The easiness of application makes them the perfect for any part of the house starting from the main gate to the back door and garage. The basic purpose of any gate is security, safety and style. Sliding gates fulfill all these parameters so they are the obvious choice for everybody. There are different types of sliding gates and you can select the best according to the place, application, convenience and cost.
The Three variations of sliding gates are:
Track sliding gates: As the name suggests, these gates move on a rail track installed on the ground. It is a very common solution for residential, commercial and office premises and it is preferred because of the ease of operations and smoothness of the functioning. However, it is extremely important to maintain the gate properly and to use the best quality material for lone lasting effortlessness. The rails, channels, rollers and the grooves should be smooth and well greased to avoid friction and noise. These tracks get affected due to the dust particles and therefore require regular cleanin. Proper maintenance will keep them in good condition for a longer time.
-
Cantilever sliding gates: Cantilever sliding gate are useful when it is not possible to use ground tracks. When we install tracks for sliding, there is always an obstruction above the ground. The busy traffic roads or the places where we can’t afford such obstacles do not have any other option than the cantilever sliding gates. Cantilever system has a special section at the bottom where two separate sets of roller wheels and a specific distance to the concrete foundation. Length of this track is more than the track slider and the extra length is required for the counterbalance.
-
Telescopic sliding gates: Telescopic sliding gate system has multiple components that move at variable speed, but reach to the destination at the same time. They are especially useful when you do not have enough length to move, but want a clear opening for the full-length. They are specialized entry solutions made in the specific condition.
All these variants are used according to the requirement and architects suggest a specific design based on the physical location, need of the client and availability of the space. These gates are extremely convenient and easy to operate!
