Supply-only sliding doors across Aberdeenshire and Moray
The right door depends on the opening, the room and the way you use the garden. Here is how supply-only sliding doors tend to work out in practice:
Builders working in Aberdeenshire and Moray who already have a trusted fitter can use supply-only to keep installation in-house while still getting made-to-measure doors.
If your Aberdeenshire and Moray property is on a narrow street or has no parking outside, tell us before delivery so a sensible drop-off point can be agreed.
- The doors use the same frames, glass and hardware as our fitted doors, made to the sizes you give us rather than cut from standard stock.
- Builders can schedule delivery to suit the project, avoiding doors sitting on site for weeks before the opening is ready for them.
- Manufacturer guarantees on frames, hardware and sealed units are passed to you, and the supply terms are set out in writing in your quote.

Daylight and glass in Aberdeenshire and Moray
Sun angles matter for big glazed doors. Around Aberdeenshire and Moray, midday sun reaches about 56° in summer and drops to about 9° in winter. That low winter sun is free heat through south-facing glass; high summer sun is easier to shade with a roof overhang, and solar-control glass helps where there is none.

Questions about supply-only sliding doors in Aberdeenshire and Moray
Do you deliver supply-only sliding doors to Aberdeenshire and Moray?
Yes. We deliver made-to-measure supply-only doors across Aberdeenshire and Moray, with standard delivery to mainland Britain at £95. Deliveries to Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted individually.
Who is responsible for measuring a supply-only door?
For supply-only orders you are responsible for measuring the opening and giving us the sizes, unless you book one of our surveys. We provide measuring guidance and tolerances, and confirm the sizes back to you in writing before ordering. If you book a survey, our surveyor measures and the responsibility for the sizes then sits with us.
How heavy are supply-only sliding door panels?
Sliding door panels with double glazed safety glass are heavy, and large panels can weigh well over the safe limit for one person to lift, especially with triple glazing. Plan for enough people on site to unload, carry and position each panel, and keep the route from the delivery point to the opening clear and level.
Can I fit a sliding door myself?
Fitting a sliding door yourself is possible if you are experienced with joinery and glazing, but large panels are heavy and the frame must be fitted square, level and well sealed for the door to run and drain properly. You also need to deal with Building Regulations compliance. Many people use supply-only with a builder they already trust.
