Duration Aluminium Patio Doors

Animation showing both panels can slide.Unlike many patio doors our Duration Aluminium Patio Door CAN SLIDE TO EITHER SIDE. This allows you to have a far more flexible furniture layout. Normal Patio Doors have a fixed panel and just one sliding panel. This fixed layout dictates the positioning of your furniture. With the Duration Aluminium Patio Door, both (or more) panels can slide to either side - so that your not tied to where you can place your furniture.

Maximum Opening and Flexibility

To maximise the opening area our system also allows the overall opening area to be as large as possible. This improves access into the room and provides you with maximum ventilation. You can see from the diagrams below that with 3 panels the opening is about two-thirds of the total opening, rather than half of the total opening with a two panel door.

Not Just 2 and 3 Panels !

We don't just do 2 and 3 panel sliding patio doors - we also do 4, 5 and 6 panel patio doors too ! As you can see in the following pictures, the 6 panel door provides an especially large opening. We also do folding doors which fold back against the wall leaving the largest possible opening. Click here to see our full folding doors.

High Security Locking is Standard

4 point high security locking is standard for doors over 1800mm high (most doors are around 2100mm). The picture below shows a typical lock from our patio doors. You can see in the picture the high security "hook locks" that hook into the frame of the door. Your doors will come with 1, 2 or 3 keys depending on the door design.
