Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors

Our aluminium sliding patio doors feature a direct glazed fixed light, removing the need for a fixed dummy sash and providing a sleeker, more modern aesthetic. This design not only enhances the glass-to-frame ratio, allowing for more natural light and uninterrupted views, but also improves thermal efficiency by reducing unnecessary framing. This streamlined approach creates a cleaner, more contemporary finish while maintaining the durability and high performance expected from aluminium systems.

With an interlock as slim as 35mm, the Stellar Sliding Patio Door offers some of the narrowest sightlines on the market. This design maximizes the glass area, allowing more natural light to flood into the living space and providing uninterrupted views of the outdoors.

Our range of garden patio doors in aluminium are made using powder-coated profile from Stellar Aluminium Systems, a brand of Epwin Window Systems. Powder coating involves the application of dry powder to the aluminium, which is then cured under heat to create a uniform finish. This coating serves as a protective barrier against harsh weather conditions, significantly prolonging the lifespan of our doors.

Modern aluminium doors such as our Stellar patio doors feature a thermal break – which in our case is made from polyamide which is a non-conductive material inserted between the inner and outer parts of the aluminium frame to reduce thermal transmittance.

The inline sliding design of our Stellar Aluminium door offers a user-friendly experience. This design allows the door panels to slide smoothly along a horizontal track, minimising effort and maximising accessibility. Inline sliding doors are particularly advantageous in spaces where floor space is limited, as they do not require additional clearance for the door to open, like Quickslide’s bifold doors.

Our aluminium sliding patio doors come with a 200mm cill as standard, providing a sturdy and well-proportioned base for the door frame.

For projects requiring a shorter overhang, a 150mm cill is available. Please note, the 150mm cill requires a frame extension on the back to properly support the outer frame, ensuring the door’s strength and stability remain uncompromised.

Our aluminium sliding patio doors are designed for hassle-free installation, featuring pre-gasketed, knock-in beads that eliminate the need for time-consuming glazing adjustments on-site. This allows for a quick, precise, and professional fit, reducing the margin for error while enhancing both efficiency and aesthetics. Combining installer-friendly design with premium performance, these doors streamline the fitting process without compromising on quality.

Our aluminium sliding patio doors are manufactured with the purpose of being able to slide smoothly with large and heavy glass panels. The door panels are mounted on rollers that glide along a horizontal track, allowing the panels to slide parallel to a wall. This design not only saves space but also makes it easy to use.

Building regulations state that most glazing elements require trickle vents. Fitting trickle vents in windows or doors improves indoor air quality and allows airflow even when windows are closed. Trickle vents ensure that that modern buildings meet ventilation standards by balancing insulation properties with adequate airflow throughout the home. We use link vents (5000EA each), which require a 36mm add-on across and above the outer frame.
