PVC Sliding Systems

PVC sliding systems

PVC sliding systems are, above all, more space. This is not a solution only for those interiors where there is a perceived lack of space and opening a large swing door would be problematic. On the contrary, MS Holland Kozijnen increasingly offers them to investors for modern construction, where systems of this type create a coherent, uniform space between the apartment and the terrace. They can be used almost everywhere and although there are certain technical limitations, these are much more universal options and with lower requirements than it might seem.

Advanced HST door guides

Sliding PVC patio doors are placed on special guides , along which their leaves move. Traditional PSK solutions required the creation of high thresholds and the use of considerable force to operate them. However, they are no longer the only available options.

Currently, HST solutions are becoming increasingly popular. They are not only much easier to use thanks to improved guides and fittings, but they also allow for a reduction in the height of the threshold . If the building provides such possibilities, and most properties do, the threshold can be completely eliminated by leveling it with the floor.

Eko-Okna also introduces developments of classic systems to their offer. They combine many advantages of the most expensive solutions with greater availability understood as a lower price while maintaining thermal parameters and durability.

It should also be emphasized that the solutions currently used can help to eliminate a factor considered a disadvantage of sliding systems, i.e. a lower level of thermal insulation in comparison to swing systems.

HST and related solutions offer increased pressure of the movable sashes against the frame, which translates into their higher tightness and reduced energy losses.

Sliding systems are windows and doors in one

The terrace systems offered by MS Holland Kozijnen are both windows and doors. The distinction introduced in the case of many systems is limited to the size of the elements used and the fittings used. The profiles remain the same.

As a rule, the systems used in sliding solutions are window systems, because the production process closely resembles the preparation of window joinery. However, if the system is created in a version that will reach the floor and will be used as an exit to the balcony, the sliding system should be treated as a door system.

Regardless of the nomenclature used, the systems offered by MS Holland Kozijnen work effectively both as windows that we will open without leaning them into the room, and as doors that we will use to go out onto the balcony or terrace or to pass between rooms.

Accordion systems also elude classic classification. In many public utility buildings, such as restaurants and wedding halls, they can be used as partitions dividing larger rooms into zones. After opening the doors, their individual wings fold like an accordion, which is where they get their name. They can be moved apart and combine two previously separate rooms into one.

PSK, PAS and HST doors, i.e. PVC sliding systems in two versions

The type of PVC sliding system can be divided into tilt-and-slide systems (e.g. PSK doors) and side-slide systems (PAS) on the one hand, and lift-and-slide systems (HST) on the other.

MS Holland Kozijnen offers PSK sliding doors. They are still popular also because in some buildings they are the only systems that can be installed. The main advantages of this approach are relatively easy installation and moderate cost of using the system for your home.

If we don't have a lot of money, but still want to have sliding windows or doors in our home, it will probably be the PSK or PAS system. However, more expensive HST systems also offer more possibilities, which is worth considering. They allow, among other things, to completely eliminate the threshold, which is a desirable solution in homes with children or elderly people, as well as in all spaces where we expect a flat space.

HST systems are often used by catering establishments. It should be noted that both approaches can be achieved with one or two movable wings, which increases the number of potential applications.

Sliding doors offer comfort

Choosing this type of system means comfort above all. None of them, regardless of the specific mechanics of its operation, requires the use of great force to move the sashes – to close and open them. Even sashes of very large dimensions move smoothly. Even small children can maneuver HST solutions without any problems.

All people who use interiors in which PVC sliding systems from MS Holland Kozijnen are used always enjoy the opportunity to see the world without obstacles, because the glazing here is very large.

It is also much easier to arrange the interior itself, because you do not have to take into account the requirements of the swing door. The space that must remain empty in classic options can be arranged here in a completely arbitrary way.

PVC sliding doors - A combination of functionality and excellent design

The choice of PVC sliding terrace doors is recommended for people who are looking for maximum usability of space combined with an original design.

PVC sliding systems are characterized by a very good price-to-performance ratio. This also includes thermal insulation, which is the best in plastic systems for structures in a similar price range.

Sliding doors can be made in the HST standard or a related standard, thanks to which they can be easily used by people with mobility disabilities, small children or the elderly. This is related to the ease of manipulating the system leaves as well as the possibility of eliminating the threshold.

At the same time, PVC patio door systems feature interesting profile shapes, the possibility of using exceptionally large glazing, as well as a rich palette of colors and veneers. These features, combined, create prestigious solutions at an affordable price, suitable for both private and public spaces.

The richness of colours and structures of the sliding window

PVC, as a material, is exceptionally grateful for aesthetic arrangements. There is a wide range of colors that PVC sliding systems can take. Dark colors, such as anthracite, are especially fashionable, but the most popular is still pristine white, the most universal option.

In practice, veneers are much more important. These are special coatings that are permanently applied to profiles at the production stage. They provide PVC sliding systems with their aesthetic versatility.

With the help of veneers, you can create designs with any look, matching any interior. The colors of the veneers can be smooth or more varied. The range of choices is wide and the customer can choose something that they like the most. Veneers do not have to be smooth either - they can also resemble the material they imitate to the touch.

A frequently chosen option is structures that make the plastic window look as if it was made of wood. Of course, there is a possibility of choosing very different structures imitating wood, which means that you can achieve a visual effect resembling the most popular types of wood, as well as a more exotic aesthetic.

This method of preparing profiles makes sliding systems much more universal and makes them easier to adapt to interiors with different characteristics, and they do not significantly limit the possibilities of interior design changes that they complement.
