Aluminium sliding doors in EN1

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. 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.

Elsewhere the district is mostly Edwardian terraces and inter-war semis, many with wide front bays. The A10 Great Cambridge Road brings constant traffic to the houses either side of it. At about 2.6 miles from our Edmonton workshop, EN1 is one of the places we cover most easily.

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.
