Sliding Gates: Features and Advantages

Ease of Use

During opening and closing, sliding gates seem to glide through the air. But this airiness of the design is deceptive. In fact, gates of this type are extremely durable and can last for many decades. For greater convenience, they are equipped with automation. Gate automation performed by specialists simplifies their opening and closing, eliminating the need to move the leaf manually. Thanks to design improvements, this task is performed by an electric drive; you just need to press a button on the remote control.

Just a few years ago, components for sliding systems were prohibitively expensive, and buying an electric drive was considered a luxury. Today, sliding gates in Krasnodar can be seen everywhere. They are installed at the entrances to factories and plants, near private houses.

Other Advantages

Main advantages of sliding gates:

• durability;
• no need to constantly lubricate the mechanism;
• stylish design.

The lower mounting of the cantilever system allows sliding gates to be used even in areas with severe winter frosts. Unlike swing gates, sliding systems are more reliable. They rarely break, do not sag, and the automation used in their installation has a huge service life.

Installation Nuances

Before purchasing sliding gates in Krasnodar and undertaking their installation, you need to calculate the required width of the structure. Remember, the narrower the street, the wider the gates should be. The sliding distance of the leaf is calculated based on the width of the gate.

When starting to install the product, the first thing to do is to mount support posts made of concrete, brick, oak timber, or steel pipe. The support post must be buried in the ground at least 1 meter and filled with concrete. After that, you need to wait about a week for the solution to harden. Then the roller supports, gate leaf, and automation are installed.

Installation work should be performed by qualified specialists – they will not make miscalculations and will do everything efficiently and quickly.
