deformation or deterioration as can happen with other materials.

 

Versatility of use: these doors are extremely versatile and can be used in various contexts: from private homes to offices, from conference rooms to commercial spaces. Their ability to combine aesthetics and functionality makes them suitable for a wide range of applications.

 

Sliding glass doors fit perfectly into modern, minimalist environments. Transparent or frosted glass, combined with Ermetika frames, creates an effect of lightness and visual continuity, ideal for lofts, open spaces and modern offices.

 

 

For an industrial-style environment, glass doors with black or anthracite grey metal profiles are an excellent choice. This combination enhances architectural features such as exposed brick, plaster and exposed pipes, adding a sophisticated and contemporary touch.

 

 

In a minimalist context, sliding glass doors with clean and simple lines, without too many details, blend in perfectly with the minimalist décor. The glass can be completely transparent or opaque to ensure privacy, while maintaining an uncluttered appearance.

 

 

In eclectic spaces, where the combination of different styles takes centre stage, sliding glass doors with decorative or coloured elements can become a focal point, combining functionality and design in a harmonious manner.

Investing in these sliding glass doors means betting on a product that combines contemporary design and practicality, ensuring both aesthetic and functional added value. Ermetika is able to guarantee a stable and long-lasting product and offers the possibility of adapting it to the glass door you want.
