Is a uPVC sliding patio door a good fit for your home in Lurgan?
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose uPVC sliding patio doors for a home in Lurgan:
Planning a door wider than about 3.6 m for your Lurgan home? That is beyond the uPVC range, so aluminium or a multi-track system would be the next step.
Replacing a tired patio door in Lurgan? A uPVC slider usually fits the existing opening, so the job is a straight swap rather than building work.
- A two-panel uPVC slider usually fits the same opening as an old patio door, so a straight swap avoids building work and typically takes a day.
- Shoot-bolt or hook locking on the sliding panel, plus anti-lift devices, help stop the panel being lifted or levered out of the frame from outside.
- Compressible gaskets and brush pile seals along the interlock reduce the draughts and rattles that an older patio door with worn seals often suffers from.
Daylight in Lurgan and what it means for your glass
In Lurgan the shortest day has roughly 7 h 17 min of daylight and the longest about 17 h 15 min. The noon sun sits near 12° above the horizon in winter and 59° in summer — so glass that faces south collects useful warmth from October to March, while a west-facing door may need solar control to stop it overheating in July.
What should you budget for uPVC sliding patio doors in Lurgan?
Use these guide prices to budget. They include VAT, fitting and taking away an old door of a similar size. Taller doors, triple glazing and dual colour add to the figure — the online tool shows how much.

How fitting works in Lurgan
We plan the job around your home in Lurgan: survey first, then a written quote, then manufacture (typically 2–4 weeks from survey sign-off).

Finishes and extras for uPVC sliding patio doors
- Threshold. A standard threshold for a straight swap, or a lower threshold where the floor build-up allows.
- Trims and cills. A matching uPVC cill, add-on trims and internal finishing so the new door sits neatly against existing plaster and brick.
- Glass. Toughened double glazing as standard, with laminated, obscure or solar-control units available.
Questions about uPVC sliding patio doors in Lurgan
How soon can you survey in Lurgan?
Survey dates in the BT66 district are arranged individually when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 2–4 weeks from survey sign-off.
Should I choose uPVC or aluminium for a sliding door?
Choose uPVC if budget and a quick, simple replacement matter most, and aluminium if you want slimmer frames, bigger panels or a powder-coated colour. uPVC insulates well and costs less, but its frames are wider and its panels smaller. Aluminium suits openings over about 3.6 m and modern extensions. Our aluminium vs uPVC guide sets out the differences.
Are uPVC sliding doors secure?
uPVC sliding doors are secure when the sliding panel has multi-point locking, anti-lift protection and steel reinforcement in the frame. Systems are available tested to PAS 24, the UK enhanced security standard for doorsets. Laminated glass adds resistance to breaking through, and a key-locking handle stops the door being opened from inside if a pane is broken.
How much do uPVC sliding patio doors cost?
uPVC sliding patio doors start from a guide price of £1,695 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 £2,195–£2,695, and a 3.6 m three-panel door is around £2,895. Coloured foils, glass upgrades and a low threshold move the figure up, and the final price is fixed in a written quote after survey.
