Aluminium sliding doors in West Kensington

Around West Kensington you will mostly find Victorian terraces, Edwardian mansion flats and council estates. 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. For restaurants, cafés and offices, sliding doors save floor space and give an open frontage onto terraces, though accessibility and escape routes must still be considered.

The A4 West Cromwell Road and Talgarth Road carry heavy traffic through the south of the area, and homes near them benefit from acoustic glazing. Large redevelopment on the former Earls Court site has also brought building work nearby. Some streets fall within conservation areas, so we check those, and we talk to freeholders early when flats are involved.

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.
