Sliding Doors in uPVC

What Are Sliding Doors?

Sliding doors are large glazed door systems designed to open horizontally along a track, providing wide, uninterrupted views and easy access to outdoor areas. Known for their slim profiles and smooth operation, sliding doors are ideal for modern homes where space, light, and connection to the outdoors are key design priorities.

Benefits of Sliding Door Design

Sliding doors maximise natural light and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Whether you’re opening onto a garden, terrace, or balcony, they offer unobstructed views, excellent insulation, and smooth operation.
