Modern Sliding Glass Door

Stock Color Options for Thermal-Break Aluminum Profiles

For the 135D Series modern sliding glass door, DERCHI offers five stock colors for thermal-break aluminum profiles. These finishes use powder coating or fluorocarbon coating to support long-term outdoor use and stable color control. The same options work for a double pane sliding glass door used in both residential and commercial projects.

CARAMEL COFFEE is a warm brown tone. It pairs well with wood floors and light interior palettes for interior sliding glass doors.

DEEP COFFEE is a darker brown. It suits facade-driven designs and works well for exterior sliding glass doors.

BLACK CRYSTAL STONE has a fine-grain surface feel. It helps reduce visible fingerprints and supports high-traffic door areas.

QUARTZ GRAY is a neutral gray. It matches white, gray, and concrete wall finishes with less effort.

STARRY SKY BLACK is a deep black with subtle speckle. It helps define the frame line for large openings.

How to Choose the Right Color

Start with daylight conditions. If the room has limited light, QUARTZ GRAY can keep the space from feeling heavy. If the view is the focus, STARRY SKY BLACK or BLACK CRYSTAL STONE can frame the outdoor scene with clear contrast.

Consider the surface type. Smooth finishes feel clean and simple. Fine-grain finishes hide small marks from daily use. This is useful for a waterproof sliding glass door exposed to hands, dust, and rain.

Practical Matching Notes

For projects with different indoor and outdoor needs, many profiles support two-tone color use. You can align the exterior with the building facade and match the interior with the room style.

Check samples in sun and indoor lighting. Color shifts can happen under different light sources. Pair dark frames with matching hardware finishes to keep the full glass door system consistent.

Track and Opening Options for the 135D Series

The 135D Series Aluminum sliding door is built with a 135mm frame width. This format supports large openings and helps improve structural stability. DERCHI provides two track configurations for this modern sliding glass door: Two Tracks and Three Tracks.

Two Tracks (Two Panels Sliding)

Two Tracks is the standard setup with two rails. It delivers a maximum opening of about 50% of the total door width. One panel slides behind the other, so one side stays covered by glass.

This option uses a narrower frame layout. It can support better air and water sealing versus a three-track layout. It also simplifies track cleaning and routine maintenance. This setup works well for interior sliding glass doors, bedrooms, and mid-size balcony openings where sound control matters.

Three Tracks (Three Panels Sliding)

Three Tracks uses three separate rails. Each panel runs on its own track. This allows panels to stack to one side and reaches a maximum opening of about 66% (2/3) of the total width.

This design needs more installation depth, which matches the 135mm frame. It supports wider access, stronger airflow, and larger viewing areas. Three-track systems can also integrate a stainless steel mosquito screen, which helps for ventilation without insects. It is a strong fit for exterior sliding glass doors, large terraces, and villa entrances.

Selection Notes for Double Pane and Waterproof Use

For a double pane sliding glass door, choose based on access and sealing needs. Two Tracks supports tighter closure for a waterproof sliding glass door. Three Tracks supports wider opening and screen integration.

Optional Pack Profiles for the 135D Series Frame

For the 135D Series Aluminum sliding door, DERCHI offers Optional Pack Profiles. These are frame cover and extension parts. They support the installation finish of a modern sliding glass door. Key differences are pack depth (47/70/75/80/100/110 mm) and the profile style. New uses straight lines. European uses a curved edge.

What Pack Profiles Do in a Sliding Door System

Pack profiles help hide the installation gap between the door frame and the wall opening. They cover foam, sealant, and fasteners. This creates a clean edge for both interior sliding glass doors and exterior sliding glass doors.

They also help match different wall builds. Some projects include plaster, insulation, stone cladding, or metal panels. Pack profiles extend the frame face so one glass door system can fit more opening conditions.

Support for Water Control and Sealing

Each pack profile includes a sloped outer surface. This guides rainwater away from the frame line. A deeper pack can also provide a longer sealing path. This helps reduce leakage risk for a waterproof sliding glass door.

How to Choose Pack Depth and Style

47 mm (New 47 Pack): for small gaps and precise openings

70 mm / 75 mm (New 70, New 75): for standard projects and stable closing detail

80 mm (European 80 Pack): for curved styling and softer frame lines

100 mm (New 100 Pack): for thick walls or renovation openings

110 mm (European 110 Pack): for large coverage needs and curved facade design

For a double pane sliding glass door, select the pack based on wall thickness, gap size, and the target finish line.

Size Range Options for the 135D Series Sliding Panels

The 135D Series Aluminum sliding door supports a wide panel size range for a modern sliding glass door layout. This makes it suitable for both residential and light commercial openings, including balcony access and room-to-room partitions.

Panel Width: 580–1500 mm

DERCHI sets the panel width range from 580 mm to 1500 mm. This allows flexible planning for single or multi-panel designs. Narrow panels can support tighter spaces and smaller openings. Wider panels can reduce the number of vertical lines and increase clear viewing area.

Panel Height: 800–2800 mm

Panel height ranges from 800 mm to 2800 mm. This supports standard door heights and tall openings. Taller panels work well for large balconies and full-height glass walls. Shorter panels can be used for compact doors or interior separations.

How This Range Supports Common Use Cases

For a double pane sliding glass door, the size range supports better layout control during project planning. It can be used for exterior sliding glass doors where wide access is needed, or for interior sliding glass doors where space planning matters.

This format also supports sealing design and drainage routing in the frame. When combined with correct installation and hardware selection, it helps build a waterproof sliding glass door solution for daily use.

For each project, match panel size to opening width, ceiling height, and handling needs. This keeps the glass door system aligned with building use and traffic flow.

Glass Configuration Options for the 135D Series

The 135D Series Aluminum sliding door supports multiple glass setups for a modern sliding glass door project. DERCHI provides eight common options. These choices help balance five needs: energy control, safety, sound reduction, solar shading, privacy, and security level. They can be used for both interior sliding glass doors and exterior sliding glass doors.

Core Options for Energy and Comfort

Low-E glass reduces heat transfer through coated surfaces. It is often paired with an insulated glass unit (IGU) for better performance. This setup suits climate zones with heating or air-conditioning demand.

Insulated double glazing is the main solution for a double pane sliding glass door. It supports temperature stability and helps control condensation. For higher performance targets, insulated triple glazing can be selected, but panel weight increases and hardware load must be checked.

Safety and Sound Control Choices

Tempered glass is a standard safety requirement for sliding doors. It breaks into small pieces to reduce injury risk.

For stronger protection and better sound control, laminated glass adds an interlayer film. It holds glass together after impact and helps reduce noise from traffic and public areas.

Shading and Privacy Options

Reflective glass reduces solar gain and increases daytime privacy. It is often used on large facade openings but may reduce indoor brightness.

Tinted glass lowers glare and supports privacy while keeping a softer exterior look than reflective glass.

High Security Projects

Bullet-proof glass is for special security environments. It requires thicker profiles, upgraded hardware, and third-party certification. This option is not common for residential glass door use.

Practical Selection for Waterproof Sliding Door Use

For a waterproof sliding glass door, focus on IGU quality, sealing, and correct installation. A common mix is double glazing + Low-E + tempered glass. For noise or safety upgrades, use laminated + IGU.

Custom Style Options for the 135D Series Sliding Door

The 135D Series Aluminum sliding door supports multiple layout types for a modern sliding glass door project. DERCHI drawings use symbols to show structure: A1 means a sliding panel, F1–F4 means fixed glass panels (often used as top lights), and grid panels indicate an insect screen. Sloped or arched lines show custom-shaped top frames.

Standard Sliding Layouts

For common openings, the system supports 2-panel and 4-panel sliding layouts. A 2-panel format fits smaller balconies, kitchens, and compact doorways. A 4-panel format suits wider openings and supports better traffic flow for exterior sliding glass doors.

Top Light and Height Extension Designs

DERCHI also offers layouts with fixed top lights above the sliding panels. This adds extra height without increasing panel size. It also increases daylight, which supports living rooms and large balcony doors. These formats work well with a double pane sliding glass door configuration.

Special-Shaped Frames and Uneven Openings

For projects with structural limits, the system can use sloped top frames or arched top lights. A stepped top light option can address beam drops or ceiling changes. Side fixed narrow panels or filler panels can help adjust irregular widths while keeping the main sliding panel size usable.

Screen Panel Options for Ventilation

Some 4-panel and 2-panel layouts can include screen panels. This supports airflow while reducing insects. It is useful for bedrooms and large balconies where daily ventilation is required, including interior sliding glass doors that open to enclosed terraces.

Selection Notes for Waterproof Use

For a waterproof sliding glass door, confirm the layout, track type, and sealing plan during design. DERCHI can match the panel count, fixed sections, and screen needs to the site opening and daily use pattern.
