Patio and Sliding Doors in Loughborough

How we specify patio sliding doors here

Heavy sealed units carried on stainless steel rollers running in a bottom track, with an interlocking stile where the panels meet. The roller and track quality decides whether the door still glides in year ten. Anti lift blocks so the sliding panel cannot be jacked off its track, multi point hook locking into the interlock, laminated glass across the panels and a 3 star cylinder.

• Stainless rollers rated for the panel weight, with anti lift blocks as standard
• Laminated glass on all panels, 3 star cylinder on the locking panel
• Track set dead level at installation so the panel does not run under its own weight
• From £1,650 fully fitted for a standard two panel set. Wider three and four panel arrangements are quoted after survey, and the price tracks glass area more than anything else.

Rollers, tracks and the ten year test

The old aluminium patio sliders we replace across Loughborough (LE11–LE12) are typically from the eighties, single glazed or with failed units, and running on worn steel wheels. They are also the classic anti lift weakness, and it is one of the few genuine security upgrades where the new product is dramatically better than the old.
