Sliding door frames are a critical structural component in modern construction where space efficiency, alignment accuracy, and long-term durability are essential. Unlike conventional hinged systems, sliding installations demand frames with high dimensional stability and precise engineering. This has led to increased adoption of PPGI sliding door frames in residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Manvik Door Frames is a specialized manufacturer focused exclusively on PPGI door frames and window frames, delivering factory-engineered sliding door frame solutions built for consistent performance and fast installation.
Role of Sliding Door Frames in Structural Performance
A sliding door frame is responsible for maintaining alignment, supporting sliding panels, and ensuring smooth operation over time. Any deviation in frame geometry can lead to jamming, uneven movement, or premature wear.
Properly engineered sliding door frames ensure:
-
Accurate track alignment
-
Load distribution across wall openings
-
Smooth sliding performance
-
Long-term dimensional stability
This makes frame quality a decisive factor in sliding door system reliability.
Why PPGI Is Used for Sliding Door Frames
Manvik manufactures sliding door frames using Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron (PPGI), a steel material specifically suited for construction environments.
Technical advantages of PPGI sliding door frames include:
-
Zinc-coated steel base for corrosion resistance
-
Factory-applied multi-layer paint coating
-
Termite-proof and moisture-resistant structure
-
No swelling, shrinking, or cracking
-
Uniform thickness and surface finish
Manvik does not manufacture uPVC or plastic frames, ensuring superior structural strength and fire-resistance compliance.
