Learn moreChoosing a sliding door
What is the difference between sliding doors and bifold doors?
A sliding door has large glass panels that glide past each other on tracks, while a bifold door has narrower panels that fold up concertina-style at one or both ends. Sliders give bigger panes, slimmer sightlines and no panels sticking out into the room or garden when open. Bifolds can clear almost the whole opening but show more frame when closed. Our sliding vs bifold guide compares them in detail.
Which sliding door material suits my budget?
uPVC suits the tightest budget, aluminium suits most mid-range projects, and timber or alu-clad suits buyers who want natural wood inside. As guide prices, fitted, including VAT at standard 2.1 m height, uPVC starts from £1,695, aluminium from £3,295 and timber or alu-clad from £5,095. Aluminium allows slimmer frames and larger panels than uPVC. The right choice also depends on the size, colour and thermal performance you need.
How wide can a sliding door be?
A sliding door can be several metres wide, because the overall width is made up of multiple panels. Standard aluminium panels go up to roughly 2.5–3 m wide and 2.5–3 m high depending on the system, and lift and slide panels can be larger still. Our guide prices cover overall widths up to 6 m for aluminium, slimline and lift and slide doors, and up to 8 m for corner, multi-track and large floor-to-ceiling doors. See sliding door sizes.
How many panels should my sliding door have?
Most sliding doors up to about 3 m wide work well with two panels. Wider doors usually move to three or four panels so each one stays a manageable size and weight. Fewer panels mean fewer interlocks and more uninterrupted glass. A multi-track door lets panels stack behind each other, so a larger share of the opening clears when the door is open. Your surveyor will suggest a panel layout that suits your opening.
Is triple glazing worth it on a sliding door?
Triple glazing is worth considering if heat loss, noise or a cold, north-facing room is your main concern. A good thermally broken aluminium slider typically achieves a whole-door U-value of around 1.2–1.6 W/m²K with double glazing and around 0.8–1.1 W/m²K with triple glazing, depending on the system. Triple glazing adds weight and cost and slightly reduces light and solar gain. For south-facing doors, double glazing with the right coatings is often enough. Compare both on the quote tool.
