Are aluminium sliding doors right for your Dungannon home?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering aluminium sliding doors for a home in Dungannon:
Before aluminium sliding doors are ordered for a Dungannon home, the survey should check the opening width, floor levels and existing lintel, so the quote reflects the real job.
For a south- or west-facing garden in Dungannon, solar-control glass in the sliding panels can keep a glazed room more comfortable on summer afternoons.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Planning glass for the light in Dungannon
Daylight in Dungannon runs from about 7 h 16 min in December to 17 h 15 min in June, with the noon sun at roughly 12° and 59° respectively. Use that to choose your glass: standard low-E double glazing for north and east elevations, and consider solar-control or triple glazing for sunny south and west walls.

From survey to fitted door in Dungannon
A surveyor visits your Dungannon 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 Coalisland (6 km north-east) and Cookstown (16 km north). Dungannon 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.
Rules for aluminium sliding doors in Northern Ireland
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.
Choosing the specification
- Dual colour. A different colour inside and outside, so the exterior can match your windows while the interior suits the room.
- Handles and locks. Slim pull handles or lever handles in matching or contrasting finishes, with an enhanced security locking pack available.
- 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.
Questions about aluminium sliding doors in Dungannon
Is the price different in Dungannon?
The door price is the same as anywhere else. Because Dungannon is covered by arrangement, any travel cost for delivery and fitting is shown in your quote before you order; the survey itself is free.
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.
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.
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.
