The document provides information on various types of doors including frameless glass doors, rolling shutter doors, collapsible shutter doors, sliding doors, and revolving doors. Frameless glass doors are made of thick glass hung in a frameless frame for a more open feel. Rolling shutter doors are made of horizontal steel or aluminum slats that roll around a barrel. Collapsible shutter doors slide horizontally with collapsible gates. Sliding doors open horizontally on a track above or below. Revolving doors consist of 3-4 doors hanging on a central shaft that rotate within an enclosure. The document discusses the advantages of these doors like security, weather protection and energy efficiency as well as disadvantages such as potential leaks, high costs

1. FRAMELESS GLASS
DOOR

2. INTRODUCTION
• Frameless glass doors are made by creating a thick glass plate, typically between 1/2″ and
3/4″ thick, depending on the size, which is usually hung into a frameless glass frame (a series
of glass panels to the sides and above the doors). It is not unusual to see a large beam above
the doors supporting the top pivots.

3. Working of frameless door
• On a frameless shower enclosure when the door is open there is nothing around the edges,
no metal, only the hinges where the door meets the panel. This look allows for a more
open and modern feel to your bathroom and on a practical level eliminates some of the
gunk that can build up between the glass and metal.

4. ADVANTAGES
• More Light, Open Design. Often, the light in home bathrooms is not that great. ...
• Ample Space. ...
• Increased Functionality. ...
• View Your Tile. ...
• Customized Sizes. ...
• Easier to Clean. ...
• Less Mold Buildup.

5. DISADVANTAGES
• Cost
The glass used for frameless shower doors is much thicker and heavier than that of standard shower doors. It has to be in order for the glass panels
to stay in place without the benefit of a frame to support them. They also require stronger, sturdier hardware. As a result, frameless shower doors are
several hundred dollars more expensive than traditional shower doors.
• More Chances for Leaks
Because frameless shower doors lack the rubber and seals that traditional shower doors incorporate to prevent leaks, there’s a bigger chance that
water could leak out onto your bathroom floor, especially if the glass isn’t perfectly cut to size. The best way to prevent leaks is to find an
experienced, reliable company that turns out precision cuts and can also help design your shower in a way that minimizes the opportunity for
leakage to occur. This usually means placing the showerhead in a strategic location that will keep water away from the door and any other gaps.
• Frameless Shower Doors Can Shatter
While rare, frameless shower doors have been known to shatter. Such breakage is usually the result of damaged glass, defects in the glass, improper
installation, or severe or abrupt changes in temperature or humidity. While the glass is tempered to prevent jagged shards, it can still cut you. To
help prevent this from happening, check the hardware and fasteners regularly to make sure everything is secure, examine the glass periodically for
cracks or chips, and never slam the door or use it to help yourself in or out of the shower.

6. FRAMELESS GLASS
WINDOW

7. INTRODUCTION
• A frameless window is a seamless glazing option which has no obvious frame around the perimeter. As a new design
phenomenon, frameless glass panels are used for balconies, shower screens, glass doors and bespoke conservatory windows.
• Benefits of frameless windows
The supreme stylistic feature it can create.
Frameless windows let the optimum amount of light into a room, and provide a chic contemporary element to a building.
Simple and super-fast to install so home owners can enjoy minimum disruption and lower install fees.

8. DISADVANTAGES
• 1. Cost:
One of the most common concerns that homeowners have about frameless glass porch enclosure is the upfront expense. As
frameless porch enclosure require the use of much thicker, sturdier glass, they are generally 3 times more expensive than
traditional framed porch enclosures.
• 2. Potential for Leaks and Mosquitoes:
Without any frames, seals or insulating materials to keep water or snow from pouring in, frameless porch enclosures rely
heavily on precision and installation for the prevention of water leaks. Also there is no protection from getting bees, flies or
mosquitoes inside.
• 3. Risk of Shattering:
There are a few concerns that may cause frameless glass doors to shatter. Frameless glass doors hardware is not designed to
withstand wind and extreme weather conditions as a cold, heat or pollutions.

9. • 4. Lack of ventilation:
One problem that comes with sunny weather, though, is summer heat. Sitting behind those big glasses in your porch
enclosure is comfortable until the solar gain makes the room unbearably hot. That heat can even invade your house
and force your air-conditioning to run more than usual. Frameless glass porch enclosure has no options to add
openable windows to get a fresh air inside of your enclosure. Extreme hit inside can possibly damage your entrance
door or stuff that you keep inside.
• 5. Limited warranty:
The warranty for frameless glass enclosure usually does not exceed 5 years.
• 6. Not suitable for every house:
Originally designed for shower cabins, frameless glass enclosures require perfect leveled surfaces of existing porch
walls, floor and ceiling which is making an installation of frameless enclosure extremely hard or just not possible.

10. ROLLING SHUTTER
DOORS

11. INTRODUCTION
• A roller shutter door is a door constructed from any individual steel or aluminium
horizontal slats and operated by rolling the slats around a barrel directly up or down with
the assistance of either a spring or an electric motor (or both) and guides either side to
hold the curtain secure in place.

12. Types Of Roller Shutters
• Interior Roller Shutters,
• Exterior Roller Shutters,
• Manual Roller Shutters,
• Electric Roller Shutters,
• Built-In & Built-On Roller Shutters,
• Aluminium Roller Shutters,
• Transparent Roller Shutters.

13. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
PROS
• Secure, Visual deterrent, Weather protection,
Fire protection , Easy to operate, Insulation .
• Gives you control over the amount of light in
your building .
• Rust and scratch protection .
• Make your business look more professional,
Customisable .
CONS
• There are no major issues with the installation of
shutters but if not cleaned on time or not kept
up with the maintenance then the working can
get affected.

14. COLLAPSIBLE
SHUTTER DOORS

15. INTRODUCTION
• Collapsible Shutter is different type of shutter which slide horizontally with
collapsible gate . It can be opened or closed by slight pull or push. This door is used
where the width of the door is large and space is insufficient to provide two-leafed hinged
shutters to open. This door is fabricated from thin mild steel sections.

16. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
PROS
• It is easy to use and reliable and can be opened as desired.
• It is easy to handle.It is a highly visual deterrent to
potential intruders.
• These doors are custom made and cost effective. A single
door can be used for easy access without having to open
the whole door.
• They are light in weight as compared to solid doors and
can be controlled easily as it can be operated with chain or
lock.
CONS
• It collects more dust in guide channel and hence becomes difficult to
operate.
• If not operated properly, the hardware can get damaged, making the door
very difficult to use.
• There is a guide channel on the either side; therefore there are chances of
someone stumbling on the floor.
• It requires more lubrication. So it is not completely maintenance free.
• It needs regular painting as they get corroded earlier (If exposed to direct
sunlight or rain).
• The collapsible door does not provide privacy inside the room.
• These doors are not suitable for air-conditioned halls.
• These doors do not close automatically when not in use.

17. SLIDING DOOR

18. INTRODUCTION
• A sliding door is a type of door which opens horizontally by sliding, usually horizontal to a wall.
Sliding doors can be mounted either on top of a track below or be suspended from a track
above. Some types slide into a space in the parallel wall in the direction of travel, rather than the
door sliding along the outside of the parallel wall.There are several types of sliding doors, such
as pocket doors, sliding glass doors, center-opening doors, and bypass doors. Sliding doors are
commonly used as shower doors, glass doors, screen doors, wardrobe doors or in vans.
• A standard sliding glass door is 80-inches tall with a width varying from 60 inches to 72 inches
depending on the space. In most homes, doorframes are measured to a standard size to make
door replacements easy.

19. TYPES OF SLIDING DOOR
• Bi-Folding Doors
• Sliding Patio Door
• Pocket Sliding Doors
• Stacker Sliding Door
• Bypass Siding (Barn) Door

20. BI-FOLDING DOOR
• Bi-fold doors are made up of multiple door panels, which when opened, overlap
and fold onto each other. The point at which the door panels meet are fitted with
rollers, so when the door is opened it slides and folds in a concertina-like fashion.

21. SLIDING PATIO DOOR
• As the name suggests these large, generally glass sliding doors are designed to
separate internal spaces from outdoor patios. The intention is to create a
seamless blend between the indoors and outdoors, by turning what would be a
wall into a large window.
• Given these doors have to compete with the elements, they are much more
heavy-duty than others in this list, and are well-equipped in keeping the inside in,
and the outside out.

22. POCKET SLIDING DOOR
• Pocket sliding doors are those which slide away into a hidden cavity in the wall,
i.e. a ‘pocket’. This will require a wall which is wide enough to accommodate the
pocket, and also have enough space on one side of the door frame to fit the door
when fully opened. These pockets are generally installed when a new home is
being built, but it is possible to retrofit one if the requisite space exists.

23. STACKER SLIDING DOOR
• Stacker sliding doors are sliding doors which, as the name suggests, stack on top
of one another when opened. These doors utilise more panels than a standard
sliding door, but each is smaller and runs on its own track. As a result, when fully
opened the stack of panels is substantially thicker than that of a standard sliding
door.

24. BYPASS SLIDING (BARN)DOOR
• Often serving a similar purpose to cavity doors, bypass barn doors are often
employed to maximise space. Bypass bars doors are unique because instead of
sliding on a track that’s hidden in a door frame, the mechanism is exposed and
on display.

25. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
PROS
Minimal maintenance
In comparison to other forms of windows and doors, sliding windows and doors
comprises of fewer parts thus resulting in less breakage. This also means it mandates
lesser maintenance over time hence proving to be a cost-effective and hassle-free
solution for most homes.
Durable
Traditional windows consisting of springs and pulleys tend to wear out or fail over
sustained usage and time. Sliding windows and doors don’t make use of these
components for opening or closing thus making them robust and more durable over a
period of time. Additionally, sliding doors and windows also make use of window glazing
which further adds to their durability.
Energy efficiency
Sliding windows and doors make use of top-notch window glazing which not only helps
improve insulation but is energy efficient as well. This will result in lower energy bills
over time, which in turn, will result in significant savings. You will not only conserve
money on your heating bills in the winter but also air-conditioning costs in the summer.
Easy to use.
Sliding doors and windows are extremely easy to open and close while requiring
minimal effort. They enable hassle-free operation and prove to be a boon for short walls.
Instead of having to push them up, they glide along the frame with relative ease.
Additionally, you can control the degree to which you want your door or window to be
open as well. To open sliding doors or windows, all you have to do is release a latch
and slide the window/door open.
Contemporary style
Sliding doors and windows help add a bit of style and panache to any décor. Given their
sleek and modern look, sliding windows and doors can help make a dramatic style
statement.
CONS
Cleaning
• Sliding doors and windows can be challenging to clean on the outside.
Although cleaning them on the inside is relatively easier, sliding windows slide
back and forth thus making it difficult to clean from the outside especially
during winters.
• Unlike other types of windows that can be tilted inside for easy cleaning, it can
be tricky to clean the entirety of a sliding window or door especially if it’s
perched on a higher level. However, the job can be completed with a ladder so
it is not a serious problem.
• There are also certain corners which are difficult to reach and access
especially the channels which can lead to accumulation of dust, grime and dirt.
Fingerprints
• A lot of times, sliding doors and windows can become a fingerprint magnet as
individuals tend to slide it open by touching the glass itself. This can prove to
be quite an ordeal for the person who has to clean the windows because
fingerprint marks can build up very quickly over time

26. Revolving Door

27. INTRODUCTION
• A revolving door typically consists of three or four doors that hang on a central shaft and
rotate around a vertical axis within a cylindrical enclosure.

28. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
PROS
• Revolving doors offer outstanding protection
against draughts, noise, dust and dirt, thus helping
to improve energy efficiency in buildings.
• Revolving doors are energy efficient as they, acting
as an airlock, prevent drafts, thus decreasing the
loss of heating or cooling for the building.
• Revolving doors can also be used as security
devices to restrict entry to a single person at a time
if the spacing between the doors is small enough
eg. Airport Security Checks
CONS
• Sometimes it is heavy to push or its components are
claustrophobically narrow.
• There's also anxiety about getting stuck in a component
with another person.
