Sliding Patio Doors
Bringing light, space, and views into your home
Sliding doors are a versatile and stylish architectural feature that unite functionality with aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional hinged doors, they glide effortlessly along a track, making them an ideal solution for spaces where efficiency, elegance, and practicality are essential.
Sliding doors are particularly effective in optimising space, as they require no swing clearance. This makes them well suited to smaller rooms, wardrobes, and compact apartments. Larger sliding glass designs are often chosen to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas, allowing natural light to flood interiors while providing uninterrupted views of gardens, patios, or balconies.
Available in a wide range of materials and finishes — uPVC, uPVC timber-look, aluminium and timber — sliding doors offer a sleek, contemporary appearance that complements modern architecture. Their smooth operation also makes them a practical option for individuals with mobility challenges, as they demand minimal effort to open and close.
In both homes and workplaces, sliding doors can balance openness with privacy. Frosted or opaque finishes are a popular choice, while designs incorporating soundproofing features help reduce noise transfer between spaces. Energy-efficient models with insulated glazing and advanced sealing technology further improve thermal performance, reducing energy costs while enhancing comfort.

Patio sliding doors are commonly offered in materials such as aluminium (often with thermal breaks), uPVC, and timber. As for glazing, double glazing is standard in most systems, but triple glazing (or upgrades with better insulation, low‑E coatings, or laminated glass) can also be chosen for enhanced thermal and acoustic performance.
Patio sliding doors can consist of anywhere from two up to six panels (or more, depending on the system).Configurations include: One fixed panel + one sliding panel; Multiple sliding panels (on twin or triple track systems); Lift‑and‑slide options, which lift the panel slightly before sliding for easier operation; Pocket or corner sliding designs, where panels slide into wall pockets or away around a corner to maximize openness.
Sliding doors can be very energy efficient when properly specified. Key contributing factors include good insulation in the frame (for example, thermal breaks in aluminium frames) and high-performance glazing (double or triple, with low‑E coatings).
Weather resistance depends on effective sealing, drainage, well-designed thresholds, and quality manufacturing. Poor drainage or inadequate design can lead to issues like drafts or water ingress, so it is critical to choose a system tested for air, water, and wind performance.
Quality patio sliding doors often come with multi‑point locking systems, anti‑lift mechanisms, and options for laminated or toughened glass to improve resistance against forced entry.
Doors can also be built to meet standards such as PAS 24 or other security certification requirements.
Maintenance:
Regular upkeep helps keep sliding doors operating smoothly. This includes keeping the tracks clean and free of debris, as dirt and obstruction can affect performance. It’s also important to lubricate the rollers and other moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure effortless operation. Periodic inspections should be carried out to identify and replace any worn seals or gaskets that may compromise insulation or weather resistance. Finally, doors should be checked for smooth alignment and adjusted as necessary over time to maintain optimal functionality.
