What aluminium sliding doors offer homes in Egham
Most homeowners choosing aluminium sliding doors want the same things: more light, a clear view and a door that is easy to live with.
Thinking about a dark frame for a house in Egham? Anthracite grey and black powder coats show off slim aluminium sightlines, and dual colour keeps the inside lighter if you prefer.
Whether you live in Egham or elsewhere in Surrey, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Light and sun in Egham
In Egham the shortest day has roughly 7 h 50 min of daylight and the longest about 16 h 38 min. The noon sun sits near 15° above the horizon in winter and 62° in summer — so glass that faces south collects useful warmth from October to March, while a west-facing door may need solar control to stop it overheating in July.

What happens when you order aluminium sliding doors in Egham?
A surveyor visits your Egham 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 Slough (9 km north) and Feltham (10 km east).
Rules for aluminium sliding doors in England
In England, a replacement sliding door is a controlled fitting under the Building Regulations. In an existing home, a door with more than 60% glazing must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or a Doorset Energy Rating of band C) under Approved Document L, and glass in doors must be safety glazing under Approved Document K. We arrange compliance through a competent person scheme installer or by notifying Building Control, and you receive the certificate.
Options to consider for your aluminium sliding door
- 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.
- Colours. Standard shades such as anthracite grey, black and white, or a special RAL colour for an extra charge.
Questions about aluminium sliding doors in Egham
How soon can you survey in Egham?
Surveys in the TW20 district are booked at a time that suits you, and we offer survey dates when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 4–6 weeks from survey sign-off.
Are aluminium sliding doors warm enough for a UK home?
Thermally broken aluminium sliding doors are warm enough for most homes, with typical whole-door U-values around 1.2–1.6 W/m²K double glazed and 0.8–1.1 W/m²K triple glazed, depending on the system. In England, a new or replacement door in an existing home with more than 60% glazing must reach 1.4 W/m²K or better, so the glass is specified to meet that. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules.
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.
