Features of sliding systems for terraces

Owners of suburban areas and cottages often order sliding systems for the terrace. This is a type of glazing that combines practicality in use with an original design. Thanks to this, the room offers a magnificent view of the surroundings, which is especially important if the building is located in a picturesque place. Sliding veranda windows are made to order in almost any size, they differ in structure, appearance, cost, quality of heat and sound insulation.

Types of sliding systems for verandas and terraces

To open a sash of this design, you need to move it along the main surface along the guide elements. Movement is carried out due to special rollers. The main way to classify products is by type of glazing. There are two main types of products:

Plastic structures or warm glazing. If a veranda or terrace is adjacent to a living space, a room with a pool, it makes sense to choose this option. The plastic profile provides good protection against cold, drafts, and minimizes heat loss in the winter season. It should be noted that the price of plastic windows for a veranda is an order of magnitude higher than the cost of cold glazing.
Aluminum structures (cold glazing). Most often, the Alutech profile is used for their manufacture (the maximum dimensions of the wings are 100x200 cm, the glass thickness is 4 or 6 mm). Such systems are installed to protect terraces and verandas from foliage, precipitation and wind, but they do not protect from the cold. An indisputable plus of such models is a more affordable cost. It is possible to buy aluminum sliding windows for a dacha veranda cheaper than a plastic counterpart.
Pros and cons of sliding windows
Sliding glazing of the veranda and terrace has many advantages. So, the advantages of aluminum models include the following factors:

• Maximum illumination, creating a beautiful view of the site.
• Light weight, no heavy load on the foundation.
• When using tempered glass, you can not be afraid that under mechanical stress it will turn into fragments.
• The high strength of the aluminum profile allows you to make a large-sized structure (important for frame models).
• Possibility of painting in any shade according to the RAL palette.
• Relatively low cost.

There are few disadvantages of aluminum structures - this is reduced sound insulation and a small selection of glasses with sun protection properties. Due to the high thermal conductivity, sliding windows for the veranda are installed in rooms that are not used in winter.

The advantages of plastic systems include the following properties:

• High thermal insulation, which allows you to make the terrace a comfortable place to relax even in winter.
• Excellent tightness, thanks to which the room will be protected from drafts as much as possible.
• Possibility of installation of anti-burglary system.
• The main drawback that sliding plastic doors to the terrace have is the price: compared to the cost of an aluminum counterpart, it is quite high. In addition, the plastic profile is more sensitive to ultraviolet light.
