DESIGN & ENGINEERING
These state-of-the-art sliding doors offer several benefits, including multiple door options. The beauty of our super-sized sliding glass doors is the massive glass areas that our slimline doors allow. Minimal aluminium profiles between panes means unrestricted views and more natural light. There are numerous opening configurations available, with our aluminium sliding doors available on twin track and triple track systems.

- Typical sightline of just 35mm or 20mm.
- Structurally bonded on site for increased weather performance.
- Strong and secure: five-point locking on master door with interlocking profiles on intermediate panels.

Choice of two slim interlocks
We have modified our XP Glide sliding door by offer a new interlock with a reduced sightline of 20mm, down from 35mm. The doors outer frame & locking components remain the same but we have reduced the thickness of the aluminium between the glass by almost 50%. The strength & weathering performance remains the same as the slender 20mm profiles have reinforcement front and back so although the sightlines are incredibly narrow the XP Glide sliding door remains a high specification & high performance patio door.
Our 35mm interlock profile is still available, allowing you the choice between two stunning and slender interlock options for your XP Glide sliding doors.
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 2400 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.
20mm or 35mm Sightline
The XP Glide has two interlock options, offering a vertical sightline of just 20mm or 35mm respectively. This means that the huge glass door is broken up only a slender vertical bar of our aluminium interlock profile.
Feature or Subtle Handle
The door is available with a subtle lever handle, or our very popular stainless steel feature handle. The door is now available with a reduced sightline of just 20mm

SOLIDITY COMES AS STANDARD
If you’re looking for something secure and reliable as well as stylish, then our XP Glide glass sliding doors are the perfect choice. The panels are injected with a liquid component, which sets rock-hard, making each panel light but solid as concrete.
Designed with security in mind, our aluminium sliding doors boast features such as:
- Five-point lock on master door
- 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.
TOUGH LOCKS
