What You Need To Know About Aluminium Sliding Doors

If you want to create the perfect garden view and want convenient garden access, you can find out more about PVCu patio doors or engineered timber sliding doors. Aluminium remains our most popular material for sliding doors for many great reasons. Here is everything you need to know about aluminium sliding doors for your home.

Bifolding doors open up the entire wall but divide the glass with the doors closed. Sliding doors, on the other hand, are neater in the closed position and give you bigger glass panels, more light and better views outside.

Sliding doors are suitable for door openings both big and small, but they work particularly well in bigger sizes. Sliding doors can be used where a more expansive wall of sliding glass is desired, up to 12 metres or more. Sliding doors also work best in locations with higher ceilings than bifolding doors, as they have higher clearances.

More glass, less sliding panels with aluminium sliding doors.

Patio doors now come in wider widths and heights than before. Where previous patio doors had to be several panels for large door openings, newer models can use fewer panels. Where old patio doors needed four panels for a typical opening, modern doors require just two sliding panels.

Modern sliding doors are more flexible than ever before. They can slide to the left or right with multiple tracks and stack on one side. This increases the opening size in comparison to a double track sliding door.

Sliding doors are independently tested to ensure they offer safety and security. They have multi-point locking systems and anti-lift features built in, and laminated safety glass can enhance their strength even further.
