Aluminium sliding doors for London homes.
Large panes and slim frames, made to measure and fitted by our own team.
What they do
A window you can walk through
A sliding door keeps the glass in large, uninterrupted panes and moves one panel behind another, so the frames stay out of the view. That matters most for the nine months of the year when the doors are shut and you're looking through them rather than walking through them — no stack of folded panels sitting in the corner of the opening, just glass. The trade is that one panel always overlaps another, so you never open the full width. If you want the whole wall to clear, bifolds do that better.
How ours are built
Slim interlock
The interlock is the upright where two panels overlap. Keeping it narrow is the difference between a view broken by a post and a view broken by a line.
Running gear sized to the glass
Large panes are heavy. Rollers and tracks are specified to the weight of the glass they carry, so the doors still run properly in ten years.
Flush threshold available
The track can be set into the floor so the inside and outside surfaces run level — worth doing where the patio and the room are on the same plane.
Any RAL colour
Powder-coated inside and out, and a different colour on each face if the room and the garden call for different things.
Common questions
How many panels can slide?
It depends how the run is configured. A two-panel set usually has one fixed and one sliding; larger runs can have more panels moving and stack to one side or split both ways. We work the configuration out at survey, based on where you want the opening to be and which way you want to walk through it.
Can I have a threshold I don't trip over?
Yes — the track can be recessed into the floor so the finished surfaces run level inside and out. It needs to be planned before the floor is laid, so tell us early if you want it. Where the floor is already finished, a low-profile upstand threshold is the usual alternative.
Sliding or bifold — which suits my opening?
Sliding doors keep bigger panes and fewer frames, so the view is better when the doors are closed. Bifolds clear the whole opening, so the room opens completely when they're not. If you spend more time looking through the opening than walking through it, sliding usually wins.
