Although the British summer can be patchy in terms of weather, there is still nothing better than flinging open the windows on a warm, sunlit day to let in all that lovely warmth and heat. If you have patio doors, you will know how amazing it feels to let the outside in, allowing you to step seamlessly from home to garden and back again.
If you’re considering replacing your old patio doors with new sliding glass doors, this blog will equip you with all the knowledge you need to make an informed decision.
We’ll explore the different material options available and highlight key features to look out for.
Why Choose Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors?
Aluminium sliding patio doors have become a popular choice for homeowners for several reasons:
- Natural Light: Aluminium’s inherent slim sightlines allow for maximum light to flood your living space, creating a brighter and more inviting atmosphere.
- Space Saving: Sliding doors open effortlessly without requiring additional clearance, making them ideal for smaller patios or rooms with limited space.
- Modern Aesthetics: Aluminium doors offer a sleek and contemporary look that complements both traditional and modern architectural styles.
- Durability: Aluminium is a robust and weather-resistant material, ensuring your doors will withstand the elements for years to come.
- Low Maintenance: Aluminium requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking its best.
Features to Consider When Choosing Sliding Patio Doors
When selecting new sliding patio doors, there are several key features to consider:
- Thermal Performance: Look for doors with double glazing, a polyamide thermal break, and low U-values (a measure of heat loss) for optimal thermal insulation. This will help keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, leading to lower energy bills.
- Security: Patio doors are a potential entry point for burglars, so security should be a top priority. Opt for doors with robust hardware, multi-point locking systems, and PAS 24 compliance (a UK security standard).
- Customisation: Modern sliding doors offer a wide range of customization options. Choose from a variety of colours, finishes, and even handle styles to match your existing décor and personal taste.
- Operation: Sliding doors should open and close effortlessly. Look for doors with smooth-gliding rollers and concealed tracks for a seamless operation.
- Glass Choices: Consider the type of glass you want for your doors. Consider tinted glass for added privacy or solar control glass to reduce heat gain during the summer months.
Options for sliding patio doors
We offer a variety of aluminium sliding door options from Origin in four distinct ranges: OS-20, OS-29, OS-44, and OS-77. For an incredibly minimalist look, the OS-20 features an ultra-slim sightline of just 20mm, maximising natural light and creating a seamless connection to your outdoor space. If you prioritise thermal efficiency, the OS-29 (29mm sightline) and OS-44 (44mm sightline) offer exceptional insulation.
Finally, the OS-77 boasts a robust 77mm sightline, ideal for larger sliding doors where structural integrity is paramount. No matter your budget or style, Sandymount has an aluminium sliding door to perfectly complement your home.
