No matter what type of property you own, ensuring your home stays safe and secure is a top priority. If your house is easy to access, you risk being targeted by criminals and other bad actors who may wish to steal your belongings or cause harm to those inside your home.
This is why selecting the best quality doors is of utmost importance. At Oknalux, we are committed to offering top quality products to help you protect your home. In this blog, we will discuss the security benefits of our doors and their other positive attributes.
Types of Double-Glazed Doors and Their Advantages
When it comes to the doors on offer, there is an ample variety available. Every type of the four door systems we offer can be manufactured in your chosen material. This means the exact security attributes of each door varies.
In this section, we’ll discuss each type of door system and their advantages.
French Doors
This style of door swings open 180° singly or simultaneously to allow people entrance. This gives them timeless charm and elegant qualities. These doors are commonly used for doors leading to the garden.
Our French door frames come in four types; uPVC, aluminium, wood and a composite wood and aluminium system.
All our French doors come with enhanced security measures. Each door comes with modern multi-locking hardware. These multipoint locks secure the door with bolts at several points along the top, middle and bottom of the door simultaneously. This is done by pulling upward on the door handle to engage bolts or hooks into the frame. This is then locked in place using a key. This system offers superior security and weather sealing over single locks, making it exceptionally difficult for intruders to force open the door.
Our French doors are equipped with double glazing, making them very difficult to break through.
Our French doors also have a variety of other advantages:
- This style comes in a big variety of colours and finishes, making finding a door that complement the aesthetics of your home a breeze.
- Double glazing in the door aids with keeping your home’s climate consistent in temperature, reduces outside noise and improves energy efficiency.
- Depending on your needs at the time, our doors can be open singly or simultaneously.
Tilt and Slide Door
Our tilt and slide door allows the sash to separate from the frame to open. You can also tilt the frame to provide an opening along the top of the window to let air in.
Although this style of door can be tilted, it still remains secure. This is due to the door’s clever multi-locking hardware. This secures the door at multiple points around the frame, making the door practically immune to being pried open by potential intruders. This means tilt and slide doors have fantastic security and protection.
Since sliding doors are usually made of large panes of glass, you might be concerned that an intruder might try breaking the glass to gain entry. However, all of Oknalux’s sliding doors are equipped with double glazing. This makes it much more difficult to break through in comparison with single glazing. This means it is very unlikely to shatter if accidentally struck or run into and it provides better security against intruders.
Tilt and slide doors have a number of other benefits:
- They save space.
- They are long-lasting and durable.
- They are draught proof.
- They come in a wide variety of colours and timber effects. Different colours can be used for inside or outside.
- They offer all the benefits of double glazing such as noise reduction, indoor climate control and energy efficiency.
Lift And Slide (HS) Door
This type of door works like the traditional sliding door. However, at Oknalux, we pride ourselves on manufacturing doors to fit any size of opening. This is done through a specially designed hidden rail system, which lifts and glides huge sashes. This means this style can include sashes larger than 2.5 meters, creating huge windows to the outside world. This type boasts an unmatched construction and ease of functionality.
This window includes double glazing, making it much harder for intruders to break through. The frames are also exceptionally difficult to pry through.
Other benefits include:
- Ability to automate the door so it opens at the press of a button.
- They are easy to operate, durable and let in natural light.
- They boast all the benefits of double glazing such as outside sound reduction, improved climate control due to improved insulation and energy efficiency.
- They come in a variety of timber patterns and colours. Different colours can be used outside and inside.
Bifold Doors
Bifold doors are valued for their great practicality and style. This type of door includes multiple frames of glass across a wide opening. These frames are on hinges, allowing the frames to fold inwards to offer access to the outside world.
This type of door has considerable security measures. The door features two anti-burglary bolts per frame as standard, making them difficult to break into. The fact that each glass panel is double glazed also makes it extremely difficult to break the glass itself.
Other advantages include:
- Excellent sound reduction qualities.
- Tough and resistant structure due to the high-quality profiles.
- Exceptional thermal insulation with the use of special insulation inserts.
- Comes in a wide variety of colours and timber finishes inside and out.
Entry Doors
Entry doors are often used as front or back doors. They come in four frame types; uPVC, aluminium, wood and a composite wood and aluminium system.
From a security point of view, the doors feature a multi-locking mechanism, protecting against burglars or intruders. Metal reinforcement can also be added to the panel.
Other benefits include:
- Resistant to weather conditions.
- High functionality and durability.
- High energy efficiency.
- Colour, style and finish can be customised.
- Reduces sound pollution.
