What is a horizontal sliding door?

When you get home and open your front door, it swings inwards. We take it for granted that most doors swing open like this. However, swinging doors aren’t ideal for industrial environments where space is at a premium, such as loading bays and factory floors. In these cases, you need a door which takes up less space. A roller shutter door can be a good solution, but when you want to maximise clearance as well, consider a horizontal sliding door.

Horizontal sliding doors open horizontally and thus ensure optimum clearance and space efficiency. Their unique space-saving design makes them perfect for places such as industrial buildings, aircraft hangers, factories, boat yards and farms.
