Choosing new aluminium sliding patio doors can be a tricky task so we have put together some popular FAQ, which you may find helpful.
Our bifold doors and sliding patio doors both have unique benefits. Bifold can open up the whole space, but sliding patio doors have more glass and less frame.
Yes you can. The trick is for our fitters to meet your builder on site before the extension is built so we can discuss floor levels with him.
We have recently installed our Visoglide penthouse plus on the 15th floor of a block of flats, so yes. We would use 6mm glass and a heavy duty interlocker for extra precautions of weather proofing.
It depends on whether you are in a conservation area or not, You will need to check this with your local authority, but usually this will not be necessary.
We will fit either 4mm or 6mm glass in double glazed units depending on the size of the patios. You can also have laminate glass for extra acoustic effect. You can also have sunguard or self-cleaning glass on request, They will be argon gas filled, planitherm coated and have a warm edge spacer.
While pvc-u sliding door s are definitely cheaper, aluminium sliding patio doors have much slimmer sight lines and are stronger, so they can be made with larger width and height sashes.
We recommend going out or being away while we are installing your new patios so that we can keep disruption to a minimum. We will make good any damage to plaster work up to decorating standard.
We have high security multi-point locking, anti-lift blocks, key locking handles and high security internally glazed sealed units.
If it is in an extension, then you have to have them. If you are replacing like for like then they are not obligatory, but we would recommend them to reduce condensation.
As our aluminium sliding patios are powder coated you can have them in any RAL colour, you can even have dual colour, that is different colour inside and out, if you wish!
