What is a "sliding door"?
A sliding door is a type of door that opens by moving along a track, either horizontally or vertically, rather than swinging open like a traditional hinged door. These doors are often made of glass or other lightweight materials, allowing for ample natural light and easy access between indoor and outdoor spaces. Sliding doors are commonly used for patio entries, closet openings, and room dividers, providing a space-saving solution. They can be designed with one or more panels and may include features such as screens for ventilation and security locks. Sliding doors enhance the flow of a space and are popular for their modern and stylish appearance.
