    Sliding Doors
    A SLIDING DOOR IS A TYPE OF DOOR WHICH OPENS HORIZONTALLY BY
    SLIDING,WHEREBY THE DOOR IS EITHER MOUNTED ON OR SUSPENDED
    FROM A TRACK.
    History
    SLIDING DOOR WERE USED AS
    EARLY AS THE FIRST CENTURY
    CE IN ROMAN HOUSES AS
    EVIDENCE BY ARCHAEOLOGICAL
    FINDS IN POMPELI, ITALY.
    IN HISTORY OF SLIDING DOOR
    IT MAY HAVE CAME FROM THE
    ROMAN AND EUROPEIN
    COUNTRIES IN KERALA
    BOUNDRY GATE HAD SLIDING
    MECHANISM.
    Top Sliding Door
    Hun Gears
    g THE MECHANISM USED TO OPERATE A
    SLIDING DOOR IS CALLED DOOR GEAR.

    Top Hung
    The 'top hung' system is most often used. The door
    is hung by two trolley hangers at the top of the door
    running in a concealed track; all the weight is taken
    by the hangers, making the door easier to move.

    At each end is a track stopper to absorb any impact


    made if the door is slammed and to hold the door in
    the open or closed position.
    As the door is hung at the top from two points, it
    also needs a bottom track/stay roller to prevent it
    from swinging sideways.
     The most common type is called 'clear threshold guiding', a
    floor-fixed plastic guide about 60mm wide which is fixed below
    the door at the midpoint of its run. A groove is cut into the
    bottom of the door which runs over this guide, preventing lateral
    movement of the door. With a glass door the panel runs through
    the guide as illustrated. Because the door is always engaged in
    the guide, when the door is open the floor is clear, hence 'clear
    threshold'.
    Bottom Railing
    Sometimes a top hung system cannot be
    used, as the weight of the door cannot be
    supported from above; in this case a
    bottom rolling system is recommended.

    A bottom rolling system consists of two


    rollers (sometimes called a sheave) at the
    bottom of the door running on a track and two
    guides at the top running in a guide channel.
    As all the weight of the door is concentrated
    on the two bottom wheels, more force is
    needed to move the door than on a top hung
    system.;
    Lift-and-slide door gear
    A sliding door that is lifted from the frame during opening and closing is called a
    lift-and-slide door. This allows for a better seal, with less draught and better sound
    proving.
    Types of Sliding Door
    BYPASS SLIDING
    SURFACE SLIDING
    POCKET SLIDING
    BIFOLD DOORS
    Bypass Sliding
    • Doors Slide on overhead track and along guides or
    track on the floor .

    • Requires no operating space but is difficult to seal


    against weather and sound.

    • Offers access only through 50% of doorway width .

    • Used on exterior as sliding glass door.

    • Used in interiors primarily for visual screening.


    Surface Sliding

    SIMILAR TO A BYPASS SLIDING DOOR BUT


    PROVIDE ACCESS THROUGH FULL WITH OF
    DOORWAY.

    NO OPERATING SPACE REQUIRED BUT IS


    DIFFICULT TO WEATHERPROOF.

    DOOR IS SURFACE-HUNG ON AN EXPOSED


    OVERHEAD TRACK.
    Pocket Sliding

    DOOR SLIDES ON AN OVERHEADTRACK


    INTO AND OUT OF A RECESS WITH IN THE
    WIDTH OF A WALL.
    DOORWAY HAS FINISHED APPEARANCE
    WHEN FULLY OPEN .
    USED OFTEN WHERE A NORMAL DOOR
    SWING WOULD INTER FACE WITH THE USE
    OF A SPACE.
    Bifold Sliding
    HINGED DOOR PANELS FOLD FLAT AGAINST
    ONE ANOTHER WHEN OPENED .
    BIFOLD DOORS DIVIDE INTO TWO PARTS,
    REQUIRE LITTLE OPERATING SPACE , AND
    ARE USED PRIMARILY AS A VISUAL SCREEN
    TO ENCLOSE CLOSET AND STORAGE SPACES.

    ACCORDION DOORS ARE MULTILEAFED


    DOORS THAT ARE USED PRIMARILY TO
    SUBDIVIDE INTERIOR SPACES .
    Conclusion
    SLIDING DOOR ARE EASY TO USE AND HANDEL

    SLIDING DOOR ARE EASY TO INSTALL

    SLIDING DOOR CAN BE USE FOR SMALL AS WELL AS LARGE SPAN OPENING

    IT IS COSTLY TO INSTALL THIS DOORS THAN NORMAL PANEL DOOR

    NORMAL SLIDING DOOR OCCUPY HALF THE AREA OF OPENING BUT IN THIS CASE
    POCKET, SURFACE AND BIFOLD DOORS CAN BE USE

    YOU
