Sliding patio doors are both practical and convenient. Large uninterrupted openings can be achieved without awkward inward or outward opening door leafs making them especially ideal for areas of limited space. Sliding patio doors are the perfect choice where a particularly pleasant view is offered - each panel can go up 1500mm wide ensuring maximum view and maximum light. Despite these large and heavy panes of glass the opening sashes glide smoothly within their track on the roller system. Our patio doors can be made as 2, 3 or 4 pane doors with a maximum width of 5 meters.
Most sliding sash windows, also known as vertical sliding windows, of the previous age are long overdue for either major overhaul or replacement. Overhauling timber sash windows can be very costly and can usually be considered as 'throwing good money after bad'. That is why we offer low maintenance UPVC replacements that look as much like the old timber ones as possible. Our sliding sash windows also come with the option to 'tilt in' to enable external cleaning with ease. Our surveyor will carefully measure your existing windows inside and outside and work out from measurements taken exactly what size the replacement windows should be made.

We find that often the general opinion about Aluminium windows in the current market today is not exactly a good one. Most homeowners are still judging them by what they used to be 30 years ago. Like most things in the today's world Aluminium windows have come a very long way since those days. For example all domestic aluminium windows are now fully thermally broken creating a barrier between the outside and the inside of the window preventing any transfer of cold or heat taking place. This was not the case with the aluminium windows of old hence the problem of condensation forming both on the glass and the frame was extensive.
Our Residence 9, 19th century flush sash UPVC windows are a recent addition to our product range.

These problems are an all too common occurrence. Often these older style windows are found in period buildings in inner city areas or next to main roads where noise pollution is prevalent.

We all know the benefits of UPVC (link to UPVC overview pg 4) and we all know the disadvantages of timber - especially when utilised where exposed to the Mother Nature - it will rot, warp, the paint will flake off, and it soon becomes a haven for insects. We also know the disadvantages of cast iron in similar situations - guttering and downpipes will rust and corrode and again the paint will flake off. And on top of all this, more often than not, it will be very difficult to access these problem areas in order to address the issues and carry out the necessary maintenance work.

We recommend that any doors that will be subjected to commercial use should be manufactured from aluminium profiles.

Our Shopline Commercial Doors can be supplied in any RAL colour, come with a range of low threshold options and can be connected up to automated opening systems.
