Aluminium sliding doors in CM16

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.

On period homes in conservation areas, rear sliding doors are often acceptable where hidden from the street, but confirm with the council before ordering. 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.

Theydon Bois, south of Epping, is a village with its own green and mostly 20th-century homes. Both sit next to Epping Forest, with the M11 and M25 nearby. Older properties need careful matching; newer ones benefit most from efficient, secure replacements. We are about 7.5 miles from CM16.

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.
