Description

Sliding doors are used on nearly every building in each and every sector of our industry. Entrance doors to a public building, a residential building, a breakaway area or courtyard, which has become more apparent on high rise commercial buildings.

These glazing products are been installed in locations which will test them and their limitations to the absolute maximum, mainly the structural strength due to increased wind loads higher up the building as well as water tightness. Not to mention the fact that these doors are expected to span over 3 metres in some of the most exposed locations on the building.

Throughout this module we will be looking at sliding doors and the different variations of sliding doors. We will explore the environmental impacts, design considerations and common issues that require consideration when specifying sliding doors. We will look in closer detail to building movement and the subsequent effect that this has on the building remaining air tight, its acoustical performance, and water leakage.
