Why choose aluminium sliding doors in Dungiven?
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose aluminium sliding doors for a home in Dungiven:
Thinking about a dark frame for a house in Dungiven? 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 Dungiven, solar-control glass in the sliding panels can keep a glazed room more comfortable on summer afternoons.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Sunlight, glass and orientation in Dungiven
Because Dungiven sees long summer days (about 17 h 21 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 11 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 12° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.

From survey to fitted door in Dungiven
Surveys in the BT47 district are booked at a time that suits you. After you approve the quote, manufacture is typically 4–6 weeks from survey sign-off; on fitting day the old door comes out, the new frame is set level and sealed, and the panels are adjusted so they glide properly. Fitting usually takes 1 day for a two-panel straight swap; 1–2 days for larger doors. Dungiven 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 Dungiven?
Building control in Northern Ireland is run by district councils under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). We take on work in Northern Ireland by arrangement and confirm what approval your door needs before anything is ordered.
Choosing the specification
- Panel configuration. Two, three or four panels, with the sliding panel on the left, right or both sides to suit how you use the room.
- Glass. Double or triple glazed units in toughened or laminated safety glass, with solar-control or self-cleaning coatings.
- Handles and locks. Slim pull handles or lever handles in matching or contrasting finishes, with an enhanced security locking pack available.
Questions about aluminium sliding doors in Dungiven
Do you fit aluminium sliding doors in Dungiven?
Yes, by arrangement. Dungiven 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 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.
Should I choose aluminium sliding doors or bifolds?
Choose aluminium sliding doors if you want the most glass and fewest frames when the door is closed, and bifolds if you want almost the whole width open in summer. A slider keeps wide panels with slim meeting stiles but only opens part of the width; a bifold folds away but shows a frame every metre or so. Our sliding doors vs bifold doors guide compares them in detail.
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.
