Are timber and alu-clad sliding doors right for your Lisnaskea home?
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose timber and alu-clad sliding doors for a home in Lisnaskea:
Where the back of a Lisnaskea home faces south and takes full sun, choosing alu-clad keeps the timber protected and cuts out the re-coating that strong sunlight makes necessary.
For a listed building or a house in a conservation area in Lisnaskea, check with the local planning authority before choosing any new door; timber frames are often closer in character to the original joinery.
- Wood is a natural insulator, so timber frames feel warm to the touch in winter and help keep condensation off the inside face of the frame.
- Many timber systems use lift and slide hardware, letting large, heavy panels glide easily and then settle onto compressed seals for a tight closure.
- An alu-clad exterior shields the wood from rain and sunlight, so the outside needs only washing while the inside keeps a natural timber finish.

How fitting works in Lisnaskea
A surveyor visits your Lisnaskea home to measure the structural opening, check levels and the lintel, and talk through glass and finish. Once you confirm the written specification, the door is made to measure — typically 8–10 weeks from survey sign-off — and fitting usually takes 1 day for a two-panel swap; 1–2 days for larger doors. We also cover Enniskillen (16 km north-west) and Fivemiletown (18 km north-east). Lisnaskea 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 Lisnaskea?
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.
Choosing the specification
- Interior finish. Clear lacquer, a wood stain or a painted colour, chosen to match floors, beams or kitchen units.
- Handles. Traditional or contemporary handles in bronze, black, satin chrome or brass-effect finishes.
- Sliding hardware. Inline rollers on smaller doors, or lift and slide gear for larger and heavier panels.

Are timber sliding doors secure?
Timber sliding doors are secure when built with multi-point locking, laminated glass and robust sections, because engineered timber gives the locking keeps a solid, dense fixing. Timber systems are available tested to PAS 24, the UK enhanced security test standard for doorsets. Internally beaded glass and a key-locking handle add further resistance to forced entry.
How big can a timber sliding door be?
A timber sliding door in our range is typically about 1.5 m to 4.8 m wide overall, in two to four panels, at standard 2.1 m height or taller on request. Individual panel sizes depend on the system and glass weight; larger panels usually move to lift and slide hardware so they stay easy to open. Sizes are confirmed after survey.
How much do timber sliding doors cost?
Timber and alu-clad sliding doors start from a guide price of £5,095 for a 1.5 m two-panel door, fitted, inc VAT, at standard 2.1 m height. A 2.4 m door is a guide £6,495–£7,995, and a 4.8 m four-panel door is around £10,395. Species, cladding, finish and glass all affect the figure, and the final price is fixed in a written quote after survey.
