As a homeowner or a business owner, the security and comfort of your space are two of the most important qualities. Many sliding doors on the market don’t tick off these boxes because they’re made poorly, and they come with cheap hardware. This can make your home or workplace more vulnerable to break-ins or cause an excess of noise pollution. For those living and working in urban areas, sound is definitely something you’ll want to minimize inside your space. At FSDC, we specialize in designing high-quality, secure sliding doors that quiet outside sounds. So if you’re still after a sliding door system that fits these criteria, here’s what you need to know!
How FSDC Doors Keep the Noise Out
No one wants their living room to sound like it’s parked next to a highway. Or worse, like you’re sitting copilot in an excavator. We like our spaces to be free of outside noise, so we ensured that our door and window systems did a good job of keeping things quiet.
A lot of sliding doors out there look good but aren’t built to block out much noise. Thin glass, loose seals, and cheap frames? That combo’s not going to do you any favours. This is especially true if your home or workplace faces a busy street.
Our doors at FSDC take a better approach. They’re made with materials that actually help reduce sound transmission. We offer double or even triple-pane glass, which creates a buffer zone between you and the outside world. More layers equal more insulation, which ultimately means less noise. It’s a simple idea that makes a big difference.
Then there’s the frame itself. Our doors are made with tough, dense materials like aluminum or uPVC, which don’t vibrate and rattle the way lighter, cheaper frames can. Rubber compression seals are built into the design to close off tiny gaps that can let in sound. When the doors shut, they shut tight.
So, if you want folding doors that look great but don’t sacrifice your peace and quiet, these are the kind of upgrades to look for!
Secure Sliding Doors
Now let’s chat about safety. Folding sliding doors have a reputation for looking awesome, but some people still worry they’re not as secure as traditional doors. That might’ve been true with old-school designs. But with modern engineering and quality materials, you can absolutely have large glass doors without compromising security.
FSDC doors come with built-in features that stop unwanted guests in their tracks. One of the most important is the encapsulated running gear. That might sound fancy, but it basically means the hardware that lets the doors slide is tucked safely inside the track. No exposed pieces for anyone to tamper with. It’s all protected!
Our sliding door systems also use a concealed 3-point multi-locking system. This means one handle turn locks the top, middle, and bottom of the door, all at once. No fuss, no half-done locks. It secures the whole door evenly, which makes it much harder to force open.
Further to this, we use solid steel shoot bolts that extend deep into the frame, plus high-security hinges that can’t just be popped out. These hinges are built to resist forced entry by design. You won’t catch anyone removing a pin and wiggling the door off. That’s the kind of detail that matters when it comes to keeping your business or home safe.
It’s also worth noting that our glass is internally glazed. That means it can’t be removed from the outside. It’s one more layer of protection built right in. So even if someone’s feeling ambitious, they’re going to have a tough time getting anywhere with these doors.
The FSDC lineup gives you secure sliding doors that are designed for real-world use, with real-world risks in mind.
