Vistaline Renovation

Unveiling the next big trend in glass door design

For many people tackling a renovation or redevelopment project over the past decade the dream has been to extend the living space out on to the terrace or patio. To provide that connection the decision has tended to come down to two glazed door systems – bifold doors or sliding doors – but now there is a third option.

Combining the benefits of bifold and sliding doors, the unique new slide and turn door system from IDSystems is the ultimate in flexibility for a project.  The Swiss designed vistaline doors consist of individual panels that slide to one end before turning and stacking, offering the narrow sightlines of sliding doors but with the advantage of opening up the space entirely, as bi-folding doors do.

Slide and turn doors versus bifold and sliding doors

In terms of product popularity, there has been a real shift in trends away from bifold doors and towards sliding doors over the past couple of years.  “The large panes of glass and narrow frames that can be achieved with sliding doors make them a must-have for larger builds, though bi-folding doors still have their place, especially for smaller renovation projects where the fixed panel of sliding doors would block the space,” says Edward Stobart, Sales Manager of IDSystems. “Our vistaline slide and turn doors combine the benefits of both, and have super-slim 45mm sightlines.”

Opening slide and turn doors

As well as gliding along and turning to stack at right angles at one end of the track for a completely open aperture, the individual, non-connected panels can simply slide open at intervals, revealing small or large gaps depending on how much ventilation you want to bring in. The top-hung vistaline system opens effortlessly and smoothly.

Choosing a high-quality, efficient system

Whether planning to install slide and turn doors in a new build or a renovation project, the goal is a stylish system that keeps energy costs down. With triple-glazing as standard, vistaline doors from IDSystems can achieve a U-value as low as just 1.1W/m²K. The system’s sturdy aluminium frames are thermally broken, which prevents the transfer and loss of heat that could otherwise make your room chilly. Its Swiss-designed components include chromed steel mechanisms and running gear, designed and engineered to the highest quality.

Secure, weathertight doors

It pays to stay safe. Since each panel interlocks with its neighbour, there are no hinges or weak points for a burglar to take advantage of. Multipoint locking in the side jam keeps the system secure. The track can be recessed for an uninterrupted surface from indoors to outside. It includes innovative retractable weather seal technology, to keep your home nice and dry.

Sizing options

Vistaline slide and turn doors can cater for a city centre extension or the grandest of country homes – however large that might be. The system can be configured with up to 14 panels (with seven sliding from each side to meet in the centre) for openings as large as 14m wide. The doors can be up to 2,650mm high, with each panel up to 1,100mm wide. Mid-rails, mullions and solid in-fill panels are on offer to personalise your project.

Varied finishes

Alongside standard polyester powder-coated Slate Grey (RAL 7015) matt, Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) matt or Graphite Black (RAL 9011) finishes, you can customise your doors for an individual look with a choice of 200 RAL colours in matt, semi-gloss or full-gloss finishes.
