Choice of slim interlocks
The XP Glide is available with a minimal interlock sightline of just 20mm which we structurally bond to the glass during the installation to increase it’s IX values and weathering performance. We also can offer the same 20mm sightline but with a deeper interlock if the installation is within an extremely exposed location, and we also have a 35mm interlock if you would prefer slightly wider sightlines within your sliding doors.
The XP Glide is displayed throughout all our showrooms and our expert team will happily talk you through the interlock options as well the many other benefits of this industry leading sliding door.
TWIN TRACK
With two tracks, our two panel and four panel sliding doors offer a 50% clear opening. And thanks to the quality and strength of our sliding door systems, we can manufacture a door in excess of 5000 mm x 2250 mm split into just two sections, and the doors themselves can be manufactured up to 2550mm tall.
TRIPLE TRACK
For more flexible configurations, a triple track offers three and six panel doors:
- Three panels can create a two-thirds opening, or two fixed with a middle sliding panel.
- Six panels can create extremely large doors, with three stacking either side. Offering both symmetry and a huge opening, it creates an impressive sliding door which will transform your home.
Aesthetically Pleasing
The XP Glide is the perfect product for homeowners looking to add natural light into their homes. The large glass panels and minimal profiles ensure that it looks stunning when installed into any property along with the piece of mind that it has been manufacture and installed by us to the highest standards.
Available with all panels sliding
The doors sits on a 12mm drainage packer which is expertly designed to drive water out of the track and away from the door. This intelligent drainage system reduces the amount of water pooling in the track which means we can offer all panels sliding if required.
Feature or Subtle Handles
The door is available with a subtle lever handle which blends in with the door, or our very popular feature bar handles which are available in black or stainless steel as well as square or angled.

- Interlocking profiles on sliding panels
- Anti-lift blocks in the head of all panels
- The system is glazed from the inside
DESIGNED FOR SAFETY
Our sliding doors are designed to be as safe as possible, so you and your family can use your doors with peace of mind. All of our doors are bespoke, so we can make sure that we install your bottom track as flush as possible. That way, there’s no unsightly upstand and no trip hazards.
