Swing gates
Also called ‘opening gate’, the swing gate consists of two leaves (equal or unequal), whose direction of opening can be from the inside or the outside. It therefore requires significant clearance for the opening of its leaves.
-
Sliding gates
These types of gate are particularly suitable for small spaces thanks to its lateral opening. However, it is necessary to provide for a lateral space, greater than the width of the gate, so that it can be properly opened. Sliding gates are also adaptable on a sloping surface as well as for difficult access close to public roads.

Steel or Aluminium, advantages and disadvantages
Steel or iron gates provide important durability over time. However, this material has the disadvantage of generating a significant weight. And it is also necessary to ensure its quality of its galvanised finish, so as to avoid any appearance of corrosion. Aluminium gates offer an undeniable advantage as they are both solid and light but also stainless. On the other hand, aluminium gates are generally more expensive.
