Frequently Asked Questions about Sliding Doors

What types of sliding doors are available?

Sliding doors are available in several types and designs, depending on the number of panels you have and how you want them to slide. Available are sliding doors starting at one panel with a fixed window, and two, three or four panel sliding doors designed on up to three tracks. You can even have fixed and open corner sliding doors and pocket doors that slide out of sight into a new extension wall.

What is the main advantage of a sliding door?

Space saving is the first advantage of investing in a sliding door for your home because the doors slide on their tracks and don’t take up any space when open. The other advantage of sliding doors is that they come with bigger glass sizes than French or bifold doors and less visible aluminium. More glass means more of a glass wall feel, with fewer visual distractions, better views and a feeling of light and space.

Do I need planning permission for new sliding doors?

If you are adding sliding doors to your home or replacing a dated set of doors, you generally do not require planning permission, nor do you require permission if you fall within ‘permitted development’. Your Local Authority can advise you better, depending on your location and project plans, or you can get in touch for more information and advice.

Are there any disadvantages to sliding doors?

No, modern sliding doors give you all the security, energy efficiency, style and weather protection of all modern patio door types. The only consideration with a sliding door is that it will always take up some of your available door aperture when open. Two panel sliding doors take up around half. Three panel sliding doors take up about one-third.

How much do sliding doors cost?

The size, colour, glass type, and handle options you choose, as well as the track type and where it is being installed, all affect the sliding door price. That is why these types of doors are priced individually for you. It’s easy to get even a budget costing or an accurate quotation, so do get in touch and we can help.
