Whether you have a small terrace or a large outdoor area, a terrace has the potential to turn any living space into a garden escape.
But considering that the weather is quite capricious in Brasov, in order to use the terrace for as long as possible of the year, we thought of offering some solutions for closing the terrace that you can implement in your home.
Let’s take a closer look.
The time spent around the house has increased in recent years, the school and the service have moved home more and more homeowners are looking to earn by transforming the outdoor space inside and vice versa according to needs.
With a sliding door, you can completely open an interior space and enhance the views of your garden, making your terrace the strong point of the house and garden. In this case, the panels slide easily next to each other or inside the wall and do not consume your useful space of the room. But it is good to know how to install them with a retractable space in the wall, otherwise the sliding doors will not open completely, but only partially. In this case, a fixed panel is needed next to which the mobile ones can be retracted.
Like the sliding doors, the swing-sliding doors and the swing-swing-sliding doors in parallel, they allow comfortable access to the terraces and are about inviting the outside of the house and drawing attention to the garden. Therefore, we suggest that you close the terrace with large glass panels and oscillating or sliding doors that will offer picturesque views of your garden.
The oscillating-sliding doors made of PVC profiles with double-glazed windows offer the possibility of saving space, thanks to the drive system and offer superior thermal and sound insulation. This door model will help to create a bright and airy terrace, making it possible to transform the interior space into exterior space and vice versa.
The oscillating-sliding door allows a smooth operation, moving the sash slightly inwards. When closed, the movable part moves inwards again, remaining in the closed position perfectly aligned with the fixed part.
This system allows the closure with maximum tightness, perfectly safe, through the multiple closing points, distributed around the entire perimeter of the frame.
Oscillating doors are made of PVC or aluminum profile system, the difference is the hardware system, which allows easy movement of the frame and its sliding along the fixed part of the carpentry assembly.
Terrace doors with higher heights are made of aluminum profile system with or without thermal barrier, depending on the requirements and use of the terrace, and allows the realization of large glazed surfaces, with wide opening to nature and the environment . We recommend that you orient yourself towards this type of door and if you have kept a large enough opening to the terrace to create the impression that the living room extends naturally to the outside.
Swing doors with interior / exterior opening are the most economical and the most common option, but not the most suitable for terraces. Such a door will occupy the interior or exterior space and may be damaged by wind. The size of a door with such an opening is limited because the hinges will not be able to support the weight of a door that is too large.
French doors, with pivoting opening, with safety hardware in at least three points, with large glazed surface and traditionally with applied sprays fit very well both in the structure of the living rooms and outside. They consist of two parts, which open, being fixed with hinges on the sides of the frame that supports them. Specific to French doors, there is the possibility to open them in both directions, depending on the needs. For those who are passionate about the specific design of French doors, with wide frame, there are models that combine this format with a sliding functional structure.
Folding / harmonic doors (bi fold) are doors with full harmonic opening plus sliding, ideal for spaces that need a wide opening to the outside without any obstacles; With a single movement, the terrace and the garden become a whole. Harmonic doors can ensure a good thermal and sound insulation if double-glazed windows are used.
