Consider a Door that Fits Seamlessly in Your Home

The first thing you should consider when choosing an aluminium sliding door is where it is going to fit. The sliding doors we will consider from Origin come with a made to measure fit, resulting in a bespoke service for your home. It doesn’t matter if you want to create a traditional look or something contemporary, we have a sliding door for you.

When considering an aluminium door for your property, take advantage of a material that weighs 67% less than steel, but gives inherent strength. The material’s lightness makes the door easy to operate, and able to open and close with ease. Aluminium is one of the strongest materials on the market, being able to withstand the worst weather conditions. And, the doors support slim sightlines, resulting in maximum views. If you are looking for a design that fits into tricky and awkward corners, it can be transformed into corner bifold doors which improve your security straight away.

Choose the Right Glass For Your Door

At Panoramic, we believe every homeowner is different. With this in mind, you will benefit from many glazing patterns. Natural light is essential, however, this can also damage your furniture if you get too much glare from the sun, then choose Low E glass that will be ideal for the environment. Low E glass offers superior insulating power as well, which is ideal for the cold winter months.

In the summer, choosing Low E glass will ensure that solar thermal energy is reflected away from your home. As a result, you will experience a cool and comfortable indoor environment. As a result, it will be suitable all year round. This is a massive advantage if you decide on Low E glass.

Ensure Your Home Has Enough Space for A Sliding Door

In comparison to a swing door, choosing a sliding door will help you save plenty of space in your home. It is important to consider something that will deliver outstanding performance and superb natural light. When choosing a sliding door, it is important to factor in a large space.

One option that you can consider is to choose a design such as a French door with two panels sliding from the middle. However, at Panoramic, we offer a range of different configurations for homeowners to choose from. Another popular choice for smaller spaces includes one fixed panel and one sliding panel. The choice is entirely up to you.

Consider Security For Your Sliding Doors

Security is one of the most important things to think about when you choose a sliding door. Intruders are more likely to enter your home when it is dark outside. Thankfully, your sliding doors will give you plenty of protection. They are Secured by Design accredited and offer a multi point locking system consisting of 8 locking points. What sets the doors apart is the chamfered 20mm linear bolts that deliver a smooth operation and give better protection against weather resistance. The thick glazing is soundproof so if you live in a loud neighbourhood, this will cut loud sounds out.

The defence they offer is second to none, as the doors come with barrel options that protect against snapping and drilling. As a result, your home will stay stronger for many years.
