Project Overview

A detached family home in the historic village of Shenley required a modern glazing solution for its rear elevation. The existing door and windows were outdated, inefficient, and failed to connect the interior living space with the garden. The homeowners wanted a premium, cohesive solution that would maximise natural light, provide effortless garden access, and enhance the property’s contemporary aesthetic. The goal was to install an aluminium sliding door and matching windows to transform the space into a bright, modern, and energy-efficient living area.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed a bespoke aluminium sliding door and window system tailored to the property’s rear elevation. The solution included:

  • Aluminium sliding door with slim-profile frames for clean, modern sightlines and uninterrupted garden views
  • Matching aluminium casement windows flanking the sliding door for balanced ventilation and a cohesive aesthetic
  • Thermally broken profiles to prevent heat loss, eliminate condensation, and meet building regulations
  • Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill for superior thermal efficiency
  • Multi-point locking system with high-security handles for enhanced peace of mind
  • Concealed stainless steel roller system for smooth, quiet sliding operation
  • Low-threshold track for step-free garden access
  • Powder-coated finish in White to complement the property’s contemporary exterior
  • Matching handles and hardware for a unified finish
  • Concealed drop-down weather seals for superior draught protection

Installation Process

  • Conducted precise laser measurement of all openings on the rear elevation
  • Removed old door and windows carefully to preserve surrounding brickwork and internal finishes
  • Disposed of all waste materials responsibly
  • Inspected and prepared the structural openings, lintels, and sills
  • Installed steel reinforcement where required for the aluminium system
  • Lifted aluminium sliding door frame into position using precision packers
  • Lifted aluminium window frames into position alongside the door
  • Mechanically fixed all frames to the structure ensuring zero movement
  • Fitted the fixed glazed panel into the sliding door frame
  • Hung the sliding door panel onto the roller mechanism and adjusted for smooth, effortless operation
  • Fitted double-glazed sealed units into the sliding door and all windows
  • Installed multi-point locking mechanism and tested all locks
