Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are a popular choice for modern homes and commercial spaces due to their sleek design and functional advantages. Unlike traditional hinged doors that require a swing radius, sliding doors glide open and closed along a track. This space-saving feature is ideal for areas where maximizing floor space is crucial, such as small rooms, tight hallways, or compact living spaces.
Sliding doors combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, making them a smart choice for enhancing your living or working space. Discover the perfect sliding door solution to complement your home or business and enjoy the benefits of seamless, stylish design.
Benefits of New
Sliding Doors

Enhanced Natural Light: With their large glass panels, sliding doors allow ample natural light to flood into your space. This can create a bright, airy atmosphere and help reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
-
Easy Operation: Sliding doors operate smoothly on a track system, making them easy to open and close with minimal effort. This makes them a practical choice for people of all ages and abilities.
-
Low Maintenance: Sliding doors are generally easy to maintain. The smooth track system reduces wear and tear, and the large glass surfaces can be cleaned with minimal effort. Regular maintenance involves ensuring the track is free from debris and that the door operates smoothly.

-
Locks: Mechanisms that secure the sliding doors in the closed position. Depending on the design, locks may be located on the door frame or panel and can include options such as keyed locks, latch locks, or multi-point locking systems.

Stops or Bumpers: Components that prevent the door panels from sliding too far and hitting the frame or other panels. Stops ensure that the doors stay in the intended position and don’t cause damage.
Frame

Casing or Trim: The decorative moldings or trim that surround the window on the interior and/or exterior. The casing helps to cover the gap between the window frame and the wall and provides a finished look.

OneSource was so competent though, it was worthwhile, and fairly painless. They kept all their commitments. They followed up regularly. I always knew the status of my order. The price was fair and it was overall, a really nice and super competent team. The new sliding doors are wonderful! Such an improvement!
