Why choose timber and alu-clad sliding doors in Dungannon?
Before you settle on a door type, it helps to know what timber and alu-clad sliding doors do well and what to check before you order.
Oak floors, exposed beams or a timber kitchen in your Dungannon home? Matching the inside finish of the door ties the new glazing into the room.
If your Dungannon home is a period property or a barn conversion, timber and alu-clad sliding doors can bring in more light without the modern look of a metal frame.
- Engineered timber is laminated from several layers with the grain opposed, so frames resist the twisting and warping that solid timber can suffer as the seasons change.
- 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.
Planning glass for the light in Dungannon
Because Dungannon sees long summer days (about 17 h 15 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 16 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 12° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.

How fitting works in Dungannon
A surveyor visits your Dungannon 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 Coalisland (6 km north-east) and Cookstown (16 km north). Dungannon 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 Dungannon?
Building control in Northern Ireland is run by district councils under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). We take on work in Northern Ireland by arrangement and confirm what approval your door needs before anything is ordered.
Choosing the specification
- Timber species. Oak or another hardwood for a visible grain, or engineered softwood where a painted finish is planned.
- Sliding hardware. Inline rollers on smaller doors, or lift and slide gear for larger and heavier panels.
- Alu-cladding. A powder-coated aluminium outer shell in a standard or RAL colour, with timber left on show inside.
Questions about timber and alu-clad sliding doors in Dungannon
How soon can you survey in Dungannon?
Survey dates in the BT71 district are arranged individually when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 8–10 weeks from survey sign-off.
How often do timber sliding doors need treating?
Timber sliding doors need the outside re-coated every few years, depending on how exposed the elevation is and which finish system is used; doors facing full sun or coastal weather need attention soonest. Alu-clad doors avoid this, needing only an occasional wash outside. Inside, timber only needs wiping and an occasional refresh of the lacquer or oil, and a clean track protects the rollers.
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.
