Description
Aluminium 3-Panel Sliding Patio Door – All Sliding
Bring a wide, flexible opening to your home with our Made to Measure Aluminium 3-Panel Sliding Patio Door in an all-sliding configuration. All three glazed sections operate independently, giving you full control over how much of the opening is used at any time, without needing the scale of a full four-panel installation.
A Flexible Three-Panel Design
With every panel able to slide on its own track, this configuration suits openings where you want the option of opening the entire width without being restricted to fixed outer sections. It sits between the compact two-panel doors and the widest four-panel configurations in overall scale.
Strong Aluminium Construction
Aluminium provides an excellent combination of strength, stability and long-term durability. Its inherent rigidity makes it particularly suitable for larger patio door configurations, where the frame needs to support substantial glazed panels while maintaining a neat profile. The robust construction is designed for everyday use and requires relatively little maintenance compared with traditional timber alternatives — a simple clean is generally all that is needed to keep the frame looking smart.
Secure Sliding Door System
Security is an important part of the design. The sliding panels can be fitted with a multipoint locking system, securing the door at several positions rather than relying on a single central lock point. All three sliding panels are independently secured at their track and locking points when closed, giving consistent protection across the full width of the opening. High-quality handles provide convenient operation from inside the property. For projects where security hardware specifications are particularly important, the exact lock and handle configuration can be selected according to the required door specification.
Double Glazing for Everyday Comfort
The large glazed areas combine with modern double-glazing technology to help reduce heat transfer through the doors. This can help maintain a more comfortable indoor environment while reducing the amount of heat lost through older or poorly insulated patio doors. The system can also be coordinated with double glazed aluminium windows or other aluminium glazing throughout your property, creating a consistent modern aesthetic.
Made to Measure for Your Opening
This aluminium 3-panel sliding patio door is manufactured to suit your specific opening rather than being restricted to a standard off-the-shelf size, with a maximum frame width of 3750mm, all three panels sliding independently. Whether you're replacing an existing patio entrance, finishing a new extension or designing an open-plan living area, the made-to-measure approach allows the door configuration to be tailored to your available opening.
