Open-concept living has been the prevailing home design trend for many years, and good reason. Making the most of our entire space allows us to live more comfortably and take advantage of everything our home offers—including our outdoor area. Homeowners want to enjoy their gardens, patios, pools, and outdoor activities with their families without feeling wholly detached from their homes. Aluminum stacking doors have become a staple in modern homes because of their ability to unique the interior and exterior. This blended living lifestyle promotes outdoor activities with family and friends without sacrificing the comfort and security of the home.
Like aluminum sliding glass doors, aluminum stacking doors are made of several large glass panels. Instead of simply sliding, however, stacking doors slide and stack onto one another. They offer a transitional element to any home, providing easy access to and from its outdoor space. These doors offer a perfect solution for families that love spending time outside or regularly entertaining guests. Monumental Windows and Doors produces modern, sleek aluminum stacking doors to elevate any home’s design and style.
The Durable Construction of Aluminum Stacking Doors
One of the most significant advantages aluminum stacking doors hold over wood- and PVC-constructed is their durability. As seasons change, temperatures rise and fall, and weather conditions fluctuate throughout the year, materials such as wood swell, shrink, and warp under strain. If the integrity of the construction material is compromised, openings and gaps can affect the insulation of the home. Regular maintenance is required to maintain the condition of other materials, or they create serious vulnerabilities for the entire house. Aluminum will never distort, swell, or warp under the stress of any environmental conditions. Regardless of the home’s location and unique climate conditions, aluminum can withstand the harshest environments throughout a home’s lifetime.
Homeowners will not only save money through the added energy efficiency of aluminum stacking doors but also without the need for regular maintenance or emergency repairs. Aluminum offers a premium, low-maintenance experience for homeowners looking for a worry-free product. Aluminum can come in various long-lasting, customizable finishes and have less upkeep than traditional paint.
Energy-Efficiency Through State-of-the-Art Technology
Because of their aluminum construction, aluminum stacking doors reduce the amount of wasted energy in a home. Other construction materials, such as wood or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), require maintenance that compromises the airtight seal needed to insulate a home properly. In addition, inferior construction materials can lead to skyrocketing utility bills and uncomfortable interior temperatures. Aluminum is a high-performance material capable of withstanding time and environmental conditions that would otherwise undermine the structural integrity of other materials.
Monumental Windows and Doors designs its aluminum folding doors with innovative built-in thermal intelligence technology. On average, windows are responsible for about 30% of a home’s energy loss. Our high-performance windows include polyamide thermal breaks, which prevent heat from conducting between the outer and inner door frame structures. Save money on heating and cooling with this additional level of insulation. Additionally, our windows utilize low-emissivity (Low-E) glass to increase energy efficiency. Low-E glass significantly reduces the amount of ultraviolet (UV) light that enters a home without blocking the amount of natural light it receives.
Environment-Blending Modern Design
Aluminum stacking doors provide unparalleled immersion and connectivity with the outside space. As a result, homeowners can take full advantage of their beautiful gardens and natural sights from the comfort of their home — in any weather. Monumental manufactures stacking doors with slim, low-profile frame designs to maximize sightlines in any direction. In addition, narrow frame designs reduce the number of bulky materials blocking the best views in the home.
The versatility of aluminum stacking doors is one of its most significant features. Homeowners can enjoy a relaxing day inside while the vast window doors bring the outdoors inside. The wide-open potential gives families unmitigated views and access to their beautiful, natural surroundings. If they’re feeling more adventurous, transitioning outdoors is as easy as folding away the doors. These doors can serve multiple purposes for different styles of living.
Aluminum Offers Unmatched Sustainability
Our world pushes for a more sustainable way of living to ensure our planet continues to thrive into the future. Monumental Windows and Doors prides itself on manufacturing sustainable, eco-friendly products that support that mission. We produce our products out of aluminum, including our stacking doors, because it is a sustainable, non-toxic construction material. Aluminum is one of the world’s most abundant resources. It’s also recyclable, as 75% of all aluminum produced in the United States is still used today.
Aluminum is neither farmed nor at-risk as a depleting resource. Aluminum makes up about 8% of the Earth’s crust. As a result, contemporary design is becoming as much about sustainability as style. Constructing more sustainable, eco-friendly homes creates efficient homes and transforms home design to match an evolving world.
