Are sliding doors for extensions right for homes in County Fermanagh?
The right door depends on the opening, the room and the way you use the garden. Here is how sliding doors for extensions tend to work out in practice:
If your County Fermanagh builder is about to pour the screed, confirm the finished floor level for the threshold first, because it is very hard to change afterwards.
Planning an extension in County Fermanagh? Send us the drawings before the steel is ordered, so the beam above the doors can be designed with the door in mind.
- A check survey once the opening is built means the door is made to the real dimensions, accounting for any small variation in the brickwork or blockwork.
- Being involved at drawing stage means the opening is formed to suit the door, rather than the door being compromised to suit an opening built a few centimetres out.
- Agreeing a fitting date with your builder lets the extension be made weathertight on programme, so plastering and flooring can follow without waiting on the doors.

Questions about sliding doors for extensions in County Fermanagh
Do you fit sliding doors for extensions in County Fermanagh?
Yes, by arrangement. County Fermanagh 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.
Can you measure from drawings rather than the built opening?
We can quote from drawings, but we manufacture from a check survey of the built opening, because real openings often differ slightly from the plans. Making a large made-to-measure door from drawings alone risks it not fitting. If a programme makes that unavoidable, any arrangement and who carries the risk would be agreed in writing first.
Can you work with my builder and architect?
Yes, working with your builder, architect and structural engineer is the normal way we approach extension doors. We can provide technical details, opening sizes, threshold requirements and fixing information, and attend site for the check survey. Your builder forms the opening and prepares the floor, and our installers fit the doors to the agreed programme.
Why does the steel beam matter for sliding doors?
The steel beam above an extension's sliding door matters because every beam bends a little under load, and a large sliding door needs a straight, level head to run freely. If the engineer knows a wide slider will sit under the beam, they can design for low deflection. Too much movement can make panels stiff or bind.
