- 01
It Runs On A Track
The sliding panel moves along a track in the aluminium frame.
- 02
One Panel Moves Past The Other
It slides sideways past the panel next to it, so part of the opening always stays glass.
- 03
Nothing Swings
The door opens without swinging into the room or out onto the deck.

Thermally Broken Sliding Doors
A big sliding door has a lot of aluminium around the glass. In a plain frame that metal carries the cold outside straight through to the room side.
The ML102-TB frame is split into an outside half and an inside half, joined by an insulating strip called a thermal break. The strip stops the cold travelling through the metal into your room. Here's how thermally broken frames work.

Glass For A Big Door
Your Choice Of Glass
You choose the glass. Low-E glass has a thin coating that reflects heat, and argon filled glass has a heavy gas sealed in the gap between the panes. Laminated glass holds together if it breaks, acoustic glass is laminated with a layer that damps sound, and tinted glass cuts glare.
Safety Glass Where It's Needed
AS 1288, the Australian Standard for glass in buildings, sets where safety glass must go, and doors are one of those places. Laminated glass is one kind. Our guide to glass options for double glazing explains the rest.
Sliding Or Bifold?
Both open your room up to the deck or yard. The difference is how much of the opening clears, and whether the frame can have a thermal break.
