Is an aluminium sliding door a good fit for your home in Lurgan?
The right door depends on the opening, the room and the way you use the garden. Here is how aluminium sliding doors tend to work out in practice:
Where a Lurgan property already has aluminium windows, matching the door colour and frame profile keeps the back of the house looking consistent.
Thinking about a dark frame for a house in Lurgan? Anthracite grey and black powder coats show off slim aluminium sightlines, and dual colour keeps the inside lighter if you prefer.
- 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.
- Narrow aluminium frames and meeting stiles put more of the opening into glass, so you see more garden and less frame than with a uPVC door of the same size.
- Aluminium is stiff enough to carry wide panels without bowing, which keeps the number of vertical frames low even across openings of four, five or six metres.
How much sun will a door in Lurgan get?
At the latitude of Lurgan, the midday sun climbs to about 59° in late June but only about 12° in late December, when daylight lasts around 7 h 17 min against 17 h 15 min in midsummer. A south-facing aluminium sliding door lets that low winter sun deep into the room; on a west or south elevation, solar-control glass keeps summer afternoons comfortable.

From survey to fitted door in Lurgan
Once the opening is measured, nothing is ordered until you sign off the specification. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks from survey sign-off. Our fitters protect floors, remove the old door, install and seal the new one and leave the area clean — usually 1 day for a two-panel straight swap; 1–2 days for larger doors for a door like this. Lurgan is in an area we cover by arrangement: the survey is still free, and survey dates, delivery and any travel cost for delivery and fitting are confirmed in your quote before you order.
Do you need approval in Lurgan?
In Northern Ireland, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply through your district council's building control service, with energy guidance in Technical Booklet F1. Work in Northern Ireland is by arrangement, and we confirm the approval route for your property at survey.

Questions about aluminium sliding doors in Lurgan
How soon can you survey in Lurgan?
Survey dates in the BT66 district 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 wide can an aluminium sliding door be?
An aluminium sliding door in our range can span from about 1.5 m to 6 m, split into two to four panels. Each panel is usually up to about 2.5–3 m wide depending on the system and the weight of the glass. Wider openings take more panels, and beyond about 6 m a multi-track or lift and slide system is usually the more practical choice.
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.
