Sliding Patio Doors: The Modern Choice for London & Kent Homes
Sliding patio doors offer an elegant alternative to bifold doors, providing larger uninterrupted glass panels for spectacular views. At NZR Windows & Doors, we install premium aluminium and uPVC sliding doors across London, Kent, Surrey, and Essex. Explore our full range of residential installations.
Unlike bifolds that fold and stack, sliding doors glide smoothly along a track. This means no panels protruding into your room or garden, making them ideal for smaller spaces or areas with limited clearance.
Lift & Slide vs Inline Sliding
Inline sliding doors are the more affordable option, ideal for standard openings up to 3 metres. Lift & slide systems can accommodate much larger, heavier panels—up to 500kg per panel—making them perfect for grand, floor-to-ceiling installations.

Sliding door FAQs
What's the difference between sliding and bifold doors?
Sliding doors glide along a track rather than folding. They offer larger individual glass panels for uninterrupted views, require less space to open, and are often quieter and lower maintenance than bifolds.
How large can sliding door panels be?
Our aluminium sliding doors can accommodate panels up to 3 metres wide and 3 metres high, creating dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing with minimal frame intrusion.
Are sliding doors secure?
Absolutely. Our sliding doors feature multi-point locking systems, anti-lift devices, and toughened or laminated glass. Many systems achieve PAS 24 security certification.
Can sliding doors be automated?
Yes, we can install electric operation for sliding doors, allowing you to open and close them at the touch of a button or via smartphone app.
What frame colours are available?
We offer the full RAL colour range for aluminium frames. Popular choices include anthracite grey, black, and white. Dual colour options allow different colours inside and outside.
