Aluminium sliding doors across County Antrim
Most homeowners choosing aluminium sliding doors want the same things: more light, a clear view and a door that is easy to live with.
Thinking about a dark frame for a house in County Antrim? Anthracite grey and black powder coats show off slim aluminium sightlines, and dual colour keeps the inside lighter if you prefer.
For a south- or west-facing garden in County Antrim, solar-control glass in the sliding panels can keep a glazed room more comfortable on summer afternoons.
- Panels run on adjustable tandem rollers along a hard-wearing track, so even a heavy double or triple glazed panel can be opened smoothly with one hand.
- Multi-point hook locks grip the frame at several points along the closing edge, while anti-lift blocks stop a shut panel being raised off its track from outside.
- Brush and gasket weather seals along every meeting edge, together with drainage slots in the outer track, carry rainwater away instead of letting it collect against the panels.

Daylight and glass in County Antrim
Sun angles matter for big glazed doors. Around County Antrim, midday sun reaches about 59° in summer and drops to about 12° in winter. That low winter sun is free heat through south-facing glass; high summer sun is easier to shade with a roof overhang, and solar-control glass helps where there is none.

Questions about aluminium sliding doors in County Antrim
How soon can you survey in County Antrim?
Survey dates in County Antrim are arranged individually when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 4–6 weeks from survey sign-off.
How much do aluminium sliding doors cost?
Aluminium sliding doors start from a guide price of £3,295 for a 1.5 m two-panel door, fitted, inc VAT, at standard 2.1 m height. A 2.4 m door is a guide £4,295–£5,295, and a 4.8 m four-panel door is around £6,995. Glass, colour and threshold choices move the price within the range, and the final figure is fixed in a written quote after survey.
How do you look after aluminium sliding doors?
Aluminium sliding doors need little care: wash the frames with mild soapy water a few times a year, vacuum grit out of the bottom track and keep the drainage slots clear. A light silicone spray on the locking points once a year keeps them smooth, and rollers can be adjusted if a panel starts to drag. Manufacturer guarantees on frames, hardware and sealed units are passed to you, and our workmanship guarantee is set out in writing in your quote.
How long do aluminium sliding doors take to arrive?
Aluminium sliding doors typically take 4–6 weeks to make after you sign off the surveyed specification, because each door is built to measure and powder coated to order. Fitting a straight swap of a two-panel door typically takes 1 day, and larger doors 1–2 days. These are typical times rather than promises, and we confirm a date once the order is placed.
