Aluminium sliding doors in West Hampstead

Homes in West Hampstead are mostly Victorian terraces, red-brick mansion flats and converted maisonettes. In Victorian side-return extensions, a two or three-panel sliding door gives wide views while staying practical in narrow gardens where swinging doors would get in the way.

Sliding doors suit flats opening onto balconies or terraces because they do not swing, but check freeholder consent and drainage at the threshold first. On period homes in conservation areas, rear sliding doors are often acceptable where hidden from the street, but confirm with the council before ordering.

With three stations and their railway lines cutting through the area, train noise is a real issue for homes backing onto the tracks, and acoustic glazing makes a noticeable difference. Parts of West Hampstead, including around West End Green, are conservation areas, so we confirm details with Camden Council first. We are about 7.7 miles from the area.

Sliding patio doors use large glass panels that glide along a track, opening up a rear wall without taking any space inside or out. Made with slim aluminium frames, they suit kitchen extensions, living rooms and modern homes where owners want maximum glass, views and daylight.
