Pivot Doors
Pivot doors add a bold, architectural touch to homes in Cairns. Built with a central pivoting hinge instead of standard side hinges, they allow for wide, smooth entry with a minimal frame. These custom designs work well for feature entryways or oversized front doors. We fabricate each door to your exact specifications using durable aluminium and quality glazing. With proper sealing and expert installation, they’re built to last in Cairns’ coastal environment. Contact us to discuss a pivot door solution.
Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-fold doors are a practical and stylish choice for homeowners in Cairns seeking to open up their living areas. With panels that fold neatly to one side, they create wide openings to patios, gardens or entertaining areas. We custom build bi-fold systems using strong aluminium frames and quality glass suited to the tropics. Whether you want a two-panel setup or a full wall of glass, we’ll tailor the design to your space. Get in touch to plan your Cairns installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can residential glass be made more energy efficient?
Yes, residential glass can significantly improve energy efficiency when the right products are chosen. Energy-efficient glass options include double glazing, tinted panels and low-emissivity (low-E) coatings. These treatments help reduce heat transfer and glare, making homes cooler in summer and more comfortable throughout the year. This also lowers the reliance on air conditioning and helps reduce energy costs. Glass performance can be further enhanced with correct framing and installation techniques, including sealed edges and suitable frame materials. In warm climates or sun-exposed homes, upgrading to energy-efficient glazing is one of the most effective ways to increase comfort and sustainability.
How often should windows and doors be replaced?
There’s no strict timeline for replacing windows or doors, but certain signs suggest when it's time. These include visible damage, difficult operation, air leaks, water intrusion or noticeable rattling during strong winds. Older windows may lack insulation or no longer meet safety standards. Replacing outdated frames and glass with newer, better-performing materials can enhance comfort, security and efficiency. Homeowners may also choose to upgrade for aesthetic reasons, noise reduction or to comply with changing building codes. In areas with extreme weather or high humidity, modern aluminium frames and safety glass provide excellent long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
Are sliding doors or bi-fold doors better for residential spaces?
Sliding and bi-fold doors both offer great functionality, but the best choice depends on your layout and needs. Sliding doors operate along a track, requiring minimal space to open and close, making them ideal for compact areas or patios. They provide a wide view and allow natural light to flow in. Bi-fold doors fold neatly to one side, opening up an entire wall for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. They are perfect for larger openings and make spaces feel more connected. Both styles can be fitted with toughened glass and aluminium frames to ensure safety, durability and a seamless appearance.
