FRAMELESS GLASS

DOOR
INTRODUCTION

• Frameless glass doors are made by creating a thick glass plate, typically between 1/2″ and
3/4″ thick, depending on the size, which is usually hung into a frameless glass frame (a
series of glass panels to the sides and above the doors). It is not unusual to see a large
beam above the doors supporting the top pivots.
Working of frameless door

• On a frameless shower enclosure when the door is open there is nothing around the
edges, no metal, only the hinges where the door meets the panel. This look allows for a
more open and modern feel to your bathroom and on a practical level eliminates some of
the gunk that can build up between the glass and metal.
ADVANTAGES

• More Light, Open Design. Often, the light in home bathrooms is not that great. ...
• Ample Space. ...
• Increased Functionality. ...
• View Your Tile. ...
• Customized Sizes. ...
• Easier to Clean. ...
• Less Mold Buildup.
DISADVANTAGES

• Cost

The glass used for frameless shower doors is much thicker and heavier than that of standard shower doors. It has to be in order for the glass panels to stay in place
without the benefit of a frame to support them. They also require stronger, sturdier hardware. As a result, frameless shower doors are several hundred dollars more
expensive than traditional shower doors.
• More Chances for Leaks
Because frameless shower doors lack the rubber and seals that traditional shower doors incorporate to prevent leaks, there’s a bigger chance that water could leak
out onto your bathroom floor, especially if the glass isn’t perfectly cut to size. The best way to prevent leaks is to find an experienced, reliable company that turns
out precision cuts and can also help design your shower in a way that minimizes the opportunity for leakage to occur. This usually means placing the showerhead in
a strategic location that will keep water away from the door and any other gaps.
• Frameless Shower Doors Can Shatter

While rare, frameless shower doors have been known to shatter. Such breakage is usually the result of damaged glass, defects in the glass, improper installation, or
severe or abrupt changes in temperature or humidity. While the glass is tempered to prevent jagged shards, it can still cut you. To help prevent this from happening,
check the hardware and fasteners regularly to make sure everything is secure, examine the glass periodically for cracks or chips, and never slam the door or use it to
help yourself in or out of the shower.
FRAMELESS GLASS
WINDOW
INTRODUCTION

• A frameless window is a seamless glazing option which has no obvious frame around the perimeter. As a new design
phenomenon, frameless glass panels are used for balconies, shower screens, glass doors and bespoke conservatory windows.

• Benefits of frameless windows

The supreme stylistic feature it can create.

Frameless windows let the optimum amount of light into a room, and provide a chic contemporary element to a building.
Simple and super-fast to install so home owners can enjoy minimum disruption and lower install fees.
DISADVANTAGES

• 1. Cost:
One of the most common concerns that homeowners have about frameless glass porch enclosure is the upfront expense. As frameless
porch enclosure require the use of much thicker, sturdier glass, they are generally 3 times more expensive than traditional framed
porch enclosures.
 
• 2. Potential for Leaks and Mosquitoes:
Without any frames, seals or insulating materials to keep water or snow from pouring in, frameless porch enclosures rely heavily on
precision and installation for the prevention of water leaks. Also there is no protection from getting bees, flies or mosquitoes inside.
 
• 3. Risk of Shattering:

There are a few concerns that may cause frameless glass doors to shatter. Frameless glass doors hardware is not designed to withstand
wind and extreme weather conditions as a cold, heat or pollutions.
• 4. Lack of ventilation:
One problem that comes with sunny weather, though, is summer heat. Sitting behind those big glasses in your porch
enclosure is comfortable until the solar gain makes the room unbearably hot. That heat can even invade your house
and force your air-conditioning to run more than usual. Frameless glass porch enclosure has no options to add
openable windows to get a fresh air inside of your enclosure. Extreme hit inside can possibly damage your entrance
door or stuff that you keep inside.
 
• 5. Limited warranty:

The warranty for frameless glass enclosure usually does not exceed 5 years.
 
• 6. Not suitable for every house:
Originally designed for shower cabins, frameless glass enclosures require perfect leveled surfaces of existing porch
walls, floor and ceiling which is making an installation of frameless enclosure extremely hard or just not possible.
ROLLING SHUTTER
DOORS
INTRODUCTION

• A roller shutter door is a door constructed from any individual steel or aluminium
horizontal slats and operated by rolling the slats around a barrel directly up or down with
the assistance of either a spring or an electric motor (or both) and guides either side to
hold the curtain secure in place.
Types Of Roller Shutters

• Interior Roller Shutters,

• Exterior Roller Shutters,
• Manual Roller Shutters,
• Electric Roller Shutters,
• Built-In & Built-On Roller Shutters,
• Aluminium Roller Shutters,
• Transparent Roller Shutters.

COLLAPSIBLE
SHUTTER DOORS
INTRODUCTION

• Collapsible Shutter is different type of shutter which slide horizontally with

collapsible gate . It can be opened or closed by slight pull or push. This door is used
where the width of the door is large and space is insufficient to provide two-leafed hinged
shutters to open. This door is fabricated from thin mild steel sections.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
PROS
• It is easy to use and reliable and can be opened as desired.
• It is easy to handle.It is a highly visual deterrent to
potential intruders.
• These doors are custom made and cost effective. A single
door can be used for easy access without having to open
the whole door.
• They are light in weight as compared to solid doors and
can be controlled easily as it can be operated with chain or
lock.
CONS
• It collects more dust in guide channel and hence becomes difficult to operate.
• If not operated properly, the hardware can get damaged, making the door
very difficult to use.
• There is a guide channel on the either side; therefore there are chances of
someone stumbling on the floor.
• It requires more lubrication. So it is not completely maintenance free.
• It needs regular painting as they get corroded earlier (If exposed to direct
sunlight or rain).
• The collapsible door does not provide privacy inside the room.
• These doors are not suitable for air-conditioned halls.
• These doors do not close automatically when not in use.
SLIDING DOOR
INTRODUCTION

• A sliding door is a type of door which opens horizontally by sliding, usually horizontal to a wall.
Sliding doors can be mounted either on top of a track below or be suspended from a track above.
Some types slide into a space in the parallel wall in the direction of travel, rather than the door
sliding along the outside of the parallel wall.There are several types of sliding doors, such as
pocket doors, sliding glass doors, center-opening doors, and bypass doors. Sliding doors are
commonly used as shower doors, glass doors, screen doors, wardrobe doors or in vans.
• A standard sliding glass door is 80-inches tall with a width varying from 60 inches to 72 inches
depending on the space. In most homes, doorframes are measured to a standard size to make door
replacements easy.
TYPES OF SLIDING DOOR

• Bi-Folding Doors
• Sliding Patio Door
• Pocket Sliding Doors
• Stacker Sliding Door
• Bypass Siding (Barn) Door
BI-FOLDING DOOR

• Bi-fold doors are made up of multiple door panels, which when opened, overlap and fold
onto each other. The point at which the door panels meet are fitted with rollers, so when
the door is opened it slides and folds in a concertina-like fashion.
SLIDING PATIO DOOR

• As the name suggests these large, generally glass sliding doors are designed to separate
internal spaces from outdoor patios. The intention is to create a seamless blend between
the indoors and outdoors, by turning what would be a wall into a large window.
• Given these doors have to compete with the elements, they are much more heavy-duty
than others in this list, and are well-equipped in keeping the inside in, and the outside out.
POCKET SLIDING DOOR

• Pocket sliding doors are those which slide away into a hidden cavity in the wall, i.e. a
‘pocket’. This will require a wall which is wide enough to accommodate the pocket, and
also have enough space on one side of the door frame to fit the door when fully opened.
These pockets are generally installed when a new home is being built, but it is possible to
retrofit one if the requisite space exists.
STACKER SLIDING DOOR

• Stacker sliding doors are sliding doors which, as the name suggests, stack on top of one
another when opened. These doors utilise more panels than a standard sliding door, but
each is smaller and runs on its own track. As a result, when fully opened the stack of
panels is substantially thicker than that of a standard sliding door.
BYPASS SLIDING (BARN)DOOR

• Often serving a similar purpose to cavity doors, bypass barn doors are often employed to
maximise space. Bypass bars doors are unique because instead of sliding on a track that’s
hidden in a door frame, the mechanism is exposed and on display.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Easy to use.
Sliding doors and windows are extremely easy to open and close while requiring minimal effort.
They enable hassle-free operation and prove to be a boon for short walls. Instead of having to
push them up, they glide along the frame with relative ease. Additionally, you can control the
degree to which you want your door or window to be open as well. To open sliding doors or
windows, all you have to do is release a latch and slide the window/door open.
Contemporary style
Sliding doors and windows help add a bit of style and panache to any décor. Given their sleek and
modern look, sliding windows and doors can help make a dramatic style statement.
• There are also certain corners which are difficult to reach and access
especially the channels which can lead to accumulation of dust, grime and dirt.
Fingerprints
• A lot of times, sliding doors and windows can become a fingerprint magnet as
individuals tend to slide it open by touching the glass itself. This can prove to
be quite an ordeal for the person who has to clean the windows because
fingerprint marks can build up very quickly over time
Revolving Door
