What aluminium sliding doors offer homes in Coleraine
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering aluminium sliding doors for a home in Coleraine:
Where a Coleraine property already has aluminium windows, matching the door colour and frame profile keeps the back of the house looking consistent.
For a south- or west-facing garden in Coleraine, solar-control glass in the sliding panels can keep a glazed room more comfortable on summer afternoons.
- Because the panels slide rather than swing, nothing opens into the room or across the patio, leaving space for a dining table, sofa or planters right up to the glass.
- Polyester powder coating is baked onto the aluminium in the factory, giving a hard, even colour that resists fading and chalking and does not need repainting in normal use.
- 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.
How much sun will a door in Coleraine get?
Sun angles matter for big glazed doors. Around Coleraine, midday sun reaches about 58° in summer and drops to about 11° 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 Coleraine
Do you fit aluminium sliding doors in Coleraine?
Yes, by arrangement. Coleraine 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.
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.
Are aluminium sliding doors secure?
Aluminium sliding doors can be very secure when they combine multi-point hook locks, anti-lift blocks and laminated glass. Systems are available tested to PAS 24, the UK enhanced security standard for doorsets, and an enhanced security locking pack can be added to your quote. Most systems are glazed from the inside, so the glass cannot be unclipped from outside.
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.
