Balcony glazing with the Sliders system from the manufacturer!

Typically, PVC windows that are installed in apartments in apartment buildings and private cottages have a traditional hinged design, but this is not always convenient, as it requires additional space. An excellent solution is to use sliding Slidors systems for balcony glazing, the principle of which is based on the ability of the sash to move horizontally. If earlier such installations were quite expensive, today they have become more accessible to Russians, and therefore are increasingly beginning to be found in the homes of our compatriots.

Sliders glazing of balconies and loggias

For loggias and balconies, the Sliders Air system is most often used. It is the most affordable glazing option in terms of pricing policy. It is made from high-quality and environmentally friendly polyvinyl chloride, due to which its performance indicators are superior to aluminum analogues.

A tight fit of the sashes is ensured by using special proprietary fittings and a double brush seal.

A high level of security and protection against burglary from the outside is guaranteed by a crescent-shaped lock that securely presses each leaf.

The glazing coefficient of the Sliders Air system is much higher than that of other aluminum and PVC profiles, and the improved sliding design allows you to increase the usable space of the balcony and save space.

Where is it used?

Slidors semi-warm sliding glazing is used for glazing balconies, loggias, gazebos, verandas, terraces - all types of premises that are not constantly heated in the autumn-winter period. Warm up a room with this type of glazing quickly enough.

Balcony glazing with Sliders profile to the floor

Those who want to install large ceiling-to-floor windows on their balconies prefer the Sliders Panorama system. The profile is made of environmentally friendly polyvinyl chloride with galvanized internal reinforcement, which increases the stability and strength of the structure.

This is the best system for semi-warm glazing of a balcony or loggia.

The profile of the balcony frame contains a three-chamber double-glazed window that provides sound insulation.

The package includes a mosquito net that can be installed in any sector of the balcony glazing and can be easily moved along a special rail along the entire structure.

System Specifications

The frame is made of PVC profile, has 3 chambers and inserts that prevent wind and moisture from entering the room. The design is equipped with a double brush seal. Many similar models have a single glass unit, used for glazing balconies and loggias.

Due to the thickness of the glass unit, heat loss can be reduced by 3 times. This thickness can vary: from 6 to 14 mm.

Sliders systems for balconies have guides that allow the doors to move.

The products of this company are distinguished by a high degree of strength, since their base is a frame made of a metal profile. The window can withstand various loads, including strong gusts of wind. The design has the following technical characteristics:

  1. The window profile, consisting of 3 chambers, can have a width of 58, 60 and 70 mm. Protected from freezing.
  2. The design is equipped with frame corners, which make it possible to transport it in a disassembled state.
  3. Durable galvanized reinforcement.
  4. Equipped with a high rail and doors protected from getting wet and freezing.
  5. Rounding of the rail for smooth movement of the sash.
  6. Filingpis - insulation against blowing and unauthorized removal of the sash.
  7. The roller facilitates easy installation and smooth gliding.
  8. The sashes come complete with glass and double-glazed windows (according to customer requirements).
  9. Special crescent-shaped locks that prevent burglary and freezing.
  10. Double-sided seal.
  11. The frame takes into account the width of the glass unit: its dimensions are 18 mm, which provides high resistance to heat transfer.

This profile is suitable for glazing balconies and loggias. Compared to aluminum structures, this profile retains heat better and is more wear-resistant.

Important advantages

The popularity of the Sliders glazing system is due to the following advantages:

  • convenient sliding design that preserves the free space of the balcony or loggia;
  • the ability to choose the option of cold or warm glazing, depending on the purpose of the room and individual preferences;
  • reliable sealing achieved through the use of sealing elements;
  • The kit includes a mosquito net that protects against insects;
  • built-in steel reinforcement for added strength;
  • use of anti-burglary fittings;
  • providing protection from dust, dirt and noise;
  • Possibility of installation on balcony windows of any size and shape;
  • sliding the doors apart in any order;
  • frost-resistant properties.

There are no downsides to this glazing system.

How the glazing system works

The high strength of Sliders balcony profiles is explained by the use of a plastic structure with metal reinforcement inside. This allows you to withstand loads and strong winds.

This system operates on the coupe principle. At the bottom of each sash there are small rollers that slide smoothly along the guides.

At the request of customers, one glass with a thickness of up to 6 millimeters or a double-glazed window from 14 to 18 millimeters can be installed. The second option is preferable, as it allows you to significantly reduce heat loss by three times.

Since this glazing system is lightweight, it is suitable for installation even in old buildings. Using a special laminating film, the balcony profile can be given almost any color and texture.

The cost of this type of glazing, including the profile itself and installation work, ranges from 25 to 30 thousand rubles. However, you can save money by doing the installation yourself.

Slidor profile device

The main feature of the slidors profile is that it is reinforced with metal. Reinforcement occurs as follows: a metal frame is inserted into the main – plastic – profile, which gives strength to the entire structure. So you don’t have to worry that it will bend under strong winds or other impacts.

Components of the Sliders system

This profile opens according to the principle of a sliding wardrobe - the sections move along tracks on rollers. True, there are also static sashes, which, as mentioned earlier, can be alternated with moving ones in absolutely any order.

As for glazing, you can install either a single pane of glass (3 to 6 mm thick) or a single glazed unit with a width of 14 mm. What is best for you is up to you to decide. But if you want a warmer atmosphere on the balcony, then choose double-glazed windows. Its heat transfer resistance is 3-3.5 times higher than that of glass alone.

Features of installing the Sliders system

Installation of the Slidors glazing system has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when performing the work yourself.

  1. The profile can be installed at temperatures down to -15 degrees Celsius. However, in the cold season, before installation, it must be kept for several hours at a temperature of 20 degrees above zero. This will provide protection against accidental cracking during installation.
  2. It is permissible to install two to four rollers per section. The maximum load for each of them is 40 kilograms.
  3. Upon completion of installation work, it is necessary to check whether all parts are in place. Attention should be paid to the crescent-shaped lock and its fastening, seals (brush on the frame and rubber on the glass), piping (in the lower part of the frame, in the corners, as well as in the upper parts of the sashes at the joints).
  4. The lower horizontal profile must contain oval drain holes. Moreover, there must be at least two of them in each section.
  5. After installation, the sashes should move smoothly, without jamming. But you should pay attention that at the beginning of operation, they, like crescent locks, will open with little effort. As development progresses, this problem will disappear.

Why slidors is suitable for Russia

Slidors is a sliding profile made of economy class plastic. To make it clearer, it is something average in quality and characteristics between the KBE plastic profile and the provenal aluminum profile. That is, it is lighter than the first and warmer than the second. True, it also has a minus. It is not warm enough for an apartment or office, because it belongs to cold-warm glazing. Therefore, they are used to glaze non-residential premises, including balconies and loggias.

In the material “Glazing with cold profiles” you will learn more about the heat-shielding properties of the Slidors profile. And also: what other profiles are classified as cold glazing and how much do they cost.

If you are going to glaze your balcony for the first time, you may need permission. In what cases you need to receive it and where to go for this, see the link:

However, when Slidors arrived to us from South Korea, Russians literally immediately fell in love with it. And that's why.

Advantages of the slidors profile:

1. Like any profile, it will protect your balcony from noise, dirt and dust. However, it will do it better than aluminum. The reason for this is brush seals with an additional plastic gasket, which are installed between the section and the profile on both sides.

2. Another feature of the Sliders profile is that it is suitable for absolutely any window on your balcony - be it 2 meters high or oval-shaped. Of all the profiles, only this one is capable of such “tricks”.


Slidors are used for glazing gazebos, verandas, etc.


The Slidors plastic profile looks nicer than the aluminum profile


Slidors has doors even of such impressive sizes

3. Another advantage of the system is that the doors can slide apart in any order. At the same time, you can make several of them static. And thanks to the unique sliding mechanism, the windows will not freeze even in the most terrible frost. And you can open them without difficulty.

4. Slidors will protect your home from thieves and mosquitoes. A reliable crescent-shaped lock and a filing piece (a plastic element between the doors) will prevent burglars from getting inside, and a mosquito net will prevent mosquitoes. That's not all: the mosquito net moves freely across the entire window area on an additional rail.

5. The profile, if desired, is laminated with colored film. Therefore, if you prefer wood in appearance, you can take wood-colored sliders - it will turn out just as beautiful, but cheaper.

6. Plastic profiles always protect better from the cold compared to aluminum ones.
