Double-leaf plastic door structures are very popular today. Today such balcony doors can be found not only in new, but also in old multi-storey buildings, where their installation is possible due to the width of the opening. Such designs are available in different sizes, and they have their own advantages. There are also budget and more expensive product options depending on their functionality.
Functional features of two-section doors
PVC doors with two leaves, designed for installation on a balcony or loggia, are distinguished by a large glazing area. This is one of the main advantages of such structures, since more natural light enters the room.
In addition to high light transmission, the advantages of double-leaf PVC structures include their dimensions, since large objects can be carried through such openings. This allows apartment owners to equip loggias with full-fledged recreation areas using furniture and other household accessories. However, the design of not all double plastic blocks provides this opportunity.
On the market today, the most popular door sets with two leaves are considered to be French-type products. Their canvases are 80% made of glass.
Advantages of bevel devices
Double doors to the balcony visually expand the space and provide good lighting.
Plastic sliding doors have one of the most undeniable advantages - a wide entrance to the balcony. Especially if both halves of the plastic doors are made of double-glazed windows. With this door design, the space visually expands, and when the doors are open, the balcony space is connected to the room. It is also important that natural light is provided to a greater extent. Basically, such doors are equipped with handles on both sides, which makes it possible to close them both from the inside and from the outside.
The disadvantages include the fact that they cannot be installed on every balcony. Only if the doorway is about one meter wide, or even more. The permissible minimum width is 90 cm.
If you really really want to install sliding plastic doors and for this you need to widen the opening, then in this case you should obtain a special permit for the redevelopment and legalize it in the BTI.
Double metal-plastic door with blind section
Double-leaf door structures with one blind section and one working section provide the opportunity to glaze a large area of the balcony, while saving on additional fittings. But in this case, only one section of the balcony block opens, so large furniture cannot be brought onto the balcony. Such door structures are made with sliding or hinged doors.
Conclusion
Models with a hinged mechanism have an aesthetic appearance and provide the opportunity to use all the advantages of a double-leaf design. They are visually light, but at the same time reliable. Perfect for entrance and balcony blocks.

Swing option
Such designs are functionally no different from standard balcony doors with one leaf. The active sash performs both a turning option and an inclined one. A standard set of fittings is provided for it: a rotary door handle, a locking mechanism of a tape structure and two door hinges. The rest of the space of the balcony opening is filled with a fixed part, which at the same time serves as a frame for the movable section.
Most often, both panels of the balcony block have almost equal width. Therefore, in order to increase the opening space, it is recommended to make the working section wider.
During operation of swing two-section blocks, most of the load falls on the door hinges, which support the weight of the open leaf. The larger the glazing, the greater the load; double-glazed windows are quite heavy.
Therefore, when choosing loops, it is necessary to take into account their technical and operational characteristics. It is especially recommended to pay attention to such an indicator as the permissible weight of the door.
Roto fittings
The absolute convenience of opening/closing plastic balcony doors is ensured by German Roto fittings. Thanks to complete tightness, an optimal indoor microclimate is ensured. The high resistance of the fittings to loads allows the installation of sashes weighing up to 160 kg. The designs are designed for 20,000 opening cycles.

Sliding design
Opening the working section parallel to the blind part of the balcony block allows you to significantly save room space. The design itself is quite original. Therefore, such doors are often used to create modern interiors.
Sliding two-section doors are available in several versions: parallel-sliding, tilt-sliding, lift-sliding metal-plastic blocks.
In parallel-sliding blocks, the door leaves move apart along independent guides. Both sections of the door are not blind, but only half of the opening on one side or the other opens.
In tilt-and-slide blocks, sections are opened with special scissors. When opened, the door section first moves forward a short distance and then to the side. Such a system is capable of operating in inclined mode. This function is designed to ventilate the room.
In lift-and-slide door units, when opening, the working section first rises slightly, then moves freely further. When closed, the blade fits quite tightly to the guide. Thanks to this quality, sliding balcony blocks are the most airtight.
Lamination and coloring
Plastic balcony doors can be not only white. We offer a variety of color solutions. Such designs can embellish the interior and fill it with bright colors.
The plastic of the balcony door can be painted in any color according to the RAL scale . Lamination with a special film is also possible:

Metal-plastic door
The frame system is a rather interesting solution for a balcony. The main feature of the design is that both sections of a double-leaf balcony block can be opened simultaneously, leaving the opening completely free.
Shtulp - what is it
The frame is a system of plastic profiles, shutter mechanisms and fittings. One section of the structure is completely active, the other is passive.
The active (working) part of the hinged door is equipped with a standard handle and is equipped with both a rotary and folding function.
The passive (dependent) door section opens only with the working half. It does not have a folding function. This half of the panel door has a false impost. The working section is adjacent to it when closing. This element allows you to achieve high tightness of the door structure.

Pros and cons of the design
The main advantage of a two-section balcony block is the ability to completely clear the opening. Moreover, such designs have an attractive appearance.
Double-leaf balcony structures are most often used when arranging large loggias and terraces. Such doors provide effective natural ventilation of rooms and provide the opportunity to move large objects, such as furniture, through the doorway.
But this design also has its drawbacks:
- When organizing wide openings, the frame is not rigid enough;
- They are difficult to install correctly without the involvement of a specialist;
- It is difficult to use protective insect screens on such doors;
- Door hinges are subject to increased stress.
An increased load on the hinges of hinged doors is formed as a result of one section clinging to another. In this situation, the weight of both canvases falls on the hinges. Therefore, roller microlifts are additionally provided for each sash. They take on part of the load of the canvas and fittings.
Construction of entrance groups made of plastic
The products consist of the following elements:
- Profile frame. Improved protective characteristics of the plastic profile structure are achieved through reinforcement with steel elements.
- Plastic sheet. There is heat-insulating material inside the structure.
- Glass inserts of different sizes and shapes. At the same time, glass is offered in two versions: triplex and armored. Both of them do not shatter into small pieces upon impact, but remain on the special film with which they are covered.
Plastic door design options
Additional options
- Reliable locks.
- Some models of plastic door panels presented today have steel inserts that block access to the locks, increasing protection against unauthorized entry into the house.
- A threshold that is equipped with a heat-insulating gasket.
The design of the input blocks is hinged, and in most cases bobbin technology is used. One of the doors opens, the second is fixed to the lower and upper bolts. It opens when needed. Often the working sash of a plastic block is larger in size.
This design for the entrance group is convenient, because it will not be possible to install a large plastic sheet in a wide doorway - the heavy door will sag over time and will require replacement. In addition, hinges and locks will quickly fail.
Product variant
Impost construction
To ensure that a two-section balcony door has both leaves with the same functions, an impost is additionally equipped inside the structure frame. Compared to frame-type systems, impost PVC blocks are characterized by increased rigidity and versatility. But despite this, they are installed on balconies less often.
Impost - what is it?
An additional vertical metal profile that divides the door structure into two sections independent from each other is called an impost. This is a load-bearing element of the door structure, so it is additionally reinforced with metal, like plastic profiles.
The impost lintel in a balcony door is more susceptible to wind loads than the frame. The frame profile is additionally secured with anchors to the load-bearing wall of the building, to which it transfers part of the received load. A standard set of fittings is used on impost doors. This product is a door structure consisting of two separate single-section doors.
Reasons for the rare use of mullion PVC door blocks
Impost metal-plastic systems have their advantages and disadvantages. In terms of rigidity, they are superior to stud blocks. Each section of this structure opens separately and is independent of the other, while they both operate in a swivel and tilt mode. A mosquito net can be easily installed on such doors.
But this design has a significant drawback that outweighs all its advantages. This is the presence of a lintel in the center of the doorway, which spoils the panoramic view, and most importantly, there is no possibility of carrying large objects through the doors.
To enter the loggia, it is enough to open one of the doors of the two-section design, so functionally it is practically no different from door systems with one blind section. Their only difference is that impost systems allow you to ventilate the room more efficiently. But, just for the sake of this function, their use is considered inappropriate.
Obvious pros and cons in favor of the products
Speaking about the advantages of double-leaf balcony doors, it is worth noting the main thing - an open and spacious passage to the loggia or balcony. Proper glazing of the structure will help create the effect of expanded space, when the room and the balcony become one harmonious whole. Additionally, with such glazing, energy costs are reduced - natural lighting does its job.
Balcony double doors look modern, aesthetically pleasing, and fashionable. They successfully complement the interior, do an excellent job of maintaining heat in the room, protect from dust, moisture, and sounds from the street.
The design's shortcomings are minor, but they exist. Installation of doors is possible only if the parameters of the doorways comply with the standard for products of this kind. Usually this is at least 90 cm in width of the doorway and its height is from 2.5 meters. In addition, in old-style houses with an old layout, installation of double doors will require permission from regulatory authorities.
Specifics of glazing double doors
The area of the door block's glazing primarily determines its light transmittance, as well as the appearance of the structure itself. The larger the glass unit, the more natural light enters the room and the more attractive the appearance of the door.
The double-glazed window is the most expensive component of the door structure. Therefore, the cost of the door will depend on the thickness and area of the glazing of the block. The weight of the balcony door also depends on the double-glazed window: the single-chamber version is 20 kg/m2, the double-chamber version is 30 kg/m2. Therefore, the larger the glazing area, the greater the load on the door hinges and profile frame.
When using multi-chamber double-glazed windows, which are quite heavy, horizontal imposts are additionally installed on many door block models. They help distribute the load more evenly throughout the profile harness.
The overall cost of glazed double doors also depends on the properties of the glass used. The budget option is standard fully transparent double-glazed windows. More expensive models are equipped with special energy-saving packages with a special thermal insulation coating.
But, regardless of your own preferences, before buying any model of balcony door, it is recommended to consult a specialist.
