Of course, the appeal this has on the eye can also not be overlooked.  Bow  Bow windows serve the same purpose as bay windows; major difference being that they are typically larger.  Usually, bow windows have five panels, which cause them to curve like a bow instead of appearing more rigid like a bay window. The size makes them a prominent feature in your room, so it's important that you have the wall space to incorporate them, and that the amount of light and exposure they’re built to allow in won’t be uncomfortable for you.

Sliding Doors: How To Maintain Their Functionality And Reliability  Test existing lock  Just like traditional doors, most sliding doors are fitted with a lock on either side to keep the door fixed to the frame at will. Make sure that you choose a sliding door with functioning lock. Once the lock becomes faulty, ensure you repair or replace as the case may be. To correct any lapses, you can hire a professional door installation company to help you increase the security level of the door so that you can feel safe with the lock always.  Slide locking bar  Being indoors with a well secured and safe door helps you to keep intruders away and by extension, a peaceful rest.

15. Sliding Doors: How To Maintain Their Functionality And Reliability  Rollers and door tracks  The 'railway tracks' of the door known as rollers and door tracks are quite as important as the door itself. This is because the doors rely on then for sliding motion. Any damage will affect the operations of the door. Regular maintenance practices like cleaning of debris in the track and occasional adjustments for fitness should be done.  Tracks  In addition, occasional lubrication of the door tracks and rollers ensure an even smoother operation. Aerosol lubricants are the most suitable types. In fact, you can clean specks of dirt in door locks and coat them with the lubricant to prevent rust and damage. Nonetheless, this requires the disengagement of the lock by a professional door installer.  Commercial lock  The reliability and security of the door are two functionalities that are determined by a suitable commercial lock. Commercial locks are the best substitutes for damaged latch locks. Depending on the height of the sliding door, these locks should be installed to supplement latch locks too. Commercial locks comprise steel bolts and a bolt locking system, both of which fall right into place. For extra security, an alarm system should be installed on the door.
