10 tips to create an individual view with sliding doors from Roscom
"Light and airy" were the requirements for modernism. Many things have changed in technology and construction since the Bauhaus style originated 100 years ago. The only thing that remains unchanged is the idea of uniting outside and inside. Thoughtful design makes it possible to create visionary concepts with sustainable solutions for individual homes. Inside becomes outside, the room seems larger, fresh air flows into the home and the view has no limits.
1. Outlook
Which view do you want to frame?
A view of nature or a panoramic view gives depth. The view from the home to the outdoor area must be completed down to the smallest detail. Nothing should disturb this view or the harmony between nature and architecture.
2. Perspective on the angle
What is your starting point for the view?
The opening position of the element can determine the view. Where is the walking frame or fixed field located? Does the window provide the full view? How much does the sliding door open up through the length of the building? Or is the view located just outside the corner of the home, so that the post must be a glass corner to achieve the optimal view?
3. Frame the view
How much/little frame do you want to see?
The choice of a sliding door is important if you want to achieve maximum transparency. Due to the built-in frames in the walls and ceiling as well as minimal profile widths and building depths, the visual parts of the sliding door are reduced to a minimum without having to compromise on flexibility in the choice of opening type or surface finish.
4. Transition
Appreciate the importance of smooth transitions.
Buildings and products should be designed in such a way that they can meet the current and future needs of users and must be as easy to operate as possible. Level transitions are practical as they eliminate the risk of falling and are essential to meet the requirements for barrier-free buildings.
5. Opening type
Which opening type do you prefer?
Whether it is a sliding, lift-and-slide or a folding door, the type of opening depends on the design and project-specific requirements. In order to decide which type of sliding door is best suited to the building in terms of form and function, there are some basic things that must be taken into account. Is there enough space for the glass frame? Is it possible to integrate it into the wall? Is there enough passage to be able to meet the maximum transparency?
6. Grip or electronic control
Do you prefer a door handle or electronic control?
Sliding doors must be easy to operate, whether you choose the manual or electronic version. Different technologies are available to achieve the desired function – from the range of handles (incl. standard handle as well as fully integrated handle, which can be operated with one hand) and an operating switch on the frame or wall, which can be controlled via app, e.g. as voice control.
7. Security
How secure should your sliding door be?
Protection against uninvited guests must also be considered.DIN STANDARDS contains requirements and classifications that apply to burglary protection for components such as doors and windows.
8. Today, tomorrow
Think about tomorrow today.
The boundaries between comfort, security and benefits are fluid. Buildings and products should be designed to guarantee a broad range of use for almost everyone, regardless of their capabilities. With easy and intuitive operation.
9. Life cycle
In harmony with the life cycle.
Good architecture means being ready for the future - today - both ecologically, economically and socially. It is no longer enough to produce building components in a sustainable way. Sustainable business practices include many things: from the sustainable extraction of raw materials and the use of recyclable material to meeting the criteria in production, assembly, use and finally disassembly and recycling.
10. Network
The network and automation of building functions are essential for efficient and sustainable buildings: for any climate, with functional flexibility and unique aesthetics.
