What are the advantages of aluminium sliding doors over uPVC or timber?


Aluminium sliding doors offer slimmer frames, greater durability, and superior thermal efficiency compared to uPVC or timber alternatives. They’re ideal for modern homes across Essex and the South East, combining strength, style, and low maintenance.

Can sliding doors be customised to suit my home?


Absolutely. Choose from multiple panel configurations, opening styles, colours, and hardware options to create a design that complements your home perfectly.

Do you offer surveys and installation across Essex?


Yes. We offer professional site surveys and expert installation across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Southend, and the wider Essex area, ensuring precision fit and flawless performance every time.

How energy efficient are your aluminium sliding doors?


Our sliding glass doors feature thermally broken aluminium profiles and high-performance glazing to minimise heat loss. This ensures your home stays comfortable year-round while potentially reducing energy bills.

Are aluminium sliding doors secure?


Yes — all of our sliding doors are built with multi-point locking systems, toughened safety glass, and robust aluminium frames for maximum protection. Many models are tested to PAS24 standards, offering complete peace of mind for homeowners.

Can aluminium sliding doors be used for large openings?


Definitely. Our precision-engineered systems are designed for wide-span glass panels, allowing you to create panoramic views and a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces.

Do sliding glass doors require much maintenance?


Not at all. Aluminium frames are powder-coated for lasting protection, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep them looking pristine. The high-quality track systems are designed for smooth, long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
