Is a large floor-to-ceiling sliding door a good fit for your home in Craigavon?
Most homeowners choosing large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors want the same things: more light, a clear view and a door that is easy to live with.
On a self-build or new build in Craigavon, fixing the door size at design stage keeps the steelwork, floor build-up and threshold drainage coordinated.
For a Craigavon kitchen extension facing south or west, a whole wall of glass takes in sunshine all afternoon, so solar-control glass or integral blinds help keep it comfortable.
- Solar-control coatings can be added to tall south or west facing panels, reducing summer heat gain while still letting in plenty of daylight.
- Toughened and laminated safety glass is specified to suit the size and position of each panel, meeting the safety glazing requirements for glass in doors.
- A flush threshold with an outside drainage channel lets a large opening work as a level route between the kitchen floor and the terrace.
Daylight in Craigavon and what it means for your glass
At the latitude of Craigavon, the midday sun climbs to about 59° in late June but only about 12° in late December, when daylight lasts around 7 h 17 min against 17 h 15 min in midsummer. A south-facing large floor-to-ceiling sliding door lets that low winter sun deep into the room; on a west or south elevation, solar-control glass keeps summer afternoons comfortable.

How fitting works in Craigavon
Nothing is ordered until you sign off the surveyed specification. The door is made from the finished opening sizes (typically 6–8 weeks from survey sign-off), and fitting usually takes 3–5 days of building work for the opening, then 1–2 days to fit the door. If you are in Lurgan or Portadown, the same process and prices apply. Craigavon 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 Craigavon?
Opening up a wall in Northern Ireland needs district council building control approval and structural calculations. We take on this work in Northern Ireland by arrangement.

Questions about large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in Craigavon
Can you match other doors and windows in my Craigavon home?
Usually, yes. Most aluminium and uPVC systems come in standard RAL colours and finishes, and we can quote dual colour where the inside and outside need to differ. Bring photos of existing frames to the survey.
How are large glass panels delivered and lifted in?
Large glass panels are delivered on a scheduled vehicle and carried to the opening by a larger fitting team, with vacuum lifters or a glazing robot where panels are too heavy to handle safely by hand. The survey checks the route from the road to the back of the house, including gates, side passages and doorways, so any lifting equipment is planned before delivery day.
How tall can a sliding door be?
A sliding door can typically be up to about 2.5–3 m tall on standard aluminium systems, and taller on some lift and slide and slimline systems, depending on panel width and glass weight. Our large door range is priced on 2.7 m high panels. Taller doors need heavier glass and stronger support above, so the maximum for your opening is confirmed at survey.
How much do large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors cost?
Large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors start from a guide price of £7,995 for a 2.4 m two-panel door with 2.7 m high panels, fitted, inc VAT. A 4.8 m three-panel door at that height is a guide £12,595–£15,395, and an 8 m four-panel door is around £18,695. Structural work is priced separately, and the final price is fixed in a written quote after survey.
