[China Aluminum Industry Network] Changing the sliding door usually involves adding a decorative panel between the outer frame and the door core. This additional layer not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the sliding door but also gives it a more solid and wooden look, making it resemble a real solid wood door. So, is this type of sliding door expensive? Yes, it is considered a mid-to-high-end product in the sliding door market, which means the price tends to be higher. However, the actual cost isn't that high. Although there are more conversion bars involved, the overall cost remains reasonable because the increase in aluminum material prices is offset by the reduced cost of the door core. Typically, these doors use clear glass rather than technical or tinted glass, keeping the production expenses low. As a result, this style has become popular among both retailers and consumers in the market.

Making a sliding door with conversion bars is definitely possible. While the cost isn’t excessive, the manufacturing process is still quite labor-intensive. The conversion bar is cut at a 45-degree angle, and its shape is often irregular, making it challenging to cut precisely with a machine. Below, I’ll share some practical tips and experiences that might help you better understand the process.
One of the biggest challenges in making such a door is accurately cutting and aligning the conversion bars. Due to their irregular shapes, ensuring precision and symmetry can be quite difficult.
First, you need to calculate the dimensions of the top, middle, and bottom crossbars. These should be roughly the same size. For example, if the cross-section is 800mm long, the conversion bar should be cut slightly longer—around 900mm. It shouldn't be too short, as that would make it easier to saw but less precise. Place the two conversion bars on the horizontal frame, preferably secured with screws. Then, position them on the saw at a 45-degree angle, similar to how you'd cut vegetables. Make sure the cut lines align perfectly with the horizontal frame. This ensures both accurate measurements and symmetrical bevels at the joints.
Once the conversion bars are cut, they are connected to the horizontal frame. The same process applies to the mullion box—cutting the bars to match the required size. Start by cutting the horizontal frame first, then use it as a reference to cut the conversion bars accordingly.
Finally, the assembly begins. This type of door is typically assembled corner by corner, ensuring a seamless fit and a professional finish.
