Black sliding doors across County Fermanagh
A few practical points decide whether black sliding doors suit a particular room and opening:
Where the rest of a County Fermanagh home has white windows, a black sliding door on the rear extension can work well, provided the extension reads as a separate, modern addition.
Got a small, north-facing back room in County Fermanagh? A dual colour frame keeps the black outside while a paler inner face stops the room feeling boxed in.
- With a dual colour frame you can keep black outside for the architecture and choose a lighter colour inside, so a small room does not feel enclosed by dark framing.
- Thermally broken aluminium systems are designed to cope with the extra expansion that comes from dark frames heating up in strong sun.
- Powder coating bonds the black colour to the metal with heat, so the frame does not need repainting, only washing with mild soapy water a few times a year.

Daylight and glass in County Fermanagh
In County Fermanagh the shortest day has roughly 7 h 18 min of daylight and the longest about 17 h 13 min. The noon sun sits near 12° above the horizon in winter and 59° 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.

Questions about black sliding doors in County Fermanagh
Is the price different in County Fermanagh?
The door price is the same as anywhere else. Because County Fermanagh is covered by arrangement, any travel cost for delivery and fitting is shown in your quote before you order; the survey itself is free.
Do black sliding doors get hot in the sun?
Yes, black frames absorb more solar heat than lighter colours, so on a south- or west-facing elevation they can become hot to touch on a sunny afternoon. Good thermally broken aluminium systems are designed to handle the extra expansion. If the glass area is large, solar-control glass helps limit how much heat passes into the room as well.
How much do black aluminium sliding doors cost?
On our aluminium doors black is a standard colour, so a single-colour black door is normally priced the same as white. The guide price for a 2.4 m two-panel door is £4,295–£5,295, and for a 3.6 m three-panel door £5,595–£6,895, fitted, inc VAT at standard 2.1 m height. Dual colour or special textures can add to the price.
Can I have black sliding doors in uPVC?
Yes, uPVC sliding doors can be supplied in black, usually as a foil laminated to the white uPVC profile. Dark foils on uPVC expand more in strong sun than aluminium, and the look and texture differ from powder-coated aluminium. Our uPVC sliding doors page explains the colours available on that material.
