GET TO KNOW THE ADVANTAGES

Discover the advantages of modern
sliding systems

Most investors planning to buy window frames do not realize how many important choices await them. It's a matter of choosing not only the color, the material from which the window frames will be made, but also the opening system. The desire for a modern solution with an elegant design is tempting, but some people need a little more argument in favor to make a decision. Wondering if the sliding system, is the solution for you? Check out what users value it for.

Saving space

Sliding sashes do not take up space in the room, so even doors of large dimensions do not limit the usable space in the interior. This solution allows you to arrange the space freely, which is especially important for smaller rooms, where every centimeter is important.

Natural light

Large-format glazing, means not only beautiful views outside the window, but also more sunlight in the interior. As a result, homeowners can enjoy a bright, cozy space and lower heating bills. Tight, warm frames and innovative glazing are the highest guarantee of energy efficiency and thermal insulation.

No architectural barriers

Modern sliding systems open up new design possibilities, not only in terms of glazing size. With threshold-free solutions, it is possible to create a comfortable exit to the outside, which will give the impression of connecting the two spaces. In some systems it is possible to use a low threshold, which will completely equalize the surface of both floors.

Convenient operation

With the sliding system, large-sized glazing is no longer a problem. Large windows also mean a huge weight, but with this solution you absolutely do not feel it. The stability of such a structure is due to, among other things, solid hardware. Even a child can easily cope with the operation of the window.

Wide passages

Sliding systems make it possible to create large glazing, including within the moving section. A similar effect cannot be achieved with a standard opening system. The final width of the glazing depends on the material of the window frames and the opening system used.

PSK, HST and SMART SLIDE

Let's take a closer look at the different opening systems - PSK, HST and Smart Slide

The above advantages of sliding systems appeal to you and you are increasingly thinking about using such a solution in your investment? Great, then the first step is behind you. However, delving deeper into the topic you will notice that this is not the end of important decisions. The different types of systems differ, so before making your final choice, it's worth taking a closer look and seeing which one best suits your needs. At first, these letter abbreviations certainly don't tell you much, and the need to choose makes you dizzy. Rest assured, we rush to help.

HST - modern sliding systems

HST is a modern solution that many investors have already come to love. This system perfectly fits the needs of today's architecture. First of all, it allows the creation of large glazing, which makes the external part of the property a unified whole, and allows residents to enjoy the view without restrictions.

The HST solution is considered an exclusive proposal that will satisfy the needs of even the most demanding investors. The element that distinguishes it from other solutions is the true absence of architectural barriers. Here it is possible to use a low threshold, and with the use of special overlays even its complete elimination and leveling it with the floor surface.

In addition to their modern appearance, they are characterized by maximum airtightness, which is why they are recommended for energy-efficient passive buildings.

Major drawbacks:
Compared to other systems, it is the most expensive solution

PSK - stand-off-sliding doors

The PSK system is otherwise known as a stand-off-sliding system because of its structure. The closed window forms a unified surface with the fixed part, and only during opening it jumps onto the side guide rail of the door, which is located in front of the fixed glazing. In order for this to happen, the sash must first be drawn towards itself and then moved sideways. The opening system itself is slightly more complicated than the HST solution, but it also allows the door to be left in the tilted position as in traditional windows.

Another characteristic element for this system, is the need for a slightly higher threshold, the height of which depends on the chosen solution, but most often it is a few centimeters. Some customers compromise and opt for a PSK sliding system with a higher threshold, but in an economical price version. This is an ideal solution for apartments and small spaces.

Major drawbacks:
The need for a threshold
Allow to create smaller glazing compared to other systems

Smart Slide System

Sliding doors in the Smart Slide system, is a modern solution that helps optimize the use of space inside the room. When opened, the door does not interfere with the living space, which allows you to arrange it as you wish. The operation of this system is very similar to the traditional HST, but has several innovations. Let's start with the technical issues. First of all, the carriages with which the window slides along the rail are not visible. An important element that allows to achieve better thermal insulation parameters is the fact that the gasket is located around the perimeter of the frame is pressed precisely when closing the sash. The system also allows the window to be locked in any position, leaving only a small opening for ventilation.

The moving part in this system can reach larger sizes, which allows you to create large-sized glazing with wide passages. However, using the Smart Slide system, you don't have to worry about complicated opening or that the door will move hard - the sash slides extremely lightly.

This system is an alternative to the more expensive solution, which is the HST, and practically does not differ from its capabilities except for one detail. In Smart Slide it is necessary to use a small threshold, but it is possible to partially hide it in the floor.

Key benefits:
Modern system with excellent thermal insulation parameters
Lightweight in operation, effortless door movement
Ability to create large-scale glazing
Major drawbacks:
The need for a small threshold
