Correct installation of a sliding door is essential for durability, insulation, safety, and ease of use. The quality of the assembly largely determines the performance and lifespan of the sliding door. Both in new construction and in renovation, the installation should be carried out by experienced professionals.

Preparation

Measuring and preparation of the opening

• The first step is an accurate measurement of the existing opening or the planned recess in the facade.
• Width, height, squareness, and the supporting structure are taken into account.
• In case of renovation, it is assessed whether old frames and facades need to be removed and whether the facade needs to be adjusted.

Planning

Based on the measurements, a schedule will be drawn up for delivery and installation. The sliding door will be custom-produced in the factory.

Removal of existing frames (during renovation)

• Old frames or doors will be carefully removed.
• If necessary, the facade and floor will be reinforced and prepared for the new construction.

Installation of the sliding door

Step 1: Placement and leveling

The frame is placed in the opening, leveled exactly horizontally and perpendicularly, and temporarily fixed.

Step 2: Anchoring

The frame is securely anchored to the supporting structure using special fasteners.

Step 3: Installation of glass and sliding elements

The sliding elements are placed in the system and the insulating glass is carefully installed.

Step 4: Sealing and insulating

All connections between the sliding door and the facade are carefully sealed to prevent drafts and moisture. The connections are insulated to limit heat loss.

Step 5: Adjusting and testing

The sliding system and the hardware are adjusted. The door is tested for smoothness, closing, and security.

Finishing

• The interior and exterior will be neatly finished with sealant joints and finishing strips.
• Any repair work on the floor, facade, or wall will be carried out.

Handover

Upon completion, the operation of the sliding door will be checked together with the client. Instructions on operation and maintenance will be given.

Duration of installation

• For new construction: often in one day.
• For renovation: usually one to two days, depending on the situation and the scope of the work.

Importance of Craftsmanship

A professionally installed sliding door ensures:

• Optimal insulation and airtightness
• Secure fastening
• Smooth sliding and closing
• Long lifespan

Conclusion

Professional installation is essential for the optimal functioning of a sliding door. Accurate preparation, skilled assembly, and careful finishing guarantee a long lifespan, good insulation, and safe use.

The dimensions of a sliding door determine its appearance, price, ease of use, and structural possibilities. A sliding door can be supplied in standard sizes as well as completely custom-made. Dimensions are always tailored to the situation and the user's wishes.

Standard widths and heights

Although many sliding doors are produced to measure, there are some dimensions that occur frequently:

• Width 2.5 to 3 meters
  Often executed as a two-part sliding door (one fixed and one sliding part).
• Width 3.5 to 4 meters
  Suitable for two-part or three-part sliding doors.
• Width 4.5 to 5 meters
  Widely used in three- or four-part sliding doors with wide glass sections.
• Width greater than 5 meters
  Custom-made, where the facade partly consists of sliding and partly of fixed panels.

The standard height of sliding doors is usually between 2.20 and 2.50 meters. Taller doors are possible, but often require reinforced profiles and a customized construction.

Custom Solutions

For new construction and renovation, custom solutions are often chosen. This has the following advantages:

• Full utilization of the available facade opening.
• Adaptation to specific architecture and style.
• Possibility to realize special proportions and large glass areas.

Influence of dimensions on price

• Greater width and height lead to more material, heavier profiles, and larger glass surfaces. This increases material costs.
• The weight of the sliding elements increases with larger dimensions. This may require a more robust (and more expensive) sliding system, such as a lift-and-slide system.
• For very large sliding doors, installation becomes more complex, which also affects labor costs.

Practical considerations when choosing dimensions

1. Ease of use: The larger the sliding door, the more attention is needed for a smooth sliding mechanism.
2. Stability: Large openings require a strong supporting structure.
3. Light and view: Larger doors allow more light and create a more spacious feeling in the home.
4. Ventilation: With wide sliding doors, it is advisable to consider the number of sliding sections for adequate ventilation options.
