Why Choose Luxury Slide and Fold Doors?

There are many reasons why you should choose Duraslim Edge Slide-and-Fold Doors for your home. Below are a few:

1. Maximum Opening

   Duraslim Edge slide-and-fold doors can create an opening of up to 10 meters wide. Unlike traditional doors, slide-and-fold doors allow the sashes to be stacked neatly next to each other, offering a fully unobstructed opening. This ensures a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, making areas feel more open and connected.

2. Flush Bottom Track

   Duraslim Edge slide-and-fold doors feature a flush bottom track, creating a smooth, level transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. This design enhances accessibility while maintaining a modern, seamless aesthetic.

3. Space-Saving Functionality

   These doors fold neatly to the side, maximizing available space and making your home feel more open and spacious.

4. Security & Weather Resistance

   Equipped with an advanced multi-point locking system, these doors provide high security. They can also be customized with high-performance glass up to 32mm thick for enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation.

   Additionally, Duraslim Edge doors are made from a special aluminium alloy called Duranium, which enhances strength, durability, and resistance to rust, corrosion, and warping—ensuring long-lasting performance in all weather conditions.

Installation Tips for Long-Lasting Performance

Proper installation is the first step to ensuring that your aluminium foldable doors function efficiently and last for years. Here are some crucial installation tips that we keep in mind:

• We Send Professional Installers

  While it may be tempting to try a DIY installation, luxury slide-and-fold doors require precise measurements, alignment, and adjustment to function correctly. Our professional installers have the experience and expertise to ensure that the doors are mounted accurately, minimising the risk of issues down the line.

Maintenance Tips to Ensure Longevity

Once your slide and fold doors are installed, proper maintenance is crucial to keeping them functioning smoothly and looking beautiful over time. At Eternia, we provide post-installation free maintenance service too. Here are some essential maintenance tips:

• Regular Cleaning of Tracks and Frames

  One of the simplest ways to maintain aluminium foldable doors is to regularly clean the tracks, frames, and glass. Dirt, debris, and dust can accumulate in the tracks, hindering the door’s movement and causing unnecessary friction.

  Tip: Clean the tracks with a vacuum or a brush to remove dirt and debris. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to wipe down the aluminium frames and glass. You must avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

• Inspect Seals and Gaskets

  The gaskets and seals around your slide-and-fold doors are essential in insulation and preventing drafts. Over time, these seals can wear out, causing gaps and reducing the door’s performance. Eternia gives a warranty of 12 years on frames and 5 years on moving hardware.

  Tip: Check the seals for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any cracked or worn-out seals to ensure optimal performance. This will also help maintain the door’s energy efficiency and prevent air leaks.

Conclusion

Following proper installation techniques and committing to regular maintenance ensures that your aluminium foldable doors remain in top condition for years. By paying attention to the installation process, keeping the moving parts clean and lubricated, and addressing minor issues before they become major problems, you can enjoy the full benefits of your slide-and-fold doors while ensuring their longevity.
