Local Builder Reveals Why Sliding Doors Win the Day in Perth

Fremantle Door & Window Company provides custom sliding doors to numerous homes in the Perth area.
Perth, WA, 14 December 2015 - According to a local builder, sliding doors are becoming trendy in the Perth area. Sliding doors are seen by many as a great way to update a home’s “look” without spending nearly as much money as a total renovation would cost. Recently, Fremantle Door & Window provided consumers with information about nine different benefits provided by sliding doors. The highlights are below.

Energy Efficiency

Sliding doors are extremely energy efficient compared to standard issue doors that are normally built into homes. They are made of strong glass and exterior grade timber, both of which are efficient insulators. In addition, sliding doors fit tightly into their frames, providing a barrier against wind, water, heat, cold and pests.

Energy efficient sliding doors add to the comfort of a home and can reduce power bills for heating and cooling.

Integration with Nature

Sliding doors from Fremantle Door & Window Company help integrate a home with nature in three ways. First, their timber frames provide a visual reminder of the trees outside, making the home appear part of nature. Second, they provide a wide opening which allows for easy access, turning an alfresco living area into a functional part of the home. Third, they allow natural sunlight in while providing panoramic natural views from a home.

Space Saving

Sliding doors save space because they don’t open inward. That means homeowners don’t have to avoid putting objects in the “arc area.” In addition to providing more space, they actually give the illusion of even more space, due to the amount of sunlight they let in and the views they provide of the outdoors.

A large “picture window” view out a sliding door can make it appear as though the home is larger due to their eyes seeing the outdoors. As the saying goes for many, “perception is reality.”

Environmentally Friendly

Fremantle Door & Window is an environmentally friendly company. They manufacture their glass locally in WA, which cuts down on transport. They make their frames out of timber, which is the only building material that carries a negative carbon footprint.

Unlike any other material, timber removes carbon from the atmosphere and turns it into tangible building material. When timber is ethically sourced, it is harvested when it is past its peak growth and replaced by new trees which then turn even more carbon into timber.

The Total Package

Tish Thompson is the Office Administrator for Fremantle Door & Window Company, but her responsibilities belie her title. It is her responsibility to follow through with customers and make sure that everyone is satisfied. According to Ms Thompson: “Sliding doors are extremely popular in Perth right now. They give our customers a perfect combination of performance, beauty and economy that so many people want.”
