Are supply-only sliding doors right for homes in Mid Glamorgan?
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:
Whoever fits a supply-only door at your Mid Glamorgan home, ask them up front how they will handle Building Regulations compliance.
Builders working in Mid Glamorgan who already have a trusted fitter can use supply-only to keep installation in-house while still getting made-to-measure doors.
- Builders can schedule delivery to suit the project, avoiding doors sitting on site for weeks before the opening is ready for them.
- Supply-only costs roughly two thirds of the fitted guide price for the same door, which can make sense when you already have a capable fitter on site.
- 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.

Daylight and glass in Mid Glamorgan
Because Mid Glamorgan sees long summer days (about 16 h 40 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 48 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 15° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.

Questions about supply-only sliding doors in Mid Glamorgan
Do you deliver supply-only sliding doors to Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We deliver made-to-measure supply-only doors across Mid Glamorgan, with standard delivery to mainland Britain at £95. Deliveries to Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted individually.
What does supply-only mean?
Supply-only means we manufacture and deliver your made-to-measure sliding door, but we do not fit it. You, your builder or your own installer carry out the installation. The door uses the same frames, glass and hardware as our fitted doors. Supply-only is priced at roughly two thirds of the fitted guide price for the same door, plus delivery.
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.
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.
