Details that are easily overlooked when choosing aluminum sliding doors
Aluminum alloy sliding doors are a common home decoration category that I believe everyone is familiar with. Moreover, sliding doors are needed in many places in the home, such as balconies, kitchens, study rooms, bathrooms, etc. Because aluminum alloy sliding doors can not only be used as partitions for space distribution, but also have the function of sound insulation and heat insulation. The shape is also simple and elegant, and can be flexibly integrated into different decorative styles. However, the quality of sliding doors on the market varies greatly, and prices vary widely. So how to choose high-quality aluminum alloy sliding doors?
First look at the glass. Because the quality of the glass will directly determine the quality and beauty of the sliding door. Since glass occupies most of the sliding door area, for safety reasons, tempered glass can be used, which has passed 3C certification and is qualified and reliable.
Secondly, look at the material. If you want to buy high-quality aluminum alloy sliding doors, it is recommended to choose aluminum alloy doors and windows made of raw aluminum. Because some manufacturers on the market use recycled aluminum to reduce costs, such doors and windows not only have a greatly reduced service life, but also leave many risks. For example, the aviation-grade aluminum alloy profiles currently on the market have a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, strong toughness, good mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. They are easy to withstand various severe weather and achieve thermal insulation, rainproof, and windproof. Will the quality of sliding doors made of this profile be poor?
Also, look at the tracks. The rationality of floor rail design is that it will directly affect the comfort and service life of the sliding door. It is recommended to choose according to different spaces and needs. For example, if the kitchen fumes are heavy, you can choose a style that is easier to clean; if there are elderly people and children at home, for safety reasons, the height of the track should not exceed 5 mm.
Next is the pulley. If you find that your sliding door is noisy, often stuck, or even derailed, these are all caused by the use of inferior pulleys. Therefore, when purchasing a sliding door, be sure to pay attention to the material of the pulley. Generally speaking, aluminum alloy sliding doors have two sets of pulleys, which are the upper pulley and the lower pulley. The lower pulley is easy to wear. It is recommended to choose fiberglass material, which is not only pressure-resistant and wear-resistant, has a long service life, but also has a large load-bearing capacity.
Generally speaking, to choose high-quality aluminum alloy sliding doors, in addition to paying attention to the above points, it is also recommended to choose an aluminum alloy sliding door manufacturer with more guaranteed quality.
