Benefits of a sliding exterior door

A sliding door of aluminium is not only strong, but also lightweight and low-maintenance. The material is resistant to intensive use and all weather conditions. As a result, the door remains in top condition for years without requiring a lot of work from you. Moreover, aluminium makes larger glass areas possible, visually blending outdoor space and interior. Thus you choose a combination of design and convenience. Indoors, the exact same finish can be found as black aluminium door.

Why a sliding door as an external facade?

Benefits of a sliding exterior door

Space-saving

Space-saving

An important advantage of exterior sliding doors is space saving. Whereas traditional doors swing inwards or outwards when opening and therefore take up space, an exterior sliding door slides smoothly to the side. This means that you have more living space left over, both inside and out. Especially in the case of a veranda, conservatory or small garden, this is a clever solution with which you make optimal use of the available space.

Easy access

Easy access

A sliding exterior door also offers easy access. You open and close the door with minimal effort and enjoy a wide passage to your garden or patio. This is ideal during summer evenings or when receiving guests. Also in commercial environments, such as hospitality venues or showrooms, the smooth access is a major plus.

Sustainability

The most sustainable doors

Whoever chooses an aluminium sliding exterior door, chooses a sustainable investment. Aluminium does not warp or rust and maintains its quality even after years of use. Thanks to modern coatings, the profiles retain a sleek appearance for a long time, regardless of intensive use or weather conditions. In addition, the sliding doors boast excellent thermal insulation. This allows you to limit heat loss, keep the cold out and save energy.

Optimal natural light

Optimal natural light

A sliding exterior door is the ultimate way to let in more natural light. The large glass surfaces ensure optimal light admission and a spatial effect. Do you want to let in as much light as possible? Then choose clear glass. Go for frosted glass when you want more privacy. Variants in grey, green or bronze-coloured glass are also among the possibilities. This way, you can tailor your sliding door completely to your interior style and preference.

How much does an aluminium sliding patio door cost?

The price of an aluminium sliding patio door averages between €2,000 and €5,000, depending on dimensions, glass and finish. Large sliding doors with insulating glass and custom finishes can turn out more expensive. Standard models are often cheaper. Installation and any structural adjustments affect the final costs.

What is the difference between a sliding patio door and a hinged door?

A sliding glass door is usually a complete glass wall consisting of multiple sliding and fixed sections. A sliding door, on the other hand, is often single and serves purely as a door to the outside. With a sliding glass wall, the focus is more on creating a large, open passageway and plenty of natural light. A sliding door is primarily used as a functional passageway.

How is the thermal insulation of a sliding exterior door?

Aluminium sliding exterior doors nowadays have good thermal insulation thanks to thermal breaks in the profile. In combination with double glazing (HR++) or triple glazing, they achieve low U-values and keep heat in well. This makes them energy-efficient and suitable for modern homes. The insulation value is comparable to that of high-quality aluminium window frames and doors.

Modern glass sliding door with black framing, perfect for indoor and outdoor use, offers a sleek look and plenty of natural light.
