The popularity of ultra-slim sliding doors has surged, with manufacturers innovating to create thinner frames that allow for better views. However, to achieve these designs, many have turned to structurally bonded glass systems, which permanently glue the glass to the frame. This method eliminates the traditional glazing bead, resulting in a system where glass replacement requires the replacement of the entire frame. This can lead to significant financial burdens, as standard home insurance policies often don't cover frame costs, leaving homeowners at risk if damage occurs.
Structurally bonded sliding doors offer attractive, ultra-slim designs but pose risks if glass needs replacement, as the entire frame will also need replacing.
With a trend towards slimmer frames for sliding doors, manufacturers are using structurally bonded glass, leading to complications for homeowners in glass replacement situations.
Standard home insurance typically covers glass replacement; however, it doesn't extend to the frame, potentially leaving homeowners with hefty out-of-pocket expenses.
The challenge with ultra-slim frames is that there is no space for a glazing bead, leading to the use of bonding methods that are not ideal for repairs.
