Why choose aluminium sliding doors in Limavady?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering aluminium sliding doors for a home in Limavady:
Whether you live in Limavady or elsewhere in County Londonderry, a lawn or patio sitting just below floor level can still take a low threshold, provided an outside drainage channel or a fall away from the door is planned.
If your Limavady home has a rear extension or kitchen-diner, aluminium sliding doors let you place a table close to the glass, because no panel swings into the room.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Planning glass for the light in Limavady
Because Limavady sees long summer days (about 17 h 23 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 09 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.

Survey, manufacture and fitting around Limavady
A surveyor visits your Limavady home to measure the structural opening, check levels and the lintel, and talk through glass and finish. Once you confirm the written specification, the door is made to measure — typically 4–6 weeks from survey sign-off — and fitting usually takes 1 day for a two-panel straight swap; 1–2 days for larger doors. We also cover Dungiven (13 km south) and Coleraine (20 km north-east). Limavady 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.

Questions about aluminium sliding doors in Limavady
How soon can you survey in Limavady?
Survey dates in the BT49 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.
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.
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.
