Often and willingly there is confusion between these models, so let’s try to clarify.
Sliding glass veranda
In a veranda with sliding glass, the movement of the doors is guaranteed by the upper and lower guides in a fluid, optimal and silent way, representing the optimal solution in case of large openings , since it guarantees brightness, airiness and panoramic views while remaining practical and safe. In fact, when it comes to particularly large and heavy surfaces, the traditional hinged opening is unthinkable, both for a mechanical question, since the opening would be very difficult , and for aesthetic results screen rooms in Fort Smith, AR.
However, it is necessary to study a priori the position of the house, the exposure, the hours of light and the geographical location in which the property is located, in order to avoid the risk, with mirrors of this size, of overheating the rooms too much with a consequent increase in bill costs. Speaking of prices, those for the purchase of a veranda with retractable glass are far from negligible, and depend on the material with which the frame is made (around 700 EUR for PVC and 1200 EUR for aluminum , while wood tends to be excluded for reasons of weight first and later expenditure, even if the diehards of the rustic style continue to choose it), and then by the type of glass that is mounted there, as well as by the dimensions and any accessories.
A trick to save money is to opt for fixed or only partially sliding windows , but it is clear that in this way you lose comfort and performance. If the house and budget allow it, it is then interesting to apply the trick of double transparency , which consists, as can be seen from the following photo, in inserting sliding glass doors inside the house that make the view even more enjoyable even from the rooms. (off limits, for obvious reasons of privacy, the bathroom and the bedroom!).
But the sliding can take place not only horizontally: in fact there are vertical sliding windows , which reproduce the functions of a sliding window, obviously with larger dimensions and therefore necessarily equipped with an automated mechanism (opening this type of interior glass would otherwise be impossible). For this specific model, prices tend to rise also because, usually, it is a type of frame that is made to measure.
