Is a tilt and slide door a good fit for your home in Lurgan?
Before you settle on a door type, it helps to know what tilt and slide doors do well and what to check before you order.
If a bedroom in your Lurgan home opens onto a balcony or garden, the tilt position on tilt and slide doors lets in fresh air at night without leaving the door open.
Is the opening in your Lurgan home wider than about 3 m? If so, tilt and slide hardware will not carry a sash that size, and a lift and slide door is worth comparing.
- A tilt and slide door fits the same kind of opening as an ordinary patio door, so a draughty older slider can often be swapped without building work.
- When closed, the sash is drawn back into the frame and presses onto gaskets on all four edges, giving a window-like seal against draughts and driving rain.
- A sliding restrictor, available on many systems, limits how far the sash can open, which is useful for upstairs balconies and homes with young children.

What happens when you order tilt and slide doors in Lurgan?
We plan the job around your home in Lurgan: survey first, then a written quote, then manufacture (typically 2–4 weeks for uPVC or 4–6 weeks for aluminium, from survey sign-off). The fitting itself usually takes 1 day for a straight swap in an existing opening. If you are in Craigavon or Portadown, the same process and prices apply. Lurgan 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 Lurgan?
In Northern Ireland, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply through your district council's building control service, with energy guidance in Technical Booklet F1. Work in Northern Ireland is by arrangement, and we confirm the approval route for your property at survey.

Questions about tilt and slide doors in Lurgan
Is the price different in Lurgan?
The door price is the same as anywhere else. Because Lurgan is covered by arrangement, any travel cost for delivery and fitting is shown in your quote before you order; the survey itself is free.
Is a tilt and slide door safe to leave tilted?
A tilt and slide door in the tilt position opens only a narrow gap at the top, so it is far harder to get through than an open door, but it is not locked. Close and lock the sash whenever the house is empty. When closed, perimeter locking points hold the sash like a window, and systems are available tested to PAS 24.
How much does a tilt and slide patio door cost?
Tilt and slide patio doors start from a guide price of £1,995 for a 1.5 m two-panel door, fitted, inc VAT, at standard 2.1 m height. A 2.1 m door is a guide £2,395–£2,895, and a 3 m door is around £2,995. Aluminium frames, colour and triple glazing move the figure up, and the final price is fixed in a written quote after survey.
How long does a tilt and slide door take?
A tilt and slide door typically takes 2–4 weeks to make in uPVC and 4–6 weeks in aluminium, from survey sign-off. Fitting typically takes 1 day for a straight swap in an existing opening, including removing the old door and making good. These are typical times rather than fixed promises, and the date is confirmed once the order is placed.
