The type of doors chosen for these renovations can become a crucial part of the project. When we talk about interior doors, we tend to immediately imagine a swing door in every room, but they are many other alternatives which happen to be more functional.

Choosing the right interior sliding doors for a project adds value to the design, not only in terms of functionality and personalization, but also with regard to the “additional space” effect that these are capable of causing.
¿Choosing to install a sliding door means automatically getting back all of the pointless floor space required for the swing door to open?. This choice also gives us the flexibility to position furniture in a variety of places, since the new door will slide to the side along a wall or fixed architectural wall.
A sliding panel, large or small, two parallel panels that slide at the same time, or a synchronous telescopic system are just a few of the options you can choose from, depending on the size of the passageway or how much space is available to store the sliding doors when open.
In the case of small living spaces, which are the most common type nowadays, simply changing the type of door can have a huge impact on how you perceive and enjoy the space on a daily basis. It can even transform a bedroom previously considered suitable for a single person into one that is large enough for two, simply by getting rid of that extra space needed to open the swing door. Indeed, changing the bedroom door can have an immediate impact on the value of the home.
However, if we are interested in achieving the maximum integration of two adjacent rooms, while still maintaining them as separate areas, the solution may go beyond a single door. In this case, we would opt for a mobile partition to replace the wall. This type of solution allows us to merge two rooms into one by removing all barriers, and then separate them back out when needed.
Another differential element of sliding systems, when compared to traditional doors, is that they are much easier to personalize in an aesthetic sense.
A swing door is framed within a vertical surface and can greatly interrupt the flow of the space, given the hinges or pivots that keep it in place within the frame.
On the other hand, sliding doors integrate into the vertical surface, becoming part of it. Whether they are fastened to the ceiling or wall, stored between partitions or against a surface, they allow for many more presentation options and greater personalization.
The type of material chosen for the door will vary depending on the goal: glass is best for maximizing light, while wood is ideal for creating a warm, intimate space. Anything is possible, and both options increase the amount of available space, while simultaneously regulating the level of privacy.
If we add in technical characteristics, like a self-closing mechanism or the KSC-Klein Soft Closing braking system (to keep doors from slamming), the list of options becomes even more interesting and really starts to stand out.
The level of personalization that one can achieve with sliding doors means that different applications can require different drillings, fitting and profiles. Therefore, preparing the installation supports can be quite a lot of work. KLEIN® systems make the assembly phase as easy as possible with high-quality fittings that do not require any drilling of the glass, and which come with very clear instructions. This results in an easy installation and clean finishes for an excellent final product.
How should I choose which doors to use in my project? Should I plan my design with only swing doors or only sliding doors?
Both options are complementary and can easily co-exist in a single space, providing rooms that are more functional, more beautiful and more spacious.
French doors consist of two hinged doors that swing open from the middle. They are mostly made up of glass panels – to let in an abundance of natural light and provide a visual connection between the inside of your home and the outside world. The mechanism is simple: when you want to open them, you unlock the handle and push or pull – they can swing both ways.
And while they are beautiful, they demand a certain level of upkeep to maintain their appearance and functionality. Regular cleaning of the glass and periodic checks on the hinges and seals are a must.

Swing doors are the more common doors that you see everywhere – from the front door of a house to the door of a room. They have a single panel that is attached to a frame by two or more hinges. You turn the knob or handle, and the door swings on its hinges in the direction it’s set to open.
French doors often act as a focal point in a room, their symmetrical design and glass panels give a blend of sophistication and openness. Swing doors, while more understated, can still be stylish with the right design and material, but they don’t quite capture the grandeur of French doors.
French doors are ideal when you want to merge indoor and outdoor spaces, making them perfect for entertaining. They provide a wider opening for ease of access, which is crucial when you’re moving large items through. Swing doors, on the other hand, are more about practicality. They’re perfect for smaller spaces where a door that opens in only one direction is more convenient and safe.
When it comes to cost, swing doors are generally more budget-friendly – they require less intricate hardware and are easier to install. French doors, with their expansive glass and more complex installation, tend to be at a higher price point.

French doors, with their larger glass area, might seem less energy-efficient, but with modern advancements in glass technology, they can be just as insulating as swing doors. Look for French doors with double or triple-pane glass filled with insulating gases and low-emissivity (low-E) coatings. Swing doors, with less glass, naturally have a smaller surface area for heat transfer, but the door material and the quality of the seals are just as important for energy efficiency.
Security is often a concern with exterior doors. While French doors may seem more vulnerable due to the glass panels, they can be fortified with tempered or laminated glass and multi-point locking mechanism. Swing doors are generally perceived as secure, but they also benefit from high-quality deadbolts and even smart security features.
French doors require regular cleaning of the glass and checks on the hinges and weatherstripping. Swing doors need less frequent maintenance, but the hinges should be oiled and the door surface cleaned as needed. No matter the type, any signs of wear or damage should be addressed promptly to prevent bigger issues.
At Panda Windows & Doors, we stand behind our products with robust warranties and customer support. We make sure that every door we provide is up to our high standards, and we’re here to assist with any questions or concerns that may arise over the life of your doors.
