Extension sliding door

3 years ago

Hi,
We are planning to do extension early next year and we are looking for a company which produces sliding doors. We really like the one on the picture that I have attached. Could you please recommend any companies that specialize with this type of doors. The length of the door should be 4m by 2.1m.
Thank you

My sister has similar sliders at the back of her house but three lots of sliders (it’s a big wall!). I’ll ask her who she used.

There is no right or wrong answer - and as suppliers and installers of award winning versions of both bifold AND sliding door systems we have no bias towards one or the other. Our teams install nationally, from Shetland to the Channel Islands...and everywhere in between. When we get asked this question by customers there are a number of initial things we would ask to try and make some recommendations - and we have written a blog all about these. Probably the most valuable question is realistically how often are you likely to have the doors fully open. Our SF55 aluminium bifold doors can be manufactured up to 1.1m wide and have an industry leading narrow sightline of 115mm (the amount of frame visible when closed) and over a 29' 6" run of 9x1m panels you will have 8 intermediate frames totalling 920mm of aluminium. We do two aluminium sliding door systems the Grand Slider (83mm sightlines) or our award winning theEDGE (narrow 24mm sightline) - both can take glass sizes of up to 3m wide so over a 9m run of 3x3m panels you will have 166mm of intermediate aluminium visible with the Grand Slider and just 48mm visible with theEDGE. So if your doors are closed more often than open there is significantly less frame than glass in sliding doors - maximising your views - however the trade off is that unless you opt for a pocket slider you are not able to open a sliding door completely to create a total 9m opening like you are with bifold doors - you would only open 6m of the 7m (or 6.75m if you went for four sliding door panels). In terms of thermal performance both SF55 and the sliding door systems can be double or triple glazed and achieve pretty similar U-Values and in terms of price the SF55 and Grand Slider systems work out to be almost identical - although theEDGE is a bit more because of the advanced engineering required to create such a narrow profile. There is also the option of the SF75 bifold door which has a U-Value of 0.9W/m2K which is the lowest of any aluminium system on the market. Given your location and your views, my personal recommendation would be sliding doors, because you maximise your views even when closed - but it is whatever is best for you and it may well be a combination of sliding doors and fixed frames provide the perfect and cost effective solution. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask and good luck with your project!

I think slim line sliding doors look more modern and you'll get more view of your garden. We were going to have bifolds but have now decided on sliding doors. Our opening is 4m and planning to have 3 doors. As your opening is quite large, you could have 3 door and once they are opened, you will still get a good size opening. We're having 35mm profiles but I think you can get even thinner ones. Are you have a flat roof or pitched roof?

My sister’s window fitters were Harpenden Windows (in Herts) and the make is Reyners. She thinks Kloeber use Reyners too. Hope this helps!

We’ve just got ours delivered from https://www.expressbifolds.co.uk as we were looking for slimline sliders. They do bespoke sizing. Best price we found and great customer service. My husband is in the trade so we purchased supply only so not sure about supply & fit pricing, unfortunately.

Good luck with your extension.
