What Are The Advantages of Aluminum Sliding Doors Compared to Other Doors?

20 Mar.,2024

 

Almost everyone has seen the most common use of double door sliding aluminum doors connecting an enclosed space to an outdoor patio, pool, garden, etc. They add great visibility to large amounts of outdoor spaces and visibility to the gardens, the pool, the kids’ play areas like swing sets and gyms while making indoor spaces seem larger and expansive. 

These doors brighten the space in the room you choose letting in natural light allowing growing conditions for nearby plants. In fact, if one door stays closed a plant rack can be added to add greenery to the room indoors and then outdoors. For safety sake, use only a 3-foot high rack so your visibility is not impaired especially if you are monitoring children outdoors.

Vision Art Aluminum, North Jersey’s premier door, window and sunroom providers offers homeowners and businesses custom sliding glass doors that can replace an entire wall with no problem. Remote blinds or shades inside the double glass panes are an option to eliminate chords dangers to kids and pets and add privacy.

Also, our doors have “finger-tip” operation so forget any thoughts that doors will be heavy, cumbersome and difficult to slide. Not at all.  Vision Art Aluminum uses the very best world class German and Italian hardware (tracks and locks) on everything we make, so rest assured you are in good hands with our stunning and high security doors.

New Jersey’s Premier Door Provider’s Advice on Choosing Doors for Your Home

Vision Art Aluminum has some “fast and furious” considerations for our busy and beloved customers in the Northern New Jersey area regarding choosing the best front door for your home. We know you’re busy so let’s get at this.

Here are important considerations before you shop for a door:

1-Fully understand the purpose of the door in order to make the wisest choice. Consider the priorities: Security? Energy efficiency? Privacy? Style of your home? Which direction does the door face? Can you see who is at the door before you open it? Do you want to?

2-Have an understanding of the materials commonly used in manufacturing of doors.

Wood? Fiberglas? Steel? Aluminum? Know the strengths and weakness of the door you select before you make a decision.

3-What size do you need? Measure twice, buy and order once, to make sure you get the right size.

4-Appraise the level of security you require from the locking system. Safety first, please!

5-Aesthetics: choosing styles and colors, it’s the first thing your friends, neighbors and perhaps business associates see. Practical issues? What color hides dirt but flatters the appearance of your home? Compliment the look of your home don’t overwhelm it. Doors last a long time so you can be stuck with it if you make a mistake here. Remember “curb appeal” is important.

As experts in the field, Vision Art Aluminum will make our recommendation to our friends and neighbors in Bergen County, NJ. Our doors are custom made, we can measure the door opening, we’re experienced after years in the door business, we’re artists (did you know our owner was a face designer/make-up artist for more than a decade before he took to architectural designing family spaces? See his bio on our website: visionartaluminum.com ) so we know color and more than that we absolutely know aluminum doors have the greatest “bang for the buck.” 

Here’s our advice as pros: Aluminum is best possible material for doors and windows. PERIOD!  It’s rust proof, strong, lightweight, resistant to the elements, does not warp, is anti-corrosive unless you are near a body of salt water, if so, invite us over for lunch, and we will tell you about coating it with an anti-corrosive. Aluminum is very easy to clean, too. Easy is good for busy homeowners, for sure. Right?
