Aluminium sliding doors in N5

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. Sliding doors suit flats opening onto balconies or terraces because they do not swing, but check freeholder consent and drainage at the threshold first.

Where the originals were timber sashes, any replacement must be sympathetic, and we will advise on what is likely to be accepted before you commit. Holloway Road, Blackstock Road and Highbury Corner are noisy; side streets are calmer. We are about 4.6 miles from N5.

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.
