With our sliding door, you do not need to worry whether there is enough space for the door to open outside or inside, because the sliding doors have no swing area. The sliding door is therefore the ideal alternative to our traditional terrace door, if the space is limited or if you just want to free up extra room. For example, this might be the case on a balcony or terrace. Rationel sliding doors have an external sliding half and a fixed half. The sliding half opens by pushing it in front of the fixed half. Meaning that there is no door frame taking valuable up space when it is opened. Depending on your preferences and needs, the sliding half can either be on the left side, seen from the outside (left door sliding) or on the right side, seen from the outside (right door sliding).
The large glass area with our energy-efficient panes, lets a large amount of natural light into your home and ensures a good view out. Then you can enjoy nature, even though you are staying inside.
Security performance is a significant factor when it comes to selecting doors. Rationel's experience with Housing Associations, community developments and commercial projects, means that the security and safety of our products is second to none.
SECURED BY DESIGN
Our enhanced doors have been tested and marked according to the highest national and European standards, including 'Secured by Design'. To be certified under this initiative, the door frame and corresponding lock and hardware set has to be able to withstand a series of physical tests based on common burglary methods. Rationel has a wide range of products, which meet 'Secured by Design' specifications.
A three-point espagnolette locking mechanism and a solid hook bolt in hardened steel are one of the burglary inhibiting details in Rationel doors.
A reinforcement espagnolette which increases the strength of all the door closing points.
Extra-strong reinforcement espagnolette increases the strength of all door hinges.
Hook bolts in hardened steel combined with a reinforced front plate can resist even severe attacks from the burglars' tools.
A security receiver with inclined screws fixed in the sturdy part of the frame makes it difficult to break open the window.
Window hinges reinforced with extra-strong security angles which make it extremely difficult to pull the sash out of the frame.
Opening Types & Design Options
The drawings shown below are examples of options available. Contact Rationel for information about further options.
Rationel sliding patio doors are designed to be as beautiful as the views they frame. Sliding Patio Doors, where one half slides and the other is fixed, are ideal when
space is at a premium. The sliding part lifts easily and glides in front of the fixed section to create an opening of up to 1.55 metres.
