A swing door opens inward or outward on hinges as a single panel, requiring ample space to open fully, which can be problematic in smaller rooms. On the other hand, slide doors are made up of multiple panels that slide open and closed on tracks, and the New Wave Leggera's design allows for even smoother operation. The panels can slide to one or both sides, requiring minimal space to open, making it a great option for tight spaces or where there is limited clearance for a swinging door. The Leggera, the latest addition to the New Wave Doors aluminum slide and swing family, operates differently from traditional hinged doors. Swing doors and slide doors both offer easy access to the outdoors, but the Leggera features upgrades to a door system that is already proven to be reliable, usable, and secure.
