Aluminum sliding door, also known as aluminum alloy sliding door, refers to a sliding door made of aluminum alloy as the main frame material. This type of door is widely used in modern homes and commercial places because of its light weight, durability, and beautiful appearance.
1. Characteristics of aluminum sliding door
Material advantages: Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. When making sliding doors, aluminum-magnesium alloy is often used to enhance hardness and durability. This type of alloy door is light in texture, strong in pressure resistance, and has good heat dissipation performance. In addition, aluminum alloy is easy to color, and can be processed by special processes to present a variety of colors to meet different decorative needs.
Space utilization: The design of the sliding door does not take up extra space when opening and closing, and is suitable for areas that need to save space, such as balconies, kitchens, etc. Its flat opening method makes the interior layout more flexible.
Aesthetics: The aluminum sliding door has a simple appearance and smooth lines. It can match a variety of decoration styles and enhance the modern sense of the overall space. The combination of glass and aluminum alloy makes the door body highly transparent and increases indoor lighting.
2. Precautions for purchasing aluminum sliding doors
Profile quality: The aluminum sliding door profiles on the market are mainly divided into two types: aluminum-magnesium alloy and recycled aluminum. High-quality aluminum sliding doors are usually made of aluminum, strontium, copper, magnesium, manganese and other alloys, with a thickness of more than 1mm, and are tough and durable. The strength and service life of recycled aluminum profiles are relatively low. When purchasing, you can ask the merchant to show the cross-section of the profile to understand the real material.
Pulley system: The pulley is a key component of the sliding door, which directly affects its service life and smoothness. The internal structure of a high-quality pulley is complex, contains bearings, and is fixed with aluminum blocks, which is stable and noiseless when sliding. When purchasing, you can push and pull the door leaf to feel its smoothness and stability.
Track design: The design of the track is directly related to the stability and safety of the sliding door. When installing, ensure that the upper and lower tracks are parallel and the size of the track box is reasonable to ensure the smooth sliding of the door leaf. In addition, the material and processing accuracy of the track also need to be paid attention to to prevent deformation and wear.
3. Installation and maintenance
When installing aluminum sliding doors, ensure that the size of the track box is reasonable, usually requiring a height of 12 cm and a width of 9 cm, so that the track can be installed smoothly. During use, clean the track and pulley regularly to avoid accumulation of debris that affects the smoothness of sliding. At the same time, avoid hitting the door leaf hard to extend its service life.
In summary, aluminum sliding doors have become a popular choice in modern home decoration with their unique advantages. During the purchase and use process, paying attention to material quality, pulley system, track design and other aspects can ensure its beauty and durability, adding comfort and convenience to the living environment.
