Aluminium Sliding Doors

An aluminum sliding door is a horizontally sliding door made of a sturdy aluminum frame that is known for its durability, slim profiles, and modern aesthetic. These doors are designed to slide open smoothly, often on high-quality rollers, and are used to provide access to outdoor spaces like balconies or patios, as well as act as room dividers. Key features include a space-saving design, enhanced natural light, energy efficiency, and weather resistance. 

Key features and characteristics

  • Sliding mechanism: The door panels slide horizontally on a track, typically using high-quality rollers or wheels for a smooth, quiet operation that doesn't require extra swing space.
  • Space-saving design: Because they don't require a large swing radius like traditional hinged doors, they are ideal for rooms with limited floor area.
  • Aesthetics: They have a sleek, modern look with slim frames that maximize the glass area, providing expansive views and a sense of openness. They are also available in various colors and finishes to match different decor styles.
  • Durability: Aluminum is corrosion-resistant, weather-resistant, and not susceptible to warping or pest damage, making it a long-lasting option, especially in harsh climates.
  • Natural light and ventilation: The large glass panels allow for abundant natural light and can provide fresh airflow when open.
  • Energy efficiency: Many can be configured with energy-efficient glass and thermal breaks to improve insulation, reduce heat transfer, and help lower energy costs.
  • Security: They can be fitted with a variety of locks and hardware, and specialized systems like "lift and slide" doors can offer enhanced security and weather performance by lifting the door panel onto the rollers before sliding.
  • Versatility: They are used in both residential and commercial settings and can be configured in different ways, such as two-track or three-track systems, to suit specific needs.
