Why Choose Gladiator Sliding Glass Doors? – FAQ
When investing in high-quality sliding glass doors, it's essential to select a product that meets strict U.S. building standards, offers superior durability, and provides maximum energy efficiency. Many online sellers cut corners, offering cheap, imported doors that fail inspections, lack wind resistance, and require costly modifications upon installation.
At Gladiator Window and Doors, we take pride in manufacturing certified, high-performance sliding glass doors designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the beauty of your home or business.
What Makes Gladiator Sliding Glass Doors Better Than Competitors?
1. Industry-Leading Wind Load Resistance
✅ Our doors have a 4500 Pa (4.5 kPa) wind load resistance, making them 5x stronger than the industry standard of just 800 Pa.
✅ Designed to withstand hurricanes, storms, and high-wind environments without structural failure.
❌ Many competitors sell doors with weak frames and glass that cannot handle high winds, putting your home at risk.
2. Heavy-Duty Aluminum Frame Construction
✅ We use 2.2mm-thick 6063-T5 aluminum frames, engineered for maximum durability and longevity.
✅ Resistant to bending, warping, and long-term wear, even in extreme weather conditions.
❌ Many competitors use thin, low-quality aluminum (1.2-1.4mm thick) that bends and deteriorates over time.
3. Advanced Thermal Break Technology for Energy Efficiency
✅ Our doors feature 5+27A+5mm double-tempered glass with argon gas insulation, ensuring superior energy efficiency.
✅ Keeps homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing energy costs.
❌ Many competitors use thin single-pane glass without insulation, leading to heat loss and high energy bills.
4. Stainless Steel Track System for Smooth Operation
✅ We use SUS304 stainless steel tracks, ensuring smooth sliding, long-term durability, and rust resistance.
✅ Designed for easy operation and minimal maintenance.
❌ Many competitors use cheap aluminum tracks that rust, deteriorate, and cause sliding issues over time.
5. Fully Enclosed Wooden Crate Packaging for Maximum Protection
✅ Every order is professionally crated in a high-strength wooden box, costing us nearly $1,000 per order, to ensure your door arrives in perfect condition.
✅ Protects against shifting, impact damage, and exposure to elements during transit.
❌ Many sellers use open-frame crating, leading to damaged deliveries, costly returns, and installation delays.
6. Waterproof & Airtight Sealing for Longevity
✅ Features a three-seal system and hidden drainage design, preventing water leaks and air infiltration.
✅ Ideal for coastal, high-humidity, and extreme weather environments.
❌ Many competitors lack proper weatherproof sealing, leading to water damage, mold, and poor insulation over time.
7. U.S. Building Code Compliance – Guaranteed
✅ Our doors are fully tested and certified to meet U.S. national and local building codes.
✅ You can verify these certifications in our product images.
❌ Many online sellers offer imported doors that do not meet U.S. regulations, leading to failed inspections and costly modifications.
