Sliding glass and wooden doors are quickly becoming a popular feature in modern Kenyan homes. Whether you’re renovating, building from scratch, or upgrading your interior space, these doors offer a stylish, functional, and space-efficient solution. This guide explores everything you need to know about installing sliding glass doors in Kenya.
Why Install Sliding glass Doors?
Sliding glass doors provide several advantages for both residential and commercial properties:
- Natural light enhancement
- Elegant, modern aesthetic
- Space-saving functionality
- Improved ventilation
- Seamless indoor-outdoor transition
Ideal for living rooms, balconies, patios, and office partitions, these doors are designed to elevate the visual appeal and functionality of your space.
Types of Sliding Doors in Kenya
At DoorIt Doors Plus, we offer a range of premium sliding door solutions to suit different needs and preferences.
1. Tempered Glass Sliding Doors
Designed for strength and safety. These doors are heat- and impact-resistant, making them suitable for homes with children or high foot traffic.
2. Laminated Glass Sliding Doors
Laminated glass holds together when shattered, offering an extra layer of security and sound insulation.
3. Tinted or Reflective Glass Doors
Ideal for areas that need more privacy or sun protection. Tinted glass reduces glare and UV exposure, helping regulate indoor temperatures.
4. Aluminum Frame Sliding Doors
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and low maintenance. Aluminum frames are particularly suitable for Kenya’s diverse climates, including coastal regions.
Key Factors to Consider Before Installation
Structural Opening
Accurate measurements from floor to ceiling and wall to wall are essential to ensure a proper fit.
Frame Material
Choose durable and weather-resistant materials such as aluminum with powder coating for aesthetics and longevity.
Glass Thickness
For strength and insulation, 10mm to 12mm glass thickness is typically recommended.
Track System
Depending on your needs, you can opt for a top-hung or bottom-rolling track system. Each has its pros in terms of drainage, aesthetics, and ease of cleaning.
Security
Ensure the system includes secure locking mechanisms. Additional features like security mesh or laminated glass can provide enhanced protection.
