The basics

Why choose sliding patio doors? in Ashford

Sliding patio doors run along a track instead of swinging or folding into the room, so they need no floor space to open into, useful where furniture sits close to the opening.

Large, uninterrupted panes give clear views of the garden even when closed, and only one panel needs to move to open the doors. A natural fit alongside a conservatory or modular extension.

Sliding or bifold doors?

If maximising an unobstructed view matters more than opening the space completely, sliding doors are usually the better fit. If you want the whole opening to disappear when entertaining, bifold doors are worth considering alongside them.

Common questions

Sliding patio door FAQs in Ashford

Should I choose sliding or bifold doors?

Sliding doors keep a slimmer profile and need less floor space, suiting narrower openings and clear views. Bifold doors open the full width, ideal for completely connecting a room to the garden.

Aluminium or UPVC?

Aluminium allows slimmer frames and larger panes. UPVC is a cost-effective option on smaller openings. Both are made to the same exacting standard, so it comes down to appearance and opening size.

How many tracks can I have?

Sliding doors can run across two, three or more tracks. Triple track systems allow larger openings to slide fully open on one side.

Are sliding doors easy to operate?

Yes. Only one panel needs to move, so they are often easier to operate one-handed, and we level and adjust every set so they glide smoothly from day one.

What guarantees come with the doors?

Every set carries a 10-year product warranty and a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, with a 5-year warranty on glass, plus FENSA-certified installation.
