Why settle for a typical 40% opening as achieved with standard Patio doors when you can create a 90%clear opening with a folding sliding door?

Why aluminium?Aluminium is a unique metal; strong, durable, flexible, impermeable and light-weight and does not rust . Aluminium was first produced in 1888 and is now thesecond most-used metal in the world after iron.

When aluminium is recycled, most of the original input can be recovered and this process can be done over and over again so aluminium can be reused endlessly.Nearly three-quarters of all aluminium ever made remains in use today. Aluminium does not age and needs no protection from ultra-violet light and can be coated in many different colours and finishes.

Our aluminium folding sliding doors will give you 'peace of mind' with the knowledge that you have played a part in protecting our planet for future generations -they will help to reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the cost of your heating and at the end of their lifetime they will be recyclable.
